VX6-2-CB-P VX6 Bagged Vacuum Cleaner Canister

This replaced a Bosch vacuum that must be 15 years old and had worn out. Got a good review with Which so thought this was the one for us without spending a fortune.
The Bosch was well built but heavy, the AEG lighter but has more plastic, not a bad thing at all. Suction is great, we have two cats so this was one of the reasons for buying it and is really gets rid of the fur.

A few negatives, there is no brush supplied with the tools which makes getting to cobwebs or cleaning the tops of the skirting boards harder and there is no internal storage for the tools in the machine, only a clip on the hose. The other negative as the lack of a handle to lift in up with the hose attached, there is only the handle on the end.

This light and comfortable vacuum cleaner, really left me speechless! Very comfortable to use, allows me to adjust the long bar so that I do not have to bend when using it. It goes anywhere, under the sofa, the bed, all the nasty spots are clean now! Last but not least, it is so powerful I cannot use it on maximum power otherwise I would not be able to move it forward!

This has just been used for the first time. It’s very flimsy and plasticky. The instructions on a sheet of paper are only useful for lining the cats litter tray. No proper instruction book or spare cleaner bag. On our carpets it’s impossible to move unless you dial it down to minimum suction. I could lie on the floor with a straw in my mouth and suck up more dust off the carpet. I would rather have given £100 to charity than have wasted my money on this. I’m shoving it in the spare room for use when I’m desperate if my Henry breaks. I wanted something lighter to use as I’m older and disabled. If my husband hadn’t destroyed the box it came in I’d be returning it.
How this got a good review off Which is beyond me !!!

The printed sheet you provide with this vacuum cleaner as instructions is woefully inadequate and confusing. Whoever wrote them was entirely ill-equipped for the task. Please revise them and add a few words to accompany the diagrams, even if only online.
