Pros and cons

According to our robot vacuum expert

Thanks to the extra long side brushes, the robot vacuum can also get into the corners.
When the battery is drained, the robot will automatically return to the charging dock to recharge.
With a noise level of 58dB, the robot vacuum is relatively silent.
Thanks to the round shape, the brushes don't reach completely into the corners.
Doesn't have a rotating brush, so pet hairs and large dust clouds can get stuck.

Description

The Philips SmartPro Compact FC8715/01 vacuum is a very flat robot vacuum measuring only 6 centimeters high, which thoroughly cleans floors, even below low furniture. The vacuum has a 2-step cleaning system to extract dust and dirt and 4 cleaning modes for different areas. Uneven floors are no problem thanks to the contour-following nozzle and the robot detects the dirtiest areas on its own. It has a run time of 130 minutes and automatically returns to its base station when it's done its job. Do you already know that you won't be home tomorrow? Simply program the vacuum with the planning function.

Good device

Vacuum without getting tired
Low, fits under most furniture pieces
Good addition to normal vacuum cleaner
fragile brushes

I'd rather be lazy than tired, and I thought a robot vacuum cleaner was a nice experiment. This Philips is a nice starting model to enter this world because of the relatively friendly price for an A-brand vacuum cleaner. Normally, the problem with reviews is that they are usually written fairly quickly after purchase, and the life cycle of models is usually so short that you can't use them to predict usage over a longer period of time. However, I saw that this Philips is still for sale, so after about two years of use it seemed time for a review. I'll first outline how we use the vacuum cleaner below, and then give some observations of things we've come across over time.

We use the vacuum cleaner on the ground floor of our house, where we have a tiled floor over the entire floor. We usually turn it on when we go to work in the morning, so it is used about 4 to 5 days a week. It is a bit noisy to use when you are in the room yourself, but you can also switch it on when you go to bed, for example. It also does its job well in the dark. :-) We have no pets or children in the house.

After more than two years of use, we see that:

The device still works fine. The battery life is still good, it still works as well as 2 years ago.
It is important to clean the vacuum cleaner sometimes with a 'real' vacuum cleaner and a duster, to ensure that everything continues to run smoothly, and that it does not spread dust instead of cleaning it up. For example, the wheels can become slippery if they are too dusty, and then he steers less well.
The brushes on the front are a bit fragile. After 2 years of use, the bristles begin to tangle. You can buy replacement brushes from Philips for ~20 euros (Type number CP0107). Philips recommends replacing them every 6 months in their own webshop, but that may be too often.
It is very low and can therefore clean well under different furniture. He just doesn't notice when he can't get under something, and sometimes gets stuck. This is especially true for furniture that can accommodate most of the vacuum cleaner, but not the protruding round button at the top, furniture where there is between 5 and 6 cm of space between the bottom and floor.
He doesn't get along well with our short-pile rug, and regularly gets stuck on a corner of it; but according to the description it is also intended for hard floors, so that is more a reproach on us than on this device.
Be careful with loose cords, shoelaces, etc. on the floor, he can also get stuck on them.

In other words, after more than two years we are still satisfied, and we even become a bit attached to our loyal roommate.
