The table reflects the characteristics of the model FC8792, FC8794 expired and vacuum cleaner. Operating time 105 minutes - a guaranteed minimum rate, in fact, the device can work longer
If the cleaning process has stopped ahead of time, do not panic. Most likely, ended battery pack is fully charged batteries.
But if the battery is used for a long time, it is recommended to replace them with new ones, as the number of chargers is limited.
On the base of a vacuum cleaner set on 4 hours - that is how much time is needed to fully charge the batteries.
In the new series used display, sound and light. "Lights" on the case will notify you about the end of the charge and that the device is turned on.

Convenient and a timer as it is possible to program the device for the next 24 hours. It automatically turns on and carry out their functions on time, comfortable for the user, for example, while he is at work.
Due to the compact dimensions of the vacuum cleaner can not boast of a large container for dust. Volume of dust bag - only 0.4 liters, but it is enough if be cleaned more than once a week. But if there are animals in the house, then because of wool dust bag will be filled faster.
Inside it has a powerful fan that sucks dust-laden air under a pressure of 600 Pa. The purity of H12 provides blown air filter from time to time needs to be cleaned
It is important to keep them in good and clean drop height sensors. They are mounted on the housing and can break or to dust, whereby the vacuum cleaner lose orientation in space, and fall down the stairs.

Pros and cons to customer feedback
After analyzing the reviews that are posted on the websites, we come to the conclusion that positive evaluations much more. It is possible for two reasons. The first concerns the issue of time series: the goods relatively fresh and new models rarely break down and are working properly.
It can be concluded that in its price segment SmartPro Easy Series devices look quite respectable. They perform a minimum set of useful functions, it does not require additional maintenance
The second reason has to do with the competitiveness of the brand Philips: the products of this brand is really good quality and always has a minimum of complaints from users.
Positively evaluated a set of technical specifications, design, dimensions. But more useful trifles are marked considerate users.
