One of the most useless vacuum cleaners I’ve ever owned. Was gifted this for a birthday present. 2 months in and the metal pole rod clip just fell off and snapped. The main head keeps detaching from the pole, the pole keeps detaching from the main hose. As far as pet hair goes, I’ve had better in far cheaper cleaners. Used on both carpet and tiles. Vacuum head continues to swivel upside down and doesn’t even follow you anywhere you want it Show details
Sounds great on paper, electrolux "quality" at a reasonable price. Only a small length power cord ? It should be ok...it isn't! Not long enough to reach across an average room (if you have to take it around a few things..then it's ridiculously short) the quality of the accessories is very poor. The sleak look of the vacuum is modern, but the wheel… Read more
moulds catch on every single edge they can, it still amazes me..... The capacity is far to small... I know it's a compact model, but get used to emptying it every 2nd room. Also the process involved in this, unless your extremely careful will involve another clean-up where you empty the dust. On a positive, the suction is good. But thats about it Sorry electrolux seems chasing the compact more affordable market most of the aspects that matter in a vac are only half thought out. There's a fine line between "good value" and "Cheap" and a few annoying basics with this model means it isn't your greatest effort by far
The vacuum lasted from January 2024 to August 2025, then the motor blew out. Before that it worked very well with great suction and very easy to keep clean. I don't think I misused it in any way, and it was only running for 5-10 minutes when it eventually failed. Show details
They are Good quality parts and the suction is amazing! For under $200 it is outstanding in comparison to what's out there in the same price range. Show details
Not a bad small bagless vacuum cleaner – I purchased this bagless electrolux second hand recently and apart from emitting a smell( which is not as bad now) it's pretty good! Im a domestic house cleaner and have used many types of vacuum cleaners. Good points: Easy empty, lightweight and powerful suction, longish wand and easy to pull around... The Negatives: Apart from a smell from the… Read more
motor, The cord is way to short and dust get's stuck at the top of the vacuum cannister which entails pulling the barrel apart to get to it. I do like it better than my small Bosch. To improve it Electrolux please have Better washable fabric filters( like a Dyson) a longer cord and wand and better sealed cannister. Overall it's a handy little vacuum with ample suction. Many people forget to maintain their vacuum cleaners and when they break down, they just blame the brand. Everyone please maintain and look after your vacuum cleaners and they should look after you!
short cord – good vacuum for value but big drawback is the short electrical cord - means always using an extension cord or changing electrical outlets Show details
Mostly has been a great vacuum – I have had this vacuum for a year, I actually use it at work for office cleaning as I cant carry a back-vac and it has been powerful and reliable as long as i keep the filters clean and empty it regularly. Has been good at home with cat hair. The turbo head however I don't use as it has been ineffective on any surface. It can tip over at times. Show details
Do not buy – I bought this from Appliances online and the powerhead continues to stop working and jam. The other head does not work effectively on carpet, it is useless. Suction isn’t great at all. It’s just an awful machine. Electrolux were meant to send me out a replacement head but have not done so and it’s been months. Will never ever buy this brand again. Over $200 and it’s a lemon. Customer service also tends to reflect quality, or lack of, vacuum Show details
Disappointing – Was a great machine for 2 years. Light, easy to use, good suction. Suddenly it started overheating and switching off. Cleaned filters, but still no good. Won't be getting another. Retrieved my 21 yo Meile from the garage. Show details
Poor quality product – The vacuum cleaner has good suction but overheats after a short time and you have to wait a least half an hour for it to cool down. I have wooden floors and a couple of rugs with no pile so not working it very hard. This is without the dust collector filling up. Have tried washing all the filters. This is the second machine. The motor on the first… Read more
one burnt out while still under warranty. I have an Electrolux from the 1970's which still works, but it's heavy and scratches the floor dragging it around. They sure have gone downhill.
2 vacuums just stopped working in under 12 months – The first one I purchased on 18/9/20. Worked great until 30/10/20 (just over a month!) when it just stopped mid vacuum and would not start again. Took it back to the Good Guys who after some consultation replaced the vacuum for exact same model on 31/10/21. Today (23/10/21) the replacement did the same thing - stopped mid vacuum and would not… Read more
start again. So I am back to the Good Guys for a replacement only this time won't be going for the same model - 3 new vacuums in 12 months is a bit much I think Electrolux!
Absolute rubbish, I am gobsmacked it gets good reviews!! – After our previous electrolux vac cleaner accessories started falling apart just out of warranty, I swore I wouldn't buy another electrolux vacuum. We were looking to spend sub 200 and this cleaner came up at 190 on Good Guys commercial, and for god knows what reason averaged over 4 stars, maybe these people were using a dustpan and broom before?.… Read more
I started off at nearly 3 stars but by the time I finished vacuuming the house I settled on 1 star. Firstly the Pros: Really good suction, reasonably quiet and very light. Now the Cons: The biggest reason for the rating is the accessories, or more so how they connect to the vacuum, even on our previous Electrolux, the hose and accessories "clicked" together, on this vac they just push in, nothing to hold them there other than the tight fit. 2 issues with this, firstly over time with repeated pushing in and out the connections will become loose, no doubt this will happen out of warranty period . Second issue is it is a pain in the butt everytime you want to change the heads (eg from turbo to hard floor) you have to pull the head out of the hose and push the new head in, this wouldn't be an issue if you never use the different heads or the other accessories but when you are changing from carpet to hard floor 2 or 3 times during a clean, it's a pain. Also at least once the combination hard/soft floor head came out because I hadn't pushed it in hard enough. So that's not my opinion, if you have different floors and want to use eg the upholstery brush, it's going to be more difficult than a vac with click on accessories, even our previous electrolux, which was cheaper, had click on accessories and hose fittings (the hose fitting into the vac is click in type, ironically this is the one fitting you never need to change, what the ??????? The "turbo" head sounds impressive but if you put your hand under it the suction is almost non existent, I was suspect when it glided over the carpet with almost no resistance, it is useless. So on to the thing that just annoyed me: every time you vacuum up a small hard item, the "cyclone" gimmick causes it to whizz around making a noise akin to the local red cross volunteer rattling the change tin. Although the dust catcher was nearly empty, I had to empty it twice to avoid going insane. I now regret taking notice of the reviews and am returning it to the Good Guys. (of course, they wouldn't take it back, no worries, hello Harvey Norman)
UPDATE 1/1/2021 : At no time did Electrolux try to contact me to talk about or resolve my issue. I gave them 2 weeks to respond prior to publishing this review and I got nothing from them, so the Vacuum cleaner is lousy and so is their customer care !!
UPDATE: I just purchased a Miele C2 compact for 299 from Harvey Norman, so only 50-60 more than the Electrolux. It is like night and day!! The Miele hoses, accessories etc all "click" into place, it's quiet, amazing suction and doesn't fall over every 2 minutes . Do not waste your hard earned cash on the electrolux, for the love of god!!
UPDATE : Was never contacted by Electrolux and will never purchase anything from them again
Don't bother – This vacuum cleaner is not very good. It has a turbo head that lacks enough power to turn it properly to clean carpets etc. Also despite being only a few weeks old, our vacuum also started cutting out after a couple of minutes use. The filters etc were clean but it would cut out and not work until it had sat there for a while. Electrolux were not… Read more
helpful and wanted us to take it to a repair place way over the other side of the city for evaluation.

Disappointing product – Our previous vacuum was an ELECTROLUX ZUA3820P which we'd had for 9 years and still went well, but we figured it was time for an update. We stuck with Electrolux after that good experience. Boy! Are we disappointed. It's 400 watts less power, but we knew that when we bought, and it was the front-runner of what was on offer. Once out of the box… Read more
it was obviously inferior. The previous one (and still some of Electrolux vacs) was made in Hungary. This one was made in China, and it's obvious. Everything is of inferior quality from the floor part to the cord. The "head" is smaller hence requires more passes and is harder to switch between carpet and tiles. The tube is lightweight metal, has the extension section upside-down and is shorter so I have to bend a bit. The curve of the handle is such that it stresses the wrist as you manoeuvre it. The dust collector doesn't drop the "dust ball" when you open it and you have to dig it out. There is a band of dust that is permanently trapped at the top of the transparent bowl. The cord is at least 2 metres shorter than its predecessor which means I either run an extension or move from one powerpoint to another. It has a fairly high pitched whine. I can't say I'm even in love with the bright red colour but could easily forgive that if some of the other aspects were better. Verdict- it sucks!
Versatile, great little vacuum that is good value for money – Originally I considered buying a stand-up, rechargeable vacuum such as the Dyson D7 but the reviews were terrible due to the limited life span of the battery and short usage time before the battery runs out. I therefore opted for the the Electrolux Ease C4 and am very happy with my purchase for the following reasons: 1. It has multiple… Read more
attachments suitable for my parquet flooring, carpets/rugs and a nifty tool for getting behind sofa cushions and in window stills etc. 2. Compact and fairly lightweight. 3. Unlimited battery life as it plugs into mains 4. Looks good in sexy red :)
I would not hesitate to recommend. Great product for the low price.
Simple to use. Easy to clean – Fast to use. Cleans well. Not too noisy. Easy to empty and to clean. The different heads you receive, make cleaning any surface a breeze. Also cleans the car without any issues. Show details
Powerful and relatively silent – I was previously using a lowest priced aldi vacuum, so my comparison is with that. I was looking for something which works on both hard (wooden) and carpet floor. My budget was around 250$, this product was on discount on GoodGuys and bought it at 224$ (usually 299$). I got a good product a good price as well. I have used few times now, first and… Read more
foremost, easy to throw the dust away. I was surprised to see lot of dust collected when I used it first time (coz of previous vacuum). This is quite as well, it makes noise coz of powerful air suction when you take it off the ground, otherwise way lesser noise. I would recommend it to my friends. Real value for money.
Not happy – I use this vacuum on polish floor , carpets and tiles . Sucking and cleaning is acceptable but is very annoying when attachments and pipe comes off on time in use . Vacuum price low and quality also low . Show details
Perfect vacuum cleaner – It is a powerful vacuum I bought this model last July, it is simple to use not too heavy to carry also it picks the fur, hair and dust very well. I use it to clean different floor tiles and sofa also it easy to clean and maintain as it is a bagless vacuum model. Show details
