Electrolux EL1012A Stick Hand Vac 2 N 1 Ergorapido Cordless

The Electrolux EL1012A Stick Hand Vac 2 N 1 Ergorapido Cordless vacuum cleaner is more expensive than some other stick vacuums, but Electrolux certainly don’t disappoint with this model.

200912161445.jpg The Electrolux Pronto 2-in-1 stick vacuum has a built in hand vacuum so that it really is dual function.

Electrolux have given this Stick vacuum cyclonic technology to keep dust away from filters, resulting in strong, lasting suction.

Other features of this vacuum include:

  • Built-in crevice tool.
  • High, powerful cleaning mode, and quiet mode for less power but without disturbing others.
  • Brush roll indicator light so you know its working properly.
  • Easy to empty dust cup that can lifted out to empty, or emptied by lifting a lid or even suck out the dirt using another vacuum cleaner via the vacuum port, although obviously that last method is not going to be useful if this is your only vacuum cleaner.
  • Cordless – meaning no more power cables. The charging station can be placed on the floor, or if you prefer, mount it on a wall to help save space.

The Electrolux EL1012A Stick Hand Vac 2-in-1 is a firm favourite with reviewers at Amazon. At the time of writing this, over 74% of people who reviewed it gave it the maximum 5 out of 5 score.

  • Great on every surface.
  • Looks great & really convenient.
  • Great for pet fur and strong suction.
  • The hand vac is great for cleaning your car.
  • Very easy to empty.
