Verdict

The Electrolux EP31CB18IW (Series 300) is an 18V cordless 2-in-1 stick and handheld vacuum cleaner designed primarily for efficient hard floor cleaning. It features a cyclonic dust separation system with a E10-class washable filtration setup and a 0.5-liter dust container capacity. Key advantages include its lightweight profile at 2.18 kg (with a 1.36 kg handheld unit) for excellent maneuverability, a removable lithium-ion battery offering up to 30 minutes of runtime in normal mode (14 minutes in boost mode), and a high 99% dust pick-up rate on hard surfaces. However, its downsides include a relatively long charging time of 5 hours, a noise level peaking at 78-80 dB, a lacks of automated power adaptation features, and the absence of integrated front LED headlights on the motor brush nozzle.
