this spiffy-looking vac has a lot going for it it's just not very good at cleaning serious this $150 Electrolux Peugeot rapido lithium-ion extra is very maneuverable it looks good and it's relatively cheap and that rush roll clean aspect is something that I tested on a full upright from Eureka which has the same parent company and the brush roll clean on that vac was awesome with this one that same mechanic just doesn't have the power to be anywhere near as effective now I don't expect it to keep up with Eureka Eureka is a full-size upright and stick backs shouldn't have the power of full-size upright but this doesn't measure up to the other sticks we've tested it tangles pet hair it pushes and flings Cheerios it doesn't have enough power to get up barely any of the sand that's in there and we've seen lots of stick VAX do those same tasks with much more efficiency again its maneuverable the head turns on a dime really really easily it's a two-in-one vac there's a hand vac right here it's all intuitive and the lithium-ion battery actually lasts a while but man this thing frustrated me during the tests on pet hair Cheerios sand everything I had to clean up after the cleaner the brush roll gets hair tangled in it really really easily to the point that during one of the tests it got so tangled that it stopped running because it was clogged so I had plenty of opportunity to test out that brush roll clean feature but it never really made a dent in cleaning up its own mess you can read a whole lot more about this and all the rest of our vacuum tests on cnet.com for seen it on Magica
