My favorite pair of Naturalizers? Without a doubt, they would be the Naturalizer Javas. (see below)

They are made of genuine leather and are super soft. They feature round metal embellishments on the vamp that look like coins. They are cool enough to work for the gladiator trend, but they are not limited by that. They have classic styling with an adjustable ankle strap ensures a great fit. Comfortable smooth lining and a super cushioned insole that features N5 Comfort Elements! Plus they feature a comfortable 11/2 inch heel that is not only easy to walk in, it’s easy to RUN in, which is great if you have kids! (View my full review here)

Electrolux Nimble Vacuum Review & GIVEAWAY! *CLOSED*

The newest vacuum from Electrolux is one flexible little household appliance and is appropriately named “Nimble”. And nimble it is! This thing has an amazing, dirt-fighting swivel action steering system and powerful cyclonic technology that never loses suction*.

Electrolux Nimble Vacuum

I got the platinum version (pictured) to review** but it’s also available in a bright green, exclusively at Lowes.

Nimble’s innovative design puts superior cleaning on the fast track, even in a home full of obstacles. It easily swivels around furniture, stray toys, dogs, or whatever else is in your way! The vacuum’s amazing swivel action guidance system goes right around corners smoothly to clean tight spaces like hallways and even small apartments.

It weighs around 18 pounds, which is relatively light for a vacuum of this caliber. I’ve used other upright vacuums that weigh about the same or more, that weren’t nearly as amazing as this machine. It maneuvers around furniture with ease!

3-in-1 Versatool

An innovative 3-in-1 Versatool™ tightens to reach into crevices, expands to fit stair steps and opens flat for upholstery. It works great! I had a little trouble with it falling off the vacuum while i was running around, but I’m a pretty intense person when I vacuum. I like to get in and get right down to business as fast as I can. So yeah, the attachments went flying off while I was going through the house 150mph… I don’t think it’s the vacuum’s fault though!
.
The Quick-Release Telescopic Wand and hose combination extends cleaning to 14 feet of reach! It’s extraordinary! I can actually reach up to the top of my stairs with this vacuum! My other upright vacuum (I won’t mention the brand name here) only reaches half way up my staircase. Then I have to lug the darn thing all the way upstairs, extend the hose and attempt to vacuum the other half of my stair case. What a pain! This vacuum made cleaning my stairs SOOO much easier!

 

So to sum it up for ya, there are 3 key design features that position Nimble as the ultimate cleaning machine.

  • Swivel Action Steering System
  • 3-in-1 Versatool
  • Quick Release Telescopic Wand

I also really liked the lights in the front of the vacuum so you can actually SEE what you’re sucking up under the couch and under the kitchen chairs. In addition to all those other amazing features, it has a HEPA filter!

My favorite part about this vacuum is that it’s SUPER USER FRIENDLY. My vacuum that my husband bought for me practically needs a user manual just to find the on/off button. The Nimble has an easy to locate power button, easy to find carpet/bare floor buttons and the handle release pedal is also easy to find and access. I find that to be a huge plus since those are big cons with my old vacuum.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this vacuum to anyone who is looking for a vacuum that is easy to use and is maneuverable and versatile. It has amazing suction power and it cleaned the carpet GREAT!

The vacuum retails for $299 and is available at Best Buy, Meijer, Sears, Target stores and Target.com.

 

We are giving away an
Electrolux Nimble Upright Bagless Vacuum ($299)
