Philips SmartPro Easy

The Philips SmartPro Easy is a smart and stylish automatic cleaner for homes and offices. It's designed for cleaning a variety of hard floors, including parquet, laminate, and tile. It can also be used to clean carpets and low-pile rugs, but this can sometimes be challenging. In this article, we'll take a closer look at this new "marvel of technology" and examine its features and capabilities in detail. This article will also provide a review of the Philips SmartPro Easy FC8794/01 and FC8792/01 robot vacuum cleaners. In 2019, an updated model, the FC8796, was released, but we've covered it separately in this article. .

Delivery set

In addition to the robot vacuum cleaner, the kit includes the following components:

• charging station.
• AC power adapter.
• side brushes.
• output filter.
• remote control.

Since the FC8794/01 is designed for wet cleaning, it also includes a nozzle with a microfiber cloth. This is the main difference between the FC8794/01 and FC8792/01.

Appearance

The Philips SmartPro Easy robot vacuum cleaner features an ultra-slim body made of glossy plastic. Its square shape with slightly rounded corners allows it to more thoroughly clean corners and along walls. A single button on the top of the body activates the robotic cleaner.

The robot's design is very stylish and modern. The FC8792/01 model is available in blue with black accents, while the FC8794/01 model is black with neon blue accents. An overview of the appearance of both models is shown in the following photos:

Functional capabilities

The FC8792/01 modification features a two-stage cleaning technology: using two side brushes and a vacuum, the Philips SmartPro Easy robot vacuum cleaner removes dirt and debris from surfaces, while the exhaust filter captures the smallest dust particles and effectively filters the outgoing air.

The FC8794/01 model features a three-stage cleaning system with an additional wet mopping function: first, two brushes guide debris along the robot's path, then a nozzle collects this debris using a powerful built-in motor, and finally, a microfiber cloth helps thoroughly collect even the finest dust, increasing cleaning efficiency. The device has a high suction power (0.6 kPa), so collected debris flows directly into the dust container. The 400-milliliter dust container is located at the top of the vacuum cleaner, making it easy to remove for cleaning. The container is simply rinsed with warm water, dried thoroughly, and then reinserted.

The Philips SmartPro Easy can clean in four modes: zigzag, spiral, random, and wall-following. Thanks to the Smart Detection 2 system, the cleaning mode can be tailored to specific conditions. This system combines 23 infrared sensors and an accelerometer. The robot automatically analyzes the environment and selects the most appropriate cleaning mode for the shortest cleaning time.

The lithium-ion battery allows the robot to clean for 105 minutes on a single charge. The average cleaning area is 50 square meters. A useful feature is the ability to schedule cleaning for the next 24 hours. You can schedule cleaning for any time, even while you're away. The robot will clean your home autonomously and then return to the charging station when finished.

Let's sum it up

Let's outline the main advantages of the Philips SmartPro Easy robot vacuum cleaner:

1. An ultra-thin, stylish square body with slightly rounded corners for easy cleaning of corners and spaces along walls.
2. High-capacity Li-Ion battery.
3. High suction power of the device (0.6 kPa).
4. Easy to operate and maintain.
5. Four different cleaning modes.
6. The presence of a system for adaptation to different types of premises and automatic selection of the optimal cleaning mode.
7. The Philips SmartPro Easy FC8794/01 modification is a robotic vacuum cleaner with wet cleaning.
8. Thorough filtration of outgoing air.

One of the robot vacuum's drawbacks is its rather small dust bin, but given its slim design, this capacity is perfectly acceptable. It's also worth noting that the robot vacuum is better suited for cleaning hard floors than carpet. One final minor drawback worth mentioning is the timer setting, which isn't very user-friendly. Activation is accomplished by pressing a button on the remote control. There's no indication of the turn-on time. Simply press the button, and after exactly 24 hours, the device turns on. The timer is also turned off via the button on the remote control. Not entirely convenient.

The average price in 2019 is $118 for the Philips FC 8794 and up to $150 for the Philips FC 8792. This places these robot vacuums in the mid-price range. The device is completely worth the price, as most users agree. There are also no complaints about cleaning performance. On this positive note, we conclude our review of the Philips SmartPro Easy. We hope you found this information helpful!
