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

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

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.

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.

Had this for 20 months and it works just like new
I had this vacuum for nearly 2 years and the battery is still doing great job. A fully charged battery will get it runs for 30mins enough for me to clean up my 3 bed rooms house. Vacuum my kitchen with tile floor is so easy that the brush roller almost pickup all the tiny bits of rubbish or food left on floor.
I am happy with this product, I am glad that i didn't pay 3 times more for an expensive Dyson product which may still doing the same job great.

Battery wont keep charged
This product worked well for the first few months and did the job perfect was really rapped in the product but about a month ago I had noticed the battery wasn't lasting any longer than 2 mins,as I was given this item as a Christmas present, I'm now very disappointed that it hasn't lasted long at all considering it didn't get used every day I now feel the company should either replace the item or offer a refund to the customers who have purchased this item would love a new one but am thinking of going to another brand.

Battery life good. Filter and dust capacity too small
Easy to move around but suction was be tad weak once the dust starts to fill the container. Emptying the dust can be depressing as I try to avoid getting in contact... using gloves, masks and goggles to empty this sucker... this is most annoying thing about bagless vacuum cleaners!

Battery
I have two the same, first one only 18 months old and failed. I had the batteries tested and told all ok but only runs for short time and stops got quoted $150 for new head from Godfreys they weren't interested in testing only wanted to sell new vac. Very poor dealership.

Pretty good considering
The on/off button on the hand unit was always a bit funny. And would work intermittently. I put up with this for a long time but a few months before warranty was due, I took it in for a service. They thought they fixed it the first time but the problem continued. I took it back and Electrolux agreed to replace the hand unit. It has worked brilliantly ever since. Its basically a new machine now and works like one. I find its good for all light work. I use a bigger unit for some parts of the house.
I dont like the hand unit so much as the end isnt the right shape. I find it a bit awkward, its too square or something.
I would buy one again.

Great - until the battery packs up
This is a disgraceful product. A cordless vacuum should be able to hold charge. Like other reviews, ours is less than 2 years old and basically now an ornament. Very disappointed. For the first year or so it did what you'd expect, and was very handy. Then the charging stopped happening. Built in obsolescence?

Ergorapido ZB3013 Won't hold Charge!!
Bought this hand held vaccum over a Dyson. Seems like the biggest mistake. Battery doesn't hold charge. After charging for 12 hours I only get 3 minutes of vacuuming. What good is that! You would think after paying $$$ for a li-ion hand held vacuum they would last longer than 15 months! Anyone out there thinking of getting this, think again and get a Dyson. Cause I will.... Apparently Electrolux knows that the batteries are faulty.

15 months later - no longer charges
Loved this vacuum until it just died out of nowhere recently. Realised it just wasn't able to fully charge any more. Can only hold enough power to vacuum for 20 seconds at best. Have tried contacting Electrolux with no response received after 6 business days (their return email states someone will reply within 2 business days). Poor service and not happy with product. I think I read somewhere the warranty was 2 years for vacuums (could be wrong), but this lasted only 14 months. Would never purchase an Electrolux product again and have decided to upgrade to a Dyson stick vacuum instead.

Short life span
Hi.
I purchased an electrulux vacuum cleaner on the 4/09/2014. While it was in warranty i took it a repairer because of a burning smell when in use and engine speed fluctuations. It still wasn't 100% now it doesn't work. I don't expect items to last like they used to but just over 2 years is poor. It never got used much so we just put up with it.
I just then tried it again expecting a miracle but then it made a terrible noise and now the motor goes but the impeller doesn't spin (no sucking).

The perfect machine with a short life for price
Have been very happy to date although now it seems to run out of battery charge very quickly after being on the charger for the whole night you can only vacuum for 2 to 3 minutes when it was new would easily do the whole hose. it was quite an expensive vacuum and I would have expected more from such a well-known company any information would be much appreciated

Do not buy this
Started out great...worked like a charm. Lite and easy to use. Easy to clean the filter. Don't have to bend over to vacuum the floor. Now...barely a year after purchase actually, it started to die after 5 minutes of use. Now I am lucky to get 2-3 minutes of use. Very frustrating. I don't typically write reviews online - but this situation calls for it.
I bought this unit because of the brand name. We had an Electrolux growing up and I inherited it when we bought a new vacuum for my parents. So I thought this had to be great and didn...Read more
't think to check the review. Had I did my good consumer research beforehand I would not have purchased this. I don't like to buy disposable, cheaply-made products. That is what this is. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. Don't fill a landfill -send it back to Electrolux.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

18V Li-ion Battery Won't Hold A Charge
I was initially happy with the 2in1. I think it is an excellent idea. Unfortunately the battery stopped holding a reasonable charge after about 12 months. I only get about three minutes use out of it now before it dies. I don't use it very often so i definitely don't feel like I got value out of it.

18V Li-ion Battery Couldn't hold its power after 6 months of use.
Bought it in Nov 2015, and the battery could last for about 35 mins of use on full-charge. However, as time passes by, the battery looses its capacity to hold its power, and now (after 6 months) it could only last 5 mins or less. Can't even vacuum a small bedroom!

Did not go the distance
I paid for half and the other half was given to me as part of a goodbye gift. It was great for the first 6 months until the battery started to fail. The unit would only run for 2 minutes on high and then cut out completely, it's now pretty much useless. Can't even get the battery replaced as you have to buy the actual handheld unit (which is super expensive) and even so there is no replacement stock available from the Electrolux spare parts department. I love the idea if this stick vacuum, it's handy and so easy to use but the poor design makes...Read more
this an unreliable and disappointing product. There are so many bad reviews about this vacuum, I have no idea why I bothered with this vacuum even though I knew it had a bad reputation with the battery life. Really disappointed with Electrolux for not rectifying this battery problem sooner and still continuing to release the same product that is guaranteed to fail within 12 months. Will be sticking to Dyson next time.2 comments

It kinda shows that Electrolux are not really sorry that consumers are experiencing problems with their product.

Comes with everything you will need. Simple to use. Better than expected and good battery life and p
We looked at the Dyson which is a large heavy and bulky unit and not to mention a price which is higher than a new Miele ! So our Electrolux is for quick vacuuming which it performs extremely well and is small enough to fit into all the tight spaces when using in the car or caravan. Very easy to use, good battery life with the 18v Lithium battery and a great design with the spinning brushes and led lights. 1/3 of the cost of the Dyson and in many ways a lot more practical.
If you simply want a go to ready unit that will do the car, house [ carpet, tiles and wooden floors ] that's good value look no further. Had the unit for just over a year and no problems at all. we use it daily.

The perfect vacuum for a small living area
I have had this vacuum for six months, using it a couple of times a week in a one bedroom apartment with low pile carpet and a tiled kitchen. Overall I'm very happy with the performance of the unit in both the stick and handheld configurations. The suction is good - I find I'm easily filling up the internal bin if I do a comprehensive clean of the whole house.
The machine holds a charge well, and I have never had it run out while vacuuming, although I have also never used the unit continuously for more than ~20 minutes. I have found the v...Read more
acuum light and easy to maneuver around furniture, and it can flatten out to reach underneath our bed. The lights on the front of the head make it easy to see anything you may have missed in a dark area. Converting it to handheld is done with one button, and it is easy to click back into place. The unit comes with an extended, brush-tipped nozzle for use with the handheld section, and this is useful for getting into crannies around the car or kitchen. The internal dust bin is quite small, but fortunately it is just big enough for me to be able to do a thorough vacuum of my apartment in one go. If you are going to be vacuuming two bedrooms plus the living, dining and kitchen areas, you may have to pause vacuuming to empty the dust bin before continuing. Emptying the dust bin and cleaning the filter are easy. The the outer filter is a standard mesh shield, and the soft inner filter component includes a spring-loaded pull-tab, allowing most dust to be flicked away by pulling and releasing the tab a few times. The string/hair cutter appears ineffective, however I don't have much need for it in my situation so I can overlook that feature. The Ergorapido appears very safe for children, and is not too noisy to run. I would definitely recommend this unit for a couple or small family in an apartment. It may be of use to a family in a large (e.g. 3+ bedroom) house as a secondary vacuum, but I would only recommend going down that route if you already have a good barrel or upright vacuum.Similar opinion?

battery will not hold its charge.cuts out after 3 minutes.vacuum is only 18 months old. Any ideas?

I did read that this could happen! Mine is fairly new so no issues yet - fingers crossed. I'd contact them as they had said they'd fixed this problem in newer models so maybe they'll replace?
$155 for a new battery !!!!! I chucked it in the bin.. not good enough
you could have just bought a generic 18650 battery anywhere and replaced it for around 10 dollars!

My vacuum won't hold a charge for longer than 3 minutes. I've only had it a year...just over the end of the warranty. It sounds like many people are experiencing this. What can I do?

Same thing for me. I just took mine back to the good guys and they are sending it off for repair. Even gave me a loan vac while my one is being repaired.
