Philips produces quite decent household equipment, from the point of view of user preferences.Actually, technically and technologically, Dutch-made household appliances are also in good standing with consumers.

Take the same Philips washing vacuum cleaners, presented in a wide range on the commercial market. In this case, potential owners of harvesting equipment will have to consider a number of interesting models.

What features does the brand's best washing equipment have? We will try to find out about this from the TOP-9 rating.

Rating of the best washing vacuum cleaners of the brand

According to various sources of information, including online markets and user reviews, the rating of Philips brand cleaning equipment, namely models with a washing function, is compiled as follows:

• FC8794 SmartPro Easy;
• FC6404 Power Pro Aqua;
• FC6728 SpeedPro Aqua;
• FC7088 AquaTrio Pro;
• FC8796 SmartPro Easy;
• FC7080 AquaTrio Pro;
• FC6408;
• FC6409;
• FC6405 PowerPro Aqua.

Let's consider each model separately, in order to thereby have a better idea of ​​​​the deserved rating, as well as in terms of greater knowledge in case of a possible purchase.

Place #1 - Philips FC8794 SmartPro Easy

The development, which received the prefix in its full working name Easy, earned 4.5 points out of a possible five in the commercial sector. At the same time, owners of such equipment from Philips also speak more positively about the vacuum cleaner.

An interesting fact is that this model represents a robotic car. The innovative robot vacuum cleaner created by Philips supports dry and wet cleaning modes. The design is equipped with a cyclone filtration system and weighs only 2 kg.

The market value of the device is on average about 12 thousand rubles. and for this money the potential user gets 4 operating modes.

The peculiarity of this robot vacuum cleaner is its long operating time - up to 105 minutes, which seems to be a clear advantage compared to other similar designs.

Meanwhile, even the best model in the form of a robot vacuum cleaner has shortcomings that, apparently, did not allow it to reach 0.5 points for the full rating.

Among the obvious shortcomings:

• skipping corner zones in cleaning mode;
• a long search for a base in case parking is needed;
• There are no specific cleaning algorithms;
• often gets stuck on various everyday obstacles.

By and large, the price is 15 thousand rubles. allows us to be skeptical about the noted defects, given the average prices of robotic vacuum cleaners in general. However, the “best” model probably requires flawless execution.

Place #2 - Philips FC6404 Power Pro Aqua

Also a kind of innovative product, it represents a vertical washing vacuum cleaner from the Philips brand with manual control. The FC6404 Power Pro Aqua model falls just short of the 5-star rating and is actually on the same level as the previous design from the Philips brand.

The design of the FC6404 Power Pro Aqua looks impeccable.Complete harmony with the environment and wireless power supply are the attractive factors that brought the model to second place.

The household cleaning system supports dry and wet cleaning modes. There is functionality for collecting liquids from surfaces. The design of the FC6404 Power Pro Aqua vacuum cleaner is based on cyclone air filtration technology. It makes quite a loud noise (83 dB).

Similar to robotic development, the manual vertical apparatus operates from a battery power source. The battery life is no more than 40 minutes.

It takes up to 5 hours to charge the battery. The weight of the equipment is 3.2 kg, which is quite acceptable for female labor.

If the vacuum cleaner is used as a cleaning machine, the instructions suggest connecting an additional water container weighing 0.2 liters. Can be used in washing mode detergents. The average cost of a car on the market is 22 thousand rubles.

Despite the technologically advanced design, there are still plenty of disadvantages in this case.

In particular, the following disadvantages are relevant for the Philips FC6404 Power Pro Aqua:

• rapid battery discharge;
• One battery charge is not enough for large areas;
• the power level leaves much to be desired;
• Cleans wool and hair poorly.

Some users believe that 22 thousand rubles is too “cool” for such a car, despite the high rating score.

Place #3 - Philips FC6728 SpeedPro Aqua

One of the new products from Philips is a vertical vacuum cleaner with dry and wet cleaning capabilities. To effectively collect dirt, a universal nozzle is provided, ensuring that debris is captured even in hard-to-reach places.

An important addition is the presence of lighting on the nozzle SpeedPro. This innovation will allow you to see and remove dust in the corners. The dust collector in the model is located at the top of the case, so it does not interfere with cleaning even under low furniture.

To clean the floor from stubborn dirt, just use the AquaBoost, and to remove dust from shelves, curtain rods or ceilings, you can use a handheld unit with a crevice tool. The motor provides stable suction power PowerBlade and technology PowerCyclone 7.

The model has recently appeared on the market, so there are still few user reviews about it. However, those buyers who chose this particular unit are absolutely satisfied with the purchase. Users say the FC6728 is compact, maneuverable, lightweight, attractive, and efficient. The disadvantage of the model is its high cost.

Place #4 - Philips FC7088 AquaTrio Pro

The next position in the ranking, with some stretch, was taken by the FC7088 AquaTrio Pro design. Technologically, the vacuum cleaner is also a vertical manual cleaning machine.

The power consumption of the device is marked at 500 W. It should be noted that this is an economically attractive factor, given that the machine is powered from a household network.

This model FC7088 is from a series of devices AquaTrio Pro looks like an alien instrument. The architecture is truly impressive, but the cost does not go unnoticed.

There are two harvesting modes - dry or wet. Cyclone-type filter system, complemented by a waste container with a capacity of 0.65 liters. There is an indicator showing the level of filling of the container with garbage.

Considering the permissible working length of the power cable is 8 meters, the cleaning radius is up to 10 meters.

This model from Philips is quite heavy - the operating weight is about 7 kg.For cleaning in the washing mode, the use of an additional container is provided. The water filled into the container can be mixed with almost any type of detergent.

In terms of all technical and technological features, this model has adequately taken its position in the rating.

Other disadvantages of this model include:

• rapid failure of brush attachments;
• the power cord creates some inconvenience during operation;
• The quality of cleaning directly depends on the type of surface.

A short generalized verdict - a very delicate and expensive design, often forcing owners to actually sue the Philips company.

Place #5 - Philips FC8796 SmartPro Easy

A beautiful, compact robot vacuum cleaner. The model is very similar in appearance and functionality to the rating leader FC8794. For orientation in space, 23 sensors are installed on board the unit, battery life is 115 minutes, and a full charge will require 240 minutes.

The FC8796 robot performs three-stage cleaning:

• side brushes help remove debris from baseboards and corners of the room;
• due to its good suction ability, the vacuum cleaner draws dry dirt into the dust collector;
• A microfiber cloth wipes the floor, providing wet cleaning of the room.

The unit is equipped UltraHygiene EPA12 – the filter retains up to 99.5% of dust, eliminating its return into the air.

The robot implements intelligent technology Smart Detection 2 – the device analyzes the situation and selects the optimal cleaning mode. When the charge level drops, the device automatically returns to the base. The vacuum cleaner operates in 4 modes, and it is possible to schedule cleaning 24 hours in advance.

A large number of reviews for the model indicate its popularity.Among the advantages, buyers note: quiet operation, thin body, ease of maintenance, and cleaning efficiency.

Identified deficiencies:

• no movement limiter – virtual wall;
• Difficulty driving onto high-pile carpet;
• the device does not build a map of the room;
• questionable quality of floor cleaning over a large area;
• hits corners;
• sometimes it takes a long time to find a base.

Overall, the model is worth the money. The robotic unit is more of an addition to the main vacuum cleaner for cleaning up the everyday chores. This device is more suitable for compact rooms without carpets.

Place #6 - Philips FC7080 AquaTrio Pro

The cleaning machine from Philips, modified FC7080 AquaTrio Pro, is a modern, quite effective tool for the household, which rightfully deserves fifth place.

The vacuum cleaner operates in any of two modes: dry/wet. Design – manual vertical. The power source is a household network, where the device is connected via a cord 7 meters long.

The design operates on the principle of cyclonic separation with additional fine filtration.

The monitoring and control system is actually the same type - manual manipulation of the machine, a garbage bin full indicator, an indicator of the water level in the additional tank.

Wet cleaning conditions require the use of a water tank (0.65 l capacity), where detergents can be added. When operating, the vacuum cleaner consumes about 500 W of energy. The weight of the device is 6.7 kg.

What users see as disadvantages:

• heavy construction;
• The power cable is a bit short;
• The reliability of the attachments leaves much to be desired.

According to many owners, the price of a harvesting machine does not correspond to its technical and technological capabilities.For that kind of money it’s easier to buy a couple of standard vacuum cleaners. However, the FC7080 AquaTrio Pro model holds almost four rating stars quite confidently.

Place #7 - Philips FC6408

The cost of this model forced potential buyers (not businessmen) to place it 7th in the TOP-9 ranking of Philips vacuum cleaners.

However, the high price of the device is due to the use of battery power. In one case of everyday practice it is quite convenient, in another it is extremely undesirable.

Compactness, mobility, light weight are the criteria of modern cleaning equipment that users demand. The Philips FC6408 provides all of the above in this regard, including wireless power.

Nevertheless, the machine takes its rightful place among structures for wet (and dry) cleaning. The vertical manual model provides more than just cleaning with water. The design of the vacuum cleaner allows you to remove water spilled on the floor or other surfaces.

The battery energy is enough to operate the vacuum cleaner for 40 minutes. Provided the battery is completely discharged, the recharging time is at least 5 hours. A container (0.6 l) with a cyclone separation system is used as a waste collector. The cyclone separator is complemented by a fine filter.

Like most similar designs, the Philips FC6408 is quite noisy (83 dB). True, a strong noise level is observed only at full power. A separate container is used for wet cleaning.

Among other things, this model is attractive for its light weight - 3.6 kg and compact design.

But there are also distracting negative aspects:

• high noise level;
• weak suction power;
• limiting operating time by battery potential;
• it takes a lot of time to charge the battery;
• the price is clearly overpriced.

Meanwhile, despite a solid list of disadvantages, sixth place in the ranking remains with this universal assistant.

Place #8 - Philips FC6409

The vertical-hand design of the Philips FC6409 continues the rated range of vacuum cleaners that, along with dry cleaning, offer the user a washing option. The price of this bagless compact device is 25 thousand rubles. The equipment operates from an autonomous power source – a battery.

Vertical compact vacuum cleaner designs are quickly gaining popularity among property owners. The Philips FC6409 cleaning tool is designed specifically to complete the modern home.

This development is distinguished by a slightly increased weight (4.7 kg), which is not typical for Philips cordless vacuum cleaners. Apparently, to some extent, for this reason, the FC6409 cleaning machine ended up in seventh place in the ranking.

However, the battery life in this version has been increased to 60 minutes. Like its superior models of a similar design, the Philips FC6409 copes with cleaning water on surfaces without any problems. At the same time, the machine also supports the full cycle of wet cleaning of residential premises.

Processing of collected waste is carried out using cyclone separation and a fine filter.

In principle, a fairly convenient modern vacuum cleaner, also of a cordless type, but not without some disadvantages in operation:

• noisy operation at full power;
• the need to periodically charge the battery;
• relatively high cleaning efficiency.

Some owners have the impression that the manufacturer is relying on architectural innovation. However, the mass user usually needs the effect of the work first.And only then – design. It is not surprising that this model takes eighth place in the rating.

Place #9 - Philips FC6405 PowerPro Aqua

The cordless cordless vacuum cleaner model FC6405 PowerPro Aqua is in the top ten cleaning devices from Philips. This is no coincidence, since appearance alone provokes a person to buy.

This is again a battery-powered model with a wireless configuration. The absence of cables underfoot appeals to many owners of Philips equipment. The vacuum cleaner, costing 27 thousand rubles, is equipped with a turbo brush from the TriActive series, fiber and a crevice nozzle.

The garbage collector is used traditionally for vertical hand-held vacuum cleaners - the cyclone type. The volume of the collection is 0.6 liters.

The duration of action is limited in time to 40 minutes. At the same time, in full power mode, the operating time is reduced by almost half of the stated 40 minutes.

However, the FC6405 PowerPro Aqua made it onto the list of the best Philips vacuum cleaners, which is most likely due to its innovative design design, as with other similar vacuum cleaners.

However, factors of convenient work with a vertical wireless design also played a role in the struggle for the client.

The device is somewhat noisy - this parameter is 83 dB. It takes up to 5 hours to restore the battery charge.

One of the advantages of the technology is its low weight and compact design. These criteria also determined the FC6405 PowerPro Aqua vacuum cleaner in terms of its promotion to the ranks of the best models.

The list of shortcomings, however, increases as the equipment is used. Initially, the following disadvantages are noted: increased noise, especially when operating at full power, frequent battery charging, high cost.

It is worth noting that Philips has a whole series of vacuum cleaner models that are designed for dry cleaning. The rating of the best offers is presented in this material.

Features of choosing a washing vacuum cleaner

A kind of postscript to the rating is general information regarding the features of choosing a washing vacuum cleaner. It is clear that the design differs from traditional “dry” vacuum cleaners, and therefore the approach to selection is somewhat different.

Tip #1 - container system

For example, a system of work containers deserves the attention of a potential user. Washing cleaning equipment, unlike “dry” cleaning equipment, is equipped with two working containers, one of which is designed specifically for the washing mode.

Here, the peculiarity of the choice is the design of the container system. The preferred option based on practice is the “two in one” system, when both working containers form a single structure.

A box with a Philips vacuum cleaner always hides cleaning equipment inside, which has certain features. Knowledge of the features helps you choose the optimal model for your business needs.

Tip #2 - capacity volume

Also an important feature of the choice should be the volume of the container for the washing mode. The larger the capacity of such a vessel, the larger the cleaning area the vacuum cleaner covers in one cleaning cycle.

So, to clean (wash) the area of ​​a standard two-room apartment, a washing container volume of 2-3 liters is required.

A classic of the genre, still highly popular among consumers. An inexpensive and effective home cleaning device, unfortunately, is no longer in the manufacturer’s circle of interests, but still serves its owners well

Tip #3 - other important criteria

The remaining technical criteria - suction power (not consumed!), air filtration system, set of working attachments - actually correspond to the choice of traditional “dry” vacuum cleaners.

Robotic cleaning equipment is becoming more preferable to users than traditional vacuum cleaners. First place in the ranking of Philips brand washing models is a clear example

Suction power - at least 300 W, preferably cyclonic separation, working nozzles - the greater the variety, the more effective the cleaning.

When choosing washing equipment, it is important to take into account the characteristics of your home - if there are a lot of carpets in the house, then you cannot do without a special brush for cleaning and washing them. Therefore, an important criterion will be not only ease of use, but also high efficiency in cleaning carpets.
