AEG Straight Suction Cylinders

[glenste]

Does anyone have any experience of the above? Bagged or Bagless. I want to get a straight suction cleaner and have looked at the obvious choices of Miele, Dyson and Sebo, but there's something quite appealing about the Aeg designs. Has anyone got one or used one? How do they compare?

Personally I'd go for Miele or Sebo they have s better track record. I believe AEG are made in China

I like the look of the AEG vacs too but someone on here (UK member) had one a long time ago and complained that the floor heads aren't well made. Also the grid inside the bag chamber over the bag for insulation is liable to snap. Its a real shame though because I trialled one in John Lewis a few years ago and they're super quiet - quieter than Miele.

AEG may have improved though. I love the Ultra One mini vac - great space efficient design.

Also bags for the AEG are difficult to get - apparently.

Id hold out for the SEBO E Airbelt though - it has a bigger dust bag capacity and looks to be quite good. Failing that, a Miele S6 or S8.

Hotpoint Trolley vacs are good though.

I Suggest Dyson is the one of the best Straight suction machines I have used.aeg hasn't got a very good track record

Id love to know where you get your evidence from suggesting AEG doesn't get a good track record.

Well an old customer report Asked people how many people got their vacuun cleaner repaired and Electrolux had a lot of repairs.

I have heard so many complaints about AEG. But as you say they may have improved. The UltraOne is a nice looking machine. But personally I'd go Miele or Sebo its a safer bet. And yes if you can wait to February the Sebo E series would definitely be worth considering!

 

[marcusprit]

I do like Dyson uprights but I'm not so convinced by their cylinder cleaners.

 

[sebo_fan]

February? Well the model is about to hit SEBO UK in a couple of weeks. You might be able to buy an E -series Airbelt sooner than you think.

Well, since you don't appear to give an indication of how "old" the report is that suggests Electrolux is poor, Which in 2012 and 2013 rated SEBO number 1 for uprights, Miele number 1 for cylinders and Dyson 'below average" for reliability. I don't remember seeing AEG being listed primarily because the company in the UK have yet to sell as many vacuums compared to longer standing brands.

 

[dys0nb0y]

Dyson canisters are fantastic just as good as their uprights.

 

[dys0nb0y]

Electrolux and aeg are the same company.i Have had a AEG upright I had to have 3 replacements before I had one in good condition end up getting rid of that one as It started to break.

 

[marcusprit]

Well I'll take your word for it then.

 

[sebo_fan]

Yes but the question that Mark posted initially RELATES TO AEG CYLINDER VACS - not uprights.

 

[dys0nb0y]

it was an example

 

[sebo_fan]

Ditto my Which report data. At least that can be identified

 

[marcusprit]

I know their power nozzle was very unreliable. John Lewis don't stock that model now. Or it may have been discontinued .
