AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers like the quality of the vacuum cleaner. They say that it does a great clean up, is easy to use, and affordable. They love the easy dump dirt collector, the washable dust filter, and the battery. The brush head really gets the debris up, leaving visibly clean streaks wherever it passes. The dirt doesn't stand a chance, and it's great for heavy duty vacuuming. The HEPA canister vac, which is great for getting into crevices, is also great for vacuuming up glitter. The secure brush housing with a straight dust path, and a secure brush head, make this the best cordless vacuum that they have had or used.

His....I mean "Our" Electrolux vacuum never died, we still have it. It has a bunch of attachments, still sucks amazing, but is incredibly bulky, hard to use and requires purchasing bags and dealing with the cord accidentally retracting a million times mid-vacuuming. With all its cons, it's still a revolution in my husbands eyes.
After a month and a half with this new vacuum I am finally able to write a review.
Pros:
1) I can see the dirt! The clear canister is incredibly rewarding to me. I love seeing how much filth I'm sucking up and it makes me want to vacuum more. Even my kids are excited by this feature. I vacuum waaaaay more than I ever vacuumed in the past because of this. It's very easy to empty the canister, taking just seconds.
2) It's CORDLESS!!! It might as well be the invention of the microwave. I can vacuum without limits, I feel so free!!!
3) Battery light indicates how much life I have left in the battery. I can vacuum for about 40 minutes on a full charge. There is never a weak suction, when the power runs low it shuts off. There is either a good suction or no suction. The charger lights up to reveal when it's ready again. I'm takes about 3 hours to recharge.
4) Size. It's so light and easy to move around. My kids (ages 6,5,5 &3) now fight over who can vacuum. I sit down eating bon bons while they take turns vacuuming the house.
5) There's a switch for tile/hardwoods floors and another for carpets. I have pure white shiny ceramic tiles covering my foyer, kitchen and kitchen seating area. I hate them, with a passion. I used to sweep at least a dozen times a day. Because this vacuum is so easy to use and portable, I just vacuum my floors now. See ya later, broom.
Now it's time for the Cons, because I would be lying if I didn't name a few;
1) I wish it came with another battery. I could vacuum all day long if I didn't have to spend 3 hours waiting for it to recharge. I use this time to fold laundry, which unfortunately this vacuum doesn't do for me. That's another con.
2) There are no attachments or even attachment kits available for this. Some times I want to get in the deep, dark places that are too hard for my vacuum to reach and it can't. So I don't clean them. So they are still dirty, and then I have to listen to my husband to complain about how his Electrolux could do it all. And that hurts. I'd like a small, fancy suctioning wand, is that too much to ask?
3) Hairy bristles. We have four long haired ladies in our house and I regularly have to cut our hair out from the bristles underneath. Maybe its because the bristle area is smaller than our big, bulky Electrolux, but I have to clean that area more than I did with the old vacuum. It's like another armpit to shave everyday, a small extra hassle.
4) The secret clog. I have had to do maintenance once on the area between the bottom and the frame. I used a skewer to jam in there when the vacuum stopped suctioning once. I pushed my suctioning limits when my dog ate her bed leaving stuffing all over the house. I wanted to save myself the effort of bending over & picking up the stuffing and instead caused myself 1/2 hour of unplugging. It was pretty disgusting. I recommend bending over for big stuff in the future. That may not be a con since it was my own laziness and sheer stupidity that caused it.
Overall I am very happy with this vacuum and my husband approves since I actually not only vacuum now, but vacuum ALL THE TIME now. I wouldn't do it it weren't convenient, easy to use and rewarding. Seriously, dumping the dirt cartridge is like getting rewarded with stickers in school. If it weren't already clear, I recommend this vacuum.
I did a lot of research and despite this vacuum not being exactly "what I wanted", I decided to get it because its was consistently one of the top recommendations (especially if you can't afford the dyson).
I'm so happy I got it and I absolutely love it! My biggest concern was the weight, because in my opinion that's key to easy maneuvering- more important than any particular design. I have to say that despite being on the heavy side it works great and I'm really happy with the suction- which is usually the biggest weakness of the cordless stick vacuums.
My place is pretty small (800 sq ft) and hardwood floors only (no carpets). I need a vacuum I can pull out quickly to clean the kitchen floor, pick up dry petfood and litter my cat is tracking everywhere. It works awesome and picks up everything! I use it more for quick, few minute clean ups rather than vacuuming non stop for 20-30 minutes so one charge lasts me more than a week.
I love the battery solution! No idea why people complain that there is no base, this is genius! My place is very tight and these charging bases taking up space in my closet used to drive me crazy, not to mention I had to run cables to the nearest outlet. Especially with my last vacuum as I was taking other stuff from the closet, I would accidentally move it off the base a little bit but then it wasn't getting charged. - it was never ready to use when I needed it. You can fit this tiny charger anywhere! And your battery will last if you just follow the instructions: you don't keep it in the charger, keep it in the vacuum, it's that simple. When it dies you charge it for 3 hours and put it back in the vacuum. Keeping it in the charger too long, not to mention constantly will ruin your battery - it's really not complicated.
This vacuum also does an amazing job picking up from the edges - I'm so impressed!
I think it's very easy to clean. I have pretty long hair and it's quite amazing how quickly a whole ball is wrapped around the filter.
I can't provide any feedback how it would work in carpets, but for fairly small place with all hardwood floors, it's a perfect vacuum. I use it quite frequently- sometimes few times a day, mostly to pick up litter, so I need something I can quickly take in and out without any "set up". I'm very happy with the battery life and suction.
UPDATE
I'm using this vacuum for few months and I'm still very happy with it. Great battery life and suction (for stick vacuum). I absolutely love the cordless/battery solution, and as long as you follow simple instructions on re-charging, you will have no problems with batteries.
I did discover one flaw (and a solution to it ). The brush is very effective at picking up hair, dust and pet hair, but it's so effective everything gets stuck on it and it clogs the entrance to the vacuum! It's also hard to clean - I mean it's not like you can just grab it and pull it off. I have long hair, also have cat and a dog and cleaning the brush is like a project.
I was getting very frustrated but discover a solution by accident. I was vacuuming my door mat once (the thick kind, with dense sharp bristles) and all the hair from the brush ended up on the door mat, like the brushes cleaned themselves. Everything was removed besides the long hair wrapped around rollers (but they can be easily cut off with scissors). I was pretty amused but thought I would have to clean my door mat now. Not at all! Just keep vacuuming, and you will pick up everything again and it will get sucked in this time. Hope this helps anybody who has the same problem!

ONE YEAR LATER and this vac is working just as good as new. Highly recommended and worth every penny.
18 MONTHS LATER and I'm still reasonably pleased. However, the battery indicator light seems to be a bit wonky. Goes to Level 2 immediately after start-up even tho I know it's fully charged. And gets to the flashing stage faster than it use to. But I think it still lasts as long as it did when new. Can't say for sure but I've never run out of a charge for the area I have to vac.
27 MONTHS LATER and I still recommend this product. Battery Life is still reasonable however the indicator light no longer functions properly. It starts flashing immediately even though I know that the battery is fully charged. I can live with this. Oh, I use this vac almost every day for 10 to 15 minutes.
33 MONTHS AFTER ORIGINAL PURCHASE: Well, I finally broke down and bought a new battery and, guess what?, my "malfunctioning" indicator light started working properly. So I guess the battery was wearing down after all. We use this vacuum almost daily, let's say on average 5 times a week for about 140 weeks. That's 700 charges on the battery. I don't know whether that's good or bad for a lithium-ion battery. The new one cost about $75 including shipping and exchange (from the U.S) so I figure it cost about 10 cents to vac our upper floor on a daily basis. I'm happy with the purchase but I did have a broken wire to the beater bar that I had to solder. Not an easy fix for most people.
46 MONTHS AFTER ORIGINAL PURCHASE: OK, so now we're getting some issues. For the THIRD time, I've had to disassemble the unit to repair a broken wire leading to the beater bar. The designers thought it was a good idea to have the wires pass through the swivel head to the small motor driving the bar. NOT!!! They crimp and eventually break. Three times now. Not an easy repair for most people I'd guess. But now we're approaching 4 years of service on two batteries so maybe that's a reasonable life span for something like this.
57 MONTHS AFTER ORIGINAL PURCHASE: We're on our second battery for this unit and it's starting to run down as I described above. Probably have a few more months before I'll need to replace. I notice that they are now $120!! And buying from the US at a 37% premium is probably not an option. The good news is my last repair job is still holding up but I'm thinking that this vac probably should be replaced soon. It'll be 5 years in a few months so not too bad. It starting to show its age.
