Operation of the Philips FC8787/09 Performer Silent
This high-end vacuum cleaner offers a high overall performance, very comfortable operation and a complete set of accessories, being ideal for those looking to effectively eliminate dirt in all types of circumstances.
Efficient power
With the entry into force of the European Union energy regulation, the maximum power of corded vacuum cleaners was limited, so manufacturers had to look for a greater efficiency to achieve the same result with lower electrical costs.
With a power rating of 650 watts (maximum 750), the Philips FC8787/09 provides a absorption capacity equivalent to that of old vacuum cleaners with more than 2.000 W, but with much lower consumption.
This is achieved thanks to its new generation engine —which rotates at high speed to provide high suction power— and at optimization of air flows inside the device.
The Philips FC8787/09 It has electronic power regulation, so that we can easily adapt it to the type of surface and degree of dirt; its noise level is below 70 decibels, a very low noise level, and which will normally be even lower, since, thanks to its great absorption capacity, we will usually not need to use it at maximum power.
TriActive+ LED Brush
The TriActive+ LED brush is another of the star features of this machine, which allows you to combine effectiveness and efficiency on all types of terrain with maximum comfort.
The TriActive brush is a Philips innovation that achieves high performance on both hard floors and carpets (it has the usual switch tab to select the most appropriate position in each case).

Bags and filtering
The Philips FC8787/09 is a bag vacuum cleaner, a system that many users prefer for the comfort and hygiene that it provides compared to those of deposit.
In this case, use s-bag Classic Long Performance bags. The s-bag bags have a studied multi-layer design that effectively traps dirt inside while allowing air to circulate, so They do much of the filtering work and allow suction capacity to be maintained as they fill, also achieving greater durability than a conventional bag.
The bags have a 4 liter capacity, enough to completely clean a home for about 10-12 weeks, have a practical self-closing system to avoid dust clouds, and are certified by the prestigious independent German institute TÜV Rheinland.
Ergonomics and ease of use
The Philips FC8787/09 Performer Silent It is quite compact and very easy to handle. Measuring 32 x 47 x 28 centimeters and weighing 5,4 kilograms, it moves fluidly and makes turns well, thanks to its two large rubber side wheels and the multi-directional central wheel.
El telescopic tube It makes it easy to adapt the height to that of the user, as well as cleaning in elevated areas, and its very long 9 meter cable provides you with a 12 meter range, among the largest in the category, which allows great freedom of movement and prevents us from having to constantly look for a power outlet.
Action radius of 12 meters
Its handle allows a comfortable grip, which is not tiring for the wrist, and has an integrated bristle brush, so that we always have it at hand when we need it.

Opinions on the Philips Performer Silent FC8787/09
It is extremely quiet, I remember when I was little how the noise that vacuum cleaners made bothered me, and with this one, Even at its highest power level, it makes almost less noise than a handheld vacuum cleaner, but with much more power. It moves with agility and its 360º wheel makes work much easier. The cable provides a 12-meter radius of action and retracts on its own. It's impressive, you have to try it to see it.
This Philips vacuum cleaner is a good example of its know-how and that you don't have to spend a fortune to have a clean house. It comes with a lot of accessories, a long cable and is very comfortable to handle. The suction power is simply superb, great value for money.
It is a typical vacuum cleaner, which is connected with a power cable, which in this case is very long. The brush is very manageable and has Triactive+ LED technology, which allows you to see dirt better. What catches my attention the most is how little noise it makes, nothing like others I had tried before.. With the allergy I have, I prefer it to be a model with a bag, it seems like a good purchase to me.
We have been with her for a few weeks and she has convinced us. My mother has an AEG from a more affordable range and after comparing them, this Philips is superior in many aspects, which is normal considering the range in question. I am struck by the quality of both the device and the accessories, its very long cable and, above all, the suction power., whether you vacuum rugs, parquet or carpets. I think it is an excellent and very manageable product.
Cleaning with the mini turbo brush
The vacuum cleaner comes well packaged and protected. Its large wheels make filming much easier and it is very beautiful to look at. The bags have a good capacity, so you don't have to change them very often. I really liked the TriActive+ LED nozzle, it makes the dirt look much better, vacuuming in the dark even looks better. Its quality-price ratio is good, since it is very powerful, not very noisy and comes with many accessories.
