Piece of junk

published

I have bought 3 Electrolux vacuum cleaners and the quality has dropped and dropped, with the latest one the handle has snapped, the aluminium extension won't stay extended and breaks, also they used to have additional tools on board,. As you can guess i will never purchase one again . Do yourself a favour and buy a german vacuum cleaner, i wont say the brand but better all round

Very very unhappy

published

From new this vacuum had a high pitched scream when hose extended+only ran for 5 mins before switching off. Emailed electrolux numerous time but no replies. Rang+they sent a new handle. Didn't help. Sent to Electrolux and 3 weeks later got it back saying it was fixed. Have used it once but still has squeaky sound when hose is extended. The plastic buttons holding the handle and pipes on are very hard to work and it takes me ages to change attachments. Very very upset with this machine. Would never ever buy another electrolux again!!

Excellent Vacuum!

published

I think this is a great vacuum. It is very quiet for the power, so I am happy with it. It picks up everything from our carpet which is quite thick and our old vacuum struggled. It has a setting for tiles/carpet which is great, it is easy to switch from kitchen to living room cleaning!

Great vacuum!

published

Very happy with the performance and suction. Vacuum is easy to use and comes with a multitude of accessories, very useful. Design is pleasing, haven't had an issue with the suction. Definitely not "silent" but not as loud as many other vacuums. Vacuum is light and easy to maneuver. I mostly vacuum curtains, carpet and wood floors with this vacuum. Replacement bags are easy to work and inexpensive to purchase.

Not a bad vacuum

published

Not a bad vacuum, sucks well when it has a new bag in it. Really sticks to the floor. The bonus turbo head we got with it is useless. The only down side it the foot wheel didn't last very long and I'm not paying $80 for another. Will more then likely buy another but would ask for 2 foot tools.

Good vacuum cleaner

published

This Electrolux vacuum cleaner is good enough. It’s not so heavy, so easy to manoeuvre around the home. The vacuum cleaner is great for all types of flooring. But it’s a bit loud, so I can’t vacuum in the mornings or the evenings because my neighbours will not be happy.

Love the performance of the vacuum, suction is great extention is perfect length. Easy to change the bag, store & clean . The handle extends to full length & when tucked away it slides inside the pole making it shorter & easier ro store. Has different speed settings which is very handing when being a mum of boy's. Absolutely love my vac

My Electrolux is quiet, very light to handle, maneuver well.It cleans my vinyl floors, and tiled areas extremely well.Super efficient, great buy. This vacuum cleaner is great for all types of flooring,seems to do high piles really well.One of the things I love is the quietness of this cleaner, even the grandchildren can watch their shows, while I vacuum, Awesome.

This is a dudd not a Vacuum Cleaner

published

Over 12 Months it was great. After 12 Months the motor slowed up and the fast switch stopped working. Called Electrolux they told me it was out of warranty and that I could take it to an authorised shop to have it fixed.
This machine is a dudd. It lasted one week and we now have the same problem
Any other Vacuum Cleaner would be a better option than this

UltraSilencer Origin (ZUS4065OR)

Hi we currently have an Electrolux ergospace deluxe which is at the end of its life. We are looking at the Electrolux Ultra Silcener Origin. Does it use the same vacuum bags as the ergospace?

UltraSilencer Origin (ZUS4065OR)

Hi we recently purchased the Ultrasilencer at the Queenstown Home Show. Great suction but even on just "medium" it is extremely hard to push around. Three of us have had a turn over last few weeks and have come to the conclusion that all may not be quite right. Also rolls any pet hair etc into long rats-tails and leaves them on the floor and doesn't suck these up very well as the foot keeps rolling them around. Any suggestions or does this not sound as though it is operating correctly?

Hi Christine
We bought a special head to cope with pet hair (we have cats) and while this does help with the pick up of hair, it is not 100% reliable - needs several goes before it picks up sometimes. The fullness of the bag can also be a factor. As for being hard to push around - I'd say take it back and get it looked at. My impression is that Electrolux is not what it used to be: they are using cheap parts and manufacture is in countries where there is a low standard of quality control.
Good luck!
BM

Try these ideas to make the vacuum cleaner easier to push around (If yours is a different model to mine, these details may not make sense but might lead you to finding a solution): 1. open the hole on the front of the handle. 2. Turn the vacuum's suction down. When the bag is new and near empty, the suction is really strong. 3. Instead of pushing the head away from you, pull it towards you. I don't have pets but I had that problem with my own hair with my previous Electrolux which didn't have as much suction as my newer one. Despite that, I wish I could have the older one back. Its good tools made for a much better and more thorough clean than can be achieved with the newer one. The wheels on the newer one are also too small which means it can't even run over its own power cord, and bottoms out on plush carpet. Like me, you may have to persevere until you can justify buying another brand.

Yes, I have a similar issue with hair (both the pet and the human variety), bits of grass etc. getting stuck together and forming big clumps, except in my case they don't usually stay on the floor - they get stuck in the front bit of the vacuum cleaner and I have to dig them out as they will eventually cause a total loss of suction. No advice, sorry - just wanted to let you know that you are not alone with this problem. I agree with BM - Electrolux doesn't seem as good as it used to be.
