Hello, I got a comment on my previous post recommending I post it here as well.
I had the Philips one but after about a year it's suction changed to the point where it's hard for it to pick up cat litter now..
It must be able to deal with a lot of cat hair and litter.. and preferably be under 500 euros.
Of course I think a corded one is better for my purposes, and I have mostly hard floors with a few small rugs.
The problem is that every year the quality decreases, so it becomes difficult to know which vacuums will still be good. For example, someone may have purchased the same vacuum 5 years ago and think it's great but the one sold today might not compare
I have the same vacuum. Did you change the filter yet? I changed it after 2 years or so and it made a tremendous difference in suction power. Slurps up cat litter like my cats slurp up treats
Which filter? Do you mean the one inside the container with all the stuff that gets picked up, or the one on the outside of the vaccuum?
I haven't changed it yet but I presumed the motor is already worn out
Both, you need something like this: https://www.philips.nl/c-p/FC8010_02/vervangingsset
I am almost certain your motor has not worn out, mine still works perfectly after 4 years of use. Please replace the filters first, which should be done yearly as is stated on the website here. Be sure to check if your specific model is compatible with the set though.
