Philips XB2123/09 vacuum cleaner - is it any good?

My short consumer opinion about the Philips XB2123/09 vacuum cleaner

Philips XB2123/09 vacuum cleaner

As some of you probably know I became a big fan of Miele products in the last couple of years and that is why I have bought at least three of their vacuum cleaners (some for personal use and some for gifts). 

And to be honest I am quite happy with the performance of the Miele Complete C3 Cat & Dog PowerLine that I have been using since 2020 and the Miele C1 Classic which is our secondary vacuum cleaner.

Philips XB2123/09 - pros and cons

The FC8779/09 caught my attention today just because there was a huge discount of over 40% in one of the local electronics stores. I have previously owned couple of Philips vacuum cleaners and they did a good job but I wouldn't classify them as premium products. 
One of the products that we tested was the Philips FC8779/09 which is a higher end model with good cleaning and air-filtering capabilities. 

The lower end models also did well but they lasted for couple of years before I sold them second-hand (because of decreasing performance after a while).

Now lets focus on the Philips XB2123/09 itself and its main pros and cons:
Pros
  • Powerful 
  • Affordable
  • Relatively compact and lightweight
  • Good build quality
  • Long power cable
  • Relatively quiet
  • Super Clean Air filter
Cons
  • There are cheaper vacuum cleaners with the same specs
  • More standard accessories could be included
  • Some models in this class offer better filters

Philips XB2123/09 is a very decent vacuum cleaner, especially if you find it on sale sine it is an older model. If not on sale I would recommend you to go for any of the newer models that have the more recent versions of the PowerCyclone system.

Full product specifications of the white 5V travel adapter Samsung EP-TA200 Some time ago we reviewed the Samsung EP-TA200 but back then we took it from our lovely Samsung Galaxy Note 9. The charger in question was black with a longer USB/type-C cable. It seems that this adapter proved to be a solid product since Samsung are still using it for some of their brand new smartphones like the A52s that we tested recently.
