To my rescue comes the Electrolux Pronto, a two-in-one cordless vacuum. It is one of those little extra vacuums that are so handy to have around the house when you want to do a quick pick up without using a full sized vacuum. It is a favorite accessory of mine because, though it would never take the place of a full-sized vacuum cleaner, it is so helpful and ideal for quick, hasty pickups when friends have called to say they are around the corner, or the dorm room needs to look tidy for the impromptu visit by parents.

In other words, the Electrolux Pronto is a wonderful idea for your own home or as a gift to anyone that you think would benefit from a vacuum that’s so nimble and easy to use.

But back to cats. I adore my two Siamese cats Truffles and HoneyBear but cannot figure out why the couches are so much more inviting than their expensive cat baskets. With this in mind, I bought a hand tool which every pet owner should have- the mini turbo brush and I introduced this to my zealous cleaning lady.

The next week she came to me literally beaming and asked if she could buy one from my company as she was so thrilled with the performance of my vacuum cleaner, and less than thrilled with her Kenmore which she said was always in and out of the repair shop. Sebo vacuum cleaners last of years, even with the amount of use she would be giving a vacuum cleaner. In the end, a better vacuum cleaner pays for itself and one less thing to take to the landfill.

The Sebo C2 is not the most expensive vacuum cleaner that we carry and does not have some of the bells and whistles that you might enjoy. For my own use, I want a vacuum cleaner that really cleans well, is tightly sealed so that allergens do not escape from its exhaust and is durable. I also want a good line of accessories that can clip on and off my vacuum without a struggle. And for good measure, I do not want to carry huge a vacuum up and down stairs or push one around giving me an unscheduled work out. So The Sebo C2 vacuum cleaner satisfies all those requirements. It is a little bit bigger than I would ideally like but if you have cats that shed, it is the price you pay if you do not want to be emptying vacuum bags all the time. In four years I have had no trouble with it at all, an occasional sticky cord rewind would be the only thing that I could even begin to critique it for. So like the energizer bunny this vacuum keeps going and going and I have no motivation to change it. I think my cleaning lady would cry if I changed my vacuum cleaner, she loves it so!
