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.

    I don’t like my current vacuum because the hose is too short to use the tools effectively and I’d like to win this one because it appears I would not have the same problem.

  8. renee says

    I hate my current vaccum. It has lost its suction and I’ve been putting off buying another one. Your contest came just in time! ;)

  14. Tanya S says

    I really really need to win this one! My current vacuum is a filter queen, if you don’t know what that is that’s because they were made in like 1940 lol my dad got it for me from a pawn shop. It’s big, doesn’t move around easily and barely sucks up anything so I rarely use it. I have a pet Pomeranian who sheds and I have to pick up the fur by HAND :( I really hope I win this! I can’t afford a new one and I know if I don’t win this I will be stuck picking up everything by hand for the rest of my life lol :/
    I follow u both on Twitter.

  15. Shannon says

    I hate that my current vacuum cleaner is not an Electrolux. They’re seriously the best. And they live forever!

  16. Jenn H says

    I hate that my current vacuum is so UN-nimble! its a eyeing, and so freaking large and heavy to maneuver around.

  17. Debbie says

    The wheels are coming off my vacuum cleaner…it is really heavy to tote upstairs and it doesn’t do a very good job of cleaning our lightweight rugs.

  18. Rebekah says

    My current vacuum is called “Room Mate” and it is meant for college age kids… ya, enough said.
    It is tiny and doesnt do the job of cleaning the floors very adequately!
    This would be a WELCOME addition in my home!

  22. retha says

    what don’t I hate about my ancient hoover?
    1. it’s heavy
    2. it’s heavy
    3. it’s heavy
    4. I don’t think it’s sucking up quite as much as I’d like it to (literally and figuratively…lol)
    5. the bags
    6. it’s heavy

    did I mention I live in a 3 story house and we use ALL living spaces.

  29. Emily says

    My vacuum has lost it’s suction power and I cannot
    afford to buy a new one right now. Would love to
    win this :)

  30. Kristyn says

    Kristyn_Ann@hotmail.com

  32. Nicole says

    With 18month twin girls keeping a clean house is hard. This vacuumed looks like it works real well and would do a great job so I would have more free time with my girls. The vacum I have now does not suck up the dirt very well so it takes forever. I would love to win this vacume.

  34. stacey dempsey says

    Hate that my vacuum is so heavy, it doesn’t always do the job, reason I want this vacuum, my mother always owned an electrolux vacuum and remember it never giving her a problem, would love to have a vacuum that I love instead of hating

  68. Tyria Stona says

    My current Vacuum is the Bissell pet control vac. I don’t have a Pet but I do hair from a private section of my home. I got this vacuum because I thought it would be great at getting up all the hair left behind since I have slight OCD when it comes to cleaning but more importantly hair that is left behind. I catch myself routinely vacuuming my whole entire home over and over again due to the hair traveling from that section of my home finding its way around to the rest of my space. Even after cleaning the area the hair somehow stays around until someone walks in or out then it will follow him or her to another section of the home. I bought this particular vacuum about 4 months ago but I am ready to be freed from being a slave to cleaning hair day in and out. Please HELP ME!!!! Thank you,

  69. Aimee says

    I HATE that my vacuum won’t even pick up the big stuff!! I have to roll over it like 3 or 4 times sometimes to have it pick something up…at that point I feel like I should just bend over and do it myself! We have electrical tape on the cord and are missing a lot of the accessories. It was a hand-me-down and you can tell but since it still turns on we have more pressing things to spend money on. I WOULD LOVE TO WIN THIS VACUUM!!! It sounds amazing! : )

  70. NJJ says

    With my current vacuum I hate the dust scraper broke off the bottom and the crevice tools don’t reach as far! I definitely need this vacuum since it has a HEPA filter and has better higher reaching crevice tools!

  75. Laura T says

    My current vacuum is more of a “sweeper” style than an actual vacuum – I have to dump the little dust cup every few minutes (even if the carpet isn’t dirty- I have a dog) and it clogs frequently. So before I finish the living room, I have dumped the cup 2-3 times and unclogged the hose at least once. I hate it.

  76. llmg1960 says

    This is what I need

    I dislike my current vacuum because is died about 2 months ago. Both of us are on a fixed income due to the fact we both are disable due to injuries and illnesses there for a new vacuum is not in the budget. I have been using a broom on the carpet. I could really really use this vacuum

  91. Diana says

    I hate my vacuum cleaner so much b/c it’s heavy to lug around and never seemed to get all the corners and hard-to-reach angles around our sprawling house built back in the 1970s. Even a Dustbuster didn’t help much in way of controlling all the little food bits, cat furballs, and my long, black hair…a long-known killer of vacuum cleaners. Digging out hair knots and dust from within the vacuum is not my idea of a fun time!

    This vacuum seems like it just might make cleaning fun…and not give you huge arms or a broken leg from trying to reach way up high. ;) Now I’ve vacuum-less, as I threw out my old one onto the lawn for the city’s bulk collection.

  92. Melissa says

    My current vacuum absolutely cannot pick up all the dust and animal hair my two boys, two cats, and giant dog spread around the house! With a new baby on the way I’m turning into a clean freak and really need something that can get the job done!! Thanks for the chance to win!

  99. Doris C says

    Well I had a buily in but been taking the canister with me when I moved and I purchased it when I was single yikes! It started smoking a bit the other day so time for a new vacuum

  111. renee says

    I hate that my current vaccume plugs up every time i use it and i like the swivel of this one
    reneetaylor at sympatico dot ca

  125. Ashley says

    My current vacuum doesn’t suck up my cats hair. when It does it gets clogged and smells like it is burning up! I desperately need a new vacuum! thanks for the chance!
    agatewood1@ymail.com

  131. Dawn Nelson says

    My vacumn is SO heavy I can barely lift it! It doesn’t have a hose long enough to clean my stairs without teetering it on two stairs which I am sure is going to kill me someday! I am disabled and it would sure help to have a lighter vacumn cleaner.

  133. Sumeet says

    My 2 year old is scared of the vacuum sound so I end up vacuuming while carrying her! This vacuum sounds like a back saver.

  145. Mabel says

    I shed almost as much as my cat, and my old vacuum just cannot handle it. Would love to see how this one handles all the hair!

  148. Catherine pallas says

    I just don’t don’t like my vacuum! It is clumsy,heavy and hard to manuever. It requires bag a that don’t hold much dirt,so I am constantly empty the bag. The cord does not reach far, so dust is hard to reach. Please consider me for the vacuum give-away!!

  151. Bernadette May-Beaver says

    I hate my old vacuum cleaner! It’s so old, and it’s heavy, and it seems like it doesn’t even pick up dirt anymore — and believe me, my two young kids track in dirt! Most often I’m on my hands and knees picking up debris the vacuum left behind. I’d LOVE this new vacuum cleaner.It sure would make MY life a lot better!

  153. kathleen says

    i hate my current vaccuum b/c the belt is always breaking and its a pain to change it out

  158. Ruth says

    So I currently have a bissell and I hate that is has so many filters that need to be replaced on a regular basis. The hepa filter on the side is replaced very often and I find that it is often hard to find the hepa filter for the particular model. I also hate that it is not very maneuverable and the hose it super short for high to reach areas. I would love to have a new vaccuum because I have children and pets and I hate seeing pet hair so I am always vaccuuming. This vaccuum looks so versatile and I love that it has a very long hose!

  179. Jennifer P says

    I wish I could post a picture of my current vacuum. What a sad sight…the wand is two colors, the connections inside are broken and barely holding together, the vacuum head is taped to the end of the wand, the cord winder is broken off, the piece to hold the hose intake is broken off the body and held on by tape, the lower intake keeps popping out and spews dust all over the place when it pops…(and that list is off the top of my head, I’m sure there is more!)
    Do I need a new one…YOU BET!!

  186. Donna B. says

    My current vacuum sucks because it doesn’t suck anymore :( I want this one because (a) it works! (b) it’s bagless (c) I like the light in front, too and (d) free is the best deal you can get!

  204. Gracie-Lou says

    I cannot stand our vacuum. We bought it on a budget for $40, and the thing is a piece. I cannot count the number of times that I have been cleaning, only to look down and realize the attachment tube has come apart and is spraying the dust and dog hair all over the floor again! With a toddler in the house, it would be great to have a vacuum that actually got the floor my daughter plays on (and occasionally eats things off of) clean.

  212. Jeane says

    My vacuum has bags..do I need to say more!? And no sane person would call it “nimble”..cause it isn’t~!

  236. Teri says

    I despise my current vacuum because it DOES NOT WORK! I will purposely put down a hunk of fuzz to test the vacuum and after a hundred time run-over, the hunk of fuzz still lies happily on the carpet.

    I really want this new vacuum because my 5 year old son has extreme allergies and we really need a strong powerful vacuum to eliminate as much of the dust and household allergens as possible so he can breathe freely and play happily.

  256. Tracy P says

    I really hate how heavy my current vacuum is. We have 2 dogs, a cat and a 3 year old so the house needs to vacuumed at least once a day. It would be nice to not have to lug my vacuum up and down the stairs everyday!

  267. Julie Stringer says

    I HATE my current vacuum cleaner because:
    1. My husband picked it out and he is definately NOT the one using it
    2. It is cheap – looks cheap,feels cheap and works cheap
    3. It’s heavy and bulky
    4. We have 3 big dogs that are in and out of the doggie door all of the time, bringing in dust dirt and grass
    5. It is hard to change the setting from carpet to bare floor (almost break a
    finger each time I try to slide that sucker)
    6. It doesn’t like me either…. :)

  268. Cori Westphal says

    One thing that really bugs me about my vacuum is the hose length. It stretches probably 10 feet, but as soon as you suck anything, the hose sucks back up and tips the vacuum over. It is SOOO annoying! The hose might as well be 5 feet long because that’s about as far as it works. I love that this one has a 14 foot reach!

  281. Kittenish says

    My current vacuum is old and heavy and not easy to use at all. I want this vacuum because it’s maneuverable and will have enough suction power to actually clean the carpet.

  289. Josephine says

    I am tired of vacuums that are bulky, heavy, noisy and/or lose suction! I have a light-weight vacuum for downstairs, and the carpeted staircase and a clunky, heavy one for the main floor of my house. They both lose suction when half-full. The larger one is SO noisy! I need a high-power, easy to maneauver vacuum!

  290. Krystal Jarvis says

    The vacuum that we have now is a bissell and we’ve owned it for six years. It is exceptionally noisy so I can’t vacuum when my kids are napping or if my husband is working nightshift. Usually after vacuuming, I will steam clean and man there is a ton of dirt left over from our vacuum! It’s bulky, heavy, loud, and doesn’t do such a great job. Also, since my husband and both of my kids have allergies, I usually have to change out the filter and bag more than most. Also, it seems to get dust all over the outside of it and so that needs to be cleaned often as well!

  294. Sharon I. says

    I hate that with my current vacuum I have to go over the same spot 20 times to get it to pick up anything.

  296. Gail says

    My vacuum’s hose is so short that it is useless. The vacuum doesn’t suck..well it does but in the wrong way..up enough, so I end up going over the same area more then once. I can’t get around into spots I need to vacuum with either the upright or it’s attached hose. I have a joke of a filter on my vacuum that doesn’t help at all.
    The Electrolux Nimble looks like it resolves all my complaints and more that
    I have with my current vacuum.

  307. cheryl h says

    I hate the fact that my current vacuum is so large and heavy. I find it very hard on my back lugging that thing around the house and up and down the stairs. I’d love to win this one not only because of the cleaning power but the swivel action and quick release telescopic wand.

  315. Belinda M says

    I hate my vacuum because it does not have enough suction so tons of stuff is always left behind. I want this because I would love to own a good quality vacuum

  342. Amy Rouse says

    I own an Oreck and it has NO ATTACHMENTS. Worthless for getting into corners, up on couches, stairs, etc. Hate it. This one looks perfect for my needs.

  343. kdubya says

    I am in the market for a new vacuum, the one I have is a hand me down and doesn’t suck enough! This one looks like it does a great job!

  350. Julie Moore says

    I would be forever grateful if I won this Electrolux! I had an Electrolux years ago and it was the best vacuum in the world! It actually made me enjoy vacuuming, but my ex-husband got it in the divorce — I’ve missed it so much! :(

  367. Jessica C says

    I hate my current vacuum because it’s old as “dirt” and spits everything out the back. The hose doesn’t work, can’t get cat hair off the couches. And my son is constantly nagging me to get a new one (which I cannot afford to do lol).

  368. Ruthann Hughes says

    I was just thinking this morning how nice it would be to have a vacuum for the upstairs. I hate lugging mine up a flight of stairs whenever I have to clean the carpets.

  376. Deborah morris says

    Hi my vacuum that i have the cord is hard and tight it twist into knots and wraps it self around it self, it doesn’t reach top of stairs,the tools don’t clean the stairs.it claims it doesn’t lose suction but i feel it does, i got it because i was injured and thought it would be easier for me to keep the house clean but it has made it harder for me.since it cost alot for us my husband said i’m stuck with it

  377. Reema Richie says

    I don’t like my current vacuum because everytime I turn it on it smells like it’s blowing dust back into the air.

  378. jamie e. says

    I hate how are vacuum smells weird. A couple months ago it started smoking. My husband checked it out and we still don’t know why it started smoking all of the sudden. Since then it has a burnt smell everytime I use it.

  397. Anne Sheridan says

    I also have a premium cyclonic vacuum cleaner but it is SO heavy (26 lbs, without dirt, LOL!),I actually bought a “downstairs vacuum” because I cannot lug the cyclonic up and down the stairs. It would be so great to have all that power in the lighter weight Nimble as well as to have access to Nimble’s telescopic feature. Thanks for this great offer!

  405. Steph Jones says

    OMG:) The Electrolux Nimble Upright Bagless Vacuum would be great to have. I was just talking to a friend the other day about how having a great vacuum is key to keeping your house clean. I’m still using a Dirt Devil which I’ve had for well over 15years and have a rubber band around the upper piece trying to hold it together. For me, this is a matter of need over want. Would love to win and thank you for the opportunity – @StepSoSteady

  432. Allie says

    I hate my current vacuum because it STINKS! I have no clue why, cleaned it out, etc. but it smells dreadful and I have to decide if I want a dust-free floor or a decent-smelling home. I need to win this!

  433. amyrae says

    I have a hoover bagless that just isn’t getting enough suction to clean bare floors. It’s also heavy and hard to maneuver.

  434. Donna B. says

    My current vacuum sucks because it doesn’t suck anymore! I want to win this one so I can get all the dirt, dust, hair, etc. out of my carpets again!

  438. Jocelyn Harrison says

    I absolutely LOVE the idea and look of the new Electrolux nimble – not to mention the amazing 3 in 1 tool!! We have a split-level home so the stairs would be a breeze! My current vacuum is SO inefficient and heavy that it actually physically hurt me to use it!! I recently had invasive back surgery so my husband has taken over for now – and even he thinks our current vacuum is too heavy and overall just stinks! If i won this vacuum, i think we might actually fight over who gets to use it once I’m fully healed :)

    My current vacuum does not have good suction power any more. I took it to get repaired and it was going to cost $250 to fix it. I might as well buy a new one. I would love to win this to replace mine!

    I hate my current vacuum because it does NOT pick up the dirt , it just pushes everything around :( what to expect from a 8 year old vacuum ….

    Thank you for the review of the Nimble vacuum by Electrolux. My mom owned a vacuum from this company for many years and was heartbroken when it finally died because she loved it so much. I like all of the great features on the Nimble, but I’m also impressed by how sleek and modern looking it is. I could definitely enjoy owning one of these vacuums and would love to win one! My current vacuum is sooooo NOISY. Also, it’s a bagless vacuum cleaner, but I always have to take it apart and sipe it down with a damp paper towel to rid of all the dust it accumulates on the inner assembly. The thing I hate the most about my vacuum cleaner is that it’s like driving a tractor-trailer when I use it. It is so difficult to manuever. And, let’s not forget one teensy tiny irritating thing – it doesn’t have a headlight! Aaarrgh!

    I HATE that my old vacuum is about 30 yrs. old and weighs a TON!! I can’t lug that thing up the stairs without killing my back!!

  493. Jennifer Marie says

    My current vacuum’s filters are not working properly! I have to stop and dump the canister at least 3 times while sweeping my upstairs! That’s why I hate it! The reason I would LOVE to win this one is that it looks like I could maneuver this around my house very easily-the one I have now is way too heavy!!

  511. Shawna says

    What I don’t like about my current vacuum is that does not turn easily and does not do a good job of getting into the corners and edges of the carpet.

  512. Shawna says

    I’d like to add to my main entry above that the reason why I want this vacuum is because it is more lightweight and easier to swivel and get into those corners and edges.

    Also, I follow @Electrolux on Twitter as @ShawnaMichelle

  522. Crissy D. says

    I hate that my vacuum gets clogged within five minutes of vacuuming, I would love to have this vacuum because it would be great to have one that would get my floors really clean without all the hassle

  532. Nicole says

    My current vacuum sucks in a bad way and eats my carpet. My mom has an electrolux and I love it so much!

  537. neciea says

    my current vacuum doesn’t clean up the dog hairs like i think the electrolux will! i’ll let you know how well it owrks after i win :o) <3

    I hate the attachments on my current vacuum. It has just the standard attachments which of course are a pain in the butt. I love the attachments on this and love how it does stairs

    My vacuum doesn’t suck up everything and is bulky and cumbersome to use.

  579. Dianne K says

    I would love to win this vacuum as well mine doesn’t do the cleaning as it is supposed to.

  587. ms_fleur says

    I hate how heavy and clunky the vacuum I have is…I would love to have this vacuum!

    My vacuum is broken-that’s what I do not like about it! I would love to win this so that I can clean my house again!

      I am sorry-I looked at an above comment and wrote that person’s twitter name-boy what a long day-so super sorry! (pookiecat123)

  612. Ali H says

    I would love this vacuum–my current vacuum only spreads the dirt/dust around!

  632. Alicia says

    I would LOVE this dazzling vacuum. The swivel feature is key and I love the fact that it’s relatively lightweight. Love love! My current vaccum has got to be at least 15 years old (hand me down), weighs about 25 lbs, and I honestly don’t think it even picks up dirt. I think it magically creates more dirt. Is that even possible?

    I would love this vacuum! It’s lightweight & I love the attachments!! I’m a cat lover & this vacuum would be great on their long hair they leave everywhere! I hope I win this vacuum!

  676. Jenna says

    My current vaccum doesn’t pick up all the hairs my dogs leave behind and it drives me nuts.

  684. Elizabeth G. says

    I hate pretty much everything about my current vacuum! Bags, weight, poor suction, hard to manuver, etc….I would love this vacuum because it looks simple to use and seems like it would be much more efficient for cleaning the house, especially the stairs and baseboards!! Thanks for the chance! :)

  701. GARIANNE DRAVES says

    My vacuum is always eating belts and the filter gets clogged to easily. This one looks much nicer.

  715. Karen says

    Are you kidding? Tell you what I HATE about my current vacuum? How much bandwidth does your blog have? Let’s see…cumbersome…doesn’t swivel or turn around corners…not powerful enough to suck up the crud in the corners…I always have to get that with a broom or mop…I have arthritis and I can barely get it up and down stairs (it takes one determined pre-teen grandson to do this for me…and only when he happens to be at my house)…bags are a hassle – when I can find them at the store, that is….they don’t fit exactly right and are difficult to remove when full…I keep losing the attachments…loss of suction power…H-E-A-V-Y…I even hate the color – dark dull red…Red as in my face when I try lug the stupid thing from room to room and floor to floor. I promise to give the Electrolux Nimble a loving, appreciative home…I’ll even give it it’s own closet to live in. How about it?

  745. krista says

    i hate how my vacuum doesn’t pick up that well. you have to repeatedly go over the same spot. This vacuum looks like exactly what i need do to my back problems and the current problem with the vac i have now.

  755. courtney d says

    I hate everything about my vaccume! heavy, doesnt pick up dirt well and its ugly!

  757. Nancy McElwee says

    My vacuum cleaner doesn’t have much suction when I use the wand and therefore it is impossible to clean my stairs. I would love to win this one. It looks fabulous.

  806. Ladytink_534 says

    I hate that it has lost some of it’s suction, I hate that the hose is so short, and I hate that it’s so hard to keep clean.

  816. Michelle H. says

    I’ve had my vacuum for far too long. Every time I use it, it smells like burnt dog hair!

  839. Tina L says

    I hate that my current vacuum does not have enough suction so |I have to go over the area a few times.

  847. Melinda Eger says

    I would love a vacuum that I would not have to lug up the stairs to clean all my stairs.

  862. Kathy Judson says

    I go through 1 Vacuum a year I love to vacuum but have been very discourage dsince I have never found a vacuum that can really handle dog hair even though I have seen them advertised unless I want to spend about 500.00

  863. Kari says

    I hate everything about my current vacuum cleaner! It was a cheap model that we bought last year. It’s heavy, doesn’t pick up very well at all, messy to empty the canister, and…it’s broken (the button used to stand up the vacuum is broken so it constantly falls over).

  867. Heather Allen says

    I can’t stand my vacuum!! It doesn’t suck anymore, and that’s bad! I have a 10 month old that’s all over the house & she finds all kinds of stuff that the vacuum didn’t get. It’s teeny tiny stuff, but it still bugs me! I’d love to have a new one

  869. Eileen says

    The vacum I have is ancient. It doesn’t have attachments and I have no idea where to get the replacement bags. It is very heavy. I can see why women in the 50s got so tired cleaning.
    Would be very excited to have a new vacum :)
