Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I got the chance to use and test the Electrolux Ergorapido Lithium Ion Brushroll Clean Xtra 2-in-1 Handheld Vacuum in Watermelon Red for the last 30 days. Overall, I have been happy with it for my light needs. Most of my house is carpeted so I used this on the kitchen and bathrooms for pet hair and tracked cat litter. I also use it on a couple throw rugs. It has good suction for the size of the unit and the maneuverability is excellent. What I like: 1. Beautiful red color makes it attractive enough to leave out in sight instead of hiding it away. 2. Super easy set-up. Only one screw to connect the handle to the unit. You don’t even need a screwdriver - the instruction say you can just use a nickel out of your pocket to tighten the screw. 3. Light weight unit as a whole made it easy to use by all members of our household 4. Decent suction on hard surfaces and and on throw rugs 5. Very good maneuverability for getting around corners and under table legs 6. The LED lights on the front of the unit were a great help when hunting down crumbs and cat litter. This was one of my favorite features. 7. Hand held dust buster style unit detaches with one push of a button. A crevice attachment comes with it to get all the nooks and crannies. 8. Free standing on hard surfaces, but wobbly on carpet 9. Runs up to 30 minutes on a charge. It never ran out on me. What I didn't like (or I would improve on) 1. The power connection to the back of the unit just looks like a screw hole. It was not marked on the unit or the instructions. It was perplexing and annoying to find it the first time. 2. No light on the handheld unit like on the main unit. That would have been awesome. ( HINT HINT Electrolux) 3. Handheld unit is a bit bulky and wide so you pretty much have to use the attachment to get into small spaces. 4. Self cleaning brush roller is and excellent idea but it is poorly executed. It is pretty useless and never worked for me. 5. The size of the dust bin does limit the amount of work you can do at once. It is a trade-off to make it light-weight and compact. 6. The paper filter inside the dust bin will need to be changed out fairly regularly and are an added cost. I wish that it didn't have one, but I understand the purpose. Other Notes that might be helpful: *Initial charge is 24 hours. After that it is 4 hours to charge. *One button for on/off. A second button for normal and high power *Lights indicate charge level: 3 orange lights = 75% or higher 2 orange lights = 75-25% 1 orange light = less than 25% (blinking orange light = empty) *Warning lights: -red light indicates the unit is overly hot and needs a break, (you cleaning fool!) Filters and roller may need cleaning. -flashing red light = the motor is overloaded and turning off, possible obstruction *Maintenance: -Dust container- empty every cleaning by removing the filers and gently tapping the dust out into your trash. -Fine filter cleaning- recommended every cleaning by pulling the release springs 5-6 times.
