Electrolux ZB 412 Rapido Cyclonic

Advantages: powerful, lightweight
Disadvantages: tends to topple over

...Having recently given away our old vacuum cleaner to a friend in need we were on the look out for a replacement. On doing a bit of research it seemed that a Dyson was favourite but somewhat expensive. A good alternative seemed to be the Electorlux Cyclone which I was told was probably the best for animal owners, it was also considerably cheaper than a Dyson and appeared to use similar "bagless" technology. We bought the Electrolux and have not regretted our decision, the suction power is very impressive, a frightening amount of dust and dog hair is sucked up every day.The only criticisms I have is that the machine has a tendency to topple over when using the accessories and the extension is not long enough to reach up a flight of stairs although I believe an extension is available as an additional extra. All in all we are very satisfied.... Read review

Advantages: Good Powerful Vacuum
Disadvantages: Has a tendancy to break

...This is a good solid and affordable vacuum cleaner. It has just as good sucking power as the Dyson and is about ten pounds cheaper. The storage space for dirt and dust is sufficient. The Cyclone is light and easy to manoeuvre around your home. It picks up sweet wrappers to tiny dust mites. There are however a few problems with this machine. It has a tendency to break. I had this vacuum cleaner for about four months and then it broke. Not a serious malfunction, just a small leverage problem. But never-the-less a problem that meant that the vacuum cleaner was not fit for use. It may have just been my vacuum cleaner that was the problem but my instincts lead me to deduce that it was not just me. All in all I would advise you against buying this vacuum cleaner....

Advantages: Attractive, effective, reliable
Disadvantages: Cleaning

...Today, the vacuum cleaner is an essential part of the home appliances portfolio. While our relative relied on beating dust from carpets and sweeping, we live in a world of magical suction that can remove even the most resistant particles. No one enjoys cleaning. It is one of those chores that are required yet it is never savoured. We all like a nice clean house. We all want a nice clean house so it’s therefore an idea to make this as painless and effective as possible. Painless in the procedure and on the pocket. This is where the Electrolux Cyclone becomes a sensible choice when buying a new Vacuum. Electrolux is well known in the world of Vacuums but it is only one avenue of a wide range of products that it builds. As well as the excellent range of cleaners it produces, it also has an extensive and varied range of refrigerators... Read review
