Advantages: Compact and doesn't get in the way

Disadvantages: Not really powerful enough and doesn't last very long

I bought this product about a year ago for those times when you need to clean a small area, such as in the car or on laminate flooring without having to go and get out the big vacuum cleaner. The product has a stylish modern design and comes with it's own charging station which can be plugged in at the mains and has a LED charging indicator. It is a compact product that can be stored to one side and doesn't really get in the way. I bought it for £29.99. It is lightweight, has a 0.5 litre transparent dustbin and has wheels so that you can roll it across the surface .

After using this product I probably wouldn't recommend it. The machine isn't really powerful enough to pick things up from carpets and you can spend ages going over the same area repeatedly to try and pick things up - so not much use for the car. It works a little better on laminate flooring to pick up dust or crumbs that may have fallen but doesn't really last long enough to do a large area at once. The machine also has to be on the charger continously when not in use.

Summary: Good for laminates not so good for carpets

Hi. Thanks for the comments. I've edited the review to include info about the design, weight and price.

Whilst I agree that the vac only has 4.8V power if you go to the electrolux product webpage, which I read before purchasing, it leads you to believe that this product is suited for all surfaces including carpets. (From the product webpage: "By combining cyclonic suction with a motorised brush, the Ergorapido 2 in 1 can pick up hair and fibres, dust and crumbs from hard floors and carpets with ease" - http://www.electrolux.co. uk/node38.aspx?productId= 6810). In my experience this is not the case.

I hope the review is ok now but if not please get back to me and I will take further comments on board.

Kind Regards

Welcome to Dooyoo. A good start here but for the benefit of future buyers could do with a bit more info.

This hand vac only has power of 4.8V so its expectations can't be assumed to cope with smaller clumps of dust - there are bigger and more powerful cordless hand helds on the market that do better.

Also this is a wet and dry model, so a bit info would have been good there for the performance aspects. Other info such as Price, quality and general design such as weight, should also be re-considered. If you update your review please message me.
