apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Jump!

I am a neat freak.

Oh, so in for this one! What a great solution for small clean-ups.

Oh we need this! Our cordless dustbuster stickvac of a similar design is quickly dying after only 6 months of use...it's the only vacuum we have, so I'm about to resort to borrowing a neighbor's vacuum until we can do the research for one that will survive a bit longer...

I have a small condo with tile floors, sisal carpet and area rugs. I would love it if this vacuum could do the trick. It's small, looks cool and is designed for this kind of floor.

I've got a brand new place and have been looking for a combo vac/handheld. This would be perfect.

i love it! It would zip throught my 1 bedroom in a few mins.

I have been living sans vacuum for 3 months now. Save me from the dust bunnies!

I think this has been sold in the States for a while as I have seen this exact vacuum while looking for a stick vac a couple months ago. Here, it goes by the name of Electrolux Pronto.

w00t!

anyone else feeling that the guy in the pic is looking at the vaccuum as if they've just had really excellent nookie?

WOW! What a spiffy little thing. I must have it... my cats and house mate would be very happy!!! :)

pretty please

my dirt devil cone is quite cute.... but NOT cutting it!

With a small child who is just learning to eat with her "pincher fingers" most of the food ends up on the floor. This would be great to keep in the pantry and use after each meal!

It is a handsome vacuum. I can see why the guy in the pic is so smitten.

I'm throwing my hat into the ring! Come to me, you cute little vacuum!

That looks fantastic! I would clean so much more often if it was this convenient.

I moved three weeks ago into a small apartment with stairs that are covered with blue carpet. I am the owner of two white cats. I have never owned a vacuum and I have a feeling this would be a purrfect solution!

I inherited my vacuum cleaner from my mother who apparently inherited it from hers. I don't really know that it sucks in the literal sense anymore.

my hand vac makes my apartment smell like dog every time i use it. i do not have a dog. i need this.

I have this in red and bought it when I moved to my new apartment, about two months ago. I purchased it from Target. I love it and use it almost every night as I clean up my kitchen. Needless to say I have some obsessive compulsive tendencies! Don't we all? ;)

Pick me, pick me! This is slim and can squeeze into our one car garage easily (when the car's residing in there with it!).

Great, I want one!

I'm sorry; I didn't read the instructions. I don't need it. I just wanted to confirm that it's a great vacuum cleaner!! Good luck to all!

Cute!

need to throw my hat in the ring--grandma's vacuum isn't what it used to be!

Looks great and useful and small -- what more do I need? Here's hoping.

Oh I would certainly put this through its paces! I have the triple threat: pet hair, litter, and a messy husband.

Ohhh! I could use this!

Those dust bunnies are elusive little suckers! Maybe I can finally get'em with this Electrolux Vac!

Please end my ceaseless pursuit of the perfect stick vacuum cleaner.

I've never thought I'd describe a vacuum as pretty, but wow, that's some pretty vacuum. :)

Fantastic, my fingers are crossed!

I'm in!

I like the two-in-one function.

A long haired grey kitty, open windows, and 3 different floor surfaces in my apt mean that something always needs to be vacuumed. The problem is that I hate vacuum cleaners---noisy, heavy, ugly . . . . Ergorapido, Save Me!

I'm assuming the man comes with it....
I can't win anyways, I'm canadian:o(

Ooh, I need a hand-vac! :-)

That looks so awesome - perfect for picking up all the pet hair in my house.

I don't have a cat. I don't have any children. So why do I need this machine? Because I have a forced heating system that is shooting up dust bunnies, well, dust bears is more like it. I am sweeping the house everyday like a mad woman to keep up with this dust invasion. Swiffer sweeper is just not enough. For the love of cleanliness and for all that is good, please give it to meeeeeee.

It's a seriously post-coital stare. Creepy.

Very nice.

I'd love one, to clean my mico mini apartment. My current
vacuum is a cheap dust buster, I need an upgrade.

Looks like it might be what I am looking for for my small cleanup jobs in my small house.

My apartment is so small a regular sized vacuum cleaner would take over!

Need one now!

I have a small place, two kids, and hardwood floors... it's perfect!

ooh. i've been eyeing electrolux's Pronto 2 in 1 recently. I wonder if this one's better...

my husband and i just moved into a 310sf apartment, we need clean-up help!

wonderful--we could use this to clean under our new bed!

New York City small is like to no other small I know. And despite what one would think, small can be hard to clean, what with minor disorganization making a 400 sq.ft. place look entirely out of order. Seems only right that a New Yorker should be compensated with one of these. Why not me!

So I have the West Elm felted wool cable rug that is shedding like crazy, I have two and four year old girls and no vaccuum cleaner!! This one would get me off of my hands and knees with the dust pan and brush. Pleeeeaaase take pity on me!

Two cats! 'nuf said. That green one soooo goes with my lime green wall, I'll take it! well, if I'm lucky.

I would love to convince my allergy prone partner that we do not need a huge vacuum to clean up the house!

Nice :)

That would make my Christmas!!! Yes indeedy.

Ooh, this sounds great. Count me in~

a good, cute vacuum cleaner IS actually on my christmas wish list! I have a small dirt devil that is good for nothing except cursing at it while it pretends to pick up lint off the carpet.

My house is such a mess, another vacuum might just do it.

Since my vac is on the fritz, this would be a wonderful replacement!!1

I have two of these, one for the city, one for the country & love them!

OMG.....i want this! I hate lugging around my big vacuum cleaner up and down stairs...this would be perfect for the many stairs in my townhome!

Uhh....I purchased one of these at Target months ago...am I missing something here??

The only thing that would lessen the pain of having to throw out my Nana's unrepairable torqouise Princess vac from the 50s would be a fancy gold one.

wow, i'd love one of these

I would love to win this.

I'd love this.

I would like to enter! Thanks!

Even my Grandchildren would love to use this!!

I wouldn't store this in my closet, it would be a display piece! Hopefully it can get the cat hair out of my carpets.

I would use the hell out of this.

"The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of its filling a vacuum, it makes one." -- Benjamin Franklin

This vacuum looks great. We could really use this. Thanks for offering this contest.

my apartment would love this. it might make me a convert from sweeping my rugs.

Oooh! Perfect for my new home!

Wonderful for home and office!

the husband would LOVE this

Yar!

I could really use this. Both now and in my planned move.

So cute!

I never win anything, but hope springs eternal....Nice design btw.

Me of me oh me....I NEED this, and I love to vacuum/sweep!

I HAVE A 25 LB CAT WHO SHEDS LIKE YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE. I NEED THIS!!!!!

XOXOXO

-EMMA

I have two cats and a boyfriend who refuseS to take his shoese off and my apartment is the typical tenament in LES.
Necessity is the mother of invention and I am her child. Give me!!!

vroooom.

My daughter is coming home from college today. Please, I need one!

This would be perfect for my 600 square foot apartment with wood floors. They are constantly in need of a good sweep or vacuum!

I have been searching for something just like this! Count me in.

"SWEET" I would love to have one........... I need a new vac.

I could use something lightweight like this. I think it would make vacuuming more spontaneous.

Need...new...vaccuum...

very modern ... a real work of art.

Why? Cause I'm all about AT. I learned about FLOR from AT. Bought some FLOR tiles which look great. And now I need a sexy new vacuum and this fits the bill.

That picture is hilarious. I think that guy is thinking dirty thoughts.

i've been looking for new vacuums that don't cost an arm and a leg all week online!! this is beautiful...

I'd be willing to try it out.

Umm yes,

If I win do I get the vacuum AND the man pictured above? Because I might be willing to do a timeshare on the vacuum with the other 91 contestants if I can have that Man shipped to me by my office Christmas party later this month...

A few years ago my parents gave me a dirt devil for Christmas. Within 30 seconds of it's first use it sucked in the window blind cords, made some scary sounds, started to smoke, and promptly died. I promise I would take better care this time around!!!

I would love this

This would be wonderful - I want to win this!!!

yes please!

A very sleek vacuum and I could use it.

What a perky little vacuum! Perfect for my apartment.

Yes. If I win this I won't have to spend money on a roomba!

There's not much difference between this snazzy blue one and the red one I'm holding in my hand....same design, same company, different color, different name. How fast can you get to Lowes?

i have this vacuum; it's fantastic! it is especially great on hardwood floors.

you can buy it at bed bath and beyond.

Cute! I would LOVE to have a cordless vac that actually works...and to not have to bend over/crouch down would be a bonus.

I just moved into an apartment with my younger (aka dirty) brother. Pick me!

I need vacuum cleaner so bad!! I just adopted a big dog at our apt. and having a hard time keeping it clean! Please~~!

2 cats.

I need it! But I can't see any difference between it and the Electrolux Pronto, which is sold on the US Amazon site. Anyone know if they're the same thing?!

I'd love it! And so would my floors (which have to put up with one messy preschooler and one very hairy pug!).

This actually looks like fun - thank you!

This is the coolest looking vacuum I have ever seen!

This would totally fix my Swiffer withdrawal.

Sounds great with my new carpet, add me to the drawing please.

I would like to win this vacuum. Mine is heavy and big. My condo is small.

That would be perfect for me with two cats! Thank you for the contest!

I desperately need a portable vac for the stairs and I'dbe delighted to review this for ya. I have hardwood floors, carpet and vinyl and three cats. We can definitely give it a workout!

Does the man come with it!

I am raising my hand. I need a tiny vacuum.

It wouldn't SUCK to get this one. :)

two words, dust bunnies!

OMG this looks like the skinny cousin to my electrolux oxygen canister vac! I love my red little friend :-D I bet my vac wants a family reunion ;-)

my 700SF say 'pick me!'

Would really like a new vacuum cleaner.

my extremely fluffly cat would love this!

Perfect for my teensy weensy apartment!

Is it wired for the U.S.? What colors does it come in? What is the exact size?
I am very discerning. Which is why I should move up 123 spots to give it a whirl.

I want this for my home. My old vacuum doesn't work well.

I was looking at that vacuum the other day - or one very similar on woot. Love it. Count me in.

This would be ao wonderful. My vac died and there are 10 of us and a dog. Gosh, can you picture it!

I desperately need a new vacuum cleaner! This would be perfect for my tiny apartment since I have little room to store it!

I'm a poor college student that likes cleanliness. Please!

i need this! there are dust bunnies everywhere.

If Santa dropped this off for me it would be a very merry day indeed.

Handy Dandy

I need this. My bunnies who live in my 10x10 bedroom are molting. And my Roomba is dying...

I posted my bunny-infested bedroom last winter. Since then, I have moved to a tiny studio... I might submit to smallest coolest this year, if my room isn't so dusty. :-/ ;)

Since cat hair is a condiment around here, I could use a vacuum like this!

neato!
awesome colors too!

i would love this for my apt.....

Gorgeous! And perfect size...

A cool looking, compact vacuum cleaner - perfect! And in gold! Get out of here! I can just see myself now with my 1 year-old daughter on my hip as I easily clean up her breakfast, lunch, and dinner messes that she constantly throws from her high chair. (Ok, so maybe the cleanup would have to wait until my baby was asleep...or, better yet, maybe she would want to get in on the action and learn to vacuum herself!)

What a great idea!!!

It really sounds like a neat vacuum cleaner.

Love the detachable mini vac!!

this would be so great in our house!

when people say, I never win anything, I'll be able to say, I won a vacumn once.

(but a really cool one)

pick me, pick me...

would love to win this one!

i'm so in (green please) :)

FYI:
this is NOT a CARPET vacuumn, see the gazillion reviews at Amazon.

Also, i spoke to Electrolux regarding the Pronto (which is actually made by another company) and there are 2 versions. The Electrolux EL1000A and Electrolux EL1000B and the later being the latest release. I think the B does some stuff the A doesn't.

wow! i think i could put my kid to work with this little cute!

I would love not to have this and not have to lug our vacuum up the stairs!

I so need this! I hope I win!

Look how shiny! I'm entranced.

How cool! I would love one of these.

Desperate Virgo here! Inside my messy apartment is a clean one begging to get out. And now, with an injured shoulder to boot, I've given up on trying to drag my sucky little canister vacuum (and I mean sucky in a BAD way!) around corners and free the cord from everything it catches on. I really need this! (Plus, I could actually find room in the closet to store it, rather than leaving the canister/hose/attachments in the middle of the foyer because it's just too much trouble to stash all the components!)

I currently went thru 3 sweepers!!Piece of garbage!
I wish I can found a vacum that lasts longer and better quality.I don't use brooms anymore.Please let me win it so I can show off my new vacum.

this seems to be a perfect vacuum cleaner!

This looks easy for a temporary gimp like me!

My aunt has an Electrolux that is older than me! i have used Electrolux vaccuum all of my life and love it. would love to win this for quick pick ups in the kitchen and dining room!

Yes! Love it plus I'd be ready to do the floors in the first week of the home cure.

nice, i need a vaccuum.

I keep buying small vacuums in the hopes that they will work well. I'd love to win one, instead!

I love vacuuming.

i need one!

"Awesome' giveaway prize! How did you know we needed a new vacuum?!

wait, this thing comes in GOLD? awesome, everyone should have gold vacuum cleaners

My boyfriend would kill to use this to vacuum my place!

boy, could i use this!

This would be perfect for cleaning up all the goldfish cracker crumbs that are being ground into my rug, as well as the dustbunnies under the desk that I just cannot reach being 8 months pregnant and pretty much unable to lift the monstrous vacuum cleaner. And so pretty in red and green!

So cute!!!

Oooh! This would be perfect for my new place!

i have this. i only use the mini hand held part because after awhile the upright loses all power and doesn't suck up anything.

I would LOVE to try this out.

About a year ago, I took a piece of AT advice about and bought the shark hand-vac, which is awesome.

Unfortunately, as I was vacuuming the other day, I set it down on a chair next to the radiator. Next thing I know the cheap tube has melted in half from the heat of the radiator.

So now I could really use this!!

I think it was just on Woot for 50 bux. I could use it for my kitchen :)

Oh how I need this.

I would LOVE to try this out for you.

Perfect for quick sweeps about the place. I'd love one.

pretty!

I don't have a utility closet -- my vacuum lives in my bedroom -- and I would much rather look at this pretty sucker than the one I've got now :)

no crumbs on my toes

My cherry hardwood floors would LOVE you! My silver lab and black cat give them regular abuse - and I think they deserve a break, don't you?

i wonder how it would work on pet hair

I really could use this!

Love the look of it. My floors would like it and so would my doggy! Where can I find it here in the States?

I have a huge vacuum and a small apartment. This would be so much better!

Looks like a perfect vacuum for my hardwood floors. I'm in!

My mother-in-law told me I didn't need to register for a vacuum because she has a "barely used" one. What that translated to was an ancient hoover that hadn't been touched. It is the definition of bulky and is begging to be put to rest.

i can tell this is euro due to the man in the ad's jeans... anyone??

i need a new vacuum please! mine's ekto-cooler green and looks better suited for slaying the stay-puft marshmallow man than cleaning my floors.....

me me me!!

sorry for the double-post... but is he drinking some sort of blue cocktail? i'm confused....

I find this post confusing too. This vacuum has been available in the US for years now. You can get it just about everywhere, for $99 or less. There are 145 reviews for it on Amazon in the US:

http://tinyurl.com/2jeg8q

I have it and have to agree with sdmika, after a while the upright portion is useless and all you have is a functional handvac.

I'm entered.

I want one.

Pretty please! Thanks for the opportunity :-)

pick me!!!
nadine

Now, I don't know if I'll be 'dating' my vacumn (like the guy in the picture seems to be...) but I could certainly use it to clean up around here! Thanks!

shiny metallic gold like a robot?

I like! Please consider this my entry.

Pick me!

ME!!!!!!!!

I'm all about multiple functions, so no surprise that I fell completely in love with this one when I saw this on the net awhile ago.

Also perfect timing, as the little vacuum I currently own kinda died/started emitting burning smells =)

I need one really bad!

This would make a nice present

My little cordless vac just died so this would be good timing!

Would be wonderful for my soon to be finished polished concrete floors!

Here's to no longer having to tidy up using nothing but a ten dollar plastic broom and a paper towl.

Great design!! It looks lightweight and convenient, it should be a hit in the US market. I know I'll buy one.
Winning one would be so much sweeter!

love it. want it. need it.

OOOOh, I have to have the green one. Please please please pick me.

OMG.. I could really use that.. between the baby, dogs, and new puppy my hardwood floors look AWFUL.

Im bloggin ya too :
http://contestaddict.blogspot.com

Lovely!

I love giveaways!

This is so pathetic...my vacuum is broken, so I have to PAY someone to use theirs. This would make things so much easier!

I'm in. Thank you!

tres chic

WOOT! Count me in! :)

This A Pretty Neat Vac And Would Be Happy To Have One.

I'm in! We're sick of our vacuum...

I need a new vacuum and this would be so nice!

this would be an awesome win!

Great contest!!

I have had the Pronto version for one year. It's red; it's beautiful; and it's disappointing as a vacuum cleaner. Here are the drawbacks:

1) It doesn't pick up dirt on carpets.
2) The brush gets clogged easily, so it doesn't do a great job on floors either.
3) Because it is small, it needs to be emptied quite often.

On the bright side, it looks attractive enough to leave out and the little charge light acts as a nightlight, so I guess you could say that we paid $90 for an interesting nightlight.

I want to win this.

i have a tiny space, i could use this
