Seems to have lots of faults

published

I bought it as a quick option for the kitchen,
Pros, easy to use, lights on the bottom and can reach under beds and tables easily.
It worked fine for the first month, then the buttons started to stop working, you would have to push the power on button 8 times for it to work. I found sometimes it would just push crumbs around rather than vacuum them up. Currently this unit is at an electrical repair shop. I am a bit concerned there seems to be constant problems with these units as when I took it back to the shop the first thing they said was "another electrolux" and when we then were referred to the designated electrical repair shop, he said he had taken dozens to the tip that couldn't be fixed and he already had 3 that he was "fixing".

So after 2 months and it not being fixed, they offered me a brand new one, which I declined and got a store credit .

I love this vacuum. Easy to use, light to push around. Battery life could be longer but still great compared to other brands Iv used. I don't have another vacuum so I use it hard floors and carpers and it does the job just fine! Everything was perfect functioning until about 18 months. But mine gets A LOT of use. I use it twice a day cleaning up after my two kids. I thought the battery wasn't lasting but wear and tear the battery just wasn't getting contact with the charger. And then the same time the motor began making a burning smell. So took it back into Harvey Norman and they sent me a brand new one!! No dramas at all. Was super stoked. If anything happened to this one will definitely be getting another.

Love it.

published

Have only had this model a couple of weeks and am very happy with it. It picks up dirt from both timber flooring and rugs very easily. Have owned an ergopido with lower voltage and a non swivel head before which I loved but this model is even better. Much easier to use.

we had a similar problem with the electrolux not holding charge

published

we purchased a ergo rapido for my place of work and it lost charge and power after two months, the vac was sent to Julians appliance centre in Geelong and they not only fixed the problem they gave us reliable advice for it not to happen again. The battery was changed and we were told once the cleaner is charged not to leave the machine charging and to make sure we had depleted the vac of power before recharging we have had no problems since and its a fantastic tool we all love it. the vacuum is used on all surfaces and works a treat to came with attachments so there was no need to get anything else

Electrolux should be investigated by ACCC

published

We have had the same problem. We bought a machine in January it charged fine for the first few times, we went to use the hand held for the car yesterday and no charge. We put it back on the charger but it just does nothing. Now I have to waste my time taking it back to the shop. Should have stuck to a Dyson like our main vacuum. With so many complaints electrolux should do something rather than just keep selling rubbish products.

Great so far!

Absolutely useless. Don't waste your money

published

Suction is mediocre. The mechanism to return the vacuum to the charger is clunky and cumbersome. The battery life is worse than average and it's overall performance...well, let's just say that I gave up and went back to using a dustpan and brush. I was very disappointed with this appliance and everyone I know that has had one has (like me), ditched it, researched my thoroughly and bought a stick dyson (which is phenomenal!).

There Must Be More To This!!!!

published

I bought my Ergorapido ZB3012 on the 26th May, 2014 5 days ago, after following the instruction book on assembly (easy) and charging the battery overnight I used the machine to vacuum my very small unit. After vacuuming two very small rooms the battery ran out of power, I recharged the battery for another 12 hours or so then tried again to clean another room same thing happened again. I thought that I would get more battery time than this.. I don't think it is at all energy efficient.
I liked the headlights and the lightness and practically of the machine
does not hold charge and is noisy

oops, wrong reply...check above!! I tightened the large Phillips head screw on the back and found that my power increased with that action.

We have the ergorapido and loved it until it started shutting off after 3-4 seconds and won't start running. Have to keep pushing the button to restart. Very frustrating, what can be done? Thank you. Jim H

We had the same issue, and it was diagnosed as battery failure in the repair centre.

Ergorapido ZB3012 (Watermelon Red, 3rd Gen)

Hi, this product has stopped working. When I first purchased it, I had to take it to a service centre who replaced the whole unit it with a new one. That was about a year ago and now the unit has stopped working. I am very careful to clean the brush, empty and clean filters, etc.
When turning on the unit it immediately stops with the red light showing.
Can you please give me some advice?
I purchased the the machine on 11 March 2014 from Myer, Brookvale.
Thank you,

Hi, think you're asking the wrong person. Maybe you need to contact Electrolux? So far, I've not had a problem with mine.

That's happened to me if I accidentally suck up clothing or something. It switches off. And I just pull out what ever it was and it's perfectly fine again. Have you checked you haven't sucked up any ribbon or something by accident?
