    Useless

    published

    We purchased this a few years ago and its only worked once on the stick and the portable detached unit would only work if you kept pressing the button. You would hold the button down and it would stop so you released the button and pressed again it would go for 10 seconds and stop again. Put it on the charger again and the same thing would happen so there it stayed and only used as the detached unit when you needed to pick up something small withing a few seconds before it stopped again. The stand up unit would only turn on the lights but no suction. The most useless Electrolux product ever made. USELESS

    Barreries cannot be replaced

    published

    This machine is an environmental disaster.
    After a year the batteries begin to die.
    They can't be replaced, so whole machine has to be thrown away.
    I would not recommend anyone to buy this, even though it works well at first.
    Look for a more environmentally friendly machine and save our planet.

    bought at DJ's and worked great at first, very easy to use and and convenient charging station and easy to clean out, I bought the more expensive lithium model but battery run time deteriorated after 6 months and now barely lasts one minute at full speed, good for picking up a few crumbs but that is it. also the front two rubber wheels disintegrated after about a year,

    Night Time Vaccing

    published

    This portable vacumn/dustbuster makes my life so much easier. Being used on floors and rugs too. Its easy to maintain and empty. I just love vacumning at night and if I turn of the lights in the house, with the lights on the vacumn I see every skerick of dust.

    Great cordless cleaner apart from battery issue

    published

    This was my second Ergorapido. The first was a 12V and lasted 2 year before the battery died. Cheaper to buy a new one than replace battery. This time I opted for an 18V for more power. I loved it while it worked, lasted 3 years. Great suction, easy to manouvre. Did a good job of hard surfaces and carpet. Easy to empty and clean. Suddenly the battery died and I looked into replacing the batteries or the handheld section where the batters are located but was far too expensive. Opted to purchase a new cleaner (different brand).

    Very disappointed

    published

    We have purchased two Electrolux Ergorapido and both have not lasted the two years! They are excellent for approximately 12 months and then the battery slowly dies to lasting only a couple of minutes before having to recharge. I think it is time to look at purchasing a different brand!!

    Terrible I have put its gumtree for free just to get rid of it.

    published

    The battery doesn't last more than five minutes one year after purchasing.
    I have persisted with it but so disappointed. I went and bought a Dyson today. I thought by spending 119$ I was saving money. Quickly to confirm you get what you pay for. I see this has been discontinued.... not surprised !

    Wouldn't buy one again.

    published

    I bought it from JB Hi Fi for around $170.00. I wanted it for my one bed unit and I'm disappointed in it's performance. It doesn't pick up everything on the carpet or lino, suction isn't strong. The battery only lasts for a while, I can do my unit, almost but then it stops. The bag is too small and needs to be cleaned out after each vacuum. I do like the look of them and it's easy to carry around. I know they have maybe improved it but I won't be buying this type again, I think the normal vacuums are better and last longer.

    Ergorapido

    published

    Not every happy with the performance being 12 volts i expected it to be better suction. It Is a strong machine though its performance little disappointing. The handheld bit is handy though just first his not worth the cost. Doesn't last long it needs continual charging.
    Battery needs to be changed it gets to a point you are better off throwing it out.
    Even though its a great looking machine its performance little disappointing.

    Perfect for requirement.

    published

    This suits our purpose admirably. We have tiled floors throughout with scatter rugs and this machine is simple to use and clean and is efficient at cleaning both tiles and rugs. It was a replacement for an earlier faulty model and has performed without fault to date. Used several times a day.

    Disappointed

    published

    Battery life of this product is only 6 months and the design of the hand held vacuum is the wrong way so it doesn't pick up anything. I have Electrolux vacuum cleaners before and have been very happy with them but the Electrolux ergo Rapid (ZB2941) is a big waste of money ☹️

    Very convenient and all round great vacuum

    published

    We got the lithium ion battery powered one and its been a fantastic vacuum. It's still going strong and we use it almost every day. It works really well. Having said that we have hardwood floors and tiles. It is a struggle to push over carpet and rugs. The battery is just enough for a 2 bedroom house.

    Electrolux normally replace the head at a cost of $150 that's what I was quoted but you need to make sure it is the battery I have been told by a shop worker that there is a nother issue and not necessary the battery I had a independent 12 volt shop cheek mine

    Hi, I purchased my second Electrolux Ergorapido ZB2932 in December 2014 because the battery in my original one started to switch off all the time. The same thing is happening with the second one. I really like the product as it's light and works well but seems a shame that the battery is unreliable after 16 months. The unit does work but it turns itself off 5 or 6 times before it will go for any length of time and seems to be working at a slower pace than original. Is this usual? Thanks, Linda Green, Bunbury WA

    I have now the same problem with Electrolux Ergorapido with the battery when now the warranty is 6 month overdue. Based on what I have read here the battery seems to be designed to go broken soon after the warranty period is over. We used this vacuum cleaner really seldom, so it is not due to "too much use" for sure. 6 years ago I also had an Electrolux fridge, of which the control panel was broken twice during warranty. Then the door dropped off (yes it did!) after the warranty was over. The inner structure in the door around hinge counterpart gave off because of there was lacking polyurethane from the inside of the door frame. So the hinge counterpart broke and it dropped into the door frame hole lacking polyurethane. And when I opened the door the door dropped off completely because the upper hinge dropped out of the upper counterpart. This was a clear design / manufacturing flaw. Even so they practically laughed at me when I called the country technical warranty manager about this. I had to buy a new door which cost 1/3 of the price of a new fridge. I am never ever going to buy another Electrolux machine. :-(
