AEG AL61A4UG 6000 ANIMAL

The vacuum cleaner has many accessories, which means that you can use something suitable for every kind of job. We have 4 dogs in the house, 2 of which are long-haired shelties. That, in combination with 2 wheelchairs, means that there is a lot of junk in the house. The vacuum cleaner flies through the laminate, no problem at all. The dry-running mat in the entire hall is a problem for many vacuum cleaners. The hair of the shelties is difficult to get out. The turbo brush does not get a grip on the hair here either. However, the separate accessories intended for furniture do and no vacuum cleaner has yet achieved this. The accessory may not be specifically intended for a type of carpet, but we think it is a winner. The only thing we lack is a storage option for all kinds of accessories together and a clearer manual for all separate accessories.

Vacuum cleaner works well, it also has a good reach. I can do the entire downstairs from one point. But ... carrying it may cause a problem: It is equipped with a handle, which is attached to the part of the vacuum cleaner with the dust collection bin. This collection bin is easy to remove with a click mechanism, which is also fine. But ... if the vacuum cleaner is stored vertically (e.g. in a work cupboard) it seems logical to lift it by the handle. It also seems logical to carry it that way, e.g. via the stairs to another floor. However: The click mechanism with which the dust collection bin is attached to the rest of the vacuum cleaner can open when carrying it vertically by the handle on contact with e.g. your knee, so that the wearer still holds the collection bin and the rest of the vacuum cleaner falls down. Something like that happened to me, so now I really have to pay attention so that I don't touch the click mechanism, hm. A bit of a design flaw. Otherwise a good vacuum cleaner.

First impression when unpacking the vacuum cleaner is that it is well and compactly packed in the box.

This version of the series comes with many extra accessories / mouthpieces etc that are made for different purposes. A total of 6 different mouthpieces are included. Including a parquet brush, ordinary brush and a turbo brush, but also a mouthpiece for sofas etc. to brush cat or dog hair remove.

The handle of the vacuum cleaner is a fairly long handle that fits well in the hand. The turbo brush falls on me a bit against actually, the brushes that are in it only protrude a millimeter or one and a half from the housing. This could have been a bit more for me.

The build quality looks good. The dust collector is not super big. So regular emptying would then be useful. The cord is long enough to reach everywhere. The length of the tube is adjustable, even the suction power is adjustable with a slider on the top of the vacuum cleaner.

I would have liked a separate handle for lifting on the vacuum cleaner, because it is not on it and there there are no other handles available to lift it with. The only handles on it are all for the filters (there are 3 filters on it) The collection container also has a handle, but this is not suitable for holding the soft vacuum cleaner. to lift. You have to click the collection bin firmly, otherwise if you grab it there, you have the bin loose in your hands.

There are plenty of filters available, at the back of the vacuum cleaner, at the bottom and at the dust collection container.

The vacuum cleaner is also reasonably quiet, quieter than an older type of vacuum cleaner. The suction power is not that bad, I I wanted something a little stronger myself. This is because I have different types of carpet at home. But then I have to also say today's vacuum cleaners are being made more and more economical and mainly intended for wooden floors created. And then of course you lose suction.

The various extras that come with it, especially the mouthpieces, are handy and click on the stem or handle. You have a variety of mouthpieces that come with it, whether you will ever use them all is the question and there is no space to click them all on the vacuum cleaner to store, but that is not the intention.

Emptying the container is easy and fast, cleaning the filters is also easy, they must be regularly (hangs after use) must be cleaned, but are all good and easily accessible.

In general I am satisfied with it, and would also recommend it to family and acquaintances if it came up.
