Electrolux Ease C3 Origin EC31-2IW (Ice White)

Gotta say dang this sucker is powerful. It slaps together in a few moves . But the real winner is the variable suction. I turned it to full for my carpet. Yeah be careful lol. It's a real powerful little unit. 5 by 5 guys n gals. A must have. Price is great Show details

Suction has reduced considerably over the year since purchased despite washing the filters. The canister is difficult to fully empty as the dust flap diameter is smaller than the dust canister diameter. The power cord is way too short. The tools are very cheap. Would not recommend. Show details

Don't waste your money – I bought this vacuum 6 weeks ago, at first the suction was great, but now, it wouldn't suck the cream off your coffee. I have spent countless hours cleaning every filter and orifice and still no suction. Paid over 200.00 for what I thought was a good brand but now, I feel it was a waste of money. I have 5 cats and 1 dog and vacuum daily and this cleaner is/was a total waste of money. Very frustrating. Show details

Works great until it doesn't – We bought this vacuum 6 months ago because I accidentally broke our Dyson big ball and it was all that was in stock locally. I imagine it being the perfect vacuum for someone with a lower budget who has no children, lives in a small tiled unit, and is almost never home. However it falls woefully short for our family of 5 (plus ragdoll cat), where… Read more

4 are home full-time, 3 are intent on leaving a path of destruction in their wake, and the cat's fluffy hair apparently needs a litre of bin space all to itself. We also have a lot of carpet so possibly our vacuum demands are greater, but it's just something I've never had to think about.

At first I was impressed by the suction, although the poor quality of the attachments was immediately apparent. The whole thing just felt flimsy compared to what I'm used to but wasn't complaining at first because it was so inexpensive and I guess you get what you pay for. It was all downhill from there though and within a month it had almost completely lost suction and the only way to return it was to wash the filter which was not straightforward. I also very quickly realised how tiny the dust bin is as I can't make it past the living area without having to empty it, and the dust bin itself is extremely difficult to empty if anything larger than a 10 cent piece has made its way into the bin as everything gets stuck between the filter and the wall. I have to manually scrape everything out of it by hand about 90% of the time which is not super hygenic. I've tried to make it work because I don't want to be wasteful but I am at my wit's end and am going to be ordering a Dyson cinetic big ball to replace it.

Nothing Ease-y about vacuuming with this – the head has hard sharp edged plastic rim making it difficult to push the vacuum forward. It grabs the carpet and you have to shove it to move forward Medium-setting. Show details
