AEG CE 250 Vampyr

Advantages: 100% suction
Disadvantages: not found yet

...Dyson verses AEG Vampyr vacuum cleaner..... about two years ago after reseach my wife and I bought an AEG Vampyr vacuum cleaner, it was not cheap at all and the turbo extension cost another £60 or so pounds.The reason we bought this cleaner was my youngest daughter suffers from eczema and also is succeptable to dust which affects her asthma.At first it seemed to be good at cleaning, it reached under the bed and was versatile due to its shape not quite cylindrical with two small wheels. It was a bag system of dirt/dust collection.It was not long before we started getting problems with the turbo extension getting blocked, then the suction began to waver. The bag changes were messy. The dirt being picked up was negligible to say the least. It was not long before the wheels broke, then the tube that fitted into the body of the vacuum cleaner... Read review

Advantages: Quiet, washes & dries well, Quick programme
Disadvantages: A Zanussi in disguise

...Our top of the line Hoover Super Crystaljet had performed flawlessly for ten years between 1990 when mum and dad first got it until 2000. 2001, however, was a bad year for it. It broke down about 5 times within 9 months, and it was out of service for a couple whilst we were waiting for a new door catch to arrive. By the time September arrived, we decided enough was enough and went out to Comet, Curry’s and the Lincoln Co Op department store and looked around dishwashers. I tried to convince my parents on the Miele, Bosch and AEG models costing £350 plus but they gave me a budget of £250, so I had to find a decent model out of that. This limited me to the cheaper brands such as Zanussi, Ariston, Hoover and cheap Bosch. Eurgh, I thought at the first 3 brands. We looked at the Bosch, and I was pretty set on getting that dishwasher... Read review

Advantages: n/a
Disadvantages: AEG Customer Services

...I purchased an AEG 86720 in 2000 and after 4 years it needed new brushes for its motor (£25, i was a little anoyed, but got over it) and then 12 months later, the circuit boards that control the motor have blown. It has been inspected by Service Force engineer and is quoted at £400 for the circuit boards and replacement motor. I paid £700 back in 2000 and AEG are doing nothing to help. I bought an AEG because i expected top quality product and expected first class support from their customer service. I am upset and disappointed with my washing machine and with AEG. I will never buy an AEG-Electrolux product again. I have contacted AEG who, after much argument, agreed to help pay for some percentage of the parts, but only if i pay the engineer's call out charge. I agreed, since AEG offered to pay some part towards parts. Later AEG... Read review
