The eye also wants something: and that is partly why I am a fan of the AEG 8000 ULTIMATE stick vacuum cleaners. No frills to distract attention, but subtle colors and a sleek design. In addition, they are very manoeuvrable, easy to use and super practical.
Practical and smooth vacuuming I gave the charging station a nice spot in the living room and started on the first meters. The fact that you can attach the accessories to the charging station is very nice. You get used to everything, but it remains great, as manoeuvrable as this vacuum cleaner is. I glide smoothly along my table legs and lay the vacuum cleaner completely flat to vacuum under my dresser. In addition, I see exactly what I encounter through the LED lighting in the floor nozzle. This is for me the first stick vacuum that I test with an adjustable tube. I'm quite tall, so this is really a relief for me. The click system also works smoothly, so I regularly grab the vacuum cleaner as a petty thief. In addition, I come across the - to me - well-known brush roll clean function from AEG on the floor nozzle. By pressing this pedal and switching on the vacuum cleaner, the small blade cuts off all jammed hairs. This is a hygienic way to clean the brush and by doing this regularly I prevent the suction power from diminishing.
Clear display with auto mode and good suction power The display is sleek and well-arranged with little fuss. There are only 2 buttons on it that make the vacuum cleaner easy to operate and understand. With one button I control the suction power and the other is the on/off button. The vacuum cleaner has 4 settings: low, medium, turbo and automatic. Actually, I always vacuum on automatic, so that the suction power adapts to the moment I vacuum my carpet. I haven't needed the turbo yet. I have nothing to complain about the suction power in the auto mode, it is top notch. I also keep a close eye on the battery life, thanks to the battery indicator, so that there are no surprises.
Parquet and mini turbo brush With the bronze model from the AEG 8000 ULTIMATE series you will receive an extra parquet and mini turbo brush. I don't have any pets myself, but I do have hard floors. That is why the parquet brush is a very nice addition for me in terms of accessories. I use the mini turbo brush, even though I don't suffer from animal hairs on my furniture. It is a replacement for a furniture nozzle, but with rotating brushes. As a result, it picks up dirt such as crumbs very well, which makes it super useful.

We come from a Philips stick vacuum cleaner, at the time 350 euros (from memory). Has now given up after about 4 years and has been repaired in the meantime, just before the warranty expired: there was an error (E - message) with the brush head. So it has done it again for about 2 years and now occasionally gives electric shocks when used. No more Philips for us, especially now that there is so much choice in this price range.
This AEG has a good suction power (170AW, as far as this information is easy to find), is conveniently placed on its stand and the hairs around the brush can be cut by pressing a pedal on the mouthpiece. Ideal! Because that was a big drawback with our Philips. We actually had to remove the hairs from the mouthpiece every day, because this really reduced the efficiency. The LED on the front is ideal and in our eyes indispensable. There are always darker parts or corners in the house, where you can now lighten the dust. So you can see with your own eyes that it also gets clean in those places.
The battery life is also excellent. Of course, such a stick vacuum only lasts a few minutes on turbo mode, but if you vacuum a little more often (tip!), you really don't need the turbo mode that often. We never vacuum for an hour, so I can't say whether it really lasts an hour on 1 battery charge. In any case, we can vacuum our house of 170m2, without any problems on the 'auto' position.
Looked at and doubted between this AEG, the Dyson V12 (actually really too expensive...), the Samsung Jet series (70, 75 or 90 - is all the same motor, only the accessories are different) and we have had the Rowenta 14.60 AQUA.
The latter will be returned to Rowenta today (90 days trial offer) because it is really too heavy. More than half a kilo heavier than this AEG, which you notice when you vacuum for a longer period of time. The AQUA part was also not great and left streaks. Nice gimmick, but nothing more than that. Also vacuuming backwards (retrieving the vacuum cleaner) was not an option here. The sucked up just fell back out when moving forward. Something that our Philips has also been experiencing lately.
The Samsung Jet series - and then e.g. the Jet 75 Pro with mop function - was actually rejected, because we do not believe that rotating pads can clean more than 1m2 at a time. Unfortunately there is not much to be found about it. The Samsung also does not have the handy option to cut hairs that are twisted around the brush and the LED light on the front is missing: that is really very handy and we also had it on our Philips. Our mother-in-law has the Jet 75 and we notice side-by-side that it is less comfortable to hold and also feels a bit heavier.
Unfortunately, Dyson is just too expensive and I'm not sure it will last longer in years of life, for example.

Recently bought this vacuum cleaner at home. Because the sockets are in awkward places, so that I always struggled with the cord with the previous vacuum cleaner, I was now specifically looking for a cordless vacuum cleaner and preferably also bagless. I am very satisfied with the vacuum cleaner. It cleans well and I like the sound. The vacuum cleaner is very manoeuvrable and because of the light on the front you can also see what you are doing when you vacuum underneath something. The vacuum cleaner has an automatic mode where it determines the vacuuming power itself and 3 normal modes. You can easily switch between these. Because my husband and I have a lot of difference in length, the extendable option of the handle was really a plus for us.
You charge the vacuum cleaner by placing it on the charging station. This is a simple operation that requires hardly any force. You click it into place with a magnet and the vacuum cleaner then remains firmly in place and charges in the meantime. What I do find a downside is that the vacuum cleaner cannot stand on its own. If you want to have your hands free while vacuuming, you should place it on the base, let it rest against something or put it down.
Many attachments are included for the vacuum cleaner. Due to the limited manual, it is not entirely clear to us what you can best use for what. 1 of the large vacuum cleaner heads has a special button on it that you can push. The brush in the vacuum cleaner head then spins very hard and all hair and other dirt are quickly removed from the brush. Ideal in a household with a Labrador that moults regularly.
Because the manual is limited, we had to find out how exactly you can empty the collection container the first time.
