Terrible

published

This vacuum cleaner is the worst one I have ever owned. Quite expensive approx $300 but after about 20 mins of use, it overheats and turns itself off. You have to open the vents, and air for approx 1 hour or more, before you can start it again, then you get maybe 5-10 mins before it overheats again and you have to repeat the process. I constantly clean all 3 vents but this does not help.

Great Vac

published

Had to buy a larger vacuum when we moved into a bigger place with more carpet. This vacuum feels very powerful, I'm consistently surprised at the amount of dust it's able to pull out of our carpet even with regular cleaning. All the components (bin, filter, etc) are easy to access and clean. The power cable is quite long, and I've had no issues in the last 6 months with clogging or anything else.
There are 5 different power levels you can choose from, and all the buttons on the machine are large and easy to use. My only real issue is that it takes up a fair amount of space, I probably wouldn't recommend it if you don't have adequate storage space.



Purchased in July 2021 at Harvey Norman Retail Stores - Appliances for $230.00.

Great Suction Of Electrolux ZUF4301OR

published

Bought this little vacuum to replace my old Electrolux. The size is good for small storage space and has long cord,
This is a cyclonic bagless vacuum cleaner that is powerful.
It can really suck the amount of dust in my bedroom far better than my old Electrolux.
Disposing the dust is as easy as the push of the slot at the bottom of the bin.
It has a long hose. However, it always kinked and I guess due to the material used for the hose.
Overall, i recommend this little beauty

Best Vacuum ever

published

Excellent suction power and light, but noise bit higher side compare to conventional vacuum. This vacuum good in hard floor and bed. The long cord is the best for condominium use where come with limited plug point. The vacuum is quiet good at getting the hair off the floor or on the bed.

2 year warranty...stopped working after 2.5 years! don't buy Electrolux!

published

We have only two small carpeted bedrooms to vacuum.....cannot believe that the second Electrolux we have purchased has broken not long after the 2 year warranty expired!!! Absolutely appalling products that cost a lot but fail to deliver! Took them in to different repairers and same story....unfixable. Never again will we even consider any Electrolux products.

Electrolux Vacuum Cleaner

published

I needed a vacuum that would take every bit of dust out of the room and house - it had to have excellent filters plus a hepa filter - as I have an allergy to mold and dust that was making me quite ill.
My new Electrolux vacuum cleaner is remarkable for its efficiency and adaptability and the filters can all be removed and cleaned.
The suction is fantastic and I have found it easy to use around my house on all floors and furnuture and other surfaces where dust sits.
There is an attachment for every surface and the canisters empties into a plastic bag with ease.
I am excited about my electrolux vacuum cleaner - you will be also.

Solid and powerful, but a pain to use

published

On the one hand, this vacuum has great suction, solid build, easy to clean filters, and a long cord which is very handy. On the other hand, it is difficult to maneuvre and pull around corners. The standard hose it comes with is inflexible and prone to kinking. Although the machine itself is a great vacuum, its ergonomics make vacuuming more of a chore than it has to be.

Very bad

published

Gradually lost suction over time, from being very powerful in the first 2 weeks, after that it began to become weaker and weaker. The plastic parts were very weak and broke very easily. Now I Cant vacuum without the head sliding out.
I am very dissapointed with this product and would not recommend it.

As good as I expect

published

Very happy with this model and the price is competitive.
I bought it for the apartment, mainly carpet. It's easy to use and the suction is strong enough.
The cord is longer than 10 meters therefore no need to swap the power point often.
I would highly recommend it for people who live in apartment.

Handy vacuum cleaner

published

Great product, awesome quality. Never had any issues. And the price is quite cheap, especially compared to the overpriced dyson. It works great for carpets and tiles, sucks crumbs very well. I would recommend this to my friends. The only thing is that it is a bit too heavy and loud in noise.

Very good

published

I bought my first model from Harvey Norman and I had no problems with its performance or suction. After 6 months it began developing a problem where pressing the power button would not work, initially it would occur 1 out of 5 times but after a few months it would be 7 out of 10 so I decided to ring Eletrolux. Their warranty replacement is the best and they swapped my vacuum cleaner with a brand new one no questions asked. The new model has been working fine so far (I only had it for 2 months) so let's see how we go.

Great vaccum

published

Great vacuum. It has very good suction and it is not bulky or heavy at all. It can be used on both hard floors and carpet really well. Our house is mainly tiles and it would suction onto them so well so that all mess was cleaned up so easily.

Just magic

published

I use my Dyson on a 70 sqm shag pile carpet, it is the only vacuum that has been able to get it properly clean.
Its very easy to use an maneuver around the furniture and the attachments are great for the couch, windowsills, cat tree, etc. It is very light and compact, fits easily into a small storage space.
