Electrolux Ultraflex
Origin (ZUF4301OR), Animal Allergy (ZUF4203PET), Animal Allergy Pro (ZUF4205AF), etc...Great vacuum for pet hair
I bought this vacuum in 2015 as have a shedding dog. It is excellent at picking up dog hair on all surfaces - tiles, carpets and rugs and was surprising how much hair came out of the shag rug the first time esp as it had already had been vacuumed with our old machine. It’s easy to manoeuvre esp on hard floors and is easy to empty. I’ve had no trouble with it turning off as some reviewers have had. Cleaning of filters is easy but they can take time to air dry. It’s now 6years old and suction is as strong as ever.
Purchased in October 2015.

The best vacuum cleaner I've ever had
I've had my ultraflex for just over 3 years now and its brilliant. It's got a great suction, lightweight, relatively quiet and the filters are easy to clean. The cord us a decent length too. I cant recommend it enough

Brilliant vac
Best Vac even picks up dog fur weaved into fabrics/carpet, every fine bit of dust, do need to wash the front sponge filter every month or so, dont mind doing that because i know how thorough this machine works, after 3 years, only now needing to replace the rear filter, kits are easily available to replace filters at a cost of 28$. The filter covers, side vac hoses, front filter fully washable, with pets that keeps it smelling good, variable speed suction 1-5 is great, easy light maneuver, extra long cord gr8, even easy to use to clean car with the small attachment that clips on hose.. packs neatly with hose fitting into clip, all up fantastic purchase.

Excellent suction
I purchased this vacuum cleaner 3.5 years ago from Harvey Norman. I paid $279 on sale (price matched).
I use it almost daily (minimum 5 times per week) to vacuum the living area, hallway and 3 large bedrooms which are all carpet. Some days it’s used more than once.
In that time it’s never lost suction. I am so impressed with the amount of dust it gathers every time I use it. I regularly bash out the big filter, but as yet have never needed to replace any of the filters.
The only fault I’ve had in that time is the plastic piece that slots the ...

Solid vacuum with powerful suction
We have had this vacuum for about 4 years and only had minor issues with it so in all honesty very happy with it.
Currently, I vacuum roughly half my house of carpet and the other half is vinyl plank (plus a small tiled section in the laundry....as long as the floor is entirely dry!!!).
I also vac the couch as we like letting our super sweet, yet VERY fluffy border collie inside and he seems to leave fur everywhere!...nothing the electrolux cant handle.
About 6 months ago we ran into our first little issue with the vacuum as some of the plasti...

Disgusting customer service!
Purchased this vacuum back in 2017, works great if you don’t mind cleaning filters every couple of weeks, also has very small dust bin.
My problem is the handle has broken at least once a year since I purchased it, it is definitely a design fault. No problems with getting this replaced while vacuum was under warranty but since warranty ran out on the vacuum they have been extremely difficult even though the part it’s self is still under 12 month replacement warranty.
The handle broke again , I phoned Electrolux on the 17 June 2020 and let them...

It doesn’t do the job
It just isn’t powerful enough. No matter how much I clean it (which is a lot because grit quickly clogs it up), it is super frustrating to use because of how weak it is. Not only that but it cuts out suddenly for no apparent reason and won’t start again for an hour or so - seems like an overheating issue, but can happen even when the weather is cold and it hasn’t been used much. I paid quite a bit of money because I wanted to finally have a decent vacuum cleaner, but this turned out to be yet another lemon. Just got a Miele C3 and I’m finally happy with a vacuum cleaner. This one? I’ve come to hate it.

Great Product. Easy to Use.
Great product as it is very powerful. Works and does the job. Quite pricey but it is an electrolux product so usually priced about this amount. Have owned products from this brand before and it usually lasts long.
Purchased in December 2019 at Harvey Norman for $300.00.
Where are the spare parts?
Works well when it works is temperamental clogging quite easily , fiddly to clean.Its impossible to find replacement filters when they perish. The Electrolux site does not even list this model

Excellent vacuum cleaner. Powerful and sturdy. A bit heavy but can handle tough situations. Easy to clean and large wheels making the movements easier. Handle is strong and accessories suits for all needs including vehicle cleaning.

Great, powerful vacuum cleaner
We used this vacuum cleaner to vacuum
carpet and tiles each week. The suction power is so strong that the carpet often lifts when vacuumed. One downside is
the cumbersome weight that needs to be carried around as the machine does not have smooth-manoeuvring wheels.

Great product and great power
I have an Electrolux vacuum, it is one of the best i have used so far. It is way better than other budget vacuums. It's quite easy to use and move around , and long cord helps to clean large areas without being removed the cable.

Good value
Great vacuum cleaner, does an excellent job on cat hair, although you need to clean the filters regularly. Broke the handle after almost 2 years and they cheerfully replaced it, remarkably being delivered the day after I reported it. Could not be happier.

Rubbish Toy
This machine failed within 3 weeks. Very sad considering this was a great Australian company once. Supposedly anyway. I won’t be buying Electrolux goods ever again. They were good with the refund though.

Great suction!
Our Electrolux Ultraflex vacuum cleaner has performed extremely well after a couple years of ownership. We purchased this as a replacement for a Dyson DC54. The sales representative seemed impartial and suggested we go for the Electrolux for better performance & price in lieu of Dyson. After a few uses, it was very clear that the suction of the Electrolux was better than the old Dyson.
After regular use, i can say that the electrolux is very maneuverable and practical to use. We have multiple floor surfaces in our house (tile, timber and ...

Bring back the old version of the rectangle cube Electrolux Vacuum Cleaner!
This model can be used on any floor surfaces from the old and new, to any type of hard floorings of the tiles,and floor boards to even getting to the hard to reach places like vacuuming to get rid of spider cob webs in the ceilings, Thanks to the long hose and extendable metal pole I love!
It has a great strong sucking horse power motor as it is bagless,
But I DO NOT recommend to buy it, if your house is old that collects a lot of dust as the motor tends to pause as it overheats due to the fast collection of dust.
The negative part of the vac...

Great Vacuum Cleaner, turbo head removes all pet hair
This cleaner is ideal on hard floors and the turbo head is perfect for the carpets, has great suction when the filters are not blocked.
the cord is quite long, so you can use it within a 30mtr radius, it's light to carry around easy clean canister and the filters are cost efficient. The only down turn is the turbo head is a bit hard to get the hair out, just needs to be an adjustable brush remover. Had this cleaner for over 4 years and love it. I have a Golden Retriever and a Cat so there is a lot of fur loss and this cleaner does it's job perfectly

Hi, I'm wondering how often I need to change the filter for my UltraFlex. Do i need to purchase a new starter kit every so often? Or is regular cleaning sufficient. Cheers

Regular washing and cleaning of all the filters should be enough, especially the filter at the front. I replaced the HEPA filter after 2 years.
Be careful washing the hepa filter. They are very delicate so check out how to do it online first before diving in like I did. Also remember which order they came out in
The dust filter is much easier to clean with some dishwashing soap and clean running water. I left mine 3 years between cleaning and I definitely dont recommend that. I would suggest every 3-6 months would be a better idea
