The Electrolux Ergorapido 2-in-1 Stick is a 2 vacuums in 1, a combination stick and handheld vacuums that easily fulfills all your quick cleaning needs with its powerful 12 volt motor. It is versatile too plus it has cleaning attachments and cordless convenience that allows easy cleaning in, under, and around anything.

The power head of this unit has a motorized brush tool designed to clean bare floors and area rugs. It is capable of swiveling 180 degrees to thoroughly clean around corners and furniture. Aside from the built-in handheld vacuum cleaner attached to it, the unit also has accessory tools attached such as crevice nozzle and dust brush cleaning attachments that are all stored neatly in the charger stand. The charger stand provides a neat place to store the attachments and the vacuum itself when not in use, at the same time it keeps it charged so it is always ready to use. Initial charging required is 24 hours but the charging when the battery gets used up will usually take 15-20 hours.

The unit is also easy to use. It has finger-tip controls that the user can use to turn it on/off with two speeds, high or low, and the handheld has on/off. This unit is bagless but it has a cyclonic dust cup with more powerful cyclonic suction technology that maintains suction power longer with an easier to clean filter system. The Electrolux Ergorapido 2-in-1 Stick has 2 filters, a pre-filter for large particles and a secondary filter for fine particles.

Emptying the dust cup is easy and it can be done in two ways to empty the dust cup, vacuum out the dust cup or use the release buttons, remove the filters and empty into the waste basket. This way there is no need for you to touch the dirt.

The Electrolux Ergorapido 2-in-1 Stick is very easy to assemble as it easily snaps together needing on 1 screw required to secure the handle. This unit is also easy to maintain as well, the filter is recommended to be washed every 3rd cleaning or when the suction powers seems less powerful. In between cleaning, the filter has a built-in cleaning mechanism that shakes dust off the filter but a thorough cleaning on the filters and dust container is recommended every 5th cleaning.

Advantages
The Electrolux Ergorapido 2-in-1 Stick has more power compared to the Electrolux Pronto, and since it is cordless, users will enjoy the no area restriction cleaning. The vacuum cleaner is also of good value because user will get two vacuum cleaners for the price of one.

Disadvantages
Despite its awesome advantages, the unit has its downsides such as having no sealed HEPA filtration system, does not work well on thick carpeting, do not stand on its own, and the dust bin needs to be frequently emptied.
