Sorry it's in English but I figured it would be more detailed and therefore useful than what I could currently write in Dutch...
I bought this because my old AEG vacuum died yesterday after a good 14 years. I decided on a bagless one so I don't have to fiddle about finding new bags and put up with less suction when the bag starts to fill up. Previous reviews were very helpful in guiding me to this choice and I am not disappointed!
The first thing I noticed is that I no longer had to stoop to use the product as the pole is nice and long. Big plus for anyone with a bad back. I tried it out downstairs while my two children were sleeping upstairs, and they didn't cry so it seems to be quiet enough for me. From reading the product information I had expected it to be a lot louder than it was, but I was pleasantly surprised. Definitely quieter than my old one.
Next, it got under my furniture much better, and the brushes on the corner of the tri/combi brush head got all the dust off the skirting boards without scratches. The only minor downside is having to store all the brush heads it comes with. I am not sure I will ever use them as the combi one seems more than fine for mostly hard floors and the odd rug.
I liked the way the handle has little brushes on meaning when you take the pole off to do the sofa or cushions it gets the toast crumbs off without sucking up the whole cushion. Great for my daughter's bean bag too. There is also a little slide opening to reduce the suction a bit for rugs and soft furnishings.
It was not the lightest one I could have bought but I certainly don't find it heavy. Not a problem for me and it wheels along nicely.
Nice one Philips, I think you have put some thought into this and come up with a quality product as usual.
