This is a an excellent vacuum cleaner,very powerful suction and excellent pick up. Only one small problem is that it is fairly heavy and the run time is about 40 minutes . I am so impressed that I have ordered another battery so that I can run it for The whole house making my mains cleaner redundant!!

Great vaccum, quick silent, good suction, pretty light and very easy to use in any way.

Great Product. Easy to use, good quality compared to our previous Dyson. Just push the 'on' button and off you go without the need to hold down the trigger like our previous hoover. it is slightly heavier, but it just glides around our wooden floors without any effort. Put into Auto mode and it moves through the various suctions modes depending on your floor type and dirt level. My only criticism is that you can only charge it on the base station. But hey ho, the battery lasts to clean the whole house.

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!

I've had another well-known vacuum brand since 2007; it was refurbished when I bought it but has served me well. However, it's huge, takes up a lot of space, and the model is nearly 18 years old! Living with a house rabbit also means frequent vacuuming due to fluff, straw and hay...it's not his fault. A hand-held vacuum has made sense for a long time, and after finally making the commitment, I wouldn't go back. The AEG 8000 is so easy to pull out from the cupboard for a quick tidy-up, which means you end up vacuuming more often because it's not a pain to get out. So instead of once a week, it's become daily, or every other day! Unboxing was easy, and it went together with no problem; using it for the first time on a small patch of carpet that – to the eye – looked spotless, wow. The amount it picked up was quite amazing. Even if your carpet looks clean, the AEG 8000 somehow sucks stuff up from the depths below. You can only charge it by fixing it onto the wall mount, which may not work for everyone and means the vacuum sticks out a little from the wall. But in a cupboard with power, it's okay. It would be nice to have the option like a cordless drill where you could just charge the battery pack on its own. Also, the nozzles are rectangular, so one thing I found a faff was vacuum seal bags. It works, but it's not ideal as you feel like you're forcing the nozzle onto something that just won't fit. It would also be nice if it came with a few more accessories. Unfortunately, in standard form, it's only ideal for carpets; you have to buy a car kit to get in all the nooks and crannies in a vehicle, something most uprights just come with as standard. For a two-bed house, this is all the vacuum you could ever need; it makes me wonder why I kept my massive old upright for so long. The AEG 8000 will definitely replace it.

First of all, it came in a nice packing and it was easy to assamble. It took me a bit to figure out how to change the nozzles though (it has a buttom that you need to press). It is the most powerful vacuum cleaner I have ever had offering an amazing suction power, even better than the corded vacuum cleaner I had in the past. We are a couple and live in a 1 bedroom flat so it is more than enough for clean our full house in one go and it still has battery for another one! Recently I cut my partner's hair on the bathroom so you can imagine how dirty and full of hair it was, and with this vacuum I was able to clean it in 2 minutes (instead of the brushing for 10 minutes I have always done). So I am extremely happy with this purchase and I highly recommend you buying this if looking for a powerful but light to carry cordless vacuum cleaner!
