Overview
- AEG 8000 Ultimate is the overall winner, praised as a balanced everyday choice with an auto-empty base and a second battery for longer coverage.
- Dyson V16 Piston Animal delivers the strongest peak suction in the field at up to 315 Airwatts in Boost mode, though high power sharply shortens runtime.
- Rowenta X-Force Flex 14.80 is highlighted for its flexible joint for low-clearance areas, strong suction around 240 Airwatts, and extended Eco runtime up to 1 hour 20 minutes.
- Miele Triflex HX2 125 Edition is positioned as a premium, modular 3‑in‑1 with robust build and strong filtration, but it is heavier and drops to about 30 minutes with the motorized brush.
- Medion P400 W+ is the budget pick with a second battery and roughly 100 Airwatts of suction, suited to smaller homes; Stern also guides buyers to target about 180 AW for solid daily performance and cites prior Warentest results favoring brand models over sub‑€200 devices.
