It works very well

published

When you clean the filter, clean the roller. This vac works very well, the let down is the battery doesn't last long, at the moment I'm getting 3mins from fully charged. Such a shame when the vacuum works brilliantly.

Purchased in July 2021 at JB Hi-Fi for A$250.00.

Why did I wait so long, love this

published

I have tiles, floorboards, carpet and this baby works brilliantly on them all. So quick for a quick tidy up before visitors, for the accidental spill.. It is always ready to go when I need it.
Have vaccuumed 1/2 of my large house (approx 35 minutes) and this baby kept going. Didnt push my luck any further - so put back on charge had a cuppa. Then finished the rest. Never missed beat. Love love love it.

Purchased in June 2021 at Harvey Norman for A$199.00.

I loved it but returned twice

published

Bought one, I think it was only 14v. Stopped working. Replaced under warranty, paid extra for the 18v and it died again, returned & got a different brand. I love the convenience & light weight of this stick vac but they just don't last.

Great vacuum

published

Bought this from Myer on 6th Jan 2022.
I only use this machine on tiled floors and part of a rug covering part of the tiled floor once a day but I've tried it on carpet as well and it works splendidly. I love the lights on the vacuum head as it's easy to identify particles, especially under the furniture. The only downside is that even on full charge it lasts 15 minutes maximum, and would have given it 5 stars if it lasted a bit longer, as I always end up leaving part of the house unfinished.

Purchased in January 2021 at Myer Online Store for A$199.00.

Great machine.

published

All my floors and all my carpets and rugs. I use 2 times a day without fail. Once done i feel my house is so much cleaner. I also have my grandaughter with me a few times a week and i know there are no little bits that she can pick up and put in her mouth.

Out of order..due to battery

This review from Trisha F. is exactly what happened to me. I love the machine and it appears to be in excellent condition but battery life is DOWN . I returned to Bing Lee but they couldn't help as it was just over 2 years I have not overworked it and do like it but unfortunately is not working....

Overall good but not so good for very small material

published

Bought this 6 months ago and it's been good so far. The 2 in 1 in very handy, the hand held vacuum is good for the car and is powerful to get rid of mess, but sometimes it takes a few strokes to properly get rid of the mess in the car especially on carpet surfaces. We use this for our wooden floor and it's been great so far. It's a light machine, not heavy at all. The only issue I would say is when the mess is light weight stuff like bean bag beans. The machine will tend to blow it away rather than sucking it in.
Overall, good for wooden floors and carpets BUT not good for very small/light weight particles.

Brilliant machine...

published

My Ergorapido battery life went down from 25mins to one minute, one month after the 2 year warranty. Up until then it was fabulous on carpets and my tiled floors. I asked The Good Guys (from where it was purchased), what I should do and they said there was nothing they could do. After reading lots of reviews I decided to email Electrolux. After not hearing back from them, I was contemplating buying another stick vacuum. Then out of the blue, I received an apologetic (for not answering) email asking me the problem. Long story short, they couriered a brand new Ergorapido and picked up the faulty one. I am delighted I have my trusty machine back again. Five stars for Electrolux for the service and 5 stars for the new Ergorapido...I love it

Very handy to have this Vacuum!

published

We purchased this vacuum as we have a large house and wanted something easy to use for small areas. It works well on our timber floor and also our carpet. We have a dog that sheds a lot of hair and this vaccum is power ful enough to pick up all of the hair. Our house is 25 squares and it vaccums the whole lot in one charge. I love the seperate Dustbuster that is great for corners & skirting boards!

Best vacuum

published

So great to have in the kitchen for a quick spot vacuum or a full house vacuum.
I use on tiles and carpet, it works a treat in both. Great movement around corners and I love that I don’t need to hold a trigger to keep it on.
I get around 15/20 minutes before recharging.
I also love the hair cutting button that you push down with your foot to cut the hair around the barrel.
I like it better than Dyson, and its cheaper.

Excellent addition to my busy household

published

I’ve used quite a few stick vacuums and this one is definitely the one that has impressed me most. It’s light and super easy to manoeuvre. The built in light makes sure you can see every little bit that needs to be vacuumed. Only gave it 4 stars as I wasn’t overly impressed with its performance on carpet, but works well on my rug.
It isn’t whisper quiet but I wouldn’t call it loud. It’s perfect to use after dinner around the dining table and kitchen. Battery life is about 20 minutes. Suction is impressive for such a light vacuum.

Lightweight Maneuverable Stick vac

published

The Electrolux Ergorapido 2 in 1 is brilliant. It's light, good battery life and easy to empty and charge. It has a powerhead that can be switched off if desired, and it easily separates for cleaning and emptying, whilst the main unit continues to charge. I'd recommend this to anyone, especially those with issues moving a full vacuum around.

Can't Live without this product!

published

This is the best upright 2 in 1 I have ever owned.
The charge does my whole 2 bedroom unit.
Will work on carpet and tiles. I just love the led lights on the foot. Great for when you may have a dark corner or under furniture where you are unable to see. The only negative I do have is it doesn't hold a lot in the waste canister. Have to continually empty it.
Quite expensive also. However it's one of those cases where you get what you pay for.

Disappointed

published

Spent $200 on this stick vacuum, brand new. It only lasted about 7 months before the battery stopped charging and bits broke off it. Won't be in a hurry to buy from electrolux again. But when it did work it was pretty good. You did have to take the head a part though each time as things would get caught up in it very easily.

Performance good until recently - as stated, battery charge does not last.
Light,quiet and easy to maneuver reason I replaced this one with previous Tiled floors, lounge,dining/kitchen, sunroom, one bathroom, 1 ensuite, separate toilet. Carpets in main, second/walk in robe and third bedroom. Think purchased mid 2016 but cannot recall month I may be wrong. Sorry, no idea of measurements, believe rooms are normal size for a duplex with an extension - e.g. sunroom, ensuite,walk-in robe. Great cleaner, up until now and very disappointed.

works well

published

Easy to use - we use it on floor and shagpile at home and carpet in the office - could perhaps suck a bit better, but otherwise excellent and got it cheaply (ie $180). Easy to recharge. Might be better if the handheld attachment was built in. Lasts a decent amount of time before needing recharging. Use it all the time.

Handy for a quick clean of your floors or sucking up crumbs, dirt etc.

published

Light and easy to use with swivel head which is handy to manoeuvre under and around furniture. Has reasonably good suction but have found that the battery life fades quickly. I am on my 3rd one in 4 years with the previous 2 both having battery issues. They would not hold their charge and the light on the front of the stick vacuum would blink on and off and not charge properly. I have the battery replaced and the charger replaced and it still kept happening. As it was still under warranty, I was then offered to be upgraded to the latest model for a small changeover ($43). I have had the new one now for a couple of weeks and love it but just wondering if it too, will lose charge and suction power over the next 12 - 18 months.

You should be so lucky. LOL! Use another standard vac. and clean both the filters. Then give them a good wash in a mild dish-washing det. Rinse it. Let it dry.
