Agaro Ace 1600W review: a 21-litre wet and dry vacuum for under ₹6,000, with heat and noise complaints

How we researched this

We have not used this vacuum. Our sources:

• Agaro’s product page for specs, accessories, warranty and its own customer reviews.
• The Flipkart listing for price and 15,738 owner ratings.
• The Reliance Digital listing for a second price and warranty.

We could not verify suction on Indian floors, noise or how hot the motor gets.

What you get on paper

A 1600 W corded drum vacuum with 21.5 kPa of suction, a 21-litre stainless steel drum and a blower function. Agaro includes a 5 m cord, a hose, a telescopic metal tube, a floor brush, a crevice nozzle, a multipurpose brush and an “absorbing brush”. Flipkart adds a washable 3-litre cloth dust bag and “5-stage filtration”, though Agaro does not explain the stages and makes no HEPA claim. The warranty is 1 year everywhere we looked.

Where the sources disagree

• Suction. Agaro says 21.5 kPa. Flipkart’s listing title says 21.5 kPa but its highlights say 22 kPa.
• Weight. Flipkart says 6 kg. Agaro’s page gives an item weight of 7,220 g.
• Material. Agaro’s spec line says “Material Type: Plastic”, while its photos and the Flipkart listing show a stainless steel drum. The lid and base are plastic.

What owners report

The Flipkart listing averages 4.3 out of 5 from 15,738 ratings: 9,080 five-star and 914 one-star. Positive reviews mention strong suction and easy handling, and one 2025 owner says Agaro replaced a faulty motor with doorstep pickup and drop within a week. Recent 1-star reviews repeat three problems: noise (“very loud”), heating after about 10 minutes of continuous use, and a unit that stopped working within two months. One owner reports rust on the steel drum within 6 months. Agaro’s own site shows 4.75 out of 5 from 137 reviews, several praising a post-delivery demo. Reviews on a brand’s own store are worth less than marketplace reviews.

Who supports it in India

Agaro sells the Ace through Flipkart, Reliance Digital and its own online store. Owner experiences with support are mixed: one praises a quick motor replacement, another says return emails went unanswered.

Should you buy it?

At about ₹5,800 on Flipkart, the Ace gives you more power, a bigger tank and more tools than most wet and dry vacuums at its price. It suits occasional heavy cleaning better than daily use, because it is loud and owners report heat build-up in long sessions. Work in short bursts, keep the invoice, and note that the warranty is only a year.
