AEG VX8‑2 vacuum cleaner test

Test results

Test results AEG VX8-2-OEKO

When test­ing on car­pet, we had to seri­ous­ly lis­ten to deter­mine whether the device worked or not. If you reduce the suc­tion pow­er so that the brush does not stick to the floor, then the vac­u­um clean­er will work no loud­er than the video card. Thus, while you remove dust and hair, you can talk, lis­ten to music or watch TV in peace. You can clean at any time with­out dis­turb­ing the neigh­bors — even in the mid­dle of the night.

We do clean

The max­i­mum lev­el of pow­er con­sump­tion mea­sured by us dur­ing tests was 700 watts. Nev­er­the­less, the VX8‑2 does its job well: after sev­er­al pass­es, it cleans the car­pet by 82 per­cent, it col­lects 99 per­cent of “test debris” from a hard sur­face. Dis­ad­van­tages appear when the test con­di­tions become more com­pli­cat­ed: only 35 per­cent of the garbage can be removed by a vac­u­um clean­er from a deep gap. Due to the above results, the VX8 can only be clas­si­fied as aver­age in terms of per­for­mance, but it still scored 91 per­cent­age points in the cor­re­spond­ing cat­e­go­ry.

Not for climbing stairs

In the rest of the test cat­e­gories, the VX8‑2 shows only minor flaws: it lacks a built-in acces­so­ry com­part­ment. In addi­tion, the range (11.2 meters) here is only large, not huge. The weight of the vac­u­um clean­er is per­haps the most impor­tant argu­ment that does not speak in its favor. The small VX8‑2 weighs a whop­ping 7.8kg, the fourth heav­i­est vac­u­um clean­er we’ve test­ed. When mov­ing the device on the same plane, this is still not so notice­able, but if you have to move it from place to place many times, soon­er or lat­er the weight will make itself felt. The vol­ume of the 3.5‑liter dust con­tain­er is also below aver­age.

Alternatives

Siemens VSQ5X1230

Our old rank­ing leader will cost much less and offer a high lev­el of com­fort. We espe­cial­ly like its large slid­ing wheels. In terms of clean­ing per­for­mance and ease of use, it out­per­forms the VX8‑2, but falls short in oth­er cat­e­gories.

DirtDevil DD7071‑3 rebel 73 HF

Does the noise both­er you? Dirt Dev­il Rebel 73HF, although it received only 44 per­cent­age points in the eval­u­a­tion of the noise lev­el, but oth­er­wise it has a lot to offer for its mon­ey. You can get a vac­u­um clean­er with­out a dust bag with a rat­ing of 100 per­cent­age points for the qual­i­ty of clean­ing by pay­ing only about 3 thou­sand rubles.
