AEG LX5 Total Home LX5-2-4DB, Bagless Vacuum Cleaner, Denim Blue, 700 W, 80 Decibeles

Brilliant all round but you may need an electrical extension because the tidy cable supplied isn’t very long. Washable filter a good extra. If your clumsy or you have big hands, it might not be for you as when picking up, the dust container can easily be caught and the Moter will end up dropping to the floor. Saying that, it does seem quite robust. Just needs getting used to. Gone the days of ear piercing vacuuming.

Good overall but negative points: cord is too short, dust gets stuck at the top of the filter and it won't come off when you empty the dirt, so it never looks clean. The hoover though compact, takes a lot more space than my Miele once in the cupboard... so it's a No from me!

Very poor.

Waited a bit long for the delivery, but it came earlier than the d-day.Works well, it's a bargain actually.Let's see how it performs in the long run.Not very loud.

This is quite a heavy cylinder vacuum cleaner, and exceptionally powerful too. It has a rotary power dial, and even on the lowest setting it was really difficult to make progress on rugs with a thick pile. Another issue is that the retractable mains lead is not over generous.On hard surfaces, laminate floors, and carpets with less pile it is absolutely brilliant, but my wife and I struggled against the suction to make progress on our thicker rugs. You get two small tools (crevice and upholstery) and two larger vacuum heads - one for solid floors, and one for carpets/rugs. All of these push on, and do not click into place, so you have to push them onto the extendable chrome pipe quite hard, or the suction can pull them off whilst you are vacuuming. This can make them difficult to remove after you have finished vaccuming, but hopefully they will become easier with use.In common with a lot of cylinder cleaners without rotating brush heads, the LX5 is not great at vacuuming up pet hair. The suction is there, but the vacuum heads tend to push it around into one large pile, and wont suck it up. I had to remove the flexible hose and suck up the collected pile separately.The design of the LX5 is great, although there is no on-board storage for the tools. The retractable lead mechanism works well too. The filters are easily accessible and can be washed, which is a big bonus. Emptying the generously sized dust cannister is simple, and mess free.I wouldnt recommend the LX5 for elderly users as I consider it a little too heavy, and too powerful for many of them to manage. Similarly I would advise anybody with limited strength in their arms/hands (arthritic conditions etc) to look elsewhere.I used the LX5 to vaccum my house less than an hour after vacuuming with my AEG rechargeable stick vacuum. The amount of hair and dirt it picked up was quite astonishing.Pricewise it is excellent value, although of course not as convenient to store, and not as easy to push around as a stick vacuum, or upright.I would recommend the LX5, especially if you want to ensure your carpets, rugs and floors are as clean as possible. However, do try before you buy if you are elderly, or have limited strength in your arms.

The media could not be loaded. I had high hopes for this vacuum cleaner but was quite disappointed. You get two vacuum clean heads and it was nice to see a sturdy metal tubing compared to plastic one that can break. However I found that the suction power was merely average and personally think it should be more powerful considering the price. The reel cord to retract the plug also isn’t very strong and it took a lot of coaxing to feed the wire back in. The bagless container Takes two hands to empty which isn’t a problem per se but more of an inconvenience. There is a dial on the unit to adjust the suitability of the vacuum to what you are cleaning but didn’t seem to make a huge difference. All in all I wouldn’t particularly recommend this but it does work okay

The basic vacuum cleaner is adequate but it is let down in several areas.There is no crevice tool or powered brush head.The main carpet head tends to draw out streaks of hair or fur, rather than sucking them up.It does have a strong suction whilst being pretty quiet. It is light to manoeuvre in all directions and comes with a long retractable flex. Unfortunately, these do not compensate for the other failings.

Very easy to use and light. Very powerful and quiet. Perfect vacuum cleaner for domestic use.
