Philips | My Philips Cordless Vacuum Cleaner runs out of battery quickly (2024)

Your vacuum cleaner comes with different power settings depending on the model. A higher setting uses more battery than a lower setting. Furthermore, the type of floor and configuration of the vacuum cleaner can influence the runtime. For example, if you only use the handheld, the battery will be more energy efficient than with the complete tube and nozzle connected to the handheld.

Please find the recommended settings for normal daily use for each model below.

The highest setting of your Philips 8000 Series Cordless is "Turbo", which has very high suction power. Based on this, the appliance consumes battery very fast in the "Turbo" setting. This setting is meant to be used to clean very dirty areas. For regular amounts of dust, your Philips 8000 Series Cordless can be used in the "Eco" or "Normal" setting. See below some of the most common setups and their runtime depending on the power setting used.

Using the full stick (handheld, tube and nozzle) with Floor Type Recognition "ON".
Here are the runtimes of the three power settings (see image 1):

Eco (Runtime 29–50 minutes).
Normal (Runtime 19–28 minutes).
Turbo (Runtime 13–20 minutes).

Using the full stick (handheld, tube and nozzle) with Floor Type Recognition "OFF".
Here are the runtimes of the three power settings (see image 2):

Eco (Runtime 29–43 minutes).
Normal (Runtime 19–26 minutes).
Turbo (Runtime 13–17 minutes).

Using the handheld only, or the handheld, tube and the Vacuum & Mop nozzle, or the handheld and accessory (crevice tool, soft brush, combination tool, upholstery nozzle).
Here are the runtimes of the three power settings (see image 3):

Eco (Runtime 72–80 minutes).
Normal (Runtime 32–35 minutes).
Turbo (Runtime 26–30 minutes).

Using the handheld and the MiniTurbo brush.
Here are the runtimes of the three power settings (see image 4):

Eco (Runtime 53–58 minutes).
Normal (Runtime 27–30 minutes).
Turbo (Runtime 17–19 minutes).

Notes:

You can watch the video for instructions on how to turn Floor Type Recognition on and off.
Runtimes depend on floor type. For example, the runtime will usually be longer on a hard laminate floor than a high-pile carpet.
Runtimes are measured with a full (100%) charge and a new battery and appliance. Battery capacity will decrease over time and use.
Our LEDs are very energy efficient — turning them off has minimal effect on runtime.
The runtimes mentioned are only applicable for fixed operation mode during cleaning.
