I am trying to decide between the "Hoover Linx Cordless Stick Vacuum" and the "EL1030A Ergorapido Ion Cordless", anybody tried both and what say you?

I've had 2 Ergorapidos, The first one the battery died after 1 1/2 yr, not replaceable so throw away. The second one the brush broke and it no longer suctions, but I can still use the hand vac. I bought a wired hoover, it has strong suction but I keep getting tripped up with the cord. I'm now looking to buy the cordless linx. I love th ergo when its new but do not recommend as it needs to be replaced too often.

I have the Hoover Linx Cordless and I love it. It picks up human hair, pet hair, dirts and anything else that's on the floor. I absolutely LOVE it and would recommend it to everyone.

Hoover Linx is great as a second vacuum. It's light weight and does a good job if you don't have a lot of carpet. The problem I had with it was that if you don't lock it in an upright positon and it falls, the handle breaks. This happened and I bought Linx to replace it and it happened again. This time I called Hoover and they sent me another handle.

Hoover is great for quick pick ups only. Don't even think about it if you have pet hair. I returned it right away.

The Ergo was great to start and then the battery started having a very short life each time. Non replaceable and zero support from the company. Will never buy an Electrolux product again

I have both! The Linx has more of a standard vacuum feel when using it. The Ergorapido is balanced differently and so took a little to get used to--I think it's top heavy.They both clean about equally on hard wood or tile floor, but the Linx has a bigger "mouth" area, so I think it does the job faster/more efficiently. The main thing is that the Linx works on carpet but the Ergorapido doesn't. I got the Ergorapido because I wanted the pull out hand vacuum. The Linx is perfect for our vacation house that is mostly wood with an area rug. The Ergorapido is perfect for our house with hardwood floor for part, and I can use the hand vac to clean the couch, but I have my standard vacuum for the rest of the house. I have both!

Ergo dies within 2 months. It no longer charges on the charger. Shame because I loved using it. Will try Linx now.

Just so you are aware there is NO replacement battery for the Ergorapido. I was told to just buy a new vacuum! When the battery wears out the machine is garbage. Hence why I am looking at reviews of the Hoover!

I purchased the Linx in Nov. it has worked fairly well on dog/cat hair, and it is used daily. I use it on laminate and wood floors, but use my dyson on carpet. I had to take it in to have it repaired today. Issues with the lithium battery I think but talked with customer service today and they told me it is controlled (the on/off button) in the handle. Probably a loose screw. I was disappointed when it wouldn't stay on. I hope the problem is resolved. I like the ease of use, light weight, and thorough.

If the vacuums were the Hand held Platnum collection, looks like they are the same.I just looked it up and saw a video on Amazon that said there the same.

I honestly would not get this unless you absolutely need a stuck vac. I just bought the DC50 Animal upright and LOVE it! The difference I believe is in the bristles in the brush. I would really suggest looking into the DC50 tho. It's a smaller, more compact upright, but just as powerful as a full size.

For me, I like the Hoover Linx because it has one speed for carpets and one for wood floors. My dad said always trust a hoover. I have bought other brands, but end up burying a Hoover.

I also have Panasonic platinum vacuum and its the best strength and lifting of all pet hair and anything. It cost about 230$ and I've had it for 5 years. The one you questioned is great for 90$ but considerable differance. I always get cheap version of everything but I was convinced by a actual vacuum salesman and I am very happy. I just recently go lesser panisonic for downstairs and keep other upstairs. The panisonic platinum is sold as a pet hair superior vacuum. It is worth extra 130$. Cheaper is a good value also and much lighter and quieter if that matters.

I would not buy this vacuum at all. The beater bar is not good and the hole where things get sucked up is too small and the smallest of things get stuck. Electrolux is a much better machine--I had one of those and will be getting one again.

Yes, it is excellent. I still have a vacuum with attachments but I use the AirRam exclusively on the stairs. It is lightweight and gets in the corners and edges. Being cordless makes it even easier going from one floor to another.

Just a quick note - I have this Electrolux, hard wood floors, and a dog. I also have the Dyson "animal". I am STILL looking for a solution as neither of these do the job in spite of the expense and hype! If anyone out there has found a real solution - please share!

I haven't tried all dyson vacuums however, my daughter has an animal 41. I wouldn't give it hoseroom. It's big, it's heavy and the size of the ball is very limiting (i.e. getting under tables and other furniture). The stick 44 has amax run time of 20 minutes on a charge and is absolutely fantastic for daily area clean ups. I prefer a hosed central vac system for vacuuming soft furniture and baseboards etc.

My daughter gave me one, so I tried it. First, I used my vacuum with the nozzle I usually use to clean out the lint. Then, I tried the Lint Lizzard. It sucked out an enormous additional volume of lint. You only need to use it once or twice a year. Well worth the price (or what it would be if I'd paid for it).

I owned 2. One was "Dead On Arrival", the second on only lasted for maybe 20 hours of operation. It worked well for the little time it worked. I now use an Electrolux Ergorapido. Much happier with it.

So it sounds like the roomba comes first or only. There seems to be more than one model. Which one should I buy for all linoleum and enormous fluffy dog hair piles.(Could be lesser piles if roombaed regularly) Please advise. Thanks.

I bought both of my Dyson's when the price was less than $350 - I bought two. I bought them seperately becuase after I bought the first one I decided that I would rather have one for upstairs and one for downstairs. I found that the attachments that came with them work well for me. I may buy the attachment for pet hair eventually but for now I do not need it. I have two cats. I absolutely love my Dysons. They work well on all carpets and the floors in my home. I have tried SO many vaccums and this is the absolute best. It is worth the money but I did wait until the prices were good - around Christmas was the best I have noticed. I am going to buy one for my daughter this Christmas.

Not familiar with Panasonic vacuums. We have had a Kirby, a Hoover wind tunnel and most recently an LG (who no longer makes vacuums). We bought then returned the Prolux. We tested the Dyson Animal, the Shark Rotator professional, the Electrolux (forgot the model). Then we went to a couple of local vacuum shops. Tried the Riccar and the Meile. We bought the Meile and very glad we did. It is worth the money.

I use the Eureka Boss mighty mite..but they have a pet vacumm too. I have owned at least 10 of these vacuums possibly more. I have been quite pleased BUT I did notice that there is a Eureka Sanitaire professional small mighty mite that I might consider. Here is the link to the pet one:http://www.eureka.com/index.php?option=com_productdisplay&view;=productdisplay&task;=getproducts&productid;=39&product;_model=3684F

Hi Mary, I have not had that Vac since sooo long, but, so far, so good, and a lot better, than a bagless vac! I have been trough several vacs, so far this one is the best. I love it, and I am vacuuming every 2nd day, because of our pet! It pics up debris a lot faster than any other vac.
