Is the Electrolux Ultimate700 good for carpet?

It handles low-pile carpet and rugs, but suction drops on medium and deep pile. For wall-to-wall carpet, a corded upright or a stronger stick vacuum is a better fit.

How long does the battery last?

Run time is short on the high setting and longer on eco mode, and a full charge takes about 4.5 hours. Plan it as a quick-cleanup vacuum rather than a whole-home one.

Does it stand up on its own?

No. It does not self-stand, so you lean it against a wall or lay it flat between passes.

Is it HEPA certified?

No. It uses a five-step filtration system that captures fine dust, but it is not HEPA certified, so it is not the pick for severe allergy needs.

What surfaces is it designed for?

Hard floors and a mix of surfaces throughout the home. The 9.8-inch cleaning width suits rooms and tight corners.

Under 5 lbs, which is lighter than most cordless sticks and makes overhead and stair cleaning easier.

Our take on the Electrolux Ultimate700 Complete Home Vacuum

The Electrolux Ultimate700 Complete Home is a cordless stick vacuum built around a 250 W brushless motor, a 14.4 V lithium-ion battery and a five-step filtration system. It weighs under 5 lbs, so it is easy to carry up stairs and around furniture, and the full-tilt design lets the wand and nozzle lie almost flat to reach under beds and sofas. It suits apartment dwellers and quick daily cleanups on hard floors and low-pile carpet rather than whole-home deep cleaning. Against rivals like the Dyson V8 and Shark Vertex, it trades raw suction and HEPA filtration for light weight and simple handling, and its 4.5-hour charge time is long for its class.
