Overview of the Philips FC 9174 vacuum cleaner: Grand Prix in the nomination "people's favorite"

Main competitor vacuum cleaners

Philips FC 9174 has competitors manufactured by other household appliance manufacturers. These vacuum cleaners also have their pros and cons. Let us consider in more detail the characteristics of the most interesting of them.

Model #1 - Samsung SC21F60JD

The competitor wins in price by a couple of thousand rubles. In addition, it has great suction power.Samsung SC21F60JD comes with a dust bag, but its volume is smaller than that of a competitor. But the weight is almost 2.5 kg more, which is a significant drawback if a woman chooses a vacuum cleaner.

Main characteristics:

• power consumption / suction - 2100W / 530W;
• type of dust collector / capacity - bag / 3.5 l;
• telescope pipe / flexible hose - yes / yes;
• soft pad for protection in case of collisions - yes;
• number of nozzles / turbo brush - 4 pcs / is;
• dimensions / weight - 335x485x305 mm / 8.8 kg.

The package is the same as the competitor. It is possible to control the traction on the handle. Also, the owners of this model are pleased with the large suction power and the convenience of replacing bags.

As for the minuses, here Samsung is inferior to its rival Philips brand - users complain that it often shocks when accidentally touching the case.

It was also noticed that the telescope tube dangles, and the power cord is too thick and stiff. Another disadvantage is that this vacuum cleaner is not maneuverable and constantly tries to roll over, which is extremely distracting when cleaning.

The range of the famous South Korean concern includes popular robotic “cleaners” and actively demanded vacuum cleaners with a container. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the systematized selection presented by us.

Model #2 - Electrolux ZPF 2220

The second competitor is the Electrolux ZPF 2220. Its price tag is the same, but it comes with a richer assortment of nozzles and more bags to boot. However, the thrust is lower, and the manufacturer does not indicate its exact parameter. According to some owners, this parameter corresponds to 375-400 watts.

Main characteristics:

• power consumption / suction - 2200W / manufacturer does not indicate;
• type of dust collector / capacity - bag / 3.5 l;
• telescope pipe / flexible hose - yes / yes;
• soft pad for protection during collisions - not specified;
• number of nozzles / turbo brush - 5 pcs / is;
• dimensions / weight - 438x293x238 mm / 6.48 kg.

The set of accessories for this vacuum cleaner is richer - an additional nozzle for cleaning parquet and laminate is attached here. Among the minuses, the owners noticed that when cleaning at maximum power, the power cord heats up quickly and quite strongly.

Electrolux produces not only traditional vacuum cleaners for dry cleaning. She proposed a line of wireless units that are persistently pushing out volatile household appliances from the market.

Model #3 - Philips FC8588

The third competitor is a representative of the same brand. We are talking about Philips FC8588. It is lower in cost, which attracts potential buyers to the model. But the cost had a negative impact on the characteristics - in all respects, except for weight, it is inferior to the FC 9174 modification.

Main characteristics:

• power consumption / suction - 2100W / 450W;
• type of dust collector / capacity - bag / 4 l;
• telescope pipe / flexible hose - yes / yes;
• soft pad for protection in case of collisions - yes;
• number of nozzles / turbo brush - 5 pcs / is;
• dimensions / weight - 304x447x234 mm / 5.2 kg.

Despite a larger range of nozzles and a built-in furniture brush, this vacuum cleaner causes a flurry of negative reviews. So, many owners indicate that the case is quickly and easily scratched and attracts dust, and individual parts of the turbo brush begin to “move away” from the case.

It also heats up quickly and, due to inattention, you can incorrectly fix the bag in the compartment, which subsequently turns into a direct hit of dust directly on the filter and completely past the dust collector.

Vacuum cleaner features

The model is a classic vacuum cleaner solution with a separate dust collector. At the same time, the developers provided the device with technological and productive nozzles from the TriActive family. The differences of this device include a threefold action during the cleaning process. In particular, Philips FC vacuum cleaner The 9174 can simultaneously pick up large debris through the large front opening, pick up dirt and dust in hard-to-reach places, and clean furniture surfaces.

This means that during cleaning, the user does not have to change nozzles depending on the specific working conditions - TriActive devices can cope with almost all household cleaning tasks. Also the vacuum cleaner differs in high environmental friendliness and sanitary and hygienic effect. In addition to getting rid of dust and debris, it provides easy air purification by eliminating allergens.

Pros and cons in customer reviews

Thanks to the fascination of modern home appliance users with robots, the SmartPro Compact model quickly became popular.

According to reviews, it is actively acquired for different purposes:

• perform dry cleaning;
• save time allotted for business affairs;
• teach children to be clean;
• combine rest and putting things in order in the apartment, etc.

Unlike bulky vacuum cleaners with a hose, the compact model does not need to be moved from place to place, dragging an electric cord with it.

The small round body with fast rotating brushes is very similar to a useful toy that simultaneously removes dust from carpets and hard surfaces, entertains children and animals.

On the positive side, the following features of the device are noted:

• height - a little over 6 cm;
• wide nozzle for dust intake;
• spare filter pad;
• long battery life - more than 2 hours;
• additional wheels to help overcome thresholds.

Many buyers liked the ease of maintenance of the vacuum cleaner. To remove dust from the container, you need to perform a few simple movements: open the lid, take out the dust collector with a convenient handle, remove the top, filter and pour out the garbage.

Then you need to return the container to its place by performing the manipulations in the reverse order. From time to time, the filter and the plastic bowl should be rinsed with clean water.

In addition to the advantages, users also note negative points. Some complain about the quality of the battery, which is why the vacuum cleaner works much less than the declared 2 hours and 10 minutes.

Others point to the inefficiency of carpet cleaning. But this is easily explained: the passport says that the device is designed for cleaning hard surfaces. If you need a device that will do a good job cleaning carpets, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the following rating.

Also, the downside is that the device does not always immediately find the base.

However, the SmartPro Compact model really has a lot of pluses, and there are few negative points - this is a nice bonus for Philips.

Recommendations for use and care

While this premium vacuum cleaner can handle almost any type of dirt with incredible suction power, there are significant limitations.

It is important to remember that the type of cleaning is dry. This means that it is strictly forbidden to suck up spilled water or any other type of liquid, which the manufacturer strictly warns about.

In case of non-compliance with this requirement for operation, the owner may damage his vacuum cleaner. And this reason is not a warranty case.

The device is intended only for domestic use - for cleaning in an apartment, house, cottage. It’s better not to take it to the counter if you don’t want to lose your home assistant on the first day

Explosive substances and uncooled ashes must also not be removed. But the manufacturer has nothing against cleaning up cement dust, cooled ash, fine sand and other similar garbage options.

True, in such situations, the pores of the bag quickly become clogged, so the indicator will notify you of its fullness. If you see a red indicator light, you need to replace the bag with a clean one to prevent damage to the engine.

It is important to wash all filters in a timely manner, seeing that they are dirty. Then they have to be thoroughly dried and installed in place.

It is strictly forbidden to use equipment without a pre-motor filter element - the motor will burn out or be seriously damaged, which will shorten its service life.

Some vacuum cleaners may contain HEPA12

It is important to know that it is not washable - it needs to be changed every 6 months. It is important to order exactly the same - branded from Philips

If your vacuum cleaner has HEPA13, then it is not only possible to wash it, but also necessary. And every six months. It is allowed to do this only 4 times - then you have to buy a new one, as the manufacturer recommends in the instruction manual, because this resource will already be exhausted.

Another limitation concerns the Tri-Active brush - it should be stored in the "carpet cleaning" position - when the bristles are extended as far as possible from the brush body. And at the same time ensure the free placement of the nozzle so that nothing is crushed, and the bristles do not rest against obstacles.

For the most efficient operation, the manufacturer recommends changing the bag in a timely manner and using only branded consumables.

The range of dust collectors that can be installed in this model is not limited to one type. These are both classic branded s-bags with the number FC8021 and s-bag FC8021, as well as a modification with a high level of filtration Clinic s-bag FC8022, which is acceptable for allergy sufferers.

You can also use dust collectors that can absorb odors - Philips Anti-odor s-bag FC8023.

General information about the model

Philips in this case relied on a combination of performance and functionality. The unit turned out to be quite massive, so it is difficult to attribute it to successful creations in terms of ergonomics.In the basic version, the Philips FC 9174/01 dust collector is equipped with a wide range of modern cleaning tools. The basis of this set is a turbo brush, which successfully copes with dust and hair. Actually, due to the high suction capacity, there are practically no problems with the quality of cleaning.

Understanding the weaknesses of all powerful vacuum cleaners, the manufacturer sought to eliminate their impact on the operational process as much as possible. In particular, noise isolation was well implemented, although there is no question of comparison with compact versions up to 1,500 W. Physical control of the Philips FC 9174 case is facilitated by comfortable handles in the design and rubber wheels. These additions make it easy to handle the unit weighing more than 6 kg.

What is completed

Model FC9174 has an extensive package. It has all the necessary types of nozzles, including:

• A turbo brush that is easy to install and quickly cleans the room. It is especially convenient to clean the coating from wool and hair.
• Nozzle for cracks.
• Tri-Active brush, or 3-in-1, which cleans not only hard surfaces, but also the carpet (there is a special switch for this), as well as areas of complex terrain, for which special small brushes are placed on its sides.
• Small nozzle designed for upholstered furniture.

The package includes a sliding (telescopic) metal pipe.

2 Tips for choosing

In order not to regret your purchase over time, first study the main features of vacuum cleaners with an aqua filter

After all, there are such key points that you should pay special attention to when choosing and buying a small vacuum cleaner for the home:

Guarantee period. If the vacuum cleaner has a sufficiently long warranty period, then the manufacturer is confident in the reliability of its products.

Therefore, before you buy yourself a new household appliance, be sure to pay attention to the warranty, because in the future it will help you save your nerves, money and time.

Water tank. Of course, the smaller the built-in liquid reservoir in the vacuum cleaner, the more compact the equipment.

However, a vacuum cleaner with a small tank is only suitable for cleaning in a small room. For large areas, it is better to choose larger vacuum cleaners.

3. Power. Vacuum cleaner with suction power up to 300 W (like Electrolux cordless vacuum cleaners) is perfect for owners of small apartments where the floors are covered with linoleum or parquet. But for a large house with numerous carpets, it is worth buying a vacuum cleaner with a water filter with a power of approximately 450 watts. Otherwise, the operation of the device will seem inefficient to you. By the way, a nice addition will be the power control function, which will allow you to easily clean different surfaces.

4. Accessories

Pay attention to the fact that the vacuum cleaner with an aquafilter has various nozzles and brushes. This will greatly expand the capabilities of your technology.

5. Functionality and quality. The metal pipe of the vacuum cleaner (like the Zelmer washing vacuum cleaners) is considered more durable than the plastic one. And if a vacuum cleaner with an aquafilter has such a function as shutting off when it gets very hot, then this significantly increases the service life of the device.It will be useful on the farm if this household appliance has a long wire that is automatically wound up. It is not bad that the vacuum cleaner also had additional controls on the handle.

Pros and cons in owner reviews

The premium model Philips FC 9174 stands out with a considerable price tag, which did not affect the demand among buyers. Such a success of this vacuum cleaner was ensured by optimal performance, well-thought-out equipment and accessories made at the highest level.

Consider the main advantages highlighted by the owners:

• just cosmic thrust;
• strong and comfortable brushes;
• the noise level is quite low;
• use conveniently;
• assembling / disassembling the vacuum cleaner is simple;
• care is minimal.

A special advantage is an incredibly powerful thrust, although the device makes no more noise than weaker competitors.

Users like that preparing equipment for work takes no more than a minute, and all accessories are easily, but securely, fixed. Movable nozzles are installed on the hose and brushes, providing convenience during the cleaning process

As for the cons, here the owners of this model indicate the following features:

• thin power cord;
• weak automatic winding mechanism;
• weak fastening of the rollers on the 3-in-1 brush, which threatens with possible breakage;
• only one option for a dust collector - a bag;
• the need to regularly buy consumables - disposable bags;
• high price tag;
• rigid corrugated hose.

The last two disadvantages are offset by the characteristics of the device - the rigidity of the hose design protects the accessory from damage when the vacuum cleaner is operating at maximum power.

And the high price tag is fully justified by the excellent equipment and operating parameters of the equipment.It is rare that a model is initially equipped with strong and comfortable nozzles made of solid materials.

A detailed analysis of the features of this vacuum cleaner and its disadvantages was made by one of the owners in the following video:

Advantages and disadvantages

According to Philips FC9071 reviews, the model has the following advantages:

• The engine is powerful. Thanks to him, the suction power is high, as for vacuum cleaners of this type.
• The presence of a multi-stage filtration system. Thanks to this, the air leaving the vacuum cleaner is clean and much safer for human health.
• Existence of system of aromatization of the air coming out of the vacuum cleaner. Thanks to this, the room will smell pleasant after cleaning.
• Possibility to choose between disposable paper and reusable cloth bags. Everyone chooses for himself what is more convenient. With reusable containers, you do not have to spend money on purchasing additional containers every time. Paper ones will have to be constantly bought in addition, but they do not need to be emptied and contacted with garbage, but only thrown away and put in a new one.
• Comfortable handle. Thanks to it, you can adjust the length of the telescopic tube depending on your own height.
• Universal brush. Such a nozzle changes its design depending on the surface to be treated.
• Small sizes. The vacuum cleaner turned out to be medium-sized and maneuverable.
• Low noise level. The vacuum cleaner works quite quietly.

In addition to these advantages, you need to remember about the shortcomings of the model. These include the following:

• The kit does not include a turbo brush.
• There is no handle on the case for transporting the vacuum cleaner.
• The vacuum cleaner is unstable, according to users. It can tip over when it hits an obstacle.

But value for money is good.

Similar models

Before purchasing such a vacuum cleaner model, a comparison with competitors is required. For example, the following options are analogues:

• LG VK88504 HUG. The power parameters are the same as the considered model from Philips. A slight difference lies in the suction power - 430 and 450 watts. Although this difference is imperceptible in practice. A more notable difference is the presence of a cyclone filter. Because of this, the device costs 1.5 thousand rubles. more. The cable length is 8 m. The device weighs only 300 g more than the Philips model.
• Samsung VC24FHNJGWQ. The vacuum cleaner costs 2 thousand rubles. less. The suction power is almost the same - 440 watts. Power consumption is higher - 2400 watts. The dust collector is a bag, it is designed for 3 liters. The model weighs 400 g less. There is also a HEPA 13 fine filter.
• VITEK VT-1833. The vacuum cleaner is weaker in power - 1800 W and 400 W. But his price is less than 2 thousand rubles. An aquafilter is used. The capacity of the dust container is 500 ml more, and the weight of the whole device is 2 kg. There is a 5-stage filtration system.

There are many other vacuum cleaners that have garbage bags installed. It is best to compare them by technical specifications and additional options.

Advantages and disadvantages

Philips FC8472 has a number of advantages, which include:

• effective cyclone technology for air purification from pollution;
• ease of use of the vacuum cleaner;
• compactness and maneuverability of the model;
• high build quality;
• sufficiently high suction power.

The lack of a carrying handle is also considered by many to be a disadvantage of the model.But, given the cost of the device and performance characteristics, you can put up with such a minus.

Some reviews note that the universal nozzle quickly fails during active use. And this is an additional cost for buying a new one. In addition, the model does not have a power regulator.

Similar models

The closest competitor of the model in question is the Samsung SC5251 vacuum cleaner. It has similar technical characteristics of suction power and performance, and is cheaper than Phillips.

Of the additional functions - the presence of a power regulator and an indicator of filling the dust container. But unlike the Philips, the Samsung is baggy, meaning it has a traditional trash bag that's far from as easy to clean.

In addition, the Korean vacuum cleaner has a higher noise level during operation (84 dB), and it weighs 1 kg more. As for the equipment, Samsung has a high-quality turbo brush. But the Philips universal nozzle described above is not inferior to it in terms of functionality and ease of use.

In terms of compactness, Philips can compete with the Thomax Aqua-Box Compact. But in terms of technical indicators, they are not very similar. Their dimensions are almost the same, the power consumption of “Thomas” is more than 200 W, but at the same time it weighs as much as 8 kg. In addition, this is a model with a wet cleaning function and a water filter.

Accessories for Philips FC 9174

The model is equipped with dust collectors and special filters, thanks to which in many respects it is possible to achieve high cleaning rates. S-bags have a highly durable structure and can hold up to 4 liters. Actually, this accessory determined the considerable dimensions of the device, thanks to which the operator can work longer without replacing the dust collector.In addition, the Philips FC 9174 vacuum cleaner is supplied with filters of the HEPA AirSeal system. The mentioned function of cleaning the air in the room is realized precisely due to these filters. The system absorbs air, subjecting it to processing, and then releases it without the slightest particle of dust.

HEPA filters have different modifications, so for each case it is worth using an element with suitable characteristics.

Conclusion

In recent years, in the household appliances segment, there has been a tendency to move away from familiar and obsolete concepts. But not always the replacement of traditional solutions with modern ones gives good results. At least the efficiency of the classical design of a bagged vacuum cleaner is confirmed by the Philips FC 9174. Reviews note that it is able to compete with the best representatives of models with water filters. This applies to performance as well as functionality with cleaning flexibility.

The comparison in terms of sanitary and hygienic advantages is not so unambiguous. Of course, the introduction of modern HEPA filters increases the level of bacteriological protection, but competitive lines are constantly developing in this direction. Moreover, it was from vacuum cleaners with aquafilters that Philips borrowed air purification tools, combining them with traditional dust collectors. As a result, a hybrid was obtained, in which the old technologies were preserved, and modern developments were successfully implemented.
