AEG CLEAN 6000 ECO Bagged Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner AB61C2ECO

How effective is the HEPA filtration system at removing allergens?

The HEPA filtration system captures 99.99% of particles as small as 0.3 microns. This includes common household allergens like dust mites, pollen, pet dander and mould spores. The system works by forcing air through a fine mesh that traps these microscopic particles before they can recirculate back into your home. This makes it particularly beneficial for people with asthma or allergies who need cleaner air quality.

What surfaces can this vacuum cleaner handle effectively?

The CLEAN 6000 ECO works on all floor types including carpets, hard floors and parquet. It features a Dust Magnet Silent nozzle that achieves 100% dust pickup in crevices and tight spaces. The multiple surface capability means you won't need different attachments for different rooms - one nozzle handles everything from deep pile carpets to delicate wooden floors without causing damage.

How much noise does this vacuum make during operation?

At 73 decibels, this vacuum operates at a moderate noise level. To put this in perspective, normal conversation is around 60dB, while a washing machine typically runs at 70-75dB. The Dust Magnet Silent nozzle design helps reduce operational noise compared to standard vacuum nozzles, making it suitable for use without disturbing others in the house or neighbours in flats.

What is the cleaning radius and how does the cord system work?

The vacuum provides up to 12 metres of cleaning radius, allowing you to clean large rooms without constantly switching plug sockets. The automatic cord rewind feature means you simply press a button and the cord retracts automatically - no more manual winding. The easy roll wheels ensure smooth movement across different floor surfaces without scratching or marking.

How large is the dust capacity and how often will I need to change bags?

The dust capacity is 5 litres, which is generous for a cylinder vacuum. For an average household, this typically means changing bags every 4-6 weeks depending on usage frequency and home size. The bagged system is more hygienic than bagless alternatives as dust and debris are sealed inside the bag when you dispose of it, preventing dust clouds during emptying.

What makes this vacuum environmentally friendly?

The vacuum is constructed using 65% recycled plastic, significantly reducing its environmental impact during manufacturing. Despite using recycled materials, it maintains full cleaning performance with 745W of power and 100% dust pickup efficiency. The washable filter also reduces ongoing waste as you don't need to constantly replace disposable filters.

How much does this vacuum weigh and is it easy to manoeuvre?

Weighing 8.34kg, this cylinder vacuum strikes a balance between stability and portability. The weight provides stability during use while remaining light enough for most people to carry upstairs. The easy roll wheels and compact dimensions (30.66cm length, 43.6cm width, 23.85cm height) make it simple to navigate around furniture and store in cupboards.

What storage options are available and how much space does it require?

The vacuum offers flexible storage options - you can store it either vertically or horizontally depending on your available space. The compact dimensions mean it fits in most cleaning cupboards or under stairs storage areas. The automatic cord rewind keeps everything tidy and the overall footprint is smaller than many upright vacuum cleaners while providing superior cleaning performance.
