Worked well until just out of Warranty

published

Chose this model as it got rave reviews on the choice web site. Initially fantastic on our tiled floors, not so good on carpet. Battery longevity never lived up to product description, I think the longest it ever lasted was 20 minutes. Now we are lucky if we get two minutes. Lots of turning on & off & manoeuvres of handle to keep it going. Took it to a battery shop to get it replaced & were told it would cost more than the vacuum is worth. Worst $400 I ever spent! Would not purchase again.

Fantastic easy to clean out

published

I love this vacuum it's great for my timber floors and my tiles and my large rugs. U can see all the dirt it picks up straight away . And so easy to clean out .
Only down side I have noticed is u can't get in corners or up close to edges of walls which u need to get a broom to do then vacuum the rest. The battery life is great but u need to make sure u keep up with charging it. If u haven't charged it and need to clean that is the annoying part of having a cable free vacuum .

Time saver for quick clean ups

published

Great to use, easy to maneuver and scoot around my hard and carpeted floors. I use my Bosch for quick cleanups in between getting my ducted system out. It runs on 2 for about 30 minutes, when l compared other models they ran for only up to 17 minutes. My Bosch stick was a bit more expensive, but well worth it, it also came with a 3 year warranty. I let the battery run right down before recharging - recharging is a bit of a downside as it takes about 3 hours.

Disappointed even though a great machine

published

I purchased mine from Harvey anitnsn in 3/15. Paid for four year extended warranty. Now not charging so I’m going to HN tomorrow and I want a replacement. Two other friends bought the same as me and have the same problem and HN replaces theirs. They better replace mine even if it’s the battery otherwise I will not be happy.

Fortunately I’d purchased a four year extended warranty so got a new one. Otherwise it would’ve been a loss of $400. Should last long than three years st that price.

Great little cordless number!!

published

I bought this cordless vacuum for an apartment and it is great to use! Great suction, battery life and flexibility to get under furniture. The best thing about it is its ease of use - just grab it out, run around with it and place it back. No bending, lifting, fighting with a cord. We used it at home for a week before moving it to the apartment and my husband didn’t want to let it go!! The only small criticism is it doesn’t come with attachments that allow cleaning in tight places. These have to be purchased separately, and I wasn’t offered them when I did purchase, so I’m unlikely to bother with them now.

excellent stick vac for the money

published

Bought this stick vac at the Harvey Norman Convention Centre sale on the Gold Coast for $266. It has fantastic suction. Was looking at a Dyson V6 which was more expensive but the Bosch was much better. Good run time - 60 mins low but I used it turbo about 15mins & still going. I used on carpet & tiles. Very happy.

Absolutely Frustrated

published

We've had this vacuum cleaner for approx 3 years and only use it once a month if that
We only vacuum basic things like crumbs, food scraps and dust but still the suction is useless.
It's not like we have to vacuum hard things like pet hair.
Don't waste you money with this vacuum cleaner.

It can’t cope with long hair!

published

I’ve had this a year & it was fine initially but now it’s useless. It gets long (human) hair & pet hair tangled round the roller & then it’s completely useless. I keep having to cut the hair to free it up but even then it’s still not picking up bits.
I’m really very disappointed as I was sold this as better than the Dyson, which is planned to buy.

Perfect for daily tidy of living space

published

Great stick vacuum for everyday use. We use on vinyl plank floor and rugs and it's easy to carry up to our second story. Can easily do 100m3 on one charge. Very simple to steer and gets under our beds ok. Also has enough suction it usually gets dust off the scotia as well. Good for pet hair and sand. We did not buy optional attachments.

Quite happy

published

Got this under Harvey Norman replacement warranty to replace Electrolux version. We had 2 Electrolux ergorapidos, both replaced under warranty at around 12 months. This was recommended as being more reliable by our salesperson. So far have owned it 12 months or so and happy. Good battery life, quite manoeuvrable and adequate suction. We have mostly timber floors. Does all we need it to!

Love the unit. Battery is letting me down now.

published

The vacuum cleaner is amazing. We purchased it back in mid 2016. Does the large house no dramas across many surfaces. Like any product with regular cleaning of the spinner brush and filters it is a great unit. However the battery is starting to let me down. What can we do about the battery Being a build in unit.

Does what it says on the packet

published

Battery boasts one hour, on medium to low. Can do the house fine in 30 mins with two out of three bars on battery.
Its handy to pick up like the old portable dust busters but will hoover the whole house. Wood, tiles and carpet.
Thicker carpet means having to push a bit harder. Will be taxing on my elderly mum but good exercise.
Doesn't have a hose attachment to do the corners and along the skirting- one would be good to be detailed like that but overall very happy.

A terrible hoover and not worth the money a rip off

published

This Hoover is terrible do not buy it!!! I have had it a year and it has no suction, would hardly lift a piece of dirt. The filter is terrible and hardly holds any dirt. Worst his about it is suction, it doesn't do its job and hardly lifts any dirt whatsoever ever. A soul terrible, disgraced with this terrible product.

Sounds like the battery is at fault. I think it should still be under warranty, so check with the retailer.
