Vacuuming the floors isn't really anyone's idea of fun, but the SpeedPro Max Aqua 8000 is Philips way of making the task much easier and faster. This new cordless cleaner is a powerful blend of vacuum and mop, so it's the perfect buy if you have both carpet and hard floors to keep clean. The most notable feature is the suction and mopping mouthpiece which vacuums and mops hard floors at the same time. When it's time to vacuum the carpet, simply swap over to the regular mouthpiece and away you go!

The Philips SpeedPro Max Aqua 8000 delivers a thorough and efficient cleaning process thanks to its specially designed nozzle with a 360-degree opening, allowing you to vacuum forwards, backwards and sideways as well. The lights on the nozzle also let you see where the dust is lurking on hard floors, especially in the corners.

This stick vacuum cleaner boasts more power than most, with the PowerCyclone 10 motor providing a strong suction force for up to 80 minutes at the lowest setting. At the other end of the scale, using the turbo setting while vacuuming the carpet gives you up to 30 minutes of battery power.

There is a lot to like about this new Philips SpeedPro Max Aqua vacuum cleaner, particularly if you have both carpet and hard floors to keep clean - and let's face it, all homes do. But instead of using a mop on a hard surface, and a vacuum on a carpeted one, you can use the same appliance on both, and expect extra good results. When it comes to keeping the floors clean, anything that makes the job easier and more convenient needs to be closely looked at!
