So far so good
Nearly bought a different brands because the salesman of the store strongly recommended. So glad my partner stuck with Philips. First thing I did was vacuum the mattress and I can see how much dusts I was sleeping on before! Ewww! It also picks up everything on the floor. Very happy with it so far. Hopefully is not too hard to find the filters.

Great Vacuum cleaner...!!
I bought Philips PowerPro vacuum a month back and am very impressed with the performance. It has great suction and pull in large pieces of paper and tiny bits of dust and pet hair at the same time. It has a large cord which makes it convenient to vacuum a big room.
This is a great product for a reasonable cost from Philips. I bought it for $140 from Godfreys .

Love this vacuum
It's lightweight, has good suction and is easy to empty. I purchased it based on good reviews and I'm glad I did and found it on sale for $99 so that was a bonus.

Great little vacuum
Bought today on a whim as I was getting tired of dragging around my large cyclonic vacuum. Have new thick wool carpets which shed like crazy. The Philips was so easy to operate and picked up all the wool balls whereas my old one just glided over them making the job take twice as long. Feels like a quality machine for the price and so far I'm very happy with it.

A steal
I purchased this vacumn for 119. I'm so happy my old one broke. This machine is brilliant. Its quiet, with a long cord and long handle so no need to stoop. I had my house vacumned including the Turkish rug in ten minutes. With my old cheap vacumn cleaner the rug alone took ten minutes. I almost didn't buy this as it was cheap priced but I trusted the brand and the design looked sturdy so I grabbed it. Soooo glad! Now provided it doesn't pack up on me, I've found my winner,highly recommend.

Ok...But how long will it last?
So I bought this vacuum cleaner a little while ago and so far have had no issues with its operation. However, the instructions (as far as I can tell) recommend replacing the filter every 24 months. Yet, nowhere in Australia seems to sell the required filters and the website is useless as far as vacuum cleaners + Australia go. So I'm a little concerned as to whether the product is meant to last beyond the 24 month mark, or if it is meant become obsolescent prior to this date, thus rendering replacement filters unnecessary.

Great I love it
I purchased the Philips PowerPro Compact Parquet, it was on sale and cost $100. I love it I have all hardwood floors and they are a pain to keep looking nice. They look great but get very dusty quickly. This vacuum cleaner comes with it's own head to do hard wood or floating timber floors.You also get a head for carpet, a long 6 miter cord, on board attachment holder and it is light to use. I had to pay $40 to buy a head for parquet floor to fit my old vacuum cleaner, then the expensive of bags and no more buying bags they are $13.95 for 5. I love this vacuum cleaner and it comes with a two year warranty as well and a bargain.
Light, long cord, on board tools and hard wood floor head.

Excellent product and yet affordable
Great suction, small size, light weight, easy to clean..... after having tried a lot of vaccums and being disappointed with most of them, I recently tried the Philips PowerPro and I strongly recommend it. I bought it at target for 99$ and it s worth the price, It s affordable and far better than the vaccum around the 50/70$dollars range.
Efficient and easy to use

Powerful Suction! Very good overall.
I bought the vacumm when it was on sale in Target for $80. Great suction! Very Powerful. Pick up dirt, dust very easy and well. Sometime its too powerful that the metal grip falls of when vacumming. I like the HEPA filter! But the rolling wheels on the tube was a bit noisy.
Powerful suction. Very clean floor
The wheels are a bit squeaking when vacumming

May I suggest a little silicon on the wheels? I had a similar issue with mine and this solved the issue for me

Small vaccum cleaner with excellent perfomance
Initially thought of buying a Dyson DC26, but saw this in Target on sale for $99. Trusting the brand name and Target's money back guarantee, decided to give it a try. I was quite surprised by its performance. The suction was good on both carpet and timber floors. Comes with basic accessories sufficient to do the job. Price doesn't justify the quality of this product.
Impressive suction, light weight, easy to clean

This vacuum cleaner has a HEPA filter but not sure if it is completely sealed, when I use the vacuum I still smell some dust escaping.
Thanks
