Electrolux Cyclone XL ZCX6202

Can't find any better! – I have this vacuum cleaner for 8 years. Never broke down! Glad that the dust container can be washed over and over. One minus is that it works very loud and is a little bit heavy. Also alI thimbles could be in a small box that is attached to vaccum cleaner. I use it 3 times a week for all types of floors. We even have natural wool carpet.  Show details

Piece of junk – Another worthless made in china piece of crap. Less than one month of household use. The filtration will not protect the motor. The cord rewinder broke. It is just garbage.

Excellent Bagless Electrolux Vacuum – This is a GREAT vacuum cleaner! As I read the review's, I thought, did these disgruntled owner's read the instructions? How dirty are their homes? or are they just dense! This Electrolux cordless vacuum cleaner has multiple (5) filters which all can be rinsed out an reused, over & over again. The filters are excellent & filter out Everything! We… Read more

have multiple allergies, an the air that exits this vacuum is as pure as the High Alps. The plastic dust/dirt canister has TWO end caps that have small 'clips' DO NOT use a screw driver to pry open these clips, use a popsicle stick or your finger's. Be patient! The clips' are tight for a reason,,,,TO FILTER DUST & DIRT! There is also a non-removable cone mesh 'filter' inside the dust container, It is there to collect hair etc. (& does a excellent job) be sure to clean that. I remove both end caps, empty dirt/dust an wash out dust canister & end caps with warm water an a little dish soap, an let air dry. The sponge filters are excellent. Rinse out with warm water an a few drops of dish soap, wring out like a sponge, Air Dry. Use a good ole' fashion 'bottle brush' to get all the dirt out of the dust canister. The suction is excellent! when properly cleaned an maintained, Which mean's that this Electrolux is Excellent at filtering the Dirt & Dust and NOT Blowing it back into the air in your home. So if it's Not sucking'(aka there is low or no suction) then the dust container & filters NEED to be CLEANED! If you live in a' pig pen' the dirt/dust fills up the filters faster! SO! TURN OFF! the vacuum cleaner an CLEAN IT! If you don't clean any vacuum cleaner there will be limited or no suction, AND if your DENSE! and the let the motor run,with limited or ZERO air flow you will eventually 'cook' the motor. In closing this is an Excellent Vacuum cleaner an like ALL Vacuum cleaners has Plastic parts. The vacuum cleaner is NOT a 'Tether Ball' do not throw it around, drag it, use it as step stool or use a screw driver or pliers to pry it apart. I would buy a used Electrolux ZCX6202 Cyclone anytime. Electrolux made a GREAT! vacuum cleaner with this model. Too bad for Electrolux that some owners are to DENSE! to own, operate an CLEAN it.

'A very pleased owner' (who knows how to use & maintain a great appliance)

Wish I had never gotten it – The plastic is brittle, breaks really easy. It's rubbish. And the company wont repair it. Got it repaired before the warranty was out. Lasted 3 months & the same things broke. Took it back to the repair shop, they said the couldn't help me, gave me numbers to ring, nobody would help mucked me around for 6 months till customer services told me… Read more

that parts have a year warranty after they been replaced, so I took it back to repair shop, now Electrolux is saying its to old to replace. When it was their fault it wasn't repaired the first time. Like the look of it Way to expensive. Really bad warranty service. Plastic brittle.

So disappointing – I wish I had read these reviews before purchasing. Total waste of hard earned money. Couldn't suck up a feather, brush is a total nuisance, filters are ridiculous. Just over a year old but it's going out in the next council clean up. I fondly remember the electrolux we had when I was a child in the 60's :( Was impressed with demo I received in the store No suction is the biggest problem

Please don't waste your money! – Worked well for about 10 minutes. Turbo nozzle gets jammed regularly. Multiple filters that keep getting blocked despite regular cleaning. Poor suction regularly and dowsnt pick up any fluff. Found customer service number very unhelpful. 12 months old turbo nozzle doesn't work. Electronics doing random things and doesn't even start. I've never… Read more

bought something so troublesome in all my life. I thought stay with the safe brand that I thought electrolux was. Never again.

Poor functioning on all levels

Complete Waste of Money – When the filter isnt blocked this cleaner works fine, unfortunately the small tube/filter thing blocks in about two minutes and unless you have a 10 year olds hands you cant get the [censored word removed] out. Completely useless and I paid close to $400 for this at Harvey Norman. Like others, my family has had electrlux for years, not next time! It doesnt suck!

NOT HAPPY – The tube on this vac fell over in the laundry and all the buttons on the tube fell apart which made it awkward to use. It did not get heavy use but the internal moulding on the dust collect has poor design. Even if container not full it gathers around the shapes and you have to try to ease wedge of stuff out so it operates properly. Today i… Read more

didnt notice this wedge of stuff and it overheated and vac is not working. I am not spending money to fix it.. I will look more carefully at the design of the dust collector as I have

dust allergies and dont want to be dragging out wadded clags of dust. Yes it conked out one month after

warranty expired...such is life

bring back the tubular vacuum cleaner – The worst vacuum cleaner i have ever used, being an electrolux fan for 54 years, grandmothers in the early fifties, mothers in the sixties , and my own unit since and upon replacement upgrade with the present unit; looking to CHOICE for an appropriate review and replacement as requests to electrolux re service advice was totally non-productive,… Read more

Multiple filters and expensive replacements, all filters maintained after weekly use, loss of suction shortly after purchase, then unit fused,

Good start and off to a bad finish – I have a very similar experience to Meg55. When I started using it I was quite excited upgrading from a really old, weak vacuum but after a few months the suction started rapidly decreasing and you have to clean most of the filters after each vacuum run. Picking up hair from a wool carpet is a nightmare and even the little extra rotating brush… Read more

head does little to help. Good performance on hard floors, pretty quiet and lightweight, OK to clean as most parts are washable. Bad performance on carpets, especially with hair on it. Container fills up pretty quickly and is quite hard to clean due to the many nooks and crevices which you just can't reach or flush.

Good – This is a really good moderately priced bagless vacuum cleaner and is a pleasure to use. It is important to clean the dust filters after each use to maintain optimum efficiency, and this is achieved by washing in fresh water and although something not necessary to do with bag vacuum cleaners it is a trade off worth making to be free of the… Read more

replacement costs of dust bags. This is the first bagless vacuum cleaner I have owned and after more than 6 months use have found it delivers what the I expected from a mid priced unit. It is large enough to fully vacuum a three bedroom house without having to empty the canister until finished. I always use it at the full power setting and it works at the same efficiency from start to finish. The canister is simple to disengage and engage for emptying of lint. The electric cord is long enough without having to move to more than two power points during cleaning. The large rear wheels allow the unit to maneuver easily on hard and soft flooring. The regular suction head works well on hard and soft floors and the air driven power head is excellent in picking up stubborn pieces of thread and small objects on carpet and rugs. The connection of the hose to the unit does not swivel freely and at times this causes the hose to loop back on itself,kink and choke the air flow. It wold be better if the rotating on/off and power control knob was a slide control so that it could be adjusted with operators feet in standing position. The second lid on the dust canister needs to be modified so that it can be removed as easily as the one designed to empty the dust to allow occasional thorough cleaning of the whole canister with water.

I hate this vaccuum cleaner – For the first ten minutes I loved it to bits. Then it stopped sucking. Over several months I learned all the wee tricks to keep it sweet - basically dismantle it and clean all the filters every time you use it. Now the catch on the canister is loose because I've done this so much and this morning a new problem: the power cord jammed inside the… Read more

machine and I can't see any way of getting the jolly thing apart to fix it. Next time I will buy a Miele.

Poor design.

Excellent – very good portabality with power and no expensive bags to change good suction and very happy with the unit.I would highly recommend it anyone with limited budget and going for a cyclonic action Good suction, easy to clean, large dust capacity, poly carbonate shatterproof dust collector, wide range of accessories, not too expensive paid $240@ goodguys none so far

Excellent – The bagless system works well with a sealed cell that's removable from the cleaner with a handle. Easy to empty with no mess. Turbo head seems to do a great job and cleaning the carpet. It seems to pick up everything, especially hair. Works great. Would be good if the hose was more compact and the various heads have no storage on-board.
