QX6 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner

Our vacuum began to be too heavy for us to take upstairs. So I looked for a carpet sweeper however they do not work on hard floors. This is perfect as it goes from carpet to hard floor easily. I have to admit so far when I take the dust bin out I find it fiddly to refit it but I’ll get use to it. I do like the fact it will remain standing when you switch it off. The on/off switch is a bit high on the handle and I keep accidentally switching it off in the middle of vacuuming, once more I’ll get use to it. I now wouldn’t want to be without this wonderful invention. It has great suction. We use it everyday for a quick flit around. Brilliant. I found most of these cordless vacuums far too expensive but this one was within our budget. As it is so good I am pleased I didn’t fork out for the hugely expensive vacuums. It very light with great suction, perfect. Well done AEG.

Struggles to remove all dust from our ceramic floors, good for carpets and handy as a hand held hoover.

Easy to follow instructions to put together. It looks good and is light and easy to manoeuvre.
Stands on it's own without falling over or can be placed in the charging station when finished using.
It has good suction power and a handy light up head to help you see any bits on the floor. Has a good battery life which is enough to do my whole house. A full charge takes 3 and a half hours.
Lots of accessories for hard to reach areas, including a long extension that can reach the ceilings, it also lays flat enough to go under furniture.
Very useful detachable hand held cleaner, great for the car or stairs.

The dust box is quite small but I empty it after each use so this is not a problem. I like the washable filters.
Cleaning the brush is really easy and is a great feature to have. Just press the button and it automatically clears and vacuums up any hair that's tangled around the brush roll, this worked really well with all the long hair that got tangled on mine.

Doesn't store all the accessories on board.

I genuinely can't believe I'm saying this about a vacuum cleaner, but this is a marvelous bit of kit. This is perfect for keeping on top of the cleaning especially a daily whiz around the kitchen to pick up breakfast crumbs, fluff and cat fur. In the upright mode the hinge goes 90 degrees so it can go flat and get right under the table and chairs. In the handheld mode it is easy detach the upright fitting and isn't too heavy. This is great for the car. The battery life seems very long - I can do the kitchen, front room and downstairs toilet and it hasn't run out of power. There are loads of attachments for the unit in handheld mode (most of them I don't know what they are for!) and there is even one in the back of the upright handle!, I've only used one attachment - easy to fit on and did the job. Emptying is straightforward - it takes a little muscle memory to pull it apart with the right amount of force, but not too much so the contents scatter everywhere! Getting it into the charging dock is a bit fiddly because the vacuum head hinge is very flexible and so it flops around when you are trying to get it into the dock and the dock is quite light so it moves around - that said it is not a massive negative.
