Disappointing

We have not bought a vacuum for 15 years so were excited about having a new, powerful, cordless vacuum designed for a household with pets, however we are disappointed.
There are some features that we like; firstly the AEG AP81AB25UG 8000 Series Cordless Vacuum Cleaner with Pet Pro+ Nozzle it is a powerful vacuum and we are amazed how much fluff and dog hair it sucks up. Secondly, it’s a lightweight and manoeuvrable machine that gets into the hard-to-reach places like under sofas, tables and chairs with ease. The added functionality of an extendable column between the cleaning head and the body of the vacuum makes it easy to use for all, including teenagers!
However, there are lots of things that are disappointing; firstly the battery life is not good. The first time we used it after the required 2 hours of charging it lasted less than 5 minutes. Admittedly it was used on turbo mode but even when put onto auto mode it still needs 2 hours of charging for 20 minutes of use and for a 4 bedroom, 2 storey house with pets that does not work. Secondly, the dust bucket is too small and difficult to get on an off, especially for those with small hands. What this means is that the bucket does not get emptied often enough which causes blocking. The block occurs at the point where the bucket connects to body of the vacuum (see pics). Thirdly, all of the buttons to connect or extend attachments are not easy to use. They are stiff and a lot of force needs be applied. Finally, the Pet Pro + nozzle can only be used at a 20 degree angle which means that the user has to bend down all the time to ensure that the nozzle is fully connected to with the surface – can this be right?
In summary, if you have 4 bed house, a pet and small hands then I would not recommend the AEG AP81AB25UG 8000 Series Cordless Vacuum Cleaner with Pet Pro+ Nozzle. However, if you have strong hands, a 2 bed house or flat and a pet then I would.
