Leave a reply

Here’s the side by side comparison to help you buy the better one that meets your cleaning needs.

Design
The Rowenta Delta Force works like a traditional stick vacuum, while the Dyson DC44 Animal can be transformed from a cordless stick to a handheld vacuum by

removing its wand and cleaner head. And you can use it with the wand attached to clean high and low spots. While the Rowenta Delta Force does not have the

cleaning wand and its cleaner head is not detachable.

Charging Time
The DC44 charge faster, takes a lot less time to fully charge.

Run Time
The Rowenta Delta Force has a longer battery life than the Dyson DC44.

Charging Base
The DC44 comes with a docking station for charging and storing while the Rowenta Delta Force has no charging stand.

Attachments
The DC44 comes with some attachments for cleaning upholstery, crevice, corners, etc. While the Rowenta Delta Force does not include such tools.

Cost
The DC44 is much more expensive, about 2X the cost of the Rowenta Delta Force.

Self Stand
Both of them are not the types that can stand up by their own securely. Rowenta Delta Force can stand free, but not stable, easily topple over. While the Dyson DC44

cannot self stand at all, and does not even let you lean it against a wall, it can easily fall down.

Dust Cup Capacity
The dust cup on the Rowenta Delta Force is larger.

Weight
The DC44 weighs around 2 pounds lighter

Battery Replacement
You can easily replace battery on DC44 while the batteries on Rowenta is not designed for you to replace.

On/Off Control
The Rowenta use traditional On/Off switch while the Dyson DC44 uses a Trigger instead of an On/Off switch. The key difference between this trigger design and a tradition switch is that the trigger does not lock into place, you have to keep pressing the trigger if you want the vacuum on. Dyson claim that this reduce wasted energy. Well, we do not know how much energy it saves, some people like it, but others hate it because their fingers get tired of holding the trigger down.

Rowenta Delta Force vs Electrolux Ergorapido Ion EL1030A which is better for your needs?

Leave a reply

We will compare the specs side by side, list the similarities and difference between Rowenta Delta Force and Electrolux Ergorapido Ion EL1030A to help you buy the right one.

About Brush On/Off:
The Rowenta Delta Force does not have brush On/Off switch, brush stays on when vacuum is on.
I thought the Electrolux Ergorapido Ion does not have suction only mode like many other people, because there is no brush off position on the handle. But recently, when I read some Electrolux Ergorapido Ion EL1030A reviews online, I found that it is possible to use the Ergorapido Ion with the brush off.
Generally speaking, if a vacuum features brush on/off, it is controlled by one switch. On Electrolux Ergorapido, there are 2 power switches because of its 2 in 1 design, one is on the stick handle, and one is on the hand vacuum. According to users reviews, you can turn on the vacuum with the power button on the hand unit while still using it as a stick vac, and the brush roller will not rotate. Thus it has suction only mode.
I don’t know if this will cause any problem, the manual does not even mention this. So please contact Electrolux customer service to make sure if this is secure before applying.

Design:
The Rowenta Delta Force is only a stick vacuum while the Ergorapido Ion is a hand/stick 2 in 1 vacuum, its handheld part can pop off from the stick body.

LED Headlights:
The Electrolux Ergorapido Ion EL1030A features LED headlights to illuminates the cleaning path while the Rowenta Delta Force has no headlights.

Charging Time:
The Rowenta Delta Force takes about 16 hours to fully charge while the Electrolux Ergorapido Ion EL1030A takes about 4 hours.

Run Time:
The run time on Rowenta Delta Force is longer than many other cordless vacuum cleaners, it has a max 40 minute runtime while the EL1030A runs about 10 – 20 minutes.

Battery Life Indicator:
The Electrolux Ergorapido Ion EL1030A has a battery capacity display that tells you how much power is available while the Rowenta Delta Force does not have.

Weight:
The Electrolux Ergorapido Ion is over 2 pounds lighter.

The Lithium Ion battery on Hoover Linx is easy to remove to recharge or replace by users, while the NiMh batteries on the Rowenta Delta Force is not designed for users to replace due to safety reasons, the batteries can only be replaced by a service engineer. So, when the batteries die, you can only contact Rowenta customer service to ask where you can get the batteries replaced.

The Rowenta Delta Force takes longer to fully charge, about 16 hours vs less than 4 hours on Hoover Linx.

Run Time: Delta Force wins.
The Rowenta Delta Force has 40-min runtime on ‘floor’ mode and 30-min runtime on ‘carpet’ mode. While the Hoover Linx has a battery life of about 10 – 15 minutes.

Brush On/Off:
The Rowenta Delta Force motorized brush is always on while the Hoover Linx features a brush shutoff.
However, the Delta Force has “floor” and “carpet” modes that offer 2 suction power.

Overall Performance:
According to user reviews, the Hoover Linx has better suction and does better on picking up cat litter from hard floors, pet hair from area rugs and carpets, it is a better option for quick clean ups in between deep cleaning.
