Appearance and functionality
Philips FC6408 is made in silver and black. The handle, the toggle buttons and the filter installation location are colored turquoise. In the lower part of the pipe, wheels are installed, which ensure the maneuverability and passability of the vacuum cleaner. The assembled height is 116 cm, the depth and width are 18 and 25 cm. The device can be left upright without leaning against the wall. It weighs only 3.6 kg.
The attachments are mounted on magnets, which makes it easy to change them. The power buttons are located on the handle of the tube, as well as on the handheld vacuum cleaner. A special button for opening the dust container is located on the top of the case.
The vacuum cleaner has a high suction speed. The air flow enters the cyclone chamber, where its speed is increased due to the curved shape of the duct. In this case, dust particles settle, and clean air comes out. Cleaning is carried out by a three-stage filtration system, which includes a fine filter that eliminates up to 90% of allergens. To throw the garbage out of the dust container, simply detach it and drain it into the bin. Its fullness level is easy to determine thanks to the transparent body.
Unlike standard vacuum cleaners, the cordless one provides excellent maneuvering. Due to the rotating attachment and the large tilt angle, it easily goes under furniture. The standard nozzle is ideal for cleaning hard surfaces and carpets. There is a thin nozzle (slotted) for entering corners and hard-to-reach places. For wet cleaning, just install a block with liquid and fix the microfiber. It receives water from the container in automatic mode.
If necessary, the vacuum cleaner can be detached from the handle for manual use. This allows you to vacuum up sofas, shelves or your car. Philips handles all types of debris, wool, hair, and more. It can also collect liquid.
