Electrolux Nimble – {Review}
We were delighted to try out the Electrolux Nimble. Like many homes these days we have carpeted areas and large areas of laminate. It’s tricky to find a floor cleaner that does both jobs well. We have carpet in Miss Button’s bedroom so it’s very important to us that we don’t sacrifice cleaning power in this room, but then the high traffic, most visible areas are mostly laminate.
The Nimble was most definitely put to the test in this household. We have our much loved cat and dog, plus an almost constant stream of friends and neighbours stopping by and more often than not, kids running around with cookies and other snacks. This vacuum was absolutely up to the test. It’s by far the most powerful vacuum cleaner I’ve ever used. I’ve also never had a floor cleaner that picked up this well on the laminate floor. I had resorted to doing it the old fashioned way and sweeping, sweeping and more sweeping. Hard to reach areas in corners and underneath our sofas looked neglected pretty quickly. (If you have little ones I would recommend not getting sofas with a 3 inch gap underneath). Problem no more.
The Nimble does an immaculate job on the hard floor. The carpeted areas come up just as perfectly as you would expect from an Electrolux product. There’s also no messing around when you need to switch from the hard floor to the carpet setting. One of our previous vacuums had a fiddly adjustment on the base that I never could get the hang of. The Nimble has a simple, one push, labelled button to switch from hard floor to carpet – I love this.
In fact the whole vacuum is easy and intuitive to use. Even if you hate reading instructions you should have no issues. I’m not exactly known for being mechanically minded and I had no problems whatsoever with any of the features or tools. The vacuum is bagless of course and the canister is super easy to remove. You’ll be pleased to hear that it has a sealed HEPA filter. The Versa-Tool is actually awesome and dare I say, fun to use. It was my first time using a vacuum with a light and I was pleasantly surprised at how handy it is for eyeing up stray debris and seeing exactly what you’re doing.
The Nimble is also incredibly easy to move around and the smooth swivel action is perfect. I’m 5 feet tall and have never won an arm wrestling contest. I really dislike it when any appliance that I use regularly is physically taxing. The Nimble is true to it’s name. For such a powerful cleaner, I didn’t have to over exert myself when I was using it.
Last but not least! The cord wraps up well. It may be small thing but it’s another bonus of this well designed floor cleaner.
The vacuum has a very nice overall design. It’s modern and cool looking without sacrificing functionality. It’s an absolute winner in our books and my floors have never looked better. We would highly recommend it!
The Electrolux Nimble is available at a variety of fantastic retailers, including: Canadian Tire, BestBuy and Sears.
We would like to thank Electrolux for allowing us to try out the Nimble vacuum cleaner. We were not compensated for this review.

Stickheads {review & giveaway}
If you’re looking for a unique, made in Canada toque for your hockey loving kid this winter – look no further than Stickheads! Stickheads hockey stick hats are the ultimate hockey fan toque for kids of all ages. They are made of super warm soft polar fleece and each one has a fleece hockey stick hanging off the top. When we received our Stickheads hat for mr. bean to try out, I must say he was pretty thrilled when he saw the hockey stick.
The first couple of times it was hard trying to keep the toque on as he was so fascinated by the stick. Now, not only does it stay on his head, he asks for his “fancy hockey toque” (he’s 2.5 – everything he absolutely loves is “fancy”) even if it’s far too warm to even wear one. This is definitely a fun, yet practical toque and I can see it getting a lot of use this year.
The toques are available in all sizes, from baby right up to adult. I think it would be a great stocking stuffing for Christmas. I might just pick one up for a couple of the hard core hockey fans in my family.
In addition to the toques, Stickheads also makes hoodies, t-shirts and blankets. Plus, they offer a fundraising program for schools and sport teams. Perfect way to raise money for your organization and show your hockey love at the same time!
