Could easily live without it!

published

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.

Pet hair

published

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

published

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

published

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

published

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!

published

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

published

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.

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

published

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

published

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

published

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

Not even 2 years and lasts less than 2 minutes

published

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

published

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

published

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.

Ergorapido ZB3010 (Steel Blue, 3rd Gen)

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???????
