hi guys Megan Willerton for CNET here with a review of the Electrolux precision brush roll clean this $309 vacuum sits in the mid price range but it offers a lot of higher-end features for starters let's look at design there are a lot of things to look at here but I'll just walk you through the key features first of all the handle up top doubles as a wand that you can release easily to get it hard-to-reach places the handle also has a feature where you can adjust the amount of suction you want it also comes with two different attachments one is a dusting tool and the other is a versatile so it can get in crevices or on stairs other hard-to-reach places I also really like the bin on this vacuum cleaner it's clear so you can see how much dust and dirt you've accumulated and it's incredibly easy to remove and snap back into place this vacuum cleaner also comes with the HEPA filter also unique to this vacuum cleaner is the height adjuster so you can get small and big particles by far my favourite feature of this vacuum cleaner is the brush roll clean technology if your vacuuming up stuff that gets stuck in the brush you can just push down the brush roll clean peddle and it will suck everything that's stuck in there up into the bin so you don't have to do it yourself so I tested this $309 vacuum cleaner against the six hundred and fifty dollar dyson DC 41 the $399 dyson dc40 the $399 auric bagless touch and the $199 shark rotator pro lift away we tested how all of these vacuum cleaners stand up against fruity Cheerios sand and sawdust mix pet hair human hair and a combination of washers nuts and bobby pins you're welcome and we tested all of those different things on a short carpet a thicker carpet and hardwood and what I learned was that the Electrolux does incredibly well it did have some problems collecting clumps of pet hair and fruity Cheerios from hardwood but I use the brush roll clean technology and it sucked everything right up to the bin compared to the Dyson's and even the Oreck vacuum cleaner it didn't pick up as many bobby pins nuts or washers but as a regular consumer I'm not sure I really cared that much one difference between the Electrolux and the other four models we tested is maneuverability the Electrolux does do well but it doesn't have the same rotator ball or swivel feature as some of the others overall I really love this vacuum cleaner I would highly recommend it especially compared to the more expensive models it still does incredibly well and it's much less expensive thanks for hanging out i'm megan Willerton for cnet.com
