Philips FC9170 Performer

Advantages: Very quiet
Powerful
Long cord
Design

Disadvantages: Not maneuverable.
There is a loss of power when filling the bag more than 50%

Comment: I bought Philips FC9170 / 07 in the online store for 7000 rubles. Included is a bag with nozzles for cars. Before him, there was an old Whirlwind vacuum cleaner that made more noise and smelled than a vacuum cleaner. Very surprised how Filipok quietly works! I did not notice any problems with statics - I just take on the metal part of the pipe. Power is beyond the limits, but as the bag is full it falls. When you pull the hose, the vacuum cleaner travels in different directions and crashes into the shoals. The tri-active brush is quite comfortable, it has to be cleaned with scissors and a screwdriver once every 2 months from the wife's hair. I am satisfied with the vacuum cleaner, I recommend to purchase.

Advantages: It is really quiet, very quiet for a vacuum cleaner. The brush is very comfortable, crawling into a corner or around furniture legs is not a problem. It goes very easy, and he himself is quite light. And of course power, it seems only for the sake of it and buy it)))

Comment: Carpet with a long nap like a new one, no debris remains inside, an old vacuum cleaner with a suction of 270 W could be vacuumed for a whole day - all the debris could not be collected, and after that even the nap straightened out. Even with a brush it sticks to the ceiling and hangs securely - you should buy it for the sake of it, just laugh)))

Advantages: Power
Design and build quality
Nothing extra
Standard S-bag
Smooth start

Disadvantages: Buttons like that scary to press down
Fastening the nozzles to the pipe with a spring clip

Comment: Already played enough cyclones and aqua-filters - full empty. Turbo and electrical brushes are also complete crap - vacuuming threads and wool is somewhat better, but cleaning them is easier to throw out. Therefore, I was just looking for a vacuum cleaner with bags and without a squiggle. In general, this brand does not like but took a chance and did not seem to be in vain. Sucks perceptibly stronger than the old electrilex clerios (it’s generally ridiculous to compare with a cyclone). The buttons have the feeling that they are made for pressing with your hands with your foot, but you can see how it turns out in real life. Fixing the nozzles on the pipe with a spring-loaded pin seemed strange - the nozzle as a result has a backlash, and with a simple knockout, there is no luft by definition, but again we will see. It may well be that my claims to the design are flimsy. Vacuuming is great and does not require any maintenance - what you need !!!

Advantages: Power
Design
Great build
Ergonomics

Disadvantages: In this model there is no power adjustment on the handle
Only reusable package included
Price (but cheap cheese ...)

Comment: Recently acquired this miracle! ))) Hmm, I liked absolutely everything (without going into details). The power is such that I wanted to play around - I drank the pipe through the nozzle to the ceiling (without the weight of the vacuum cleaner itself) - the infection hangs))) the brush is very well thought out - really cool to use, the power regulator rubber, the design is nice, the wheels are rubber-tread and the main thing is that everything is like a glove, does not creak, does not crack ...
I would like to compare it with the Samsung 440WT, the cyclone filter + package is a good choice, it’s also there, but it’s loose

Advantages: Workmanship, suction power, handling.

Disadvantages: The price is not for everyone, but the quality is definitely justified. Heavy telescopic tube, no power regulator on the handle (there is a more expensive model), a peculiar smell from cramped wool in the bag with long storage (such is all vacuum cleaners with a bag).

Comment: I chose a vacuum cleaner, based on the experience of using vacuum cleaners of all types: bags, cyclone, aqua filter.
1. Convenience. The bags have a big plus - it does not need to be cleaned after each cleaning! A bag of 4 liters will be enough cleaning for 8 at least, even if there are animals. The garbage in bags is pressed, in difference from models with a cyclone. The place ran out - there is a valve on the bags - I closed it and threw it away. All other dust collectors (flasks, aquafilters) need to be disassembled and cleaned. Not every hostess will like it;) However, this is probably the only minus of the bags: animal hair, which is caked there, begins to smell unpleasant over time. Exit - change bags more often.
2. The degree of purification. I read a lot of tests - the degree of air filtration in all vacuum cleaners is almost the same and depends on the output filter. In this model it is excellent: it is large enough, it fits tightly - there are no cracks, it washes, it changes. Excellent engine filter. Bags better to take textile. Paper can tear, leading to costly repairs.
3. Power - the decisive parameter of the vacuum cleaner - here this model is the leader. No options. From the laminate collects dust and wool from a distance of 10 cm from the place where the brush passes. He pulled out the age-old dirt from the gaps of the old parquet :) We do not absolutely beat the statics.

Advantages: High power of absorption of 500 W defines the main consumer properties of any vacuum cleaner. Cleans perfectly! Power (always!) Is enough, at any load of the bag for dust. The vacuum cleaner is quiet. Large capacity garbage bags. The cost of operation and availability of consumables: bags and filters. 9m long cord, the whole apartment can be removed from a single outlet.

Disadvantages: In my opinion, this is a stream of exhaust air going parallel to the floor. It would be better if the flow was directed vertically upwards. I will explain why. Whatever the degree of filtration of a vacuum cleaner, we do not always control the position of the vacuum cleaner. Imagine that the air flow is directed to the place of accumulation of dust, where the brush did not pass. When the flow upwards it is almost impossible.

Comment: Previously, there was a Roventa 1600W vacuum cleaner (about 300W suction power). He was satisfied with the vacuum cleaner for 10 years and still has moved to the dacha, after minor repairs of the torn power cord, which is 6m long due to the fact that you had to switch to different outlets of the apartment. Began to look for a new vacuum cleaner. Similar in parameters was Bosch. The key parameter of any vacuum cleaner is what it is intended for, the suction power in the aerovat. Next are the parameters of the exhaust of purified air, the cost and ease of operation for whom something is more important. Bosch, of course, the company with the name of the same suction power, higher power e. 2400W motor versus 2200W. In Bosch there is a cyclone filter, the benefits of which are like goat milk, garbage bag 6l. But Bosch has problems finding bags and their price. According to reviews there are complaints about the mechanism of attachment of garbage bags. According to this selected Phillips devoid of all these shortcomings. At the Philips in this model range there are more expensive brothers with advanced functionality control on the handle, which does not add reliability to the unit as a whole. When storing a vacuum cleaner, the handle often falls to the floor with all the ensuing consequences. Therefore, the classic, powerful, reliable, convenient Philips FC 9170 vacuum cleaner won the competition. The telescopic tube does have uncritical backlashes and a heavy brush that does not need to be pressed to the floor like on the old Rovent, you just need to roll on the floor. The shift lever of the advancing rim with bristles is somewhat high, but where the old Roventa with the lower arm could not get there and Phillips does not get for this there are other nozzles. Another option was considered as Dyson.But this vacuum cleaner has a significant drawback: the maximum suction power of 250-290 W (for cyclones is the ceiling) and the price ... The quality of cleaning up this miracle of technology can be seen on YouTube where they compare a vacuum cleaner for $ 100 and a Dyson for a thousand. Dyson lost because its suction power is less ... Why pay more?

Advantages: Powerful. Comfortable brush. Long cord. Does not lose power when filling the bag. I use the year - happy as an elephant)

Disadvantages: didn't find

Comment: They write that it is static electricity. My vacuum cleaner is not observed. I chose a vacuum cleaner probably a month. I asked friends, I got consultants in stores. As a result, bought a philips) Vacuum cleaner on a disposable bag for half a year. Power has not decreased. Opened, looked - and it is full. Put the reusable bag and everything is OK. This is how it is. Parents in the village bought Zanussi c technology cyclone - and spit. Power loses quickly. Constantly need to clean the filters after each carpet. So the most powerful vacuum cleaners are with bags. So I was glad to purchase and operate the philips vacuum cleaner that I had vacuumed for two weeks every day))))

Advantages: Very powerful, just a hurricane and quiet. Convenient Tri-activ nozzle. convenient bag replacement. 9m long cord. Long telescopic tube. Nozzles fasten on the handle, very convenient. The filtering is excellent. besides, he has a stylish look and good color!

Disadvantages: I have not found it yet, I like everything in it, I am 100% satisfied with the purchase. Their money is definitely worth it. Chose a vacuum cleaner for 2 weeks.

Comment: Initially, I considered Miele 4212 & 5211, but after I learned their unforgivable cant - the air leaks under the filter cover due to poor sealing, I forgot about them and I am very happy about it. Philips - I did not think that the vacuum cleaner can suck so powerfully and at the same time be so quiet. The Tri-activ nozzle, when I looked at the store, was somehow skeptical about it, but when I started cleaning, I felt all the delights of this shape and side brushes, all corners and uncomfortable places. switch foot very easily. The remaining tips are of good quality.
The length of the cord grabs my 2-ku 51m away from one outlet. A convenient telescopic tube, which is easily extended and folded, is quite long, there is a slight backlash, but I do not notice it during cleaning. All nozzles on the handle, at hand. Easy to ride, the wheels are rubberized. The optimal length of the hose, it is enough to walk on the upper platband door with a nozzle-brush without lifting the vacuum cleaner. I clean the laminate, tile and a couple of mats. Rugs at full capacity can not be removed - you can not remove from the nozzle :-). I clean at half power or a little more, quite enough. Static discharges do not beat. The bag, which was bundled seemed thin, immediately changed it to a 4-ply Classic bag. I think that with such pressing dust in a bag, it will be enough for me for 3-4 months. A small "vacuum" smell appears after a couple of cleanups, when dust appears in the bag. From this smell, no bags will help, I just have a very good sense of smell, so I feel. I changed the bag after 1 month, was 1/4 full, and the thrust did not decrease. It would be enough for 3, but decided to change, 1 bag of 100 rubles worth of e-bag. As for weight, for me it is normal, but in a big way, I only lift it when I put it in place, so I don’t understand why some people “soar” its weight, it's not 10kg. The size is also normal. It would not hurt to make a rubberized edge on the body and the nozzle.
I hope my review will help someone to make a choice. I recommend a good vacuum cleaner!

Advantages: - power;
- quiet operation;
- long cord (2-room square. from one outlet with kitchen, bathroom, toilet, loggia - approximately 57 sq. m);
- double telescopic tube (no need to bend down);
- very high quality of cleaning;
- a brush of a convenient form;
- bags are everywhere.

Disadvantages: - weight 6.3 kg (heavy and too large dimensions), you cannot hold for long in one hand;
- although you cannot move the double telescopic tube with one hand on the floor (very hard, even impossible);
- not very manoeuvrable, certainly better than old vacuum cleaners, but still ...
- power is good, but brute force - I will note that max power has never been established, because no need (just above the middle), otherwise the carpet, linoleum will come off, the carpet will not be torn off the pipe, you will not be torn off from the floor if there is laminate on it, until you turn off the tiles))
- the pipe with a brush (in standby mode) is poorly fixed on the body, dangling (sticking as it is necessary, not worried).

Comment: In general, the vacuum cleaner is good, the cat's hair cleans up perfectly, sucks through the door mat on which the cat sleeps)) (there are no more carpets). Well removes wool, etc. with upholstered furniture, rugs. The main thing is that all the dust remains inside the vacuum cleaner (the cleaning allergy disappeared), there is no rubbish left on the floor! It works so quietly that I can talk to the floor when I’ve cleaned up with those who are in the room. It’s not beaten with electricity)) It’s a pity that the brush is not rubberized - after the first cleaning it was scratched, the furniture can spoil, you have to drive neatly. I think it is not suitable for small apartments - cumbersome

Advantages: Infernal suction power. Bags for dust (I will never buy a cyclone vacuum cleaner again, cleaning the tank is not a pleasant occupation). There is no "vacuum" smell in the outgoing air. Easy to ride. Reliable telescopic tube.

Disadvantages: Not seen.
