Philips PowerPro Active FC8631/71

Great suction power! – This vacuum cleaner is quite powerful, and even after using it for some time, it still has the approx. the same power. The only downside is, it is very hard to find the filters and other parts of this vacuum cleaner. I would strongly suggest to buy some extra filters whenever you purchase any of the Phillips vacuum cleaners.  Show details ·  1

Good little vacuum – Suction is maintained over a variety of different surfaces and the attachments are diverse enough that it suits all my needs; pet hair, couch, tile floor... Relatively easy to maneuver around. Really like that it is bagless, to reduce waste and eliminate a constant cost. The only complaint I have it the cord wind up seems to be getting slower and… Read more

slower every time I use it and I feel like it is going to break and I will not be able to wind up the cord any longer. Which doesn't make it function any worse but does mean that storage is a much bigger hassle.

powerful baby – very happy with this little machine, quite surprise with his ability. clean job well done. the wire longer enough for move around, only issue I had so far is have to clean the filters after use otherwise he will not suck well. for a 300 m2 house with carpet for all bedrooms and study, he perform well.  Show details ·  1

Works Well – My family purchased this unit last year while our Dyson upright vacuum cleaner was in for its 4th repair. The price was extremely reasonable. Not having to purchase replacement dust bags is a bonus. The unit's suction is good; so much so that the filters need to be cleaned often, or the unit loses suction. This is annoying at times, however at… Read more ·  2

least the machine is doing what it is supposed to be doing! The unit is easy to move around. The suction noise level is not what I would call quiet, but probably no noisier than similar machines. We only have two rooms with carpet, so the unit is not used extensively each week. It will be interesting to see how reliable the unit is sometime in the future, after more use. However, for the cost I can buy five of these units to one of the Dyson machines.

Works well but short life – This model is now discontinued but I would consider the successor model similar. The vacuum cleaner was easy to handle and had good suction. Did well on our hard tiled floor and also carpets. Filters are difficult to find. Target no longer stock them. After 2 years the telescopic shaft wore out so had to use gaffa to hold it in place.

2 years & 7 months it just died. Not worth getting it repaired.

I would have expected it to last longer but maybe they're

designed to fail after not too long.

They should write on the packaging that this unit is expected to last 2-3 years but of course they wouldn't

do that.

Value for money – Didn't want to spend as much as a dyson not everyone has $600 or too little that It was rubbish & a waste of time. I was going to buy the Russell Hobbs cyclonic from target for $179 as it's a trusted brand & I have other appliances that are good but it had horrible reviews I seen that the phillips ranged from $149-199 with pretty good reviews so… Read more ·  1

brought one it's fantastic for the price Great suction that can be adjusted I had to turn it down as I was really strong it's light weight easy to move & hassel free cleaning with simple pop of a button to remove bagless compartment to empty I also was a fan of the extra long 9 M lenghth cord & stylish simple design a lot of vacs are so ugly people compare cheaper vacs to Dyson which is ridiculous if you spend $600 of course it's going to be better than a $200 vac you get what you pay for.. That being said this vac does the job and is better than I expected would definitely buy again great value for money
