Could easily live without it!
Makes a lot of noise. Very little dirt cleaning capacity. Will only pick up from bare floors relatively well. On carpet it gets a bit more.
However, there are a half dozen devices on the market that are way, way better than this lightweight morsel of technology. Thank goodness I negotiated the price down to $55!
Wait. Save your money. Buy a Dyson or LG and you'll go, "Oh, yeah. I get it.
Buy cheap. Get "cheap"!!!
Buy this if you are dumb enough!
Purchased in March 2021 for $55.00.

Best purchase for 2018 for me
Can’t believe I waited so long to get a cordless vacuum!
I have been lugging around the Dyson (cord) and all the parts.
I was having to carry it so it doesn’t mark our hard floors or the doors so needless to say I hated vacuuming!
Now I love it -and do it twice a day after we eat, so it’s mainly for the kitchen but on a full charge I can do the bedrooms as well.
It seems to last for ages so I know I can clean where I want .
I actually enjoy cleaning even though it isn’t the lightest thing to push around but it feels sturdy and of good qua...Read more

Poor Battery Life.
The vacuum cleaner works well on tiles and reasonable on carpet.
I have no complaints about its ability to clean and to empty.
However the battery life leaves a lot to be desired.
When new it ran for 20 minutes but now will only last five minutes.
When speaking to an Electrolux representative I was informed that the warranty was for two years only.
To replace the battery you have to replace the entire hand piece at a cost of $154.00 and went on to say replace the entire vacuum cleaner.
We consider the design of the vacuum cleaner to be of...Read more
poor design in as much as you cannot simply replace the battery as you do with so many other battery powered appliances and tools. Because of the battery problem and the attitude of the Electrolux personnel, I would not recommend this vacuum cleaner. We will be looking to replace it with another brand.

Pet hair
I wanted something light and rechargeable that I could pick up pet hair with quickly on a daily basis. This one isn’t to bad, I have timber floors mostly and it works well on those. It’s not so effective on my older carpet, but I’m sure when I get a modern low pile carpet installed it’ll do the job well enough. It serves the purpose well when I want to give the floors a quick clean

Beware
The Battery life is about 2yrs and is not covered by the Manufacturers Warranty, also if you buy from Good Guys, is not covered by their Concierge extended warranty. The battery is contained in the detachable hand held unit and you have to buy that complete unit which costs $154. You can buy a complete new machine for about $149. Won't be buying a vacuum similar to this again.

Purchased in 2016! Still going strong
Great little vacuum for the price of $190!!
Suction is very reasonable for a cordless of ~ 20 min power time.
Light, relatively quiet, and very easy to manoeuvre! It has some LED lights at the suction head also to help where there is poor light.
Definitely worth buying compared to the expensive Dyson model!

Rubbish, battery does not hold charge just outside of warranty
Not happy at all with this product. Does not hold charge and is just out of 2 year warranty. Rang Electrolux seeking assistance who simply dismissed the concerns with comment "Any product with a battery will experience this issue and there is nothing we can do to assist". "Take it to a service centre for repairs at your own costs".

Talk about making life easier!
Bought this cordless upright stick cleaner because I was so sick of dragging around a heavy traditional vacuum cleaner that kept bumping into things and the cords never being long enough. I am so happy I made the switch. Could never be without one now. Makes life so much easier. Keep it on charge all the time. I have a large house with mainly tiles and usually get the whole house done with the 20 minute or so battery life of it. It's easy to empty out, is incredibly light, and even had a small hand held cleaner built into it. Fantastic. Very handy.

Easy to use
Bought this 3 weeks ago. works really on the tiles. Cordless is a win. Save me so much time to clean the floor. it is ok for carpet. But can be better. Tried to used the handset to vacuum my car, but it wasn't quite satisfying. Battery life is good. But for some reason it loses power itself if you don't use it for a few days.

Great stick vac - perfect for a quick clean up
Bought this on a whim as I was walked past it on special - so glad I did. Having owned numerous stick vacuum cleaners in the past, I am happy with the performance of this little number. It was easy to assemble, charged well and is perfect for doing a quick clean up of the kitchen or tiled living areas. I use it when I don't want to bother pulling out the Dyson or vacmaid...it seems to pick up most debris and the handvac is perfect for doing under the lounge cushions. Stays charged to do the two living areas, kitchen and dining area - and ...Read more
still running. It also has a 'quiet' mode which is also less powerful if need be. There is also a light, which I suppose is handy for seeing what is under the lounge suite etc. All up, very happy with my Ergorapido 10.8V two in one stick vacuum - especially the price.Similar opinion?

Motor Blew
Hi bought my Electrolux ZB3012 Stick Vacuum Cleaner in August 2016. I use it every day to quickly vacuum my Ensuite and Kitchen. Now only 16 months later the motor has blown. Not happy. The Repair man said it not worth fixing and getting a new motor for it. NOT HAPPY

Dud vacuum cleaner
My grandmother bought this vacuum cleaner a couple of years ago because she was finding it difficult to use the bigger one she had.Whilst it worked well initially it suddenly stopped working and appears the battery won't charge. From other reviews here, this seems to be a typical problem with this model. Given that it wasn't that cheap to purchase, I would have expected more from an Electrolux product. Should have bought a Dyson.

Update on my review. Electrolux sent out a new battery which I will need to arrange to have fitted. Pleased that Electrolux offered this as a solution. Hoping it won't cost too much to have fitted because I was told it needs to be soldered.

3rd Electrolux ergorapido I have owner, but definitely the worst
Received this as a gift at the start of this year and already not working. Can only use the hand held section.the floor system doesn’t turn on and head doesn’t spin. As it was a gift don’t have a receipt to send back to Electrolux for replacement. Have recommended the Electrolux stick vac to lots of people over the years, but this model has been a total dud. Not sure that I will recommend after the trouble with this one, maybe not what they use to be, very disappointed indeed

Disappointed. Battery not holding charge..
We had this machine just on 2 years and were very pleased with the performance and ease of use...
We have a mix of carpet and tiles in a 2 bed unit and it was perfect for the job...
But in less than 2 years the battery now only allows 2 mins run before it quits...It is on charge all the time between uses..
December 24th 2017 Update: Amazing aftersales service..
Loved this machine...but..Battery died within 2 years. [See my previous review]

Was happy when it worked. Was light and easy to use especially under beds. Used on Tile floors only and it stored easily in my linen cupboard.
Was disappointed when the rollers broke and I couldnt use it any more. They said they would replace the head but I never ever got the replacement.

Was good
I was happy with the performance however over time I noticed that it wasn’t grabbing things on the ground. More often I would need to use a dust pan. Battery life also not the best even if plugged in over night. Overall was not satisfied with vacuum and brought another brand

Electrolux Ergorapido 2 in 1 - ZB3012 not charging correctly, now run time very short
I received the ZB3012 as a gift and it worked great for 12 months, then suddenly the topmost LED charge light would not illuminate when the unit was on charge (only bottom 3 lights illuminate in sequence during charging)-= I just assumed the LED might have "blown" as the unit was still charging, however the run duration was noticeably shorter, albeit still adequate.
3 months ago, the unit finally gave up and only runs for 2 mins max before requiring a recharge. This is appalling performance for a unit that cost almost $200. I finally located...Read more
the warranty from the person who provided this unit as a gift. It is still in warranty, It was purchased from The Good Guys Essendon in Dec 2015, and contacting them for service has been a matter of buck passing. I contacted Electrolux directly via email and phone with no assistance so far. I have always kept this units' filters cleaned and empty it after every use, so it has not been mistreated and has had light use only. I can see from the associated posts I am not the only one experiencing issues with this unit. Can anyone advise?1 comment

Not even 2 years and lasts less than 2 minutes
Initially I loved it but even though I have looked after it very well and it still looks brand new, it only works for less than 2 minutes if it is fully charged overnight. It’s just under 2 years old.
The buttons are also very temperamental. Luckily there are 2 buttons.
I am so disappointed. I won’t be getting another Electrolux product.

Very disappointed
Was happy with the vacuum for a start but diapointed that the battery doesn't hold its charge for long. I've had it since January 2016. It's mainly used on carpet floors & I used to get 20-25 min vacuuming but now only get 10-15 min at most. It's the 2nd one I've had but the 1st one was a different model.

Works well on carpet and floor
Small house carpets and tiles. Hallway, kitchen, lounge, bedroom bathroom dust insects
Emties out well, has spring loaded dirt ejector, I blow it out with ozito blower, and shake outside. The switch on the remote lower part failed, so I turn it on with the upper handle switch then detach the portable part. The carpet sweeper head comes apart OK and can be cleaned with tweezers and small probes and fingers...

I have the same problem, won't charge and only lasts 5-10 seconds then cuts out while vaccuming.
Electrolux customer service - please respond here !!!
Where are you?
What are you going to offer all these unfortunate people?
What does your r&d department say?
Is it the lithium battery failing to hold any charge after 1-2 years?
Waiting for a response !!!

Replace the battery but it may need soldering skills. Battery cells can be found almost everywhere also see your model some may have 18650 lithium ion battery or similar before buy check details on your. Like voltage and mah. Type etc.. easy job on soldering.

Our unit quit after using it one day. Took it completely apart; full of hair & lint all up in the motor & circuitboard area. Cleaned it thoroughly & reassembled it. Put it on the charger stand; blue light comes on for about 3-4 seconds, then goes out. Checked the voltage from the charger base - 14.3 VDC, all they way up to the contacts on the stand. Opened up the hand-held unit again & checked both batteries - they read almost 4VDC. Unit won't run or charge. Any ideas???????
