Verdict

The AEG AS52CB18DB Clean 5000 is an 18V bagless, cordless 2-in-1 stick vacuum cleaner featuring a 29W motor, cyclonic dirt separation, and a progressive 5-layer washable filtration system. Weighing 3.5 kg, its main advantages include a convenient detachable handheld unit, an UltimatePower multi-surface nozzle with integrated BrushRollClean technology, LED headlights, a freestanding design, and up to 45 minutes of runtime on a 4.5-hour charge. However, its downsides include a relatively small 0.3-litre dust container capacity, a noisy 79 dB operating level, a restrictive 13-minute runtime when utilizing the motorized brush on high speed, and a somewhat tedious emptying mechanism.
