The Philips FC9332 / 09 is a bagless canister vacuum cleaner provided with the energy efficiency class A can score. He can also score top marks in the hard floor cleaning class and in the dust emission class. And all with only 650 watts of power. If a vacuum cleaner achieves such low consumption and at the same time such good cleaning results, then you can assume that it has been designed very cleverly. All elements harmonize in a perfect interaction, without interrupting the flow of air from the nozzle to the engine.
If consumers used to think that only a high wattage would be responsible for a very good cleaning performance, then we know better today. Because the new devices usually suck much better today than old energy-consuming Wattmonster.

The technical data in comparison
However, there are also other comparative values that say a lot about the vacuum cleaner. These include, of course, primarily the wattage, but also the volume of the collection container, the size and weight, and action radius and setting the power levels. Here is a brief overview of the most important features you should look for when buying:

What speaks for a vacuum cleaner without a bag?
First and foremost, of course, the consequential costs of purchasing the vacuum cleaner bags. Of course there are even more reasons for a cyclone vacuum cleaner , which we would like to briefly explain here.
- no follow-up costs due to overpriced vacuum cleaner bags
- No odor formation as with the vacuum cleaner with bag
- usually easier handling and easier emptying of the collection container
- Environmentally friendly because no additional waste
- Level controllable at any time
- More modern look
- Suitable for allergy sufferers, as mostly HEPA filters installed
But if we already report of so many positive qualities, we do not want to deprive you of the disadvantages of the cyclone vacuum cleaner, of course:
- usually a higher noise level than the bag vacuum cleaner
- The purchase price is usually higher
The purchase price, however, has done much in recent times for the benefit of consumers. So you get this Philips currently already for 110.00 € on Amazon. If you only charge the follow-up costs through the vacuum cleaner bags with other devices, then the higher purchase price has already paid off in a very short time. The HEPA filter on this device must also be replaced only once a year. The rest of the time it can be washed out and used again. But be careful, the filter must be absolutely dry before you put it back in and use the device.
Our first impression in the review of the Philips FC9332 / 09 vacuum cleaner
The delivery includes the switchable a combination nozzle, a parquet nozzle, a suction brush and a crevice tool. Of course, there is also a manual, but this is unnecessary during assembly as well as during handling. We just looked at them briefly but did not use them.
In our Philips FC9332 / 09 test it makes a solid impression , no cheap plastic and no 08-15 processing. For example, the suction tube is not inserted as in other devices only in the handle, but is closed with a click-lock. The suction pipe itself is not made of plastic, but of metal. The wheels are rubberized , initially a bit cumbersome, but they run better with time. If you do not want to wait, you can spray some silicone spray from inside the tire. Then he runs around from the beginning.
The crevice nozzle is attached to the suction tube, here there is a special holder. The suction brush is in the handle and can be pushed out if necessary.
It does not get any easier
large rubberized wheels run after initial difficulties really well on small sills or bumps.
The telescopic tube can be adjusted to my height of 1.90 m. With a click closure, it is stable and durable in the respective length.
The suction power is unfortunately not adjustable, only on the handle is a small slider, with which you can interrupt the air supply. But this only helps in the accidental sucking of light and small carpets. Since you can not really adjust the suction power, of course, the vacuum cleaner always runs at full noise level. This is quite loud at 79 decibels, unlike other devices we tested.
The brushes are also very easy to replace and also snap by a “click”.
What we really like is the maneuverability of the device. Due to its low weight of 4.5 kg, he obeys his word. Sometimes even a bit too hasty, so you have to be careful that he does not drive you in the feet.
The cable is automatically pulled in by a button on the device . Again this mechanism works without any problem that long cable disappears without interruption into the device.
Easy emptying of the dust container on the Philips FC9332 / 09
The 1.5-liter dust container has a very sturdy handle, which is also used to carry the cyclone suction. The emptying of the dust container is very easy . It is removed by simply clicking a button on the vacuum cleaner. The waste in the container is sealed very well, nothing falls out accidentally. A further button on the container opens the flap and you can easily empty the contents over the bin. Of course, this creates a little dust, so I recommend emptying outdoors.
The dust container is a washable and reusable filter . In addition, there is a replaceable allergy filter on the back of the vacuum cleaner so that neither fine dust nor odors are created when vacuuming. That’s why the Philips FC9332 / 09 has the dust emission Class A preserved.
The endurance test convinces the little Philips
In our Philips FC9332 / 09 test, the suction power is quite neat. On parquet and tiles, we have no problems. However, you have to open the slider on carpets, otherwise the sucker sucks on the carpet. we mainly use the TriActive nozzle. These can be easily adjusted from a hard floor nozzle to a carpet nozzle by means of a foot lever. However, those who often forget to extend the brush ring for hard floors should always use the hard floor nozzle for sensitive surfaces. Because with this brush a retraction of the brush ring is not possible.
The hard floor cleaning with the Philips FC9332 / 09
On hard floors, the Philips FC9332 / 09 PowerPro Compact demonstrates excellent suction performance .
Dirt particles along walls, furniture, and corners are a bit tricky, though the floor nozzle has extra air channels at the short nozzle edges. Since the nozzle is quite clunky and big, unfortunately, it does not come in every corner and in every corner. For edge cleaning we therefore recommend the crevice nozzle. It’s so small and narrow that it comes in every corner. Because the TriActive nozzle is quite large as described, cleaning under furniture is also a bit difficult. However, if you take the hard bottom nozzle, then you have much greater latitude.
To save space or to clean the stairs, the vacuum cleaner can also be upended. Then, however, an insertion of the vacuum cleaner tube at the rear of the device is no longer possible. Although we give this bracket anyway not a very long life, it is very unstable and made of thin plastic. There are certainly better solutions here.
