Verdict

The AEG QX8-1-45IB is a cordless 2-in-1 stick and handheld vacuum cleaner designed in Indigo Blue, featuring an 18V lithium-ion battery that provides up to 45 minutes of runtime on its Eco setting (16 minutes on High) with a 4-hour charge time. Weighing 2.9 kg and operating at a noise level of 79 dB, it utilizes cyclonic technology alongside a 0.5-liter bagless dust container and a 180° EasySteer swivel head. Main characteristics and pros include its highly efficient, motor-powered Power Roller brush optimized for polishing hard floors, a freestanding parking design, integrated LED headlights, and a detachable handheld unit for multi-surface cleaning. However, notable cons include its compromised performance on high-pile carpets, a relatively small dust container that requires frequent emptying, and a lack of a wall bracket since it relies on a floor charging stand.
