Not happy Philips. I would have expected it to last a long longer than it did. It had little use as only a professional couple in a brand new house. I have regularly cleaned out the barrel and filter and to look at it, it looks brand new. Today it started making a flapping sound upon turning it on and producing a strong electrical burning smell.

For its price, I’ve been very happy with this unit. However, I only have three small rooms with carpet and a couple of mats so its not being heavily used or tested. After 10 months of use, still good suction. Whilst a bit annoying to clean, I would still choose a bagless machine if I had my time over to keep expenses down and minimise environmental impact.

has it for more than a year, i am very satisfied, it always give powerful suction. it also has several head for diferent purposes. i never had any problem. the only negative is the body is a bit bulky, so a bit hard to move freely, especially in small space.

The vacuum clogs up after about 250ml of dirt in the canister and emptying it creates a big mess as you have to tip the dust into a bag/bin as opposed to a release-latch like in many Electrolux vacuums. The filter requires cleaning after each session and using it just becomes a (larger and more tiresome) chore. After a year of use (roughly 52 sessions), the suction is so bad, you'd get more vigor out of a dead donkey unless you set it to maximum. Even then, it struggles to pick up a feather and forces you to contend with the hazardous levels of noise that it seemingly has plenty of.

I'm hoping to ditch this machine off to some poor unsuspecting sod.

Tried to get a filter kit fro Target and Southside Electronics. Both say they are waiting on an order to come in. Why can't I get it from Godfreys where I bought it or from Philips?? This is most unacceptable, Without a good filter system the vacuum just does not perform properly.

Bought this Philips vacuum after the superseded model failed after 3-months. We only have a small apartment with minimal dust and no pets. The rubber seal within the plastic canister broke after one use and the vacuum lost its suction. It is very disappointing and we won't be buying a Philips vacuum cleaner again.

I have the PowerPro Active with Parquet model. Impressive product and definitely is the bang of the buck. The build quality is above average. It's small, lightweight and yet with a huge suction power with 4 levels to adjust. It does suck up the carpet while you put it over half the power! It's bagless too and come with HEPA filter that is allergy friendly. And it also comes with 2 years warranty.
