Smart and stylish: the latest dust buster from Electrolux

Ever pulled out your old vacuum and, after labouring away with the big, awkward thing, wondered who on earth could design something not only so bulky, but just plain ugly? Well the people at Electrolux probably wondered the same thing. And from all that wondering, Ergorapido was born.

18V Steel Blue RRP $359
18V Steel Blue RRP $359

The latest Electrolux Ergorapido 2-in-1 vacuum boasts better cleaning of both floors and furniture, while simultaneously looking stylish and sophisticated.

Features include a 180-degree swivel nozzle and large rear wheels, allowing you to steer around tight corners and under furniture easily, and a detachable handheld unit for shelves and upholstery. The vacuum is also self-standing, which means you can “accidentally” leave the stylish airbrushed metallic inlays, streamline contours and clear nozzle panels out on display.

14.4V White RRP $279
14.4V White RRP $279

When you’re finished, just step on the pedal and whoosh – all those tangled fibres and dirt are sucked into the dust cup. 2-in-1? More like a million-in-one.

Available at electrical retails and major department stores in 18V Watermelon Red, Tungsten and Steel Blue, or in 14.4V White.

The pet friendly vacuum cleaner from Electrolux that looks like a transformer!

Apparently 63% of Australian households own pets. That’s pretty believable – I actually thought it would be a bit more. For all those people who come home to abodes full of cat or dog hair dust bunnies, Electrolux has tried to make your life a little easier. If, on the other hand, you’re part of a household that owns a pet snail, hamster, beetle or anything else that could potentially get sucked up into a vacuum cleaner, the normal warnings would apply to using these products.

Electrolux Ultracaptic vacuumThe main bugbear for pet owners with vacuum cleaners is the noise they make. I tried searching for a statistic on how many pet hamsters croaked after sudden vacuum turn ons but couldn’t find anything on Google. Maybe I should try Bing… but anyway, Electrolux has solved that by adding some pet friendly features to some of its popular models, namely quiet start-up and operation.
