I tried the new Electrolux Pronto stick vacuum a few weeks ago. Although I loved the entire design concept of the 2 in 1 vacuum and its actual performance, I must admit that it’s not the right vacuum for my home – but it may be the perfect vacuum for you! The Pronto vacuum is ideal for apartments, lofts, and small houses with mostly hard floors. While it works well on low-pile carpets, it is not made for use on high-pile carpets. (I have high-pile carpet and two pet cats, which is why I need a larger vacuum made for carpet cleaning.) However, this lightweight vacuum made me wish I had place with bare floors. Vacuuming would be so much easier and faster! The Electrolux Pronto weighs in at just over 5 pounds. It glides across the floor with minimum effort, and its swivel head makes the process even smoother. Best of all, there’s no cord! The Pronto may be cordless, but that doesn’t mean it’s weak. It features powerful cyclonic suction technology and a long battery charge life.
You can vacuum for up to 20 minutes on just one charge. When I think of the Electrolux Pronto, I think “convenience.” As the full name of the product implies, it’s a 2 in 1 vacuum with a removable handheld unit. The hand vac is great for small spills, and it has an extendable crevice tool so that you can reach all those hard-to-reach spots – behind furniture, between cabinets, and under car seats. Now that I’ve pointed out its best features, here are the drawbacks that I found: 1. When it’s not in use, you have to place the Pronto in its charging base, and the charging base takes up an electrical outlet. However, the charging base can be mounted to a wall and takes up little space. 2. The see-through dust cup is small and needs to be emptied often. On the other hand, it’s easy to empty the dust cup, and you’ll never have to worry about buying replacement bags. 3. If your floors or mostly carpet, you should select another vacuum that’s better suited.
4. If you have severe allergies or asthma, you should select a vacuum cleaner with a true HEPA filter.vacuum cleaner quiz Overall, I give the Electrolux Pronto vacuum four out of five stars. thomas vacuum cleaner ukIt’s the ideal quick and easy vacuum for hard floors, but it’s not made for heavy-duty carpet cleaning.philips robot vacuum cleaner reviewsFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEMarch 26, 2009Release #09-169 Firm's Recall Hotline: (800) 932-1778Electrolux Media Contact: (614) 761-2633 Name of product: Ergorapido, Pronto and Precision Vacuums Distributor: Electrolux Home Care Products Inc., of Bloomington, Ill.

If only the battery lasted longer…
Lack of support, oversimplified manuals With a powder-coated pink body and a name that calls to mind the classic heavy-metal band, the new DC59 Motorhead has a little something for everyone. It’s beautifully designed, attractive and convenient – yet powerful and versatile enough that you can use it in the shop or to clean out the car. The Motorhead is the newest cordless vac from Dyson, the crazy company that has been reinventing the world’s ordinary appliances, from fans to vacuums to hand dryers. (It’s also rethinking extraordinary ones, including Google Glass.) The Motorhead is an update to the DC59 Animal, a very similar cordless vacuum released earlier this year. The Animal boasted a newly designed digital motor and claimed three times the suction of any other cordless or handheld vacuum. This may be because most other cordless vacuums suck; it may simply be because Dyson built a better mousetrap. The Motorhead’s assembly is dead-simple: Ikea should make gear so foolproof.
The Motorhead builds on the advances of the earlier vacuum, adding a direct-drive motor to the brush head to give it 75 percent more cleaning power, the company claims. “By putting a motor directly in the brush bar, we’re able to push bristles deeper into carpets for superior performance, while maintaining the versatility of a handheld machine,” James Dyson said in a press release announcing the new product. We’ll see if that’s true. For all its power, the Motorhead is surprisingly light. The box is just 10 pounds, and light enough that I could sling it under one arm as I walked down the street – and these biceps aren’t screaming “tickets to the gun show.” Open the box and you’ll find a 2-foot long pink-metal tube, a variety of attachments and suction heads, and the body of the vacuum, about the size, shape and looks of your average Cuisinart food processor. The Motorhead’s assembly is dead-simple: Ikea should make gear so foolproof. The various heads click into the extension tube, and the tube clicks into the vacuum.
The Motorhead is designed to be hung on a wall when not in use, and the wall-mount charging station is equally simple to figure out. It’s a good thing the assembly is so easy, because the manual had me scratching my head. It’s meant to be simple, so there are almost no words and plenty of pictures. They’re dumbed down to the point that they’re counterintuitive, however. Oh, and be careful with that powder-coated finish –it scratched during assembly. Pull the trigger on the handle and the DC59 kicks into action, with a sound more like a very loud fan than your typical vacuum. That’s because the head is channeling its energy into maintaining suction, rather than generating noise. Indeed, when I lifted the brush head off my rugs I could feel the vacuum clinging on – “Just one more bit of dirt! Please, let me keep going!” It seemed to say. The versatility of the Motorhead had me gushing to friends, who all looked at me like I was crazy. “Enough about the vacuum,” they said.
But I mean it. Take off the pink extender tube and you’ve got a perfect lightweight unit for pillows and upholstery, or stairs. Take it outside and you can vacuum the car. I’ve owned several cordless vacuums, and never once considered them powerful enough for such a task. Sure, it’s portable, but how good is it? Suction and cleaning power are certainly remarkable across the dirt spectrum: From the cat hair, dustballs and other light bits of filth that pile up in the corners to actual dirt clumps, the Motorhead could handle it all. I “accidentally” spilled cornflakes everywhere. I ground some dirt into the floor. I dropped a few metal ball bearings. The versatility of the Motorhead had me gushing to friends, who all looked at me like I was crazy. That said, gather ye dirtballs while ye may. Cleaning time with a cordless like this is limited. The DC59 Motorhead is good for only 24 minutes of use, Dyson claims – 2 minutes less than the DC59 Animal. In my testing, I squeezed out 19 minutes at best.
And it takes 3 and a half hours to recharge as well: Run out of juice halfway through a rug and you’ll find yourself counting the hours until you can finish up. Others have said this time was sufficient to clean a house with. After all, take a finger off the trigger and the Motorhead is off, conserving its battery for the rest of your dirt. I found it maddening to be halfway through cleaning with a dead battery and no options. The Motorhead has a large button tauntingly near your thumb labeled “Max.” Push it and you’ll enable Boost Mode, an extra shot of juice to suck up whatever disgustingness ordinary mode can’t handle (and what exactly did you spill, by the way?). Don’t make the mistake I did by enabling it full time, which seems like a great idea but shrinks the battery life to a paltry 6 minutes. To be fair, all battery life isn’t the same. My Black and Decker cordless drill lacks the oomph to do much of anything if its battery is running low. That’s a nickel-cadmium battery, however;
