Verdict

The AEG CX7-2-45AN is an 18V cordless 2-in-1 bagless stick vacuum cleaner featuring a 0.5-liter dust capacity, cyclonic dirt separation, and a detachable handheld unit configured with an AnimalCare electric suction brush for pet hair. Weighing 2.5 kg, its main advantages include a 180° EasySteer swivel nozzle with integrated LED lights, a patented pedal-operated BrushRollClean self-cleaning head, a freestanding parking position, and an ECO-mode runtime of up to 45 minutes (covering up to 135 m²). However, notable drawbacks include a long 4-hour recharge time, a significantly reduced 16-minute runtime when operating on maximum power mode, and a relatively loud noise emission level of 79 dB.
