AEG 8000 Series AP81A25ULT Cordless Vacuum Cleaner review

Today, I will be reviewing the AEG 8000 Series AP81A25ULT Cordless Vacuum Cleaner - Bronze.  I needed a new vacuum cleaner since I moved to a new property.

Pros:

• Agile in vacuum mode
• Decent price
• Decent battery
• Light at the end to see dark spaces

Cons:

• Heavy to use one-handed, and if you're trying to vacuum the ceiling
• The trash bin is tricky to open

The AEG 8000 costs £390 from AO.

I was initially considering a Dyson cordless cleaner.  I had worked for Curry's before and liked Dyson's lightweight nature.  They have a reputation for being one of the best cleaners.

However, the AEG gives Dyson a serious run for the money.

The vacuum picks up dirt quite well.  It is agile when vacuuming the floor.  However, it is not so comfortable to do one-hand operations for cleaning ceilings and other tight spaces.

Although it seems like a gimmick, it allows me to see when vacuuming in dark spaces.

The interface of the vacuum is pretty simple, too.  There are only two buttons.  One is to turn it on, and the other is to adjust its suction strength.  The battery indicator isn't too granular and can only measure the remaining power to the nearest 30%

The cleaner also has a "tree" to charge and hold all the accessories. This is rather neat and handy for small-house dwellers.

However, releasing and reinstalling the vacuum cleaner's bin can be a bit tricky. In addition, you have to touch the dust a bit when removing the filter "cap" for the bin.

Overall, the device is a good one at a decent price. Its pros greatly outweigh its cons.
