That AEG not only the name of the vacuum cleaner ("Aufgreen" or UltraFlex Green) has made his thoughts, you could tell at delivery and opening the package. It is unexpected compact and the items are compact, yet packed neatly.
AEG pursues its sustainability principles - read in the 24-page manual:
"The vacuum cleaner was made with consideration for the environment. All plastic parts are marked for recycling purposes. And the packaging material was chosen with a view to environmental friendliness."
The vacuum cleaner is not only recyclable. He is already at 65% recycled Kunstsoff. And gentle (after the acquisition) on the wallet because it consumes compared to a 2100W vacuum cleaner up to 65% less power. He has the energy efficiency class A.
The dust collection is amazingly efficient and yet pleasantly quiet. Who neighbors, can with a clear conscience even late at by eyes his apartment. Since the roles of the vacuum cleaner over a tiled floor is probably one already likely to be louder noises.
About the various floors (carpet, hardwood, laminate, tiles), the vacuum cleaner can be (perhaps due to its weight and center of gravity distribution) maneuver smoothly. Here, too, AEG has awarded a concise name: Motion Control System. The two rear wheels have a diameter of about 17cm and are very smooth. Taking short on the telescopic tube of the vacuum cleaner, it rolls by.
And if we are talking about the names: Turbo-cyclone Technology.
We do not care how the AEG dust removal and the operation referred to and is behind what technology principle. Important for us is that the underlying technology works - as simply and efficiently as possible. This applies both to here.
The annual consumption is about 30 kWh. If we add the simplicity with 30 cents per kWh, so gives a power consumption of about EUR 9, - a year or depending on price and brand two crates of water.
Only the still surprisingly high weight of AEG (about 8kg - comparable with a box filled with plastic bottles of water) has surprised us. So we did not expect. And even if the vacuum cleaner so that remains portable, who is allowed to carry the vacuum cleaner over several floors or stories, but looking at ease at once a central storage place. And just older or limited in mobility people might not like about the weight. There in the field of battery operated vacuum cleaner but excellent alternatives that nevertheless easily absorb the dust and (coarse) dirt despite battery. Of weight, we draw a star from - certainly, other vacuum cleaner are similar difficulties. But if the AEG Aufgreen sees for the first time and for the first time takes into his hand, instinctively expecting something lighter due to the very compact design. This is not to tarnish the positive overall picture, however.
Cleaning is easy, the receptacle can be found and just as easy to reinsert easily. If required, can be of use to remove the cyclone and (usually better because of lime) and rinse with cold clear water. The same procedure applies to the washable hygiene filter and the actual filter (sponge) - the filter when cleaning not like a sponge squeezed, so it does not warp and are then reinserted fit is can- less more here. After cleaning with water, you should leave the cleaned parts for a whole day dry, so that not to the cleaning effect has influence or even the engine and cause damage. For there is no water suction. And when the engine takes a damage by water, which is neither covered by the warranty nor by the guarantee.
Oh yes, a parking function, the AEG Aufgreen as almost any other vacuum cleaner also. So it can be stowed either in the deployed position or in an upright position and thus space-saving.
Rounding out the positive picture of the wide range of accessories and detailed manual. The latter is one, if at all, during the initial commissioning scroll times and then put it aside. Nevertheless, we believe that this first, this includes in such detail, and secondly, it is now no longer a matter of course that they will be enclosed in printed form.
From us, there's a strong buy recommendation.
