#1: Low Price Electrolux EL1012A Stick Hand Vac 2 N 1 Ergorapido Cordless

Indispensible
I love this vacuum! We have hard floors in the diningroom, kitchen & hall. This vacuum allows us to keep up with our growing family and the daily messes. The vacuum is easy to handle so that even the kids can effectively help out. It is easy to clean. I have never had any problem with the recharable battery running out before I'm done vacuuming. I have had one of these models myself for over a year and just bought this one for my parents. They love its light weight and easy access recharging stand. A great value and indispensible for our family!

Not for use as a vacuum
I've read some of the reviews and found that people who are rating this thing highly are the ones who are sweeeping up their floors and then vacuuming up the sweepings. This is not what a vacuum is for. If you can't use it as a vacuum, then it isn't a vacuum.

This vacuum will have a dead battery within 3 months
This vacuum has terrible suction power
This vacuum has a tiny dustcup which must be emptied before use and several times during use to maintain the already poor suction.
This vacuum has cheap plastic parts which frequently break, (ex. the small rollers on the bottom which make it possbile to roll the vacuum around)

After owning this product for a month and suffering the headaches, I hope this review can save you time and money and especially the headaches.

Good vacuum for quick clean ups / daily cleaning
My friend had one of these for years, so I already knew what to expect from it. I use this vacuum for everyday LIGHT cleaning on tile and laminate flooring. I'll also use it for quick clean ups on carpet or rugs, but I usually just use the hand vac for that. Some people complain about it lasting only 15mins, but that's all I need. For more thorough cleaning, I'll bring out the big guns :-)

PROS: Two in one vac, love how you can go from cleaning floors to using the hand vac in seconds. Has enough suction to pick up crumbs in the kitchen or dirt tracked in from outside by the exterior doors. It's light and easy to maneuver to get underneath tables and chairs. The charging station has a blue backlight when it's docked which makes for a convenient night light. I also like the option of emptying it by using a conventional vacuum to suck the dirt out a front access hole.

CONS: Like any bagless vacuum, when you try to dump clean the container, you get a dust cloud. That's why I like the option of vacuuming out the dirt. Also, the rotating brush seems to kick dirt around half the time. Fortunately, the brush is removalable for cleaning. I just leave it out all the time. More suction would be nice as always for a vacuum, but it's adequate for a stick/handheld vac.

Overall, I would recommend this vacuum for light, everyday cleaning.

Horrible Quality - Electrolux should be embarrassed!
My wife and I purchased this useless piece of garbage to replace a similar product under the auspices that it being an electrolux must be of high quality. Immediately I noticed that the vacuum was extremely difficult to pull backwards on a carpet, as though the wheels do not work. Then after the third use the spinning mechanism on the bottom stopped working because hair got stuck in the bottom. It was relatively easy to remove, but now every third time we use it, we have to perform minor surgery on this piece to remove the hair. We live in a 1 bedroom apartment, we're not talking about a significant amount of usage.

Absolutely the worst vacuum I have ever owned! Do yourself a favor and do not buy this vacuum!

Best I have found!
I purchased this little stik vac to take care of my laminate floors and it has not disappointed me at all. I have tried a shark cordless vac, a swivel sweeper (which was good, better on carpet) and just doing it with a broom and dust pan. This vac does not catch and drag grit under it with the possibility of scratching the floor. It works on carpet and the best part is the little hand vac on board. You can just pop it off and do the edges around doors or hard to reach spots. With the other vacs you had to go get a dustbuster and come back to do it and then go replace it in its' charger. Don't let the price stop you!! Worth every penny and I would re-order it in the future if needed!
