Electrolux Ultimate 800
The hoover lies well in the hand and, compared to the Ergo-Rapido, it also seems lighter when slaloming around the table legs. The stand seems a bit wobbly, but is completely stable and does its job well. But the docks for the accessories are a real flaw. Not only in terms of appearance, but also in terms of device development. You almost can't get them onto the stand tube. When you think they're finally locked in place, they suddenly whiz back down again. I promptly scratched my stand tube with this stupid tinkering. On the third attempt, they finally clicked into place. The connection between the dock and the accessories, on the other hand, is perfect.
When you press the power button, it takes forever for the vacuum to switch on. That means you press it, think it hasn't registered, press it again - of course just when it would have started - and then you press it again.
The operating instructions - well, um, ts. It's not a manual at all. It's a big sheet with drawings on it. There's no text. Basically, I think pictures are good, but they should also be meaningful. Unfortunately, the Electrolux drawings are not (never) that. I would strongly recommend not to use paper at all, because in the end you have to look up most of the information as a film on the internet anyway.
Good product with some room for improvement in details

Mixed feelings. Portable battery vacuum I really like, handles well, looks good and you can feel quality in your hand. As well, it has lots of power in TURBO mode. But power comes at expense of battery life - with hard floor nozzle, battery does not last 10 minutes in TURBO mode for me. In auto mode it last longer, but I was not able to achieve anything close to 60 minutes

I've had it for two years, since then it's broken twice under warranty. Fortunately, Electrolux has a repair centre in Scwheiz and the vacuum cleaner is back within 2 days.
