Philips PowerPro FC8470/01

Have been using for 2 years and still very good conditions.

However, if you don’t clean the filter ( empty the container and wash the sponge) power decreases significantly, but you can not wash the hepa filter ( we washed the filter and smells bad now)

So We bought a new hepa filter at eBay about 10 dollar, so I think we can keep using for next several years.

Works ok, not the best nor the worst vacuum I've ever had. I have two cats so not sure how will cope with hair long term but for now it does the job and works well. I like the bagless so is easy to empty and does work/suck better when completely empty so I empty it each time which is a bit annoying but manageable

I have owned it for over 6 months,Great suction ( with 2000w only use 3/4 power on the variable knob), great 4 way filter system, easy to empty and reassemble, great price. The only drawback is the head could have wheels to help it glide on carpet but it's the best value for money I have found. I would have even paid more if it came with a roller glide head. I bought a Russell Hobbs before this one and it lasted 3 months before the suction died and the hose split.
