Verdict

The AEG AB51C1SW Clean 5000 is a compact, corded bagged cylinder vacuum cleaner operating on a 650-watt nominal (750W maximum) motor with a 3-litre dust bag capacity and an 8.5-metre cleaning radius. Its main characteristics include an eco-conscious design constructed from 37% recycled plastic, a washable hygiene filter system that captures up to 99.99% of micro-particles down to 1 micron, and an adjustable AllFloor nozzle designed for seamless foot-controlled transitions between hard floors and carpets. Key advantages include strong, efficient suction power on multiple surfaces, quiet performance at 78 dB, smooth 360-degree manoeuvrability due to large soft wheels, and practical onboard storage for its 2-in-1 multifunctional accessories. However, notable drawbacks include its lack of an automatic power/floor mode adjustment, the absence of an electronic display or filter change indicator, a shorter cord length compared to larger premium canister models, and ongoing costs associated with replacement s-bag dust bags.
