Philips PowerPro Active PowerCyclone 7 Review

The Philips PowerCyclone 7 is a powerful, bagless, cylinder vacuum cleaner. It's the seventh model in the series, being greatly refined since the previous six. It's a powerful piece of equipment, with a well designed series of inlets and air channels giving an air flow which efficiently separates out the dust. In fact, it's maximum air flow is an impressive 27 litres per second. On top of all this, the PowerCyclone 7 is lightweight and easy to manoeuvre.

One feature we find particularly interesting is the allergen filter. It removes up to 99% of particles which trigger allergies, e.g. fine dust, pet hair, pollen, dust mites, etc. It achieves this with an HEPA 13 filter, which outputs clean air, preventing dust clouds. The PowerCyclone 7 comes with an accessory kit consisting of a crevice tool, a 2-in-1 brush/small nozzle, a hard floor nozzle and a TriActiveMax nozzle. There's also a large 2.2 litre dust container with a design which makes it comfortable to empty.
