Keep the accessories of the AEG AP81A25COM 8000 ULTIMATE stick vacuum neatly together with the practical charging dock. The stick vacuum includes many accessories, including a mini turbo brush made for pet hairs. It also includes a parquet brush that's shaped like a soft roller and made for delicate floors. You can easily and hygienically use your foot to switch them with the click system. The vacuum has an auto function, so you don't have to adjust the suction power manually. Are you moving from your parquet floor to the carpet? The vacuum automatically adjusts the suction power to it. The battery of the vacuum is fully charged in 2.5 hours.

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.

Our best buy at the moment
LED light on the front
Charging station is handy (stays in place here)
Battery is replaceable (possibly useful for the future)
The receptacle is a bit clumsy
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.

Perfect vacuum cleaner if you have pets.
VERY MANEUVERABLE
PERFECTLY CLEAN
HEAVY
The perfect vacuum cleaner if you have pets. Ideal with all attachments. The small attachment for the sofa works very well, in no time the entire sofa is clean, really all hair disappears like snow for the kiss. The special attachments for the PVC / laminate floor and for the carpet / rug / doormats also work perfectly, the vacuum cleaner sucks up all dirt and hair with ease, the different attachments help with this. The only drawback is that the vacuum cleaner is quite heavy and that the battery runs out relatively quickly. You just don't have to vacuum the whole house in one go. The vacuum cleaner is very manoeuvrable, the LED light on the 2 large attachments is also ideal for the dark corners. All in all, especially if you have pets, a must!
