Electrolux EL1000A2 Pronto Bagless Stick Cyclonic Vacuum Reviews

We recieved this vacuum for Christmas from my mom who purchased it because we have a lot of stairs and I am constantly wrestling a large vacuum to get all the dog hair off of them.  This vacuum doesn't really excell on stairs or long carpet but I love it anyway.  We have quite a bit of Pergo flooring upstairs and short pile rugs in the walkway and kitchen so this is perfect for those.  I keep it plugged in, in the broom closet and it's always ready for use.  Also, the filters are really easy to manage and clean...it comes with extras but they are washable so about once a… read full review »

I purchased the Electrolux Pronto mainly looking for something lightweight and cordless to pick up kid messes in the kitchen, i.e. crumbs, cereal.  Most of everything I tried to vacuum up ended up pushed around the floor. Everything had to be pretty miniscule in order for this vac to pick up. Now the removable handheld vac is another story. That was awesome, it would pretty much pick up any cereal size crumbs and debris. Only thing is, I'm not looking for a vacuum that I have to be hunched over on the floor to pick everything up.
