Verdict

The AEG AP72UB21ES (7000 Series) is a versatile 2-in-1 cordless stick vacuum cleaner powered by a 21.6V lithium-ion battery (2500 mAh) that offers a 0.3-liter onboard dust bin and an 85 air-watt multi-cyclone suction system. Its main features include an intelligent Auto Mode that dynamically adjusts suction across hard floors and carpets via its LED-lit AllFloor Auto nozzle, a lightweight 1.35 kg handheld configuration, a 5-stage HEPA filtration setup trapping 99.99% of fine dust, and a standout All-in-One multifunction station that charges the device and automatically empties its bin into a 3.5-liter bag. Key advantages include an impressive battery runtime of up to 50 minutes in handheld mode (40 minutes with the floor nozzle) and a versatile attachment bundle featuring the BedProPower+ electric turbo brush. However, notable drawbacks include a relatively loud operating noise level of 80 dB, a lengthy 4.5-hour full recharging time, and the lack of a dedicated short-burst 'Turbo power' button for quick, localized deep cleaning.
