Product Description

The Ergorapido Ion has some unique and remarkable features. It charges four times faster and delivers 50% more power with lithium ion battery. It operates at full power the entire time it’s on, unlike other types of battery-powered vacuums. Its lightweight not only makes it easy to carry, but also helps in storing conveniently. When using as a stick vacuum, another highlighting feature is the 180 degree swivel head of the floor base. It is easy to steer around furniture legs with just a light twist of the handle.

3Ergorapido vs. Linx
By mark t
I bought this along with the Hoover Linx stick to compare. Between the two, they both have their advantages and disadvantages, but as an overall stick vac, the Linx probably wins out.Ergorapido IonPROS+Ultra! maneuverable on hardwood floors (A dream on hardwood floors)+Lightweight+Headlight on vacuum head+2-in-1 stick and hand vac design+Decent suction+AppearanceCONS-Really! poor maneuverability on carpet floors (Almost immovable on thicker carpets)-Unreplacable battery (Only a 2 year warranty and no plans for replacement)-Doesn't stand up on it's own-Can't turn off brush modeHoover LinxPROS+Better suction+Interchangable/Replaceable Battery+Can switch brush mode on or off+Good on hardwood floors AND carpets+Able to stand up on it's ownCONS-Less maneuverable/Clunkier (tires my hand out more than Ergorapido)-A little bit heavier-No 2-in-1 hand vac-No vacuum headlightSo each vacuum has it's advantages and disadvantages. If I had just hardwood floors, the Ergorapido would win out. That's where it shines bright. It's a joy to use on hardwood floors. It's almost swiffer-like in maneuverability only glides easier. The headlight feature on the Ergorapido is also a big plus. It let me spot out dust that I normally wouldn't have seen with the Linx. But with the Hoover Linx, I can go on both carpet and hardwood and expect decent performance and use overall. It's not as fun or easy, especially on hardwood floors, but it at least can do carpets all right. Emptying the bins out were an equally matched task, I felt. The same goes for battery charge time and use. Removing the brushroll on the Linx is a pain as you have to unscrew 7 screws whereas on the Ergorapido, you just have to flip a switch to open it up. The filter on the Ergorapido may be better, it's a cloth covered cone. Whenever I take it out and blow on it, there's always the finer dust flying off of it. And on the Linx, it's like this spongy cylinder, sort of like the type of material you'd find in cheap chair stuffing. Whenever I blow on that, nothing really flies off. I do like the Ergorapido and liked the idea of having an integrated hand vac. I would've given it 4 stars but because of it's lack of maneuverability on carpets, I knocked a star off. That's a pretty important quality, I think. The only other thing that really annoyed me about the Ergorapido was it's inability to stand up on it's own. In the end, if I only had to keep one, it'd be the Linx. But I would miss having the Ergorapido.

5More Is Better!
By george s roberts
This is an 18 Volt model, and has a lot more suction power than the previous one I owned. My last one served me well for many years before the rechargeable battery died. When I went online I discovered that they come in various voltages, so I got this one. I think the additional expense is well worth it. This model comes with a couple of tools, a brush and a crevasse tool, which snap into the charging base. Otherwise, the design is almost identical to the Pronto I used to have. Just be aware that they look alike, but that there are several different voltage models out there. That accounts for the wide range of prices among Electrolux stick vacuums.

5Well worth the money
By W. Ash
I am THE queen of stick vacs, the mother of a toddler, and owner of two cats. I made it my mission over the years to find a great stick vac, but I needed something with a 2-in-1 feature so I could use a hand vac also. I have previously been the owner of the Eureka Boss, a Shark 2-in-1, and a Dirt Devil Accucharge. The latter vacuum couldn't even get me through the one year warranty without the battery dying on me. I was researching this and the Dyson equivalent [I own the Dyson Animal], but thought I would give this a try given the reviews and being a smidge less.I am extremely satisfied. The charge is long lasting, the suction is exceptional. It's so convenient, effortless and feels sturdy.
