hi I'm Meagan Martin for CNET appliances and this is the Electrolux Peugeot rapido power this $229 stick vacuum sits in the lower price range but it has a lot to offer similar to the ultra power studio I also reviewed this has a nice design it has a cute little clear viewfinder so you can see the brush but this model is lighter than the ultra power studio it's less expensive and it offers more features actually it's just kind of strange but I really prefer this model to the other the most obvious difference is that it's a two-in-one machine so instead of the ultra power studio which is just a stick vacuum this actually doubles as a handheld vacuum so you can pop this out and use it on your couch or anywhere else you might want to use a handheld vacuum it performed better than the Electrolux ultra power studio but it still didn't perform as well as some of the other models we tested especially the hoover linx which is a hundred and seventy nine dollars it's definitely a cute machine it's maneuverable it works pretty well and if you like Electrolux I would get this one over the ultra power studio but if you want a solid upright vacuum for less I would go for the Hoover Linx and if you really do want to stick vacuum with other accessories like the handheld option I would recommend the dyson dc50 9 it is a lot more expensive at $499 but it offers a ton of accessories and its performance was great thanks for watching i'm megan Willerton for CNN appliances you
