Electrolux Well Q7 WQ71-P5OIB

Unsatisfactory – I originally bought this and it was brilliant, on both hard floors and carpet. It did everything I wanted it to do. The battery lasted 3 years so I bought a new one, thinking it was the same, but they changed the design and the new one is awful!!! The head unit, after only two months, vibrates itself loose and the roller hangs. I have had it… Read more

replaced twice, and now it’s no longer covered under the warranty. I would steer clear of this product!! Very frustrating!!!

Thought I was getting a good deal! – Simply went shopping to buy a replacement for my faithful ErgoRapido stick vacuum, which was still working after many years, but had lost the screw holding the handle together. I was impressed by the stronger suction of the next model up - Pure Well Q7. First time I used it, it kept switching itself off every couple of minutes. Thinking it was… Read more

something that I was doing wrong, I persevered. Next time I used it I tried vacuuming up some uncooked rice that I had spilled on the kitchen tiles. I noticed that it stopped suctioning after picking up a bit of the rice. Decided to empty the canister - no rice at all in it. The rice had not got past the hose leading to the canister. Pulled it apart and managed to clear the rice from the hose and although the suction returned, the machine kept on turning itself off every few minutes. I decided to return it and go back to my original choice of ErgoRapido and I couldn't be happier. If this one lasts as long as my previous ErgoRapido I will be a very happy person. I have also found that the ErgoRapido is much easier to empty and clean than the Pure Well Q7.

Not fit for purpose – Worked okay for 12 months, but then started cutting out every half a minute, leaves junk everywhere when you switch it off, suction got lower and lower as the months went on and cleaning the canister didn't help that, now it doesn't work at all. Absolute piece of rubbish. Can't believe they want 600 bucks for this turkey now. I'm glad I didn't pay the 500 they wanted at the time Show details

Very Handy, love it – Had one of these electrolux years ago swore I would never buy another as after a while they just keep switching off by them selves. Here I am with a new one love it, but the first one I bought 4 weeks ago started switching off after 30 seconds turn back on and it switches off again so I took it back and they have replaced it with another one the same, and I am very happy with it, just hope it lasts. Show details

Great Vacuum – I use this vacuum on both my carpet and tiles floors. Great, handy machine and love the fact that it has a light so you can see spots that you may have missed. I feel this works better on the tiles than carpet, but overall I am happy with the battery life and weight. Quick and easy to clean as well! Show details

Affordable with great design features and performance – Went shopping for new vacuums, thinking that we would buy a Dyson Stick. But after using the Dyson in store, I didn't like the weight of the Dyson at the handle end, nor did I like the trigger pull that you have to hold on. I think this electrolux Q7 design that has all the heaviest components down low reduces the strain on your wrist. What I… Read more

like: - Design, how the extension piece fits in the handle. - Ease of which to remove the hand held vac from the rest of the item. - Filter stops fine dust. - Hair removing feature. - Ease of direction change in and around obstacles.

What I don't like, - Bin canister is small. - Hair and fluffy can wrap around bin canister's mesh filter so you have to pull it out.

After years of having to cut hair out of a vacuum cleaner head, I just can't emphasise enough how great the hair removing feature is. Turn on the vacuum, step on the hair removing button on the vacuum head for 5 seconds and all the hair and fluff is removed. Why has no one else done this??? Dyson charges you $1300 to get the latest conical head that stops hair tangles but it's a very small attachment so it's only half as wide. I 100% percent recommend this vacuum.

Great for my needs – I live in a two bedroom apartment (single story) and the flooring tiles and laminate. I don't have any pets. I've never had a stick vacuum before so I don't have anything to compare it to. I previously had a Dyson Big Ball vacuum but was sick of plugging and unplugging it so i got this one. It's relatively quiet. I feel like i could vacuum at… Read more

11pm and my neighbours wouldn't hear it.

It glides smoothly along the floors (both tiles and laminate).

It has a light when it's on so I can see all the dirt on the floor. I love this because it means I don't miss anything.

I can lie it flat on the floor and vacuum underneath the bed and the couch to get all the dust underneath.

For the size of my place I've never ran out of battery vacuuming so it suits the size of my place. And I don't feel like the vacuum fills up too quickly. It's pretty easy to empty out.

The filter has to be cleaned every now and again which isn't a huge issue but its something i often forget about.

I don't really use the roller brush cleaner so I can't comment on that.

I like that all the accessories are attached to the vacuum. Keeps everything together. Also like that I can remove the vacuum itself to get into tighter spaces or to clean the car.

Something that could be an improvement is the base it sits in. It doesn't have any weight to it so when I put the vacuum back in, i have to make sure I'm not knocking it otherwise it won't slot in. Usually takes me a few times to get it in, which I kind of annoying but I'd still buy this again especially for its price point.

One other thing is I wish the handle was a bit longer. I'm only 150cm tall but I find myself bending over sometimes while vacuuming so might be more annoying for taller people. But again this isn't a massive deal since I'm only vacuuming for 10-15 minutes.

This is more an observation but I noticed the vacuum only goes forwards and backwards. Doesn't move side to side. Not sure if that's normal with stick vacuums.

Overall though I'm pretty happy with this purchase! Honestly it makes me want to vacuum more.

Pretty good for the price point – First of all I’d like to get out of the way what the Electrolux Well Q7 vacuum cleaner isn’t so I can review based on what it is :-) It is not Dyson. Even though it might directly compete with older, cheaper, earlier Dyson models - it is not comparable. It is not performing as your typical corded vacuum cleaner. While it is good, it in most cases… Read more

wont replace strengths of vacuuming corded appliances. It is “not that” expensive Previously I had a Dyson V8 and V11 (still have V11). Naively I’d like to compare my experience with the Electrolux Well Q7 vacuum to a particular Dyson. I should not. Dyson is designed differently, operates mostly differently and sold at a different price point. However, at the price point it is sold it’s not that bad of a value proposition. General quality of the appliance is good and it is relatively easy to use. Some things are even designed better than those at Dyson. For example, the docking station. You don’t have to screw the docking station to the wall to mount the vacuum. Big bonus for those of us who rent. Also, the Electrolux Well Q7 vacuum has all its attachments neatly stored within the vacuum cleaner body. That’s awesome. I always struggle to neatly store all the attachments that came with the Dyson. The vacuuming rotating brush also has inbuilt LED light. It is very handy when vacuuming darker places. The first charge (charge from empty) takes around 4 hours. Not good, not bad, just important to know for those that expect “things in an instant”. Operation is straightforward and in general the vacuum does a great job for the price point. There is an option to slow down/speed up cleaning brush rotation and sucktion to save power for non-carpet surfaces. While I didn’t time battery usage it is enough to vacuum the average Australian house and there is juice for some more. The way vacuum is designed is that the “actual vacuum cleaner” can be detached from the main frame and used to vacuum cars, trickier surfaces and not so easy to reach places. The only thing that I truly dislike is emptying the dust. Not only is the container small, it is also almost impossible to open it up without dust flying around. Not sure if I’m overreacting, but in comparison with Dyson it is not well designed. Despite all of the above, I consider the Electrolux Well Q7 vacuum to be pretty good especially considering the price point. I would not hesitate to recommend it especially if you can’t afford the latest and greatest Dyson.
