Life is too short to waste time using a crummy vacuum cleaner.

I have a theory that there aren’t many surfaces you can’t vacuum. In the past I’ve vacuumed carpeted floors, tiled floors, floorboards, lino, the lounge, the kitchen table, my niece’s bed, inside my car and I once vacuumed my favourite black pants while I was still wearing them due to a talcum powder spill. Most of it came out!

My mum is much worse than me. She doesn’t believe in brooms. She vacuums her curtains, the skirting boards and even the outdoor courtyard.

It goes without saying that both my mum and I need the best vacuum cleaner on the market. So far we’ve done pretty well with finding ones that can do more than keep up with us. We discuss vacuum cleaners like other people discuss clothes. What colour is it? Where did you get it? Does it come in different sizes? Should I get it too?

Just as an FYI, you should know that this advertorial is sponsored by Electrolux Ergorapido. 

The Electrolux Ergorapido two-in-one vacuum cleaner is all we need right now. It is a cordless vacuum cleaner so you can clean messes really quickly without having to coil and uncoil a cord and trip all over it. It is completely flexible and manoeuvrable with no assembly required. You don’t have to switch power points or anything. I’m almost ready to throw out not only my broom but my dustpan as well. Who needs those anymore? Plus, the Ergorapido is so cute, you’ll want to leave it out to make your home look even more stylish.

I have a bit of an obsession with coffee sugar. I like the sugar I use in my coffee and tea to be raw sugar or better still, the one that is made up of much larger granules. Tragically I spilled the most recent bag I purchased all over my kitchen floor and before my tears even dried, I was able to clean it all up, before leaving the house to buy more because there was no way I was going through the next morning without my beloved coffee made with fancy sugar. Life’s just too short!

Milly my cat is a completely different story. I think I run my home, but really she does and as she is a white-furred cat, she likes to make her mark on everything including the furniture, the rugs and even on top of my laptop where she prefers to sleep, I think because it’s warm. The Ergorapido is a stick and handheld unit in one so you can easily clean up pet fur from all these surfaces. Whether it be pets or children or your own clumsiness, messes last mere moments thanks to this amazing vacuum cleaner.

Previously ignored parts of your home – like that small space between the bookshelf and the wall and behind the fridge – can easily be cleaned. And my car has never looked better. I always tell myself not to eat in the car but seriously, who can help it?

The high quality lithium ion battery lasts for up to 37 minutes in one go, plenty of time to clean up any home and it has such strong suction that your vacuum time will be much shorter. The new nozzle and motorised power brush make cleaning even faster. And forget having to clean out a gunky vacuum cleaner nozzle. The easy brush roll clean technology means you won’t have to do this, ever.

The LED lights, one of my favourite Electrolux vacuum cleaner features – helps you see the dust and dirt underneath furniture or around dark areas.

The Ergorapido is available at all major electrical retailers Australia wide for just $279 for the 14.4V or $359 for the 18V. So get yourself one, move on from messes quickly and enjoy the rest of your day and life.
