I have tried every avenue to get a replacement kit for this vacuum and to no avail. I even contacted Philips directly and they sent me to a place 1000 km away that has the part. With postage, the part cost almost half the price of the vacuum! The ridiculous thing was that the part is the filter which Philips recommends is to be replaced every 12 months. Buy a Philips product if you like hassles.

After trying quite a few bagless vacuum cleaners & continuing to buy bags for my old favourite, I decided to buy the Philips PowerPro Active 2000w, purchased at Target on-line. What a great decision. Small, compact but not flimsy but the suction, wow, sometimes I have turn it down it has so much power. Works well on all surfaces.
I did purchase an upholstery brush separately as it doesn't come with one unfortunately.
I highly recommend this unit & I have tried lots!!!

After other brands and models have let us down over the years, this model is a welcome change.
Powerful suction, collects heaps of dust/dirt easy to empty - and operates quietly !

I used this vacuum once and it was ok but not great. Lost suction after using it once and the head of the vacuum just pushes the dirt around instead of sucking it up. I find that I have to leave the machine on full power as it has three floor settings and I still need to disconnect the head and use the hose to pick up fluff, crumbs and other things on the carpet.

I used a Dyson after using the Phillips and it just worked like a vacuum should. Was very disappointed as I thought that Dyson can't be the only company to make excellent vacuum cleaners.

Would not recommend this product to anyone. Save your money and buy a Dyson. As there is no way the Philips would last as long as a Dyson.

Bought this Philips vacuum after the superseded model failed after 3-months.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.

This vacuum cleaner is really powerful and easy to clean. I had a standard vacuum cleaner with bag before. Was shocked as I cleaned with my new one as it cleaned much better.... And I thought it was clean before... After a few months I am still happy with it. I bought it in Target for less than 200 AUD.
the power
nothing wrong so far

I think the suction on this machine is pretty average, especially for cat hiar. I would rather have spent more money and got a Dyson that has super-powered suction. The good thing about this machine is that it's easy to use. It is small/compact and it comes with a washable filter.
Good washable filter
Poor suction

Which what a vacuum cleaner is supposed to do. Simply the best vacuum cleaner I have ever owned. The only thing I regret about buying this vacuum is all the other cheap and nasty vacuum cleaners I have previously owned. It is well designed, well built, easy to clean and easy to use. I enjoy using it - and I hate vacuuming.
Great suction, good length of lead, easy to clean, tracks well and makes little noise
Nothing at all

I bought this vacuum cleaner after reading many positive reviews on its ability to pick up pet hair, but found that most of the time it would just push it around and get stuck on the head. If this vacuum came with a power head, or at least a turbo head, I am sure it would do better, but as I bought it on special I'm not overly disappointed. Another small gripe I had was if you are not careful while disconnecting the canister it has a tendency to dump a handful of dust out of the hole which the hose connects to. Apart from this, the good points are that it has strong suction for the whole width of the head, the power cord is generously long (9m), and it is fairly light weight with an aluminium main hose.

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.
