Electrolux is a Swedish company that is one of the leaders in home appliances. While we know Electrolux for their vacuum cleaners and carpet cleaners, Electrolux also have a range of cookers, cookertops, ovens, fridges, dishwashers, air conditioners, tumble driers, washing machines etc.

On their website, Electrolux state that they sell more than 40 million products a year to customers in around 150 countries. That’s sure is a testament to the Electrolux brand.

Electrolux began life in 1910 as Elektromekaniska AB but changed their name in 1919 after a merger with Lux AB. Hence the name ElectroLux.

In 2003 Electrolux began a restructuring program throughout Europe and Electrolux operates over 20 factories in Europe.

Below you can review some of the Vacuum cleaners made by Electrolux. If you own one of the models, please feel free to review it and give it a rating based on your experiences.

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.

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.

Customers of the Electrolux Pronto 2-in-1 stick vacuum liked:

• 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.
• Hair doesn’t stick to the filter.

.. but were not so keen on:

• Short battery life and long charge times.

The Electrolux EL5020A Intensity is an upright vacuum cleaner that can fold up for convenient storage.

It’s 12 amp motor give this vacuum plenty of power for suction, but this vacuum goes one step further and introduces a 3 inch air path so that you get maximum suction without losing power because there are no long air tubes for the dirt to travel down – just 3 inches. It’s wide 12 inch cleaning path means you get even more clean carpet for each sweep of the vacuum.

The Electrolux EL5020A Intensity has fingertip controls and easy switching from bare floor to carpet mode. In carpet mode, the cleaning head will automatically adjust to the height of the carpet, while the spinning brushroll ensures the carpet dirt is agitated for a deeper clean.

The HEPA filtration system ensures airborne allergens aren’t umped directly back into the atmosphere during vacuuming, which means you get cleaner air in your home as well as cleaner carpets and flooring.

Also a nice feature are the indicator lights which tell you when the bag needs to be emptied or the filter needs to be cleaned. These two will ensure your Electrolux EL5020A Intensity works at optimum suction while you are cleaning.

The power cord is a little short at 21 foot long, when compared to other vacuums, but this may not be a problem for you. The large quart capacity dirt bag and adjustable telescopic handle make this a very comfortable vacuum cleaner to use.

At Amazon, the Electrolux EL5020A Intensity averaged around 4 stars out of 5 amongst reviewers. Customers who bought this model particularly liked:

• Innovative design allowing for compact storage of the vacuum cleaner when not in use
• Great suction
• Easy to change the bags
• build quality is good.

.. and were not so keen on:

• Not so great trying to turn corners with the vacuum. The large wheels and small size make this awkward.
• Lack of speciality attachments.
• a little high to fit under furniture.
