Verdict

The AEG LX7-2-CR-A (Animal Edition) is a corded canister, bagless vacuum cleaner featuring a 750-watt motor, Turbo Cyclonic technology, and a 1.4-liter dust container capacity. Operating at a relatively quiet 72 dB noise level, it includes a washable Allergy Plus filter that blocks up to 99.95% of microparticles, alongside a specialized pet hair nozzle kit and a DustMagnet Silent floor nozzle for versatile surface cleaning. Its primary advantages are strong, adjustable suction power, an efficient Easy Empty hygienic dust removal system, a 9-meter operating radius (6-meter power cord), and outstanding performance on hard floors and carpets for pet owners. However, its notable drawbacks include long-term durability issues with the plastic build, such as clips wearing down or the hose cracking, an automatically retracting cord mechanism that can fail over time, and wheels on the main nozzle that can get scratched or loud when clogged with hair.

Summary of the review

Is the AEG LX7-2-CR-A vacuum cleaner worth it?

The review of the AEG LX7-2-CR-A (Animal Edition) bagless vacuum cleaner on Luna the Cretan Border Collie highlights a capable and affordable 750W unit (approx. €140) designed for hard floors and pet hair. Key pros include a lightweight 5kg design, a versatile accessory kit featuring a turbo nozzle, and an Allergy Plus filter. However, the 1.4-litre dust capacity requires frequent emptying, and the 6-metre power cord restricts the cleaning range, according to the review.
