    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

    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.

    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.

    Had this for 20 months and it works just like new

    published

    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

    published

    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

    published

    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

    published

    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

    published

    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

    published

    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!!

    published

    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

    published

    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

    published

    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

    published

    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

    18V Li-ion Battery Won't Hold A Charge

    published

    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.

    published

    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!

    Hi Leslie, I have tried to contact you but still have not heard back.
    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

    published

    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.

    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?

    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.
