Editorial note

The Philips Performer Ultimate FC8957 is a vacuum cleaner that stands out for its high suction power of 220 AW, ensuring deep cleaning on various types of floors. This performance is enhanced by an ergonomic design, including an automatic cord winder for easy storage and appreciated maneuverability thanks to its weight of 6200 g and plastic wheels.

Finally, the need to frequently empty the dust bag can be a disadvantage for intensive use, and the additional cost of replacement bags could diminish the long-term value of the device.
