Electrolux EL1000A2 Pronto Bagless Stick Cyclonic Vacuum

Pros: When it worked, originally, it was a dream come true for my hardwood floors
Cons: BEWARE: Electrolux Pronto didn't live up to my high expectations, not even for 1 year!

First Impressions aren't always lasting!! When I bought the Electrolux Pronto less than a year ago, I loved its hunky, metallic red appearance, lightweight frame and cordless docking system. It's a sleek and unique product, which on looks ...

Pros: Soft organic design, nicely designed, 3 way empty cup, handy and lightweight. Safe for bugs!
Cons: Not very powerful, de-clogging could be easier, questionnable HEPA filter, doesn't like deep pile carpets.

When I initially reviewed this product way back in 2005 it sat in a market with very few rivals other than the Swivel Sweeper which was a product my father liked the look of. However with new carpets installed throughout the house and with constant use ...

Pros: Looks good.
Cons: Expensive for a vacuum that doesn't pick everything up in one pass.

Electrolux is a well-established brand. Even though the Pronto is a stick vac, with its sleek stylish look, you would expect this vacuum to perform as slick as it looks. I was very disappointed because this vacuum has a lot of great features but just ...

Pros: Great looks, great performance, cordless.
Cons: Expensive, small dirt cup.

I am about to move into my new apartment, and before anything else, I thought I needed a vacuum cleaner so I can clean up before I move. It is a small place with mostly wood floors and tile, so I wanted a little vac that’s easy to move around. I also ...

Pros: Excellent on hard floors! Great on carpeted stairs! Decent for light carpet work. No cord!
Cons: A tad expensive.

WHY WE NEEDED A VACUUM We just moved into our first two-story house and needed a vacuum that would solve two issues: 1) We needed a vacuum that would work well on stairs--something that was light enough and that also had enough suction (we ...

Pros: Great for hard floors, lightweight, dust-free emptying
Cons: Doesn't work on carpet at all, somewhat short battery life

I am barefoot almost all the time I am at home, and I find the feeling of crumbs or cat litter underfoot to be very creepy. Most of the first floor of our home is hardwood or marble floor, and you can feel every bit of sand, every cookie crumb, etc. I ...

Pros: Looks great, good performance on hard floors, versatile, long lasting battery, always convenient.
Cons: OK performance on carpets, can seem pricey.

I think Electrolux has a good thing here. The Pronto is a 2-in-1 quicker-sucker-upper that you can use either has a hand vac or as an upright. According to the literature, the Pronto is has a 9.6 volt battery which translates into pretty strong ...

Pros: Light, cordless, easy to use and efficient with a very high quality feel
Cons: None yet found.

The title says it all. I LOVE this thing. We are the family that has never kept a vacuum running for more than a year. In fact, we have so conclusively proved that we kill them (long-haired dog, messy humans and general NOT vacuum-friendly folks) ...

Pros: Light, powerful, easy to use, awesome maneuverability, great battery life, durable, ready when you are!
Cons: Not recommended for carpets.... that's the only negative!

Came across this little baby at Sears trying to find out how to spend a $75 gift certificate I got as a prize. Was going to get a lawn edger. I am SO glad I went with this! We have a Hoover Wind Tunnel as our main vacuum. It is an effective ...

Pros: Extremely well made, Perfect for bare floors, Good battery life, Beautiful design
Cons: Dust buster is a bit heavy for me, Not adequate for pet hair, etc

We just moved across the country, and inadvertently left our old vacuum behind. Having ended up moving into a small studio with mainly hardwood floors (we also have tile in the bathroom and linoleum in the kitchen), I decided to do some research on the ...

Pros: Light, Quiet, Stylish, Affordable..and doesn't blow dust all over the place.
Cons: Does not work well on carpet....

I have to start by saying that if you are looking for a vacuum that will work great on rugs or carpets this is not the vacuum for you but if you have hard floors like tile, Pergo, wood, marble or hardwood you should run out and get the Electrolux right ...

Pros: Very handy and initially worked fine.
Cons: For the price and the brand, I expected more.

I wrote a review of this vacuum after I first bought it. I agreed with others that it does not pick up well on carpet but that wasn't why I got it so it didn't bother me. I use it in the kitchen mostly. It served the purpose for which I intended to use ...

Pros: Light weight, durable, bagless
Cons: cheaper

Let me just start off by saying this is the best Vacuum that my husband and I have ever purchased. This is a very light weight vacuum weighing in at 5.5 pounds. We have pet and of course hair is always a problem with them. With this vacuum has a ...

Pros: cordless, lightweight, fast and easy handling, bagless, futuristic design, pretty blue LED
Cons: slightly less power than traditional vac

The ELECTROLUX PRONTO two-in-one vac cleaner is a great addition to a main old traditional hardwire (non-cordless) vacuum cleaner The Pronto device is a base and a vacuum cleaner. The design is red and very pretty unlike most older vacs eyesores ...

Pros: Power, ease of use, gets the dirt (and cat litter) up
Cons: On the expensive side

I have tried all of the cordless, rechargeable stick vacuums out there (Eureka, Shark, Dirt Devil, etc.) and had to keep returning them--until the Pronto. The problem they all have is they do not hold cat litter. They suck it up, but as soon as you ...
