AEG8000 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner AP81AB25UG, Powerful Cordless Vacuum Cleaner with High Suction Power, One Charge for the Whole Home, Petpro+ Nozzle for Animal Hair, 25.2v, Urban Grey

Very convenient and works well. Dust collector very small and a bit fiddly to refit. Brush cleaner device doesn’t really work. These are only minor niggles. Every time I use it I think, glad I bought one of these!

Update after 8 months - I have finally put this scandalously dreadful thing in the bin. It has packed up up completely and I am only not returning it because I do NOT want to give house room to a replacement. This is the most appalling waste of a large amount of money. Do not buy.The good - it is quiet and powerful in use on carpet - when it works. It seems like a quality build. Goes together well. It cleans rugs and mats really well without attempting to eat them. It does get hairs wrapped around the brush but it mostly ends up in the middle of the brush bar where it’s easier to remove and it doesn’t snarl the workings which is a problem I have had with other brands.I love the light on the front of the brush head and you can really see what you’re doing.Lots of tools.The bad - everything about it is faffy and goes wrong.It comes with a big heavy post that you have to attach it to in order to charge it. It is fiddly to attach the vacuum cleaner to as well. There are fittings on this ugly post that you can hang the half dozen brushes and nozzles it comes with on. But then you have a big, ugly, cumbersome thing and unless you have a utility room or a big cupboard under the stairs with plug sockets in then you are going to have this monstrosity in your living room or kitchen.The instructions are execrable - pale little line drawings that don’t tell you anything you cannot already see. No words. Same manual for several different models.The main brush head fitting does not snap into locked position so it dangles and waggles about as you are carrying it. And you cannot stand it up even if you lean it against something.It is not easy to take apart the tube segments.The extendable pole has to be put back in factory position every time you charge it.The dirt reservoir is very small so you have to empty it every 5 minutes.Emptying it is very messy and it is difficult to get the reservoir back on. Many times I think I have but it falls off again.The filters need constant cleaning and you have to take them out every time you remove the reservoir so you have to get dust everywhere. Even so, most of the time there is a warning light on it saying the filter needs cleaning!It is not good at picking up bits of grit and cat litter off a hard floor. You think it has but then it dumps it all back down again. So you need to go over the hard floor with a broom afterwards. To be fair all this type of cordless vacuum I have tried has similar problems with gritty bits on hard floors. So you end up using a broom, brush, dustpan and the vacuum which is annoying.The tools look good - again- but are fiddly and fragile and break as soon as you put them to their intended use.The price!This has all the hallmarks of so many products that are designed by men for use by women and are not properly tested at a prototype stage. This is inexcusable in something this price and from a supposedly prestige brand.It is all style over substance.If I had paid for this I would be returning it.My other stick vacuum is an unbranded Chinese thing that cost less than a hundred pounds and is much better designed and easier to use, if no more effective.This AEG model battery does not hold a charge any better than the cheap Chinese one.

It cleans well. Nice product

Very versatile great features

The media could not be loaded. This is no my first AEG vacume but it is by far my favourite one I have had. I'm glad I choose to try this as it's a definite upgrade on my previous vacume.The bix arrived and it was quite large I actually expected the vaccume to already be assembled how ever the vacume and charging stand was in quite a few pieces that required some assembly. There are detailed pictured Instructions provided which were easy to follow and work out. The only confusing part was thebinstructions also incuded information about additional extra pieces that can be purchase seperate so i was a bit xonfused at forat as thort i had a couple of parts missing but then i realised. The vaccume was very easy to assemble once all parts were unpacked very strait forward everything just really slotted and clipped together no major problems.The vaccume has a good bit of weight to it alot heavier than my previous cordless vacume however this isn't an issue for me if you have bad wrists or hands the weight could be a problem for you as the battery is attached to the handle the vaccume is very top heavy.The suction power on this vaccume is brilliant I must add I have 4 cats (who shed) a 5y.o who loves to make a mess and I am very happy with the power of this vacume to clean up after themI find if I vacume daily its a quick jon just a light run over the carpet however if I leave the vacuuming a few days then I need to use the highest setting or even get my stron corded vacume out to give a good deep hoover. But if keep ontop of it with the daily run over then this vaccume is more than enough.It is very easy to use it has a power button on the top to turn it on and off then a second button that goes thru the low medium high auto modes.I have added a video to show these.the vacume goes from carpet to wood floor to tiles very smoothly.I find the benefit of cordless will speed up time it takes to vacume as don't have to change plugs going between rooms. And this vacume is sleek and thin design helps get under furniture better and nips round corners smoothly.It's easy to empty after use you just pull off the container that is at the top near the name it pulls forward and unclipped itself. You pull out the top cover and just empty it in the bin then it just pushes back on the vacume to re-attatch it can be a bit fiddly the first time you do it but it's simple after that.After use i aleays stand it back in the charging stand and re-charge it starit back up.Charging doesn't take too long a think it took a few hours to fill it full for its first charge but it takes less than a hour to fill back up after I have used it I find it easier this way to just keep it full so it doesn't run out mid use.Great vacume highly recommended even great for house with pets.
