Philips 8000 Series SpeedPro Max XC8045/01 Review | 52 Data compared

This 2021 review from Haus & Garten Test evaluates 17 cordless stick vacuums, highlighting improved agility and the addition of mopping attachments for dual-action cleaning. While the bagless designs eliminate recurring costs, a significant drawback identified by testers is that emptying the dust container is often a messy process that exposes users directly to dust and allergens.

Technik zu Hause tested premium cordless vacuums over €400, including models from Dyson, AEG, and Vorwerk, highlighting superior suction power and effective LED-equipped, high-performance motorized brushes. While praised for their cleaning capabilities and, in some cases, convenient self-standing features, the review notes that some units struggle to pick up larger debris in max mode, and not all models offer the same versatility, such as the lack of a detachable handheld unit on certain models.

The September 2020 cordless vacuum cleaner test by Konsument.at found that while models offer improved flexibility for cleaning textiles and pet hair with fast charging times, they suffer from short high-power runtimes (9-15 minutes), poor edge cleaning, and high noise levels. Key drawbacks include heavy, non-user-replaceable batteries and required continuous-hold power switches.
