Manufacturer's Description
The Electrolux Enviro Vac doesnt compromise on performance despite only being 800W and is therefore ideal for those who want to help the environment as well as save money on electricity bills. The Enviro Vac also offers an easy to clean HEPA filtration system with the filter positioned separate from the dustbox so it doesn't have to be cleaned as often as other bagless filters.

Cheap and cheerful
Bought this vaccum cleaner in a hurry when my old Dyson cyclinder gave up the ghost - partly swayed by reviews here and the fact that it's a 'green product' - and it's cheap! The good points are that it really does pick up dust and pet hairs effectively. Also, I like the way the attachments are all kept together on the vaccum cleaner. I don't mind cleaning out the dust after each use, it's cleaner that way. However, there are some negatives. Firstly, it's incredibly noisy. Secondly, it's just the wrong height/weight for me (I'm short) and the angles on the tools are rigid. I get twinges of backache after vacuuming. The powerful suction which is superb on fitted carpets is a hinderance on rugs for obvious reasons. There is no 'quick air release' function which is pretty standard on most vaccums to stop this problem. It's less efficient on hard floors than carpet. Surprised how 'clunky' and heavy it seems after using a Dyson - no finesse. But it is a staggering £100+ cheaper than the last vaccum I owned and it does the job.

Interesting design and good colouring, but heavy to handle
Heavy to handle is the only downside to this neat piece of kit from Electrolux... who,in the heady olden days had an ad that said 'Nothing sucks like an Electrolux'!!!
The tools are easily to hand, there is a very generous long flex, HEPA filter system, and the dust bin is simplicity itself to empty... though I would recommend doing this outside, and up wind, or you will get dust everywhere.
It is on the noisy side, but the motor is good, and it certainly cleaned my test handful of biscuits up in a flash.
One odd thing though is that this is sold as an 'Envirovac', but comes with loads of non recyclable polystyrene packaging. Maybe I have missed something, somewhere......

Very impressive cleaning
I had a dyson cylinder vacuum before this which I thought I was pretty happy with. It has prob lost a bit of power as it's a few years old but I thought it did pretty good job.
The electrolux took a few minutes to put together as the handle has to be screwed to the top but when it's done it's a very impressive looking machine. Not as heavy to carry around as I expected and the cup where the dirt collects is very easy to empty - even easier than the dyson and much easier to see exactly how much dirt has collected.
Before hoovering you need to change the dial depending on what sort of carpet you are hoovering long pile/short pile/ hard floor etc. It is fairly effortless to hoover, feels very light and has a bit of a pull to it to help you along. No louder than my dyson I don't think.
Best thing about this hoover tho is that it picks up a lot more dirt. I hoovered with it straight after had hoovered with my Dyson when I thought my carpet was pretty much clean and the electolux brought up a substantial amount more dust and fluff - I was quite surprised. I guess the beaters must be very effective at chucking it up, the only worry I have is whether the beaters are reducing the lifespan of my carpet. I need to do a bit more research into this before I adopt this as my primary hoover.
Overall though I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with this hoover. The eco friendly stuff just makes me feel even better about it.
