Electrolux Ultraflex Questions & Answers

Hi, I'm wondering how often I need to change the filter for my UltraFlex. Do i need to purchase a new starter kit every so often? Or is regular cleaning sufficient. Cheers

I need to take the foot of my ultraflex apart to put the accordion looking piece back in. Any suggs how?

Have just bought machine and the handle won’t lift up it seems fixed in place

I have an Ultraflex, and when we bring the power level up to 4 or 5 with the power brush head on the power brush head pulses a few times and then the whole machine shuts off. It sounds as though it is not getting enough power to run the vac at full power with the power brush head running at the same time.

We have the Electrolux Ultraflex. The roller brush in the power head does not turn. the brush is on the "on" position, the roller removed and completely cleaned and all filters cleaned on a regular basis. what's left to do? thanks

How can I buy an attachment that has the skinny nozzle so I can clean window tracks and skirting boards please.. why did ine not come with the vacuum cleaner?

Can I buy the Ultraflex Starter Pack filter set for my ZUF4301OR - the box reads its for the ZUF4201OR and I cant find what the difference is anywhere?

Hi guys, I bought my Electrolux ultraflex Animal January 2022, it has been working well until today when it has completely lost suction. I can say it has stopped working. bearing in mind that the filters are cleansed, however I never changed any of them so far. I am very frustrated as I was promised it will last longer. what should i do. it is still in the Warranty.

Cleaning filters and which way when replacing

The power button and cord rewind button are not working, they are pressed right in and dont spring back.

I bought this vacuum April 2015. It has been great until last weekend when the engine started making an awful sound and letting off an awful smell. I'm thinking the engine will need replacing. I'm not happy about throwing away a vacuum cleaner only 4 years old. What do you recommend?

Hi
Could you tell me if it’s ok to take the wheel off near where the lead is? The plug has come off and the lead is tangled?

How do you open the turbo head to clean the brush?

I have removed the four screws, but there is nothing I can do to actually remove the bottom plate.

Electrolux UltraFlex EUF8ANIMAL Review
This review is intended to relay my personal attitude of this appliance. It in no way is intended to sway other users; either current owners or prospective buyers. It is however intended to describe the strongest point and the weakest, or lamest point of this appliance; nothing more, nothing less.
The only positive I can give, it has good suction.
The best description of its one major flaw which will be evident shortly; is if it was not for the good suction I would have to say this appliance sucks.
Whoever designed the handle and relevant attachment of hose obviously does not understand the physics of how the hose interacts with the handle and the subsequent problems associated with this.
Crowded locations of furniture and the problems that this presents regarding this over designed handle and hose connection is a very strong design flaw.
Vacuum cleaners I have used in the past do not seem to have such an obtrusive handle to hose connection. This causes me to wonder if the design engineers at Electrolux ever bothered to take this machine for test run in real life situations where for example you need to vacuum under a bed or sofa that is located very close to other furniture or walls.
Another item that infuriates is the machines inability to roll over its own power cord when that power cord gets in the way.
The flexible hose at times refuses to unravel but attempts to remain in a coiled position which causes a major lack of mobility and flexibility regarding how easily the hose and the connected extension tube with cleaning head can be manipulated.
Another item of much frustration is Electrolux’s creation of this machine with proprietary hose connections such that other hoses and cleaning heads from other manufacturers cannot be used with this machine.
In short, I would not recommend this machine to anyone even though it has good suction. What good is a machine that is not very good at manipulation of its cleaning attachments and the hose that connects them if all it does is suck and that is its only positive attribute?

Hi all
I have just got a new one of these, but the telescopic handle won’t click into place. Is this a common issue with this device or is there an easy solution I’m missing ?

I've removed and washed the inner filter pad (thin white layer on one side and thick black foam on the other side). Which way does it go back in? I can't find my instruction manual.

hi,
i cant seem to extend handle on electrolux now.I seems as though it has stuck and no movement?Hard vacuuming on a short handle lol

My ultra flex wont start! Have had to wiggle the on off button to get it to start lately but it wont start at all today!
Thoughts please?

The suction on the vacuum has dropped to considerably low. Number is at max of 5 - and no blockages what so-ever. Any ideas?
