Editorial note

The Philips PowerPro Compact FC8478 is a vacuum cleaner that stands out for its suction power of 23 kPa, ensuring effective cleaning on various types of surfaces. Its EPA 10 filtration system also helps purify the air by removing unwanted particles, making it an excellent choice for those looking to maintain a healthy indoor environment. Additionally, its compact and lightweight design makes storage easy, which is ideal for small spaces. However, some drawbacks may affect the user experience. The noise level of 83 dB may be considered too high, especially in quiet environments. Furthermore, while the weight of 4500 g is a sign of sturdiness, it may be seen as heavy by some users, making transport and handling more difficult. The dust capacity of 1.5 L, although acceptable, could require frequent emptying during intensive cleaning, especially in homes with pets. Another aspect to consider is the lack of wireless functionality, which limits mobility and may make use less flexible in larger spaces. Finally, the fixed tube may restrict access to certain hard-to-reach areas, complicating cleaning in those zones. Overall, the Philips PowerPro Compact FC8478 offers good value for money due to its suction performance and filtration capacity, but users should be aware of its limitations in terms of weight and mobility.
