Great product and great power

published

I have an Electrolux vacuum, it is one of the best i have used so far. It is way better than other budget vacuums. It's quite easy to use and move around, and long cord helps to clean large areas without being removed the cable.

Purchased in September 2021 at Always on Sale for $150.00.

Not very Happy

published

We brought our Electrolux from a masters near us just before they closed down, the first few vacuumed I thought that the vacuumed was amazing, however soon after it stopped having a good suction, takes forever to clean the house with a vacuum that doesn’t work properly, will definitely not buy An Electrolux again!

best on hard floors. Struggles a bit with dog hair on rugs. easy to empty and see when it is full. good movement around furniture and has a long handle to reach right under beds and couches etc. Head gets right up close to skirting boards making cleaning easier without having to change heads all the time

Suck it up!

published

I am so happy with my new purchase. It performs well and has good level of suction power produced by internal motor. Easy of manoeuvrability is a key highlight here. It's weight is manageable and easily fits in to tight spaces. Packs away conveniently and with ease. Simple to clean.

Easy to use, great quality

published

The performance is incredible, the power options are a very valuable part of this vacuum cleaner, all the filters are easy to take out and wash, I love that they have a longer power cord, I'm definitely going to upgrade to the next model, but in saying that nothing is wrong with my big red vacuum cleaner, thanks electrolux

Love it

published

Great product price was good, we have a lge house & 1 long haired cat so there is plenty of fur . I had a Vax before but that was 25 years old I thought it was good until I purchase the Electrolux great suction light extra long cord & very easy to empty no bags. I think the carpet may wear out earlier as the suction is so good although you can ajust that.All in all I love it. It is a lot cheaper than the Dyson & I feel it does just as good a job.

You will enjoy vacuuming

published

Until now I have always owned cheap vacuum cleaners – e.g. from Kmart – because I couldn't justify the expense of more expensive, after all they all do the same thing. However, when my old one died I decided to look around and see if I could find a decent one second hand, and lo and behold old I came across this one. The suction is incredible, it's quiet, and actually makes me enjoy vacuum cleaning. I still can't afford to get a new one, but I'll definitely be saving up so that one day I can, because it is that good.

Excellent Machine. Best I've owned.

published

Suction is superior!!! Lifts my carpet from the floor on level 5. Only downfall is machine starts on level 5 and needs to be dialled down as its too strong. Would be good if it had a memory for previously selected level. Emptying the canister is incredibly easy, even after using this machine for a year I'm always amazed how easy it is to clean the filters and empty this machine. Has a really long cord! I only have to plug into front and rear of house. Easy to tow as its lightweight and easy to move. The attachments are great for windows and sliding doors. Love this machine.

Just one month old, after replacement, problem still there!

I got a problem with the Electrolux ultra flex, I vacuum for about 20 mins, the power auto cut off, tried to switch on but didn't work, so I cleaned the filter n put it back, still not working, the vacuum power is on but display level 0. So I called Electrolux, they replace a new unit to me within 1 week. ( good customer service ).
But unfortunately the new replacement also got the same problem again! I m a bit upset! Such a expensive and high performance model will have this problem !

Ultraflex Classic (ZUF4202EU)

We purchased our vac in July 18. Could you please advise why is keeps grabbing on the floor with the suction? It is so hard that it is almost impossible for me to remove it. I have vinyl floors. It grabs so hard that it pulls the vinyl up which is a worry to me. Any answers would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Turn the suction down. Also make sure you are switching between lino and Carpet mode

Does not seem to have a power adjustment. Very hard to us as too powerful, almost lifting carpet off the floor. Jennie

On the upper back of the machine there is a switch with a + and a - symbol. This is the power adjustment.
