Yes. I have an Electrolux EL1000A2 Pronto Bagless Stick Cyclonic Vacuum. I love the thing. It is cordless so you can take it all over the house without having to plug and unplug the thing over and over like my last Dirt Devil one that I had. It has the best suction of any I have ever tried. Best of all it can be converted into a little handheld vacuum for cleaning the couch or auto interior. I was going to buy a handheld vacuum and also needed a new stick vacuum. When I saw this model it was like getting a 2-4-1 deal. It even looks pretty sitting in it's charging stand. Expect to pay a little more for this machine than other stick vacuums though. I mentioned this vacuum in another post recently. I have no connection to Electrolux or any vacuum business.

I don't know if this is the same model as yours, but the information will probably still apply. https://www.cuisinart.com/share/pdf/manuals/csb-78.pdf SHORT RUN TIMES If after repeated use the run time seems to get shorter and the hand blender has less power, it may not be the result of a faulty unit. This condition can be remedied by allowing the Cuisinart® Smart Stick PLUS® Cordless Rechargeable Hand Blender to run until it stops. Then recharge the unit for 24 hours for a new charge. This procedure improves the batteries’ capacity. You may need to repeat this a few times for the best results

Yes we know how to use one. Between DH and I we have over 100 yrs experience in cutting trees. We don't use hard hats and chaps though we do wear steel tipped shoes and safety glasses. For the gas one, we also wear hearing protectors and of course gloves. The electric ones can maim you just as easily, but are less dangerous as they run only with your finger on the trigger. The gas ones run even when you're not cutting, and if the brake isn't right or the idle speed set too high, even after you let up on the trigger, the chain can still spin.

Since I have cats again, and need to keep floors cleaner between housekeeping visits, I ended up getting a Dyson V7 earlier this summer, which I really like. It took me a while to talk myself into spending that much, but I did get it on sale and it was only about $50 more than the Shark I was considering. After getting it, I've discovered that I really enjoy using it. It is much quieter than I expected, and I have yet to run out of battery using it, but I only do one room at a time.
