My review and perspective on model: EL1014A vacuum cleaner

This is the Electrolux EL1014A ErgoRapido Bagless Cordless Handheld - Stick Vacuum Cleaner Review please check the reviews page for a comparison of other vacuum cleaners.

Some people love these little things... so I'll try to go easy on it. Electrolux generally makes good stuff, so this is a better quality stick vacuum, but all stick vacuums pretty much fail at the general premise in my mind. If you want a stick vacuum my suggestion is to really just go with a mechanical non powered one. They're lighter and honestly do the same job just as well. I know that the batteries for these are heavy and that's where a lot of the weight comes from, but you can get an Oreck that does the job 100 times better, but it will cost you twice as much. With that said there are several full size vacuum cleaners in the same price range. Cordless is nice, but the batteries will not last forever, and they are expensive to replace when they die. It's honestly more cost effective to purchase a whole new unit some times, which then makes an Oreck XL 2000 much more appealing since a lot of people report 6 months before the battery fries.

The EL1014A is a Residential vacuum designed for use in the Residential environment. I have reviewed it accordingly, the price point of the EL1014A is set for the Residential industry which should be taken into consideration when purchasing or thinking about purchasing this vacuum. Commercial vacuum cleaners may be built to last longer and endure more abuse, but are more expensive and may be lacking some of the luxuries (such as light weight, or low noise) that you are accustomed to. On the contrary Residential vacuums are made at lower price points, lower quality, but are often lighter and quieter to use.
