This looks like the original model I had in the UK. If it has a mix of blue "paint brush" bristles with rubber squeegee alternative strips, then you have found yourself the original version of the first Ergorapido vacs. They're good but the pick up is dreadful on carpets due to the thin paint brush strip bristles and rubber. Better on hard floor IMHO. The more updated models have proper stiff bristle brush strips.

The brush-roller on my Electrolux Ergorapido have two slide of blue bristles and the bristles are really soft.

Evidently its a different model to the EU ones. Mine had a single coin screw to the side where the bottom plate could be taken off for cleaning. Yours looks like a better bristle bar but no sole plate removal, unless there's a lock under the plastic tab to the right hand side of that photo.
The charger base was one of the coolest features as it glowed blue on either side like yours. It was a good "night light" when I installed ours in the hallway. | ||

The push button to release the cap who keep the roller-bar is at the back at right.(Sorry I can't take a picture of it, I give it to my mother, I don't have place here and more useful at their home) Is true it's a nice night light.

I don't know what the feeder channel will be like on yours but at the back of mine, I remember there was a piece of clear acrylic wire coiled hose that bent over with 2 removable screws - that area gets clogged a lot because the channel goes into an oval ring rather than a true circular dust channel.
I might treat myself to a new Ergorapido soon - I rather like them - the best part for me was the fit flush hand held dustbuster with the three way emptying design - I seldom took mine apart unless I was cleaning the two part filter - the bottom release by the mouth of the dust buster is designed to be lifted upwards to allow a canister vac's hose (or similar) to suck out the dust. | ||

The pipe which collect the dust at the back is a rectangular flexible hose in grey plastic. It can be release easily by pressing the clip on each side of the hose. | ||

Yes, is working good now. For a battery vacuum, is good on hard floor and ok on low pile carpet. | ||
