What a thing of beauty
5/5
I must confess, I have been a big fan of the most popular vacuum brands in the world since I got one many many moons ago. So much so that everytime I've had to replace a vacuum (there haven't been many such occasions), I've just gone with the same brand forever. Since they stopped doing normal corded vacuums (there's one or two in the market now - not much choice), my de facto choice was to move to the same brand cordless vacuums. But the problem with the cordless ones is the battery - they don't last as long, especially when you want to do the whole house in one go. It'll do one floor just fine - but three floors and two set of staircases is just not happening.
And so I bit the bullet and bought another one of the same brand just weeks ago, and its just fine. And then the opportunity came up to try the AEG - and I had to give it a go. Now I have 3 cordless vacuums, one on each floor, with AEG on the graound floor with the most footfall.
So do I like it - yes, I absolutely love it. It makes vacuuming a breeze. Its got very powerful suction that works wonders on hard floors (not so much on carpets though). But since my ground floor has the kitchen, living room and a large hallway which are carpet free, the AEG 8000 series works like a treat. On a single charge it will do the whole ground floor and will have plenty of battery left for me to do the staircase. Not much of an issue with the pet hairs either (we have 2 cats), sucks them in easily. It is also asthetically very pleasing - the white and black colours go well with the white walls of the house and the soft edges and blunt shape makes it easily blend in with the surroundings.
Oh, and the light is a bonus!
