[@milenaskids]

Thanks for review! Will buy one from Lidl tomorrow! Good price.

[@BrokeLifeEU]

Thank you! Please feel free to share what you think kf you end up buying one of these.

[@PetyrWo]

Good job! You managed to make vacuum cleaners interesting 😆😆

[@BrokeLifeEU]

Thank you! I tried 😅 I think I failed but still I gave it a shot 😅

[@GS-XV]

Great detailed review 👍 The Silevercreast looks great

[@BrokeLifeEU]

Thank you! Yes, it has been fantastic!

[@leshacore]

Thanks a lot for the review! Just wanted to buy silvercrest vacuum on our local Lidl

[@BrokeLifeEU]

Thank you for watching! Did you end up buying one?

[@bungydutts]

Great review again . 😊

[@BrokeLifeEU]

Thank you so much!

[@zabikhulloibragimov284]

Phillips is like a Influencer xD great comment

[@BrokeLifeEU]

Cheers! But it i though isn't it 😂

[@pajamanoah9037]

Bought a silvercrest today, looks promising! You can also use it as a handheld for cars or staircases etc.

[@katarinak-vi7xc]

Btw bought Einhell te vc 18 vacuum and i am very satisfied. Wet and dry vacuuming plus blowing plus easy to connect to router and similar tools and collect dust.

[@BrokeLifeEU]

Einhell is a very solid choice indeed!

[@lunatiy]

I bought the silvercrest one because i already have lots of parkside batteries and so far so good, i've vacuumed my tiny appartment(40 sq m) few times and the 8ah battery is still indicating full. Also it vacuums decently i'm not dissapointed, the light in the head is nice to see dust on floor.

[@BrokeLifeEU]

With the 8Ah on a 40 sq m space you could even vacuum on turbo mode from start to finish. I was honestly surprised at how good this thing was for the price. I always overlooked Silvercrest but in this case I gave it a go and I was far from disappointed.

[@thugpigeon8688]

good comparison seems to me Parkside is the most bang for the buck option here

[@BrokeLifeEU]

Thank you! Yes, the Parkside is a very good choice. Although I do not like noise and to me it is too noisy. I really love what they did with the Silvercrest and the Parkside batteries, that is a really solid idea if you have Parkside batteries and a fast charger.

[@express496]

@@BrokeLifeEU For 17€ that i got it, the Parkside one is phenomenal. It is literally better than my stupid 130€ Proscenic P10 that has worse suction and a single bloody 25V 2Ah battery that takes 2hrs to recharge. Just buy another one ay, well yes but its 60€ and only charges in the vaccum. I literally want to throw it out the window. i had a Parkside conversion planned for it but ofc it doesn't like the lower voltage. I really like the Silvercrest also because i have a few 4Ah batteries.

[@BrokeLifeEU]

@express496 The Silvercrest when you have multiple Parkside batteries is an excellent option for sure!

[@emiliodesalvo7024]

Today I bought the SHAZ 20 A1, even if I was a bit dubious. as the A1 version for Lidl is always the launch version, which can have problems that need to be ironed out. One hopes the SHAZ 20 does not have a lot of problems...

[@BrokeLifeEU]

I know what you mean but I don't think that is always the case. Sometimes the A1 ends up being the better option as the ones after it get the cost cutting measures. Have you already tried the vacuum and what do you think?

[@66272]

Nice… it is seem that silvercrest is good choice. The price is not that high and did the job. It will be interesting if you test Dyson. Thank you mate. 😊

[@BrokeLifeEU]

Thank you for watching! On the Dyson front I can't see that, waaay to expensive for this channel unfortunately...

[@danielpetkov1814]

Perfect

[@BrokeLifeEU]

Thank you!

[@HannaStokluska]

Hi, is there any chance you could check window cleaners? Thank you ;)

[@BrokeLifeEU]

Which ones do you have in mind? I don't mind you posting links at all if that is easier for you!

[@Failsafeman100]

Hahaha aw man, the Philips spitting the grains out everywhere. An effective cordless vacuum is a big engineering challenge it seems. Philips marketeers should've peeked at the Lidl guys' outsourcing homework before signing off on this thing!

[@BrokeLifeEU]

That Philips for that sort of price make my head hurt. It is unbelievable how they managed to make it so bad for that price. Had it been around the 150 euro mark, it would have been OK but at nearly twice that nobody should even consider it.

[@Failsafeman100]

@@BrokeLifeEU the sad thing is, it's such a trusted mark with the older population that it's probably selling really well. Philips stock prices are still healthy for some reason, even though it's been decades that the company is a fossil 😆

[@BrokeLifeEU]

You have basically described the reason for this Philips vacuum being bought. Sad indeed!

[@Failsafeman100]

@@BrokeLifeEU i dropped €279 on a slick looking Rowenta last year, that now needs weekly deep cleaning to even suck up household dust so you're not alone. Tempted to replace it with a Parkside Performance shop vac 😆

[@tominomaza]

Silvercrest is strong but brush doesnt touch on the hard floor, then old dust stays on the floor. To use on carpet is ok, its perfect for carpet, but not for hard floor. There is better option

[@BrokeLifeEU]

You are right, however it is quite powerful so I found that even if the brush does not touch the floor it does have sufficient power in order to suck up substantial dust from the floor. In terms of its performance on carpet I found it excellent. Not a bad vacuum at all considering the price I think.

[@mohamedfreson9965]

Je viens d'acheter le silvecrest,pour le prix,sa puissance est incroyable avec un moteur de 400watts,il peut rivaliser sans problème avec un dison 6 fois plus chers,je l'utilise avec une batterie 8ah, j'ai le temps d'aspirer mon rez de chaussée et en plus ma voiture.

[@BrokeLifeEU]

Je l'ai acheté parce que c'était une idée intéressante. Après l'avoir testé, j'ai été vraiment surpris et maintenant je l'utilise tout le temps. Je l'aime beaucoup et le prix est très bon !

[@DavSKRR]

J'hésite entre le parkside et le silvercrest 🤔

[@d4v1d0]

Can you check what kind of epa/hepa filter the silvercrest has? Maybe it's written on the box, i hope it's h13

[@BrokeLifeEU]

I do apologise for the late reply! Unfortunately the box was not near me at the time. This is what I found - HEPA-14-Filter. I hope that helps. As I understand it this is the better option between 13 and 14.

[@d4v1d0]

​@@BrokeLifeEU i bought it yesterday, in Italy at least the box says h13 , not bad at all!

[@BrokeLifeEU]

That's odd, on the website it is Hepa 14 as well. But 13 to 14 not much real world difference really. Did you manage to test it out already?

[@d4v1d0]

​@@BrokeLifeEU i just realized, look at the first image of ur video, the blue circle says "99,95% retention with hepa h13 filter"... i'm no expert, but this vacuum completely satisfies my needs for house cleaning, surely there are more famous brands that can do even better, but this one is already more than enough, plus i can use 2Ah battery to make it more lightweight for my gf, and switch from one battery to another and use a serious charger without having to wait 5 hours. Definitely worth those 129€

[@BrokeLifeEU]

@@d4v1d0 Haha yes I completely missed that. I looked it up on the Lidl.de website and there they claim it is a HEPA 14 filter but as I said 13 or 14 no real difference for home use to me. As per the batteries if one has a spare battery and real charger this thing is a game changer for its price!

[@andreabugatti6792]

I bought the Shaz A1 but I'm not satisfied because in boost mode the battery lasts 10 minutes and in Eco mode it sucks little and Works 35 minuts like a common vacuum cleaner with a smaller battery. moreover the brush does not rotate: in yours, Was the brush motorized?

[@BrokeLifeEU]

Yes on mine the brush is motorised and it does rotate as the vacuum is switched on. Indeed both the Turbo and Eco mode have a shorter run time than for example the Philips this was tested against, however with the Parkside batteries being the cheapest vacuum batteries I have come across I think that is a fair trade for me. With all of that said I think your unit might be defective unfortunately.

[@andreabugatti6792]

@@BrokeLifeEU I also think it's defective, however I decided to return it. Regarding the batteries, I have 5 that I use with various tools and I can say that they are very good, even in terms of their duration over the years

[@andreabugatti6792]

@@BrokeLifeEU they had to make a more balanced boost and echo: that is, a more powerful echo and a less powerful boost

[@katarinak-vi7xc]

Philips - how they exist still is completely unknown. Mediocre technical characteristics. Silvercrest is really good and parkside is mobile oriented.

[@BrokeLifeEU]

It absolutely boggles the mind how Philips sell this...

[@katarinak-vi7xc]

300e for item that after vacuuming releases everything back.

[@onefake]

The original Philips corporation hasn't manufactured home electronic goods for years. In fact they haven't manufactured almost anything for years at this point thanks to incredible incompetent mismanagement. But the brand name is still extremely recognisable, so it's licenced to others which use it to rebadge junk chinese crap, support it with decent marketing budgets and sell to unsuspecting customers.

[@BrokeLifeEU]

@@onefake To me it is still shocking that the Philips cost so much yet a vacuum from a supermarket is at least as good of not better.

[@fullgripp]

You should buy some broken Milwaukee drills and fix em for a video

[@BrokeLifeEU]

Solid idea! I was also looking in to that but would mean I would have to buy some Milwaukee batteries as well and that sounds a bit too expensive at the moment 😅

[@fullgripp]

@@BrokeLifeEU Myb rebuilding a battery too 🤔

[@BrokeLifeEU]

@fullgripf1 For sure at some point! Just need to save up for a spot welder. I did spend quite a lot for the new Parkside 12V stuff that Lidl have still not sent me😅

[@fullgripp]

@@BrokeLifeEU Gotchu

[@dadom85]

All three will last for 2 years

[@BrokeLifeEU]

That does not sound good at all... But in the end still a reason to go for the Philips. I have developed a true hatred for it, because of the high price and mediocre performance.

[@dadom85]

@@BrokeLifeEU i had electrolux two years and he is gone, same thing with gorenje /hisense after 2 years.Battery died.Original battery is expensive,it cost more than vacum cleaner and chinese does not last and doesnt have enough power

[@BrokeLifeEU]

@dadom85 Even for the battery alone the Silvercrest is a win in that category. At around €25 per 4Ah Parkside battery against around x3 or x4 times that for things such as the Philips for instance. I can’t justify that. But you know these days everything is made so it will break as soon as the warranty runs out…

[@SasaMic]

​@@BrokeLifeEU I totally agree. Engineered to fail. I have seen several of these types of vacuums die after a short time because of their batteries. Those with internal batteries are simply crap, and most people would have to pay a service to repair their battery packs, while the Silvercrest anyone can change with a different or new Parkside Battery.

[@i3looi2]

What the heck , PHILIPS !?

[@BrokeLifeEU]

My thoughts exactly!

[@Kruku666]

LOL isnt this same as SILVERCREST Zyklon 22,2 V SHAZ just with 20v parkside batery ? 0o

[@BrokeLifeEU]

Looks like it is, but I think the Parkside battery makes it a different beast as you could make use of your tool batteries and charger and not have to worry about the cordless part of it st all! I love this thing for the price that it was for sure!

[@Ohm7111]

No, look at the specifications. They look very similar, but the version with the integrated 22.2V battery has less than half the power. There's also a 29.6V version, which should be about the same as the 18V version (Parkside battery)
