Dyson V8 Animal vs Electrolux Ergorapido

The stick vacuum is amaaaazing! I can clean the floors in my entire apartment in like 10-15 minutes.

Add in the fact that the Ergorapido weighs nearly a pound less than the UltraPower, and it's my vote for the most maneuverable traditional stick model we tested. The addition of a handheld vac doesn't hurt either. That way, you can transition from floor to detail cleaning very easily. I would like to see labels for the normal and high cleaning modes

We've got carpets French wooden floors and travertine limestone type hard flooring. So the VA animal has been given a thorough road test in the last s...

This is a better unit than the last four Electroluxes that I have purchased, but it cost a lot more too. It has more suction and a longer lasting battery, but emptying and cleaning the dirt container is a mess. One of the latches that hold the brush in place will occasionally release while vacuuming on an area rug. It could be better

The best vacuum for hair (in my experience) is the Dyson V11 Animal (cordless so it's convenient to use...so it actually gets used)

The internal filter can be cleaned by gently pulling on and releasing this cleaning rod. The other filter part can be cleaned simply by giving it a qu...

I would waste 15-20 lint roller sheets every day getting the hair off our bed before and it would never get them all. With this handheld accessory, I am able to get every single hair off in less than a minute of vacuuming. The same goes for the couch - I used to lint roll the couch every day, but now, I just use the vacuum. Because this is cordless and easy handheld, it also makes it easier for quick cleaning and touch up vacuuming

The cleaner is light weight. It maneuvers easily. Using the detachable cleaner works well. I had one before and it was the best light weight , easy to use vacuum

While the machine is not overly heavy, it gets heavy lifting and holding it (with these tired old arms).

That way I know that it's just got that much more suction power when it's done. You guys want to know more about that leaf blower, I'll put a link at ...

This V8 model like other model all have design problem. 1) The exhaust is blow out in wrong position, it blow right in your face especially when vacuum the position is high (ex. vacuum the ceiling or the stairway) 2) Battery life is short, only has 2800mah, it last only 7 minutes ( power mode when is new), can't even finish my stairway. 3) The particle vacuum in the chamber, they all stuck in front where the entrance is, not evenly around the chamber, never can fill to the empty line on the chamber

It is well made and designed. Bought because of Electrolux name and its powered with lithium ion battery. Hoping for long life.

And the pieces to take out the filters, clean the brush roll, etc have divots that you're supposed to use a coin to turn (seriously, that's so bootleg for a $250 machine) and of course those get worn down to where you can't even turn them after one go of that. I'm getting a Bissell or Shark today.

You can put another vacuum in there and basically pull the dirt and debris out, or you can empty it yourself manually. It comes off pretty easy. There...

***(3 yr update)*** After 3 years we moved on from Dyson. The filters just didn't last long, the battery life was bad to begin with but just got worse and worse. The power go weaker and weaker. On hard floor surfaces it had a really hard time sucking things up without just throwing it across the room

Maintenance is no fun with the Electrolux Ergo Rapido Ultra Plus. You have to empty the dust bin after every use. Then you need to tap out the dust on...
