Electrolux EL1000A2 Pronto

Pros: Easy to put together. Good suction. Lightweight. Looks good. Ergonomically designed. Removable handheld unit.

Cons: If you choose to mount the charging stand on the wall it requires some fumbling.

The Bottom Line: Great looking, lightweight machine with good suction. Well balanced and easy to use. Higher cost justifies the fact that is has the detachable handheld unit.

Review: I just bought my Pronto and I am loving it. It was a snap (literally) to put together and is easy to set in and out of the charging stand. No fumbling. The handheld unit snaps on and off without a struggle.

The handle tilts *all the way...

Pros: Cordless. Powerful. Easy and Light. Cute. Fun?

Cons: Finding a good place to hide it and have it plugged in.

Review: I no longer dread the daily dog hair clean up. Perfect for hard floors and low-nap carpet. Finally, a product that does exactly what it should. Best purchase I have made in a long time.

Pros: quiet, works very well, looks really sleek

Cons: doesn't self clean

Review: My main floor is all hard wood and I have 2 kids & run home daycare. Can you say mess. This has been the answer to my dreams.It's so easy to zip around and clean up mess. My house has never been so clean. It is also quiet, I don't worry about using...

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

The Bottom Line: Buy this vacuum if you've got a small place with no pets, or just want something for light pick-up between real vacuuming with a full-size upright.

Review: 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...

Pros: It did clean our hard-wood floors fairly well. Then again, so does a broom.

Cons: For the price we paid, and it's function, this was a terrible value!

The Bottom Line: Skip this one! A broom would work just as well, and cost a lot less.

Review: My partner and I have a 1930's, American-style Bungalow home with mostly all hard-wood floors. We purchased this item in hopes of cleaning both the floors, as well as the one throw rug we have in our dining room. When we purchased the vacuum at our...

Pros: Quiet;comes with charge base;lightweight;easy to use

Cons: Not enough power;has hard time picking up loose dirt in grout;short run time

Review: I am a clean freak and am constantly on the search for convenient ways to keep my home clean. I love everything about the Electrolux Pronto EXCEPT that it's not very powerful and it begins to run out of steam around 1200 sq foot of my 1600 sq foot...

Pros: Sturdy, powerful. Great on floors and carpet.

Cons: Absolutely nothing!

Review: I've been waiting for this model to arrive in Ontario Canada for the past 6 months - ever since I read the great reviews about it on epinion.com.

This little stick vac is fabulous! I just love it!!! We have kids and a dog and it picks up...

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

Cons: On the expensive side

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this to anyone looking for a quality stick vacuum that does what it's supposed to.

Review: 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...

Pros: Easy to use and lightweight.

Cons: Stopped working after 6 uses.

Review: I purchased this vacuum because it is easy to use and because it got a lot of good reviews here. I did enjoy using it for a few weeks. However after a few weeks, it quit working. I wonder if most of the positive reviews were written days or a couple...

Pros: Well built, long charge life, strong and continual suction, easy to empty and clean.

Cons: None found yet.

Review: Since purchasing the Electrolux Pronto, I have been absolutely thrilled with it! I am an admitted clean freak, and this little vacuum makes life much easier and tidier. I use it on low speed for my tile and wood flooring, and then on high speed for...
