Philips PerformerPro Vacuum Cleaner with Bag FC9197/91

There are no major weaknesses to report with this vacuum cleaner, but it is not the best choice on hard floors, especially since the motor protection filter, which is difficult to access, also earns criticism. Nevertheless, the suction power is great, the handling is good and the excellent dust retention capacity must also be mentioned.

Cleans well on carpet, weakens a little on smooth hard floor, very good on floorboards with cracks. Is difficult to push on carpet at full power. Vacuums very quietly on carpet. Picks up fibres from carpets and upholstery well. Very good dust retention, with Hepa exhaust filter. Has several small nozzles in combination. The motor protection filter is difficult to access.

The test winner was able to convince with its performance especially on hard floors and did almost everything right. On carpets, it delivered the best result, but was not completely convincing and left some traces of dirt. The replacement of the nozzles is also not particularly convenient, although the high energy efficiency and low power consumption scored points.
