Its 3 L dust capacity allows for prolonged use without the need for frequent emptying, which is particularly appreciated in large spaces. Additionally, the efficient filtration system helps maintain a healthy environment by eliminating unwanted particles. However, this vacuum cleaner has some drawbacks. The noise level of 77 dB can be disturbing for some users, especially in quiet environments. Furthermore, although the weight of 4,300 g is relatively light, it may be less easy to carry for some people, particularly when going up stairs.

The value for money is fair, especially considering the reputation of the Philips brand.
