Although Philips is a Fortune 500 brand with a history of more than 120 years, in the course of more than 120 years, water purification is not the main business of Philips, or even a small branch of its diversified business, and the production form of its water purifiers is mainly outsourcing. "Rather than blind selection, it is better for the brand to help you choose" is a true portrayal of Philips' production model, in which the foundry selected for the water purifier is mainly Fujian Jianlin, Bailin and other manufacturers with strong manufacturing strength, and the product quality is quite guaranteed.
 
Compared with some foreign brands that are "not adaptable", Philips claims that the water purifier it launched is "tailor-made for Chinese consumers", and from the perspective of product materials and filtration solutions, Philips' water purifier is indeed more down-to-earth. The overall water quality of China's tap water is still a lot of gap compared with developed regions such as Europe, America and Japan, if a foreign imported water purifier is not suitable for China's water quality, then no matter how famous its brand is, it is difficult to be qualified in the eyes of Chinese consumers, and the advantages of Philips localization are also reflected.
 
Philips' water purifiers are mainly based on RO reverse osmosis technology, including PRO, WP, AUT and other series of models. Although there are great differences in positioning and function between different series, all series use the classic filtration scheme of five stages or compound four stages, and the product suitability is guaranteed. PRO series can be regarded as a cost-effective series, the suffix number of the specific model represents the water purification flux, such as PRO75 and other low-flux products are not worth buying, the most recommended in the PRO series is PRO400, the price is less than 3000 yuan, the water flow rate reaches 400G, the official claim is to Shanghai tap water as the standard, its built-in RO membrane total water purification is as high as 19000L, of course, the tap water quality in Shanghai is relatively good, this value can only be said to have a certain reference significance.
 
In addition to the brand reputation, quality control is also the reason why Philips is favored by consumers, although the production form is OEM, but Philips control the quality is still in place, and the overall workmanship is no less than the original imported products. The top shell of PRO400 adopts the piano paint process, the surface treatment is smooth and delicate, and the simplicity reveals the unique texture of the metal material, and the internal workmanship of the machine is also quite exquisite, the one-time stamping and forming waterway pipe is very compact, compared with the traditional hose connection waterway, the integrated waterway can significantly reduce the number of joints, reduce the risk of water leakage of the water purifier, and the CNC treated wiring street, neat and consistent wire direction, also show the consistent style of Philips as a big brand.
 
The WP series represented by WP4190 is regarded as a mid-to-high-end work, on the basis of PRO400, the top Dow RO membrane of the United States has been upgraded, and the water purification flux has been increased to 500G, which is enough to meet the direct drinking water needs of a family of four, but the pure wastewater ratio is still stuck at 1:1, and the overall upgrade range is limited. As for AUT, it is the most proud series of Philips, its representative model AUT6010/10, adopts a new integrated appearance design, the overall appearance is more simple and fashionable, the water purification flow rate has been increased to 600G, and the pure wastewater rate has also reached the current first-class level of 2:1 in the industry, but there is still a certain gap compared with the pure wastewater ratio of A.O. Smith up to 3:1.
 
In addition to the excellent function, the flagship product must have put a lot of thought into the details, AUT6010/10 built-in "real-time monitoring of water leakage probe" function, when detecting a water leak in the surrounding environment, it will automatically beep and cut off the water channel, reminding users to eliminate water leakage danger in time; "Small water pump shock absorption structure" is also Philips' unique patented technology, many RO reverse osmosis water purifiers on the market need the pressure output of the booster pump to achieve a large flow of water, and the booster pump will inevitably make noise when working, Philips will act on the rigid connection between the booster pump and the fuselage, which can effectively absorb the vibration generated by the booster pump, thereby reducing the noise level of the machine.
 
In terms of price, Philips's products are generally priced high, and the flagship product AUT6010/10 has excellent comprehensive performance, but the price is nearly 8,000 yuan, which can be purchased by consumers who pursue high-end; The price of the mid-to-high-end model of the WP series is also about 6000 yuan, which is limited compared to PRO400, so it is not recommended to buy; Pro400 is actually the most cost-effective choice to buy, its water purification performance is very balanced, and the price of less than 3000 yuan is also quite close to the people.
