squaretile 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2007 Hi! Anyone bought vacuum cleaner recently? Can share if the Phillips FC 8716 is good? Main benefit to me is that it doesn't require dustbags (just a plastic jug-like holder than you can take out and wash) and has strong suction power. apparently uses some 'cyclone' technology which means that as the dust cup fills, suction power doesn't reduce, unlike other bagless VC. 2000W power with 400W suction (i think). And very 'advanced' looking VC head with side brushes. also not too bulky / heavy.Other brands considering are the Karcher (also bagless, but suction prob not as powerful since dustcup is small and doesn't use same technology).any vacuum cleaner advice appreciated.

chew@PPLe 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2007 Think the cyclone tecknology is copied from... Dyson. That's the best if you want bagless. But it's way costly too. I'm using Philips FC9150. My hubby is happy with it so far... til the pt he willing to do all the vacumming... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
