Only recommended if your girlfriend has short hair
After a long time back and forth I decided to buy this vacuum cleaner, the first impression was already promising.
My conclusion after 1 1/2 years in operation.
The LED's are the Börner, really something clever and you can see even in the dark places what was sucked.
The vacuum cleaner is very handy and for my feeling he has an optimal weight.
Why only two stars?
Do not get the vacuum cleaner if someone in the household has long hair, or look for a partner with short hair. The rotating brush eats full of it, this is easy to clean, but unfortunately the hair also wind up in the small gaps. These are unfortunately not to be cleaned, very sad. The suction power is too weak for me personally, I lack the extra power. Also, the brush head should be much wider, for me, this vacuum cleaner is not really effective to clean an apartment properly in a reasonable time.
But who likes sucks and have fun with the Playmobil.
Also I do not know if the battery is replaceable at all!?
Next time there is then again what with a cable and more steam.Pro
- Very handy
- Quick emptying of the container
- LED light ingenious

Contra
- The small parts of the rotating brush can not be cleaned
- Suction power solala
- Brush should be wider
- Battery is not for me, I prefer something with a cable again
- Brush is too high for my sofa, I can't get under it
- The brush head is full of long hair after 2 times vacuuming
- My girlfriend has long hair
If we can charge even faster in the future, there is nothing more to criticize about the device. Definitely recommendable.
I received the Speed Pro Max as part of a product test and was already looking forward to it. When it arrived, my first impression was already very positive. High quality packaging and beautiful design. Thereupon, I unpacked the vacuum cleaner and immediately once fully charged.
Without having to read the manual, this product is very self-explanatory. The wall mount with charging stalion is attachable with only two screws. The LED display indicates how much % are already charged or are still available during vacuuming.
After charging the vacuum cleaner to 100%, I started the test. Given: House with 3 floors and 133m2 living space.
I vacuumed the first time in turbo mode. As Philips also states, the battery power for this is limited to about 25min. Thus, I did not get far. BUT: The LED light, which is attached to the front of the suction brush, is ingenious, because you can see the dust wonderfully and I was surprised how much difference this makes to a conventional vacuum cleaner without light.
After a full recharge (this is a bit long but for that I had a long performance afterwards) it then went on in Max mode. With this I get much further in the old house with plinths, corners and edges. For the entire house, the battery is not enough for me, but none of the current available on the market battery vacuum cleaner, offers me that. Nevertheless, I recommend a cordless vacuum cleaner to everyone, because it is handy, portable over several floors, thanks to the light weight, and it also makes you reach for the vacuum cleaner sooner and faster.
In particular, I also find it ingenious that I have a 2in1 device with the Speed Pro Max. When removing the long rod, I hold a hand vacuum cleaner in my hand, which ensures me during vacuuming, with the crevice nozzle clean gaps in the radiators in the house. Another super plus is the integrated and hinged brush on the long rod. While vacuuming, I can thus thoroughly vacuum all the skirting edges and thus quickly remove the dust.
Vacuuming under the bed is also easier than ever, the Speed Pro Max lights up the area for me and I get under the bed well because of the handiness.
We have hardwood floors, terrazzo stone floors and carpets in our house. No matter what type of floor, the brush is very good and easy to use for everything. Especially with the carpets, I felt that the vacuum does a very clean job and cleans them very well.
What surprised me very positively was the emptying of the full dust container. This had always been something I had hated before, as it was cumbersome and swirled a lot of dust and dirt around. With the Philips Speed Pro Max, I emptied it directly into the trash bag with no mess and in a few seconds.Pro
- Handy
- Easy
- LED light
Contra
- Somewhat long battery charge
Hands off this vacuum cleaner
I'll try to be brief:
Only buy this vacuum cleaner if no one in your household has long hair.
The internal motor (not removable) in the brush head gradually collects more and more hair, until the motor can no longer stand against the resistance and blocks. This is followed by the E4 indicator (on the display) and the vacuum cleaner quits.... The product was sent in 2 times within the warranty. The second time they waited until it was quote "no longer repairable within warranty". I can have the product repaired for 150.-! or send it back to me for 55.- non-functional... the one star there is for the super team of digitec that would give me at least the return costs.Very good

Very good hoover, I recommend
I must admit that I was a bit sceptical about the Dyson V11 that I was going to buy. But reading the comments on Galaxus, I was convinced. I'm glad to be able to write that this hoover is really great. The 3 LED's on the brush are very useful and it's hard to imagine how you can do without them. The autonomy is always a delicate point because it depends on the use. But for my part, with a flat of about 97m2, the vacuum loaded to 100%, I manage to do the cleaning completely and I still have 30% left. It may not seem like much but believe me, with the old Dyson I had, it was not possible.
Pro
- 3 brush LEDs
- very good autonomy
- nice design
Contra
- a bit heavy
