QX8-1-45CR QX8 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner with Detachable Handheld Unit

We was looking for a lightweight vacuum as my mum suffers with spine issues. This one fits the bill perfectly as a lot have the motor in the handle adding to extra arm weigh that she can’t lift (the brand with the fin).

Only negatives I would say is the suction power in handheld is a bit lower than expected but ok for fine bits. And it would of been nice to have a light on the front like the same models CX7 without the power roller.

That said the power roller is perfect for hard floors but not sure how long that will last because it’s not available as a spare roll to replace a worn one ?

All in all it’s a great little machine that hopefully AEG will keep in its lineup and improve upon with more power less noise and features while keeping its lovely light weight design.

This is the first cordless that has excellent suction...
Easy to charge with stand..

Slick design means it tucks away neatly into the corner of the room. (No need to clamber into the under stairs cupboard each time I need to use it!) Effortless and very comfortable to use: lightweight, agile and smooth running. Very efficient and convenient for pet owners. Picks up brilliantly. Easy emptying. Compact design means it’s perfect for daily use in kitchen and lounge. Useful attachments making it versatile and ideal for awkward places and hard to reach corners. Highly recommended!

The QX8 cleaner is modern and well-designed and sits inconspicuously on its stand which makes it easy to just grab and use when you only have a few minutes. It can make a cleaning difference in little time meaning you use it more often than you would a conventional vacuum. No unwinding of cables and connecting hoses. It is relatively light and flexible and glides over harder floors picking up crumbs and dust on first pass; you can see these disappear so it is clearly working and it does get near to the edges. Struggles more on carpets and rough pile rugs but I was impressed with its performance on hard/wooden floors (for which I think it is mainly designed). It seems relatively light and weight is well distributed if this is a concern. The head turns very well and can go almost horizontal allowing you under tables so it’s easy to use throughout the house. My sense is it won’t sit upright without support so you need to hold on to the handle while moving furniture if you need. I don’t know how the padded roller would handle really wet or sticky materials if it was accidentally used on these but I did use it around the kitchen on limestone tiles and it did OK on crumbs but it doesn’t pick up/polish off dried on bits of food from a floor. I never ran out of charge. The small vacuum detaches easily and can be used as a good handheld. I used it at first without clipping to the smaller head it comes with and this seemed fine and has some power and it works well on furnishings, but when used with the very powerful beating brush the difference was clear. The (small) dust canister does fill quickly but is easy to empty and clean the filter and it all clips back together firmly further illustrating the design and engineering quality of the machine. It comes packaged in a small box and is easy to assemble.

Dusting and vacuuming isn’t really my thing but all in all I’ve been impressed with what this does and would recommend it highly.
