Electrolux SilentPerformer

Terrible – Worst vacuum cleaner ever in 40 yrs of buying household products. Only used a handful of times, overheated every time and now just stopped working. Cleaned after every use but why? Should not have to. No suction whatsoever, thought there must be a blockage, no blockage. I am returning to get money back and never will purchase Electrolux again. Get this off the market now. Show details

At Last! The Quiet Achiever – This vacuum is perfect for people who suffer from Hyperacusis; you can now vacuum pain free. Excellent on pet hair as it has the roller head attachment as well as the floor/carpet head. Plus a brush head that I haven't worked out how to attach yet. Attachments easy to use with small hands. Easy to hold and squeeze for seniors. Only drawback, no… Read more

beak nozzle for crevices. No instructions for attaching brush nozzle. After 5yrs of hell with high-pitched noise and struggling to detach hose etc (1hr upwards) in tears, I just can't believe that this new product is so good. Thank you Electrolux for considering people with Hyperacusis and small female hands.

Feels like a much more premium vacuum!! – I have a house with carpets and laminate floor and was noticing my old second hand Dyson was not keeping up anymore. I wanted a replacement but did not want spend $800 dollars plus on a new Dyson. Did some research and this came up as having postive reviews. I used it first on my shagpile mat and OMG the cannister was full in 2 minutes that's how… Read more

much dust and dog hair my Dyson had been missing. Pros: This vacuum is very powerful on max setting but still easy to push. You can also adjust the power. It came with the normal head and the turbo head for vacuuming different floor types. Very easy to maneuver around the house and lightweight. It's not silent but is quieter than my old Dyson was. Compact size, easy to store in cupboard. I was also able to buy a spare filter kit which will come in handy when I need to clean the filters. Feels good quality like a premium product. Cons: Canister is a bit on the smaller side but it's very easy to see when it's full and needs emptying. Also this is expected with a more compact machine.

Have not had for long so unsure if will last the test of time but fingers crossed!

Works well to pick up pet hair and dust and is easy to empty and clean - quiet but not silent – Bought the Electrolux SilentPerformer Animal (ZSP4303PET) from the Good Guys on 2 January 2021. We use it on hard wood floors, vinyl flooring and tiles as well as curtains and upholstery. As we have two mainly inside Staffordshire Terrier dogs and an inside only Ragdoll cat there is a lot of pet hair for the vacuum to deal with as well as… Read more

everyday dust. So far the vaccum has performed very well, it picks up all the hair, dust and fluff, we use it daily and need to empty it every couple of days. Emptying and cleaning the vacuum is very easy, the parts click out and click back in easily and the clip to open to clean it out works easily as well. It comes with a variety of attachments including a turbo head, and we are very pleased with it. The vaccum has a button to roll back the electrical cord and an accelorator lever to change the level of vacuum power. It is not a silent vacuum but slightly quieter than othe rpwoerful pet vacuums. It is also quite light and rolls easily. At this stage we have not had issues with the tubing getting clogged. A bit concnered that the clips that hold the barrel closed may break as they feel like brittle plastic, but they may be stronger than they appear. PROS picks up dust and pet hair quickly and easily comes with a variety of useful attachments easy to empty and clean fairly light rolls easily cord retraciton button accelerator power lever CONS is not silent but is slightly quieter than a non'silent performer' vaccum

This is nowhere near silent – My admin person bought this about 2 years ago after I said I wanted a quiet vacuum cleaner at work. Unfortunately, it was neither quiet nor a very good vacuum cleaner. To be fair, she was not to know this based on what this machine was said to do. It was always too loud for me. I could hear it being used through my treatment room door at work. I… Read more

used to have an Electrolux UltraSilencer and could never hear that through the door- so I will go back to that one. But my admin person liked using the SilentPerformer and she was the one doing the cleaning so I didn't really worry too much. However, now it's just me at work and I'm back to doing the cleaning (!) and this is a very noisy machine, moreso when you use the powerhead. So I use the all-floors head instead. The clean isn't as good, but at least I still have my hearing when I've finished vacuuming.

This is used on carpet and linoleum and tiles. There is probably a fair matter of dust that is walked in by my patients but this machine should be able to deal with that. It used to do a better job cleaning 2 years ago and it only gets used 2-3 times a week on average for maybe 10-15 minutes each time. The suction is getting worse. It doesn't matter if you clean the filters. This machine does NOT last the test of time. It is past the warranty date so I can't do anything about that. I just don't think it's made well. Perhaps being used in a less dusty environment may have suited the machine better?

The extension piece on the wand now gets stuck and is almost impossible to click into place after I finally manage to get it to extend. I am not 4ft tall and I don't want to bend terribly to vacuum! It even has some trouble unclipping at the head unit when I take it off to get into corners. And the back of the head struggles to glide into place on the side of the machine when you put it away now. It used to be absolutely fine to handle - but in just 2 years the ease of use has gone from good to bad.

It's very easy to unclip the dust catcher...but it makes a mess when you empty it. I really do prefer bags. It also overheats. And the cord is not long enough - and pops out of powerpoints at the slightest tug. I really am struggling to find anything good about this machine! Basically, it is NOT anywhere near silent. Noisy, in fact. I have to say, I think they lied about that one (not that I have a sound level meter to check...) but it's always been quite noisy. Now, 2 years on, it just feels like a hunk of junk.

I think a vacuum cleaner should last better than this. And I don't think it should have the word 'silent' anywhere in its name. The only way it's anywhere near vaguely 'quiet' is if you don't use the powerhead and you've got it on very low suction. And then it doesn't vacuum properly anyway! So really, there's no point to this machine. For the price, I've used far better and far quieter vacuum cleaners.

great performer , good value – reasonably quiet but with superb suction power especially for the price. latest one has a rewinding cord and cord is long enough to do several rooms. Highly recommended. Easy to clean as well. Cost just under $300 Bing Lee

Excellent Budget Tool for Carpets that have Pets – Good turbo brush picks up pet hair and dirt from all surfaces, relatively quiet to use, and easy to empty. Takes all of the hard work out of vacuuming your home Show details

Love this vacuum ! – This vacuum works great on both carpet & hardwood floors, which is surprising considering it operates at less than 1/3 the noise. You can literally have a conversation while using it ;-} Show details

No way!!!! – Got my vacuum delivered yesterday. Looks good.. in under 10 minutes, the turbo brush broke inside with a rattling noise!!!! Bollocks Electrolux.. the normal multi floor brush head is good.. just bloody disappointed that the turbo head came apart almost straight away..!!! Show details

Avoid - Disposal vacuum cleaner – Rarely used this vacuum cleaner and surprise suprise, after the 24 month warranty period it conveniently doesn't turn on. It's pretty noisy. Be prepared to throw it in the trash after warranty. Support claims there's probably too much dust in the filters and to drop it off at a service centre for repairs. Not buying anything electrolux in future Show details

Terrible Product. Don't buy ! – There isn't anything silent about this vacuum except in the name. Nozzle jumps like a frog when cleaning and broke exactly after warranty expired. Cant even replace nozzle as it is discontinued and I just have to throw the vacuum away. Worst ever vacuum. Show details

Powerful suction - but a bit on the noisy side – This is an amazing little vacuum cleaner with surprising suction power. I have hardwood floors and only ever use 1/2 of the suction power. It picks up all sorts of dust and has a HEP filter which gives me extra peace of mind as it filters the air while I vacuum. The best thing I've found is the easy to empty bin. Emptying the transparent dust collector bin of all the dust etc is very satisfying. Show details

Terrible - (And dont buy from Godfreys) – This machine only worked properly for the first few times. It seemed to clog easily - manually having to clean out each of the many cylinders each time. Then it stopped working. (It seemed to overheat like a hairdryer). Because of the pandemic, Godfreys wouldn't fix, exchange, refund. I had to buy a new machine and now I'm stuck. Save your money Show details

NOT silent. Sucks good, until it breaks down. Warranty is FAKE – I do not know why they call this silent, it's actually as loud as any other vacuum cleaner. It does suck well. However, motor breaks down at 10 months. Warranty claim was refused. Said it was due to poor maintenance of filters. They expect you to clear the filter after each use or else warranty is void. Basically, they could use this clause on anything. They could even refuse your claim if the motor breaks down on the very first use. Show details

Economical vacuum cleaner with minimal quality accessories – This Electrolux vacuum cleaner was ideal for our budget as a spare machine at home. The 3-1 in-one-tool I found wasn't as effective as individual tools. Poorly designed 3-1 accessory and difficult to use. Compatible replacement bags are hard to find at local suppliers. Had to buy from Electrolux website. The tube to vacuum is very thin plastic and… Read more

can kink when changing directions. The rear roller wheels are small so they won't roll easily over power cord. Hence you have to bend down and lift vacuum off cord when changing direction. Overall good suction. The retractable power cord mechanism could be more powerful preferably. Good length of power cord.

Worst product I have ever purchased! – Worst product I have ever purchased and Electrolux customer care was woeful! Good guys reused to replace it and made me call Electrolux myself to try and get resolution which was a waste of time too. They absolutely didn't care at all.... Be warned and don't buy Electrolux anything!

Good little vacuum – Use this little vacuum on carpets to collect pet hair. Does a fantastic job, and I love it's filter system. Only down side is that the canister fills too quick and the internal filters also need regular washing otherwise it stops working. Oh and the clips on the poles are plastic and easy to break. Show details

Excellent vacuum – We love our Electrolux cleaner - it has awesome controlled suction for different floor types (we have wood, carpet, tile and Lino surfaces), cleans our stubborn cat’s hair in no time with a turbo head, has a head that goes under our large couch and so on. Take note of the manual and clean all the filters (there are more than 1!) regularly to ensure it works properly. Show details

Best invest in a expensive vacuum – Had this vacuum for only a week & already it overheats and stops working for long periods. On top of that it doesn’t clean my carpet as good as my old one (German). Show details

Excellent Vacuum cleaner – For the price this is a very well performing vacuum. It is extra quiet and lifts dirt very well. We have used ours now for about 15 months and never had any issues with it. Very good all round vacuum. Show details

Impressive! – Bought this vacuum today and OMG! I had the house cleaned last week but still managed to get 3 bags full of pet hair off the carpeted area in the living room. Great suction even at minimum and needs no effort to push around. Other reviews have mentioned short cord, didnt find that an issue. Happy with it, lets hope it continues to please. Show details

So impressed with my vacuum! – I bought this as it was an affordable vacuum. I wasn't expecting it to be great, however the power in this vacuum has me so impressed. It's quiet enough that I can vacuum when the baby is asleep which is perfect. Filter is easy to clean, and it packs away well for storage. Show details

Awesome Product – We bought Electrolux Silent Performer Green Barrel Vacuum and we really like it. It does an amazing job because when we just moved in, after 2 days we used the vacuum to clean the place and we got a lot of dirt, which we thought we shouldn't have since we just moved in and for sure the place was cleaned properly. Show details

Very quiet – On hard floors works well. On carpets it’s good enough for what you need. Would possibly help having a motorised brush head. Have to turn the power to minimum for doing rugs. So quiet compared to others, you can even have a conversation whilst using. Show details

Love it it's awesome – This is the most powerful vacuum I've ever had, and am completely happy with it. Could not believe what it picked up. Easy to empty, easy to use, long cord etc. At such a reasonable price you can't go wrong. Show details

Cleans Well – This vacuum cleaner is very easy to use, durable and really does the job. It is very powerful, so if you've got so much dust at home and you really need to clean every day, this one's for you. However, it is quite noisy, bulky and heavy, so it is not really advisable for those who have two-floor houses. But overall, it does perform well and it's very easy to maintain.  Show details

Not too silent for price to pay – Not too silent for price to pay, this Vac was really good performer till the warranty went on, Literally one day after the warranty finished harvey norman did not want to respond us. First thing they told when we called was to ask us how we have cleaned machine, they asked us to bring machine to store , upon bringing the machine to store. Store… Read more

always found something wrong with how we have maintained the machine but never bothered to helps us professionally clean the machine. Machine is still the same noisy, low on the suction and unable to perform.

Impressed – I purchased this vacuum from The Good Guys and they were flexible on price and the sales person was across the aspects of the model. I have been impressed with its performance. I have only previously owned Dyson's and this vacuum is out performing the Dyson for suction and cleaning for the price. Highly recommend  Show details

Great vacuum minor issues – Owned for 10 months now. This vacuum is probably the best vacuum I have ever used or had. It has extreme carpet lifting suction. Only two gripes. The lead is short, you have to move room to room. If only it was even just one metre longer. The other issue is the rear(final filter), it is washable but the two layers of filter come apart after first… Read more

wash so will need to replace after maybe 6 months if you have messy kids and animals with finer dust. It does benefit from a good wipe out and all filter wash after maybe every third fill especially if a lot of finer dust in the place. Overall great vacuum though.
