Electrolux EL1000B Pronto Stick Vacuum
It's the everyday home cleaning maintenance that people find most annoying. Yet every day we generate dirt. Here's a simple way to deal with it. Eureka Pronto acts as a lightweight stick vacuum to completely clean the hard floors in your home. Plus, with the push of a button, Pronto transforms into a powerful hand vacuum with a built in crevice tool, allowing you to reach everywhere. Pronto's cleaning ability increases with the 180 degree swivel head that lets you clean in, around and under anything in your home. Pronto combines a motorized brush roll with a cyclonic dust cup to increase its cleaning effectiveness. The cyclonic suction technology actually spins dust away from Pronto's two-filter system to help maintain suction power longer. And Pronto has two power settings. Choose between full power or, if someone is sleeping, select the quiet mode.
Emptying the dust cup has never been easier! Pronto's innovative design gives you three different ways to remove the dust without ever getting your hands dirty. You can remove the entire dust cup to clean the cup and filter, or simply snap open the front cover and tip out the dust. Also, the vacuum port allows you to vacuum clean the cup so you never have to touch the dust again. Pronto is always ready to clean, with a built in stand and no cord to worry about. You can even hang the charging station on the wall to save space in your home. Now you will never have to hide your elegant Pronto in the closet and it will always be charged and ready to give you a superior quick clean. Pronto lets you know when everything is running smoothly. When the brush roll is working, the blue brush roll indicator light will be illuminated. Powerful cyclonic suction with four-stage filtration; its no-bag technology saves money and hassle, too Permanent, removable dustbin is easy to empty without ever touching any dirt

| User Reviews |  | Great on tile floors!!
rating: 5
This vacuum is awesome on tile floors. Don't buy it expecting it to work on carpet because it does awful on carpet.
I had one and the battery died so I had to purchase a new one and I seriously couldn't live without it in my tile filled house!

Premature Death
rating: 1
This started out as a decent vacuum. It is double the price of many others and therefore I expected better than average performance. It worked okay at first, but then the battery stopped holding a charge. I've replaced the batteries on other rechargeables before and decided to crack this unit open. The battery pack is a series of 6 proprietary Electrolux (EMX1600CsS / 6213) NiMH batteries - countless searches have not yielded an exact replacement but 1600mAh batteries with tabs only run ~$2 a piece! I called Electrolux with the hope of being able to purchase replacement batteries, however the only remedy Electrolux offered was to replace the entire dust buster insert for ~$50 (I didn't even ask about shipping). What a waste - I'm recycling the batteries and likely going to purchase the Dirt Devil M083424 based on all 5 star reviews.

Promising, but flawed for use on thick carpets
rating: 2
This was my second attempt at purchasing a cordless vacuum. While much higher quality than than the Bissell GoVac, this unit is pretty disastrous on carpet. It works well on bare floors, but the swivel head goes out of control on our plush carpet.
So, I tried to modify the unit, by drilling and inserting a pin to hold the swivel head straight on carpet. Why Electrolux didn't engineer this into the product is beyond me. It would have been so simple, and so effective.
Anyway, BIG MISTAKE! I drilled a small hole, but neglected to note that the result drilled through the wiring, so now the unit doesn't work at all. Okay, I can't expect this to be covered under warranty. But my effort to repair the unit resulted in my discovering that parts are unavailable, and I can't figure out how to remove the head.
I would rate this item five starts for use on bare floors only. It is well built. But for carpets, forget it!

With new 1100 sq ft of tile, I needed a cleaning tool with a long handle. The Pronto Stick is perfect, efficient and easy to use. I can do several rooms or a quick pick up whenever I need it. Emptying the lint and dirt it also a breeze.

great design but no suction
rating: 1
I have tile throughout so I thought this would work well and make vacuuming a snap.
Unfortunately, the suction is almost non existent. It will pick up small crumbs and pet hair in the first minute or two of use and then it is down hill. I have a golden retriever and the suction couldn't even handle the hair. Instead of sucking it in it just wound around the brushes.
I love the design of this cordless rechargeable vacuum. It is light and sleek and the hand held tucked inside the vacuum is a great idea. Too bad it has so little suction and battery life. I returned mine after 3 days.
