The Electrolux Vitesse Vacuum Cleaner is not fit for purpose

Advantages: It is light
Disadvantages: It does not work properly

...Having read some previous reviews, I am amazed: some of these people appear to live on a different planet....almost as if they were intent on promoting the product. Some of them appear also to wish to write a flowery essay...at length. I will be brief. A vacuum cleaner should basically do one thing: clean one's carpets and floors repeatedly, consistently and without the need for constant maintenance. This cleaner does not do this. It cleans for one or two uses and then fails to do so. I note that one reviewer apparently likes to clean the filter every time he/she uses the vacuum, in order to maximise its efficiency. This person even believes in washing the filter every time, too. Amazing...I wish I had your patience and perseverance, not to mention time, Sir or Madam. After a few months of tolerating this machines constant...

Review of Electrolux Vitesse

  ▲Easy cleaning with Electrolux▲

Advantages: Fantastic suction & Product features
Disadvantages: Noisy

...My 10 year old bagged upright vacuum cleaner was not performing quite as well as it should, so we decided it was time to look at purchasing a new one. With so many to choose from I started to look round at what was available. The Dyson cleaners have appealed to me but I have not been overjoyed by the price of them. We had already decided to opt for a bagless cleaner as investigations have shown that these tend to be more powerful than the traditional bagged type models. I spotted an Electrolux model I rather liked whilst browsing in John Lewis, it did everything I wanted but I wasn't too impressed with the £149.00 price tag, I did however spot an Electrolux brochure which contained details of all their vacuum cleaners ( apart from any prices that is), which I took home to peruse at my leisure. ▲Spoilt For Choice▲...

Review of Electrolux Z3042

AEG Electrolux Fridge

Advantages: Looks good, full of room, big doors, big shelves, easy to clean
Disadvantages: None

...I moved into my new house about a year and a half ago and as it came unfurnished needed to buy a fridge pretty quickly. Being half American I had always loved the big American Fridges that hold enough food for a family for about a year with a water filter on the front and an ice machine so I had this in mind when I went to Currys. However as I found out these fridges are also quite wide and the space I had to put my fridge in was quite small which is when I came across the AEG Electrolux fridge/freezer. IT was £650 at Currys which I didn't think was too bad. The first thing that attracted me to this fridge was the look and design. It's a free standing, chrome fridge so it's not plastic looking like some fridges. The outside is very easy to clean as it is just wipe clean. It has two section, the fridge portion and the freezer...

Review of AEG-Electrolux S 75358 KG3

Electrolux Vitesse

Advantages: Inexpensive, bag free, excellent suction
Disadvantages: Self-assembly (from Argos), feels cheap

...We needed an inexpensive bag free upright following the demise of old faithful. The Electrolux Vitesse looked appealing in the Argos catalogue and the manufacturer was a name we recognised. The box containing the machine looked a little too short as it arrived on the counter. As you know you don?t get to see your purchase in Argos until you?ve bought it. When we got home and opened up you can imagine our complete surprise to find our new household friend was self-assembly. I don?t remember seeing this in any of the blurb but then I wasn?t looking. I had to marvel at the precision moulded plastic which fitted together with amazing ease, unless it was my expertise which I doubt. Anyway I was quite proud that this was the first vacuum cleaner I had built. My wife, ever anxious to get ?hoovering? roared off around the house following...

Review of Electrolux Vitesse

Damn good Hoover . . .

Advantages: Light, efficient etc
Disadvantages: None

...Right, those members remembering Hoover Juniors, will know they are a bog standard little vaccuum, correct so far. What has changed is the design, gone is the functional practical austere look, this is the new Doctor Who of cleaners. This is the new improved "Hoover with attitude" It looks modern, stylish even, and I dare say designers have been briefed to give it a sort of "In your face image". While I have absolutely nothing against the idea of a household appliance being trendy, or even cool, I just think that we should keep out feet on the ground. "It is only a vaccuum cleaner" nothing more, nothing less. Weight is only 3.8 Kgs, very light for this type of appliance. Availability is good, you will find them everywhere. As for the price, do not pay more than £35, this seems an enormous amount of money to me, but...

Review of Hoover ST 327

A decent hoover at a decent price.

Advantages: Cheap and effective , great customer service
Disadvantages: Requires frequent bin emptying .

...Having had terrible problems with my Dyson DC02 ( 3 motors , various plastics , 2 cord rewinds and more - all while under guarantee ) and still not happy with it , I decided to buy a cheap replacement , thus relegating the Dyson to spare . I bought this hoover just over six months ago as it was on offer at £39.95 at our local Co-op department store . It is I believe available over the interent and at Argos , expect to pay on average £59.95 for one. Okay , so onto the hoover ( soory Vacumn cleaner - Hoover is a brand name ) itself : Features: ********** • Cyclonic type cylinder . • 1600 watts • Suction control ( but only via air intake slider on my handle ) • 1.5 Litre bagless 8.7 Kg dust bin • HEPA Filter • Good selection of tools - but no storage for them on the cleaner ! • Filter...

Review of Electrolux Z7108

Electrolux Mondo 5106

Advantages: It is quite light and because of its small size it doesn't take up too much space. It also doesn't cost too much either
Disadvantages: Dust bags are quite small

...A vacuum cleaner is one of life's necessesities but one of the things I begrudge spending a fortune on (like a Dyson!) We had previously had the little micro vacuum cleaners and as we lived in a flat with no animals it did the job. They had an average lifespan of about 18 mths but given that they only cost about £30 we could live with this. Fast forward a few weeks and we have moved into a house and our poor little Morphy Richards Jazz gave up the ghost. We have inherited a cat and now we need a cleaner with a bit more oomph to it. I looked on the Internet for various reviews and as I was only prepared to spend up to £70 and only wanted a cylinder vacuum cleaner there was not a huge range to choose from. The Electrolux has had a mixed review but on the whole it doesn't seem too bad. In my price range there were three that...

Review of Electrolux Mondo

Electrolux Sucks - In A Good Way

Advantages: Reliable and has good features
Disadvantages: The so called Long lasting synthetic bag is not long lasting

...I have just had a quick hoover round my house, Whilst I was doing it I thought to myself this is a great little vacuum cleaner, So here I am now to heap praise upon my reliable little product. The Vacuum Cleaner I have is the Electrolux Z4431. It is quite funky looking as vacuum cleaners go, It is silver and small and compact. Its easy to store away in the cupboard and looks very neat and tidy. Now on to the features that make the Electrolux Z4431 such a great little vacuum cleaner: Variable Power - This is a great feature as there is a dial where you can adjust the suction power of the vacuum cleaner, This is really handy as for things such as laminate flooring you can set it to low suction as it is easy for the vacuum cleaner to clean this kind of surface. However say you have a really thick carpet or rug and need a really...

Review of Electrolux Z 4431 Silver

Expect a BANG! With this Hoover!

Advantages: Sucks okay when empty
Disadvantages: Rubbish, Noisey, Cheap platic, Wheels Pop off, Burns, Blows up. Smells Loads more!!!

...Hi everyone and welcome to this review. I just want to warn you all about this absolutely useless piece of rubbish and hopefully save you money. I wish I could give this vacuum 0 stars so much! But unfortunately I have to give it 1:( I bought this two weeks ago from my local electrical store, I thought I had got a bargain for the 50 pounds I had spent and I always try to buy the Hoover brand and thought this was a good deal. Unpacking ********* The box looked very professional and I really thought I had bought a great cleaner. The box was black and had a very classy looking picture of the Great"" vacuum I had just purchased. Along the side of the box was all of the Hoover?s features that I will explain later on. Once home I was excited, I don't know why! But I always get excited when I buy a new product. Gosh! I am...

Review of Hoover U 3525

Electrolux velocity 200w Z3042

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Really rubbish

...I would not recomend this hoover , i have had mine 4 months and its the worst hoover i have ever had. The noise level is the loudest ive ever heard, after five minutes your ears are ringing and your head is banging, the filter has to be washed after every use or it wont pick up. the attachments for the hard floor is an extra long hose as well as the tubes so it wont pick up because it isnt powerful enough to take it all that way back to the hoover. the turbo brush is supposed to be fixed to the front of the hoover for storage, but after a couple ov uses it just falls off every time you use the hoover. what a load of rubbish....
