Home gadgets are ever evolving with most new designs made to make our lives easier. Like most people, domestic chores aren’t my favourite. Though are a necessary evil, especially when you have a child and a dog. This is where a cordless vacuum cleaner comes in very handy! Especially the AEG cordless vacuum cleaner, which we have reviewed in this post!
The vacuum cleaner is literally out every day. No matter how long I spend cleaning, I turn around and it looks like I haven’t even vacuumed! It doesn’t help when the vacuum is weighty either and difficult to manoeuvre the stairs.
AEG CX7-2-35WR Cordless Vacuum Cleaner review
We were recently sent the AEG CX7-2-35WR Cordless Vacuum Cleaner by the lovely people at AO.com. The AEG cordless vacuum was set on charge as soon as it arrived in order to try it out.
The vacuum comes boxed, in two parts joined by a cable. It is very easy to assemble by slotting the two parts together and tightening the screw in hold.
Working off a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, the AEG cordless vacuum cleaner comes with an easy to use charging station. It is actually quite discreet and makes storing the vacuum much easier than anticipated.
How long does it take to charge the AEG Cordless Vacuum?
A full charge will take around 3.5 hours. The instructions advise to charge overnight when you first take it out of the box.
This will give you an approximate run time of 35 mins from a full charge. This is dependent on which of the two power levels you set the vacuum cleaner at.
A charging light indicator with 3 levels which will light up when charging. These lights also show when in use to inform you of how much charge is left.
AEG CX7-2-35WR Vacuum Cleaner Features
The AEG Cordless Vacuum Cleaner is packed with lots of smart features. One of my favourites is how lightweight it is and easy to manoeuvre with a 180 degree swivel head.
This makes carrying the vacuum upstairs much easier. As well as pushing the vacuum around. Especially handy if you are of an older generation. The vacuum will stand of its own accord but leans forward slightly to steady itself.
What is the capacity of the AEG cordless vacuum?
It is a totally bagless vacuum system, with a 0.5 litre capacity double filtration dust collector. It’s not the largest filter on the market and it will mean more frequent trips to the bin for emptying. It’s very easy to empty the filter.
So keep on top of this to ensure the vacuum cleaner remains in tip top condition.
Vacuum cleaners with headlights
There are LED headlights to guide the way – this seriously makes vacuuming in the dark fun! The lights are there to help guide you and ensure you don’t miss any bits on the floor. I’m not sure these are entirely necessary, however they are very quirky and make vacuuming more fun! It is also a relatively quiet vacuum cleaner but still offers punch in the cleaning stakes.
The Brushrollclean Technology is a very smart feature. By pressing this the brush head will automatically clean itself and unclog any hair and fibres from the bristles. A very handy function indeed when you have long hair!
The best feature of the AEG cordless vacuum cleaner
The best feature of the AEG cordless vacuum cleaner is the fact it is a 2 in 1 vacuum system. Meaning the vacuum offers a lot more for your money. Not only is it a push along vacuum cleaner but the main body can be removed for hand held use. This is particularly useful for vacuuming the stairs and also valeting your car.
My only problem with this is getting into tight corners is tricky. The bulbous head seems to overhang the vacuum nozzle with no amount of tilting seeming to help. If the vacuum nozzle had the option of extending, this problem could easily be rectified.
Are AEG Hoovers any good?
For a relatively small and nimble vacuum cleaner, it offers a lot more than can be expected. I don’t believe it can ever replace a meatier vacuum in our house. However it takes the stress and effort out of having to vacuum every day.
Using the AEG cordless vacuum cleaner makes very light work of being run over our laminate floor. Even the dog isn’t fazed! Being so lightweight, easy to turn and manoeuvre means that even my daughter doesn’t find vacuuming an arduous chore!

It’s very quick and easy to get out for a quick vacuum before visitors come over. And will prove a godsend over Christmas when the floor will be covered in glitter!
The AEG is a fantastic back-up vacuum that doesn’t take up much space and is very easy to store away. Very energy efficient, the vacuum knows when to stop charging when fully charged. Though I am old-school and prefer to turn it off at the socket when fully charged anyway.
How much is the AEG Cordless Vacuum?
It is an awesome piece of kit and AEG are a highly regarded brand. So for the £169 price tag (current as of post date 31/10/2018), you are getting a lot for your money.
Especially considering the 2 in 1 capability and the fact it is cordless. Personally, I would recommend this more for the older generation who may have difficulty pushing around heavier vacuum cleaners. This can literally turn on a sixpence and could easily be pushed with one finger.
The bold red colour of the vacuum is fresh and makes it stand out without it being an eyesore. Yet it is small and slight enough to simply hide away. It’s an impressive piece of kit and you can check out more details over at AO.com.
Now if you don’t mind, I am off to vacuum up again!
