My family has used Electrolux vacuums for over 65 years. I have my mom's canister vac which is about 65 years old. When we moved I could not bring it along. So I went and bought this Ergorapido. It barely lasted a year. The power is so low it cannot not suck up anything. I am truly disappointed and saddened. Don't waste your money try to upgrade if you are a die hard Electrolux fan.
