4.0 out of 5 stars
Works great, compact, maneuverable, and cute!,
By Love Keeping it Simple (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Electrolux ErgoRapido Bagless Cordless Handheld/Stick Vacuum Cleaner, EL1014A (Kitchen)
This cordless stick vac is lightweight, compact, and has an appealing design and color! It has a convenient base station, and has a built-in hand vac. The filter is easy to clean and has not only an easy to empty canister, but also a "twang" feature that helps you rid the filter of dust without soiling your hands. Awesome! The stick vacuum cleans my 850 square foot condo (all hardwoods) in a single charge, with charge to spare for using the hand vac on upholstery. (I haven't had to use it on carpet or in larger settings, so can't speak about it's performance there). It's compact, perfect for apartment-dwellers or for use in designated smaller areas of a larger home like kitchen, foyer, pet areas, etc. And frankly, I think it's adorable and LOVE the orange color - - very cheery when you're doing mundane work like vacuuming :)
People should have reasonable expectations of what a stick vac can do. A stick vac will never have the suction and power of a regular-sized vacuum, and you shouldn't expect it to! I keep a neat home, and vacuum once a week with my "regular" vacuum, a powerful, full-sized bagless upright with HEPA filtration that works great, but is kind of cumbersome and heavy to use everyday. I use the ErgoRapido just for daily use in between "real" vacuumings, to keep my place neat and tidy everyday, free of cat hair/litter, crumbs in the kitchen, dirt tracked in the foyer from shoes, etc. - - and it works AWESOME for this purpose. I wouldn't expect it to do the job of a corded, full-size vacuum - - but it's awesome for everyday use to clean up little messes and dusty areas here and there. I've owned other stick vacs in the past, and been disappointed with their performance (Dirt Devil "Vac-n-Mop" = TERRIBLE!). But this product so far is much better! I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a maneuverable, easy-to-use and sleek vacuum for light-duty work or cleaning in between "regular" vacuuming.

Gets the job done pretty well,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Electrolux ErgoRapido Bagless Cordless Handheld/Stick Vacuum Cleaner, EL1014A (Kitchen)
I bought this after loving and then being disappointed with my Swivel Sweeper, which scratched up my hardwood floors and is put together cheaply. So second time around I went for something a little more expensive, hoping that it would be a better product and engineered to last. This vacuum seems to fit the bill in many ways.
THE GOOD: It appears to be well made and durable, with the parts fitting perfectly together and nice details that show that there was serious time put into the development of it. I LOVE the fact that the head swivels around (not a 360 like the Swivel Sweeper, but it does move nicely). Emptying the debris is a total breeze, and it easily snaps in and out. The weight on it actually feels good -- like it's sturdy -- but it's not at all cumbersome or heavy. I use it often and have never run out of power, so it seems to have a good charge. It does a good job picking up along the edge of the wall. The built-in hand vacuum option is really nice for getting into corners, doing detail work along the walls, cleaning up the stairs, chairs, etc, and it has stronger suction, so you can use it to suck up bigger items the vacuum won't pick up. You just push the two release buttons on the sides and the hand unit pops off the front. THE BAD: I wish it would stand up on it's own. It was designed to stand up on the charging unit, which is great for charging, but I I wish I could stand it up on its own without the unit. I wish the head was a little larger because I find that to do my entire upstairs with hardwood takes a while. Finally and MOST importantly, I wish it had better sucking power. It does a pretty decent job at picking up little crumbs, dirt, etc., but it generally cannot pick up larger objects like a Cheerio. Sometime it goes straight over the top of an object or pushes it around in front of it and sometimes it flings junk out behind it. It also sometimes has trouble getting little crumbs out of the grout. On my tile floor I have to go over it slowly and several times to get everything up. Overall I am happy with it. If the suction was greater I would be thrilled, but I suppose if you have reasonable expectations about the abilities of a cordless vacuum you'll like it too. ** UPDATE: This vacuum also leaves marks on the hardwood floor. If you get this item be sure to clean the wheels on a VERY regular basis and also EXPECT some scratching to occur. If you roll the same direction as the grain it certainly helps and if you avoid lots of swiveling and curving around that also helps to minimize scratches (which slightly defeats the purpose of the swivel head -- oh well!).

BAD rechargable battery design - DEAD batteries in 6 monhts,
By Pete C (Lockport, IL, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Electrolux ErgoRapido Bagless Cordless Handheld/Stick Vacuum Cleaner, EL1014A (Kitchen)
It did work well for about 6 months. After 6 months battery would last less than 5 minutes. I also noticed that the motor seemed to be running at "low" speed.
A year later decided to have a look inside of the unit as it was useless sitting in the cradle not working anymore / not getting a charge. I opened it up and found 3 of 8 batteries had burst. I decided to try to replace all of the 8 batteries with new one. It was a bit time consuming. I was able to solder on tabbed NICAD batteries and arrange them as the old ones. Well it worked! The vacumn is like new again. Motor sound very powerful, picks up everything, runs for a long time and charges up every time. The replacement 8 batteries were about $18.00 with shipping and well worth fixing.
