Anyone got an electrolux vacuum cleaner? Any good?

[SlightlyMadSweet]

I can't find a review online for the one I am looking at here

Will take any comments at all on electrolux as a brand for vacuums.

hiya, we have the pert lover one ans its utter S*E lol,i had a vax bagless for 5 yrs with no problems at all,but u managed to blow it up!
i fell in loved with the electrolux one,which seemed great when we first used it,then the next time it didnt work properly,we have to empty it after hoovering the living roon (which isnt huge),sometimes we can hoover twice before emptying it but not always!
really dissappointed,i wish we'd bought a newer vax model.

oh my god I have the pet one..it really is the naughtiest hoover i have ever had. It is only a year or so old and bits are always flying off it and it gets blocked really easily. It also damaged my carpet which Electrolux said was my fault but all I did was use the damn thing. I will be reaplacing it as soon as I can!!!

yupwidgy we are the same, i fell in love with it as it was white and looked so pretty lmao,lol,
but practicality wise its useless,the turdo brush has never worked,the hose falls apart the hose pops out of the brushbar bit,OMG,lol

I have an Electrolux Powerlite (not bagless though). I'm really pleased with it,much better than the Panasonic it replaced. I went to a local independent shop to buy it (too much choice & I wanted proper advice ). The shop also does repairs and the man told me he only stocked products that he didn't get many of for repair.

sazm that brush thing drives me mad!!!!!!!!!!.it has always done that and now it has a new trick ..the hepa thing just flies off when I am hoovering..literally just flies off!!!!!!!!!!

I thought it was just my hoover and me and dh joke that it is posessed as it has a mind if its own.

When using the hose I have to tilt the hoover backewards cause I used it like my old hoover (i.e standing alone and using the hose) and it burnt my carpets!!!!!!!!!!!!bastard thing!!!!!!!!!!!1

lol,the first time i used the brush thingy i thought it was great,but after a few minutes it stopped working and hasnt worked since.
my carpet is black and shows everything so i need a good hoover that picks up well,which it does when its just emptied,but after hoovering it once i have to empty it and scrub the filter to make it pick up properly again.SO annoying
