The Consumers Union released the report called ‘Extensive CR Testing Also Finds Some Stylish Vacuums to Be Sub-Par Performers' to help provide "a fair, just, and safe marketplace for all consumers and to empower consumers to protect themselves," it said.
According to the Union's tests, an unnamed Electrolux vacuum which suggested consumers use its Twin Clean canister's ‘powerful brushroll' for deep-cleaning "stopped cold" when it was put to the test on tough pet-hair.
Consumer Reports also shamed another two "less than stellar designs" during testing.
"Electrolux's Intensity EL5020A folds into the most compact upright CR has tested. But pushing and pulling it wasn't easy," said the report.
