Electrolux Z7310 Cyclone Ultra

I have this vacuum cleaner almost 3 years. It is the worst vac. cleaner what I ever had! We have standard size 3 bedroom house so in real is not too much to vacuuming. With this vacuum i spent minimum 40 minutes on a hoovering (only bedrooms and stairs) cause container is very small, what means I need empty it after every room because is full and all rubbish (even hairs) are sticked to filter and I cannot do nothing! That's not enough. Vacuum pipe is low profiled and work with this machine is very uncomfortable, I have to be strongly inclined when vacuuming although I have only 5,2 foot tall... NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL! IT'S RUBBISH!

The machine is utterly useless. The design is utterly flawed. The dust does not accumulate in the cyclone chamber but clogs the paper filter in a short space of time. Electrolux definately got it wrong. They should redesign and replace the existing machines. The machine looks great but does not work

In one word the electrolux cylone ultra is RUBBISH! What a complete waste of my money. I can suck harder myself! I thought I'd tolerate vacuuming if I got a nice new vac....now I dread it even more than I did before!!!

Take my advice and DO NOT waste your money on this useless machine! I wish I still had my old bagged morphy richards!

I would like to know how Electrolox have been allowed to get away with selling such a usless vacuum cleaner ie the Z7310 Cyclone ultra. My mother who is 84yrs spent good money on this machine only to find that as soon as she used it a coupe of times both filters became blocked rendering the machine usless.

Come on Electrollox admit you got it wrong this time.

This vacumm cleaner is a complete waste of time you will spend all your time removing fluff etc from the filter it doesn't seem to go into the container,.when I bought this I was on an economy drive but you know what they say ,you only get what you pay for a big mistake on my part

Provided that you keep the filter and container clean (under running water using a softish brush), this is a great and powerful performer. Having to wash components takes a little while to get used to - a vacuum cleaner that requires regular maintenance and cleaning may not be to everyone's liking. I found this an acceptable alternative to messy bags that spill its contents every time you want to change them.

The electrolux Cyclen Z7310 is the worst cleaner I have ever had! Upon its first use I was impressed. Suction was great, it was light and easy to move around. Then reality hit. Every time it is used it clogs up the filter and the dirt doesn't tip out easy, you have to get your hand in and pull it out. The filter needs shaking before every use or suction is zero, once it's been shaken suction increases to about 5% of its first use. The filter light is constantly on. I have long dark hair and cream carpets, needless to say this is such a poor excuse for a cleaner I remove more bits off the carpet with my hands. What a waste of money. I am definitely going back to a Dyson!

We bought this product 13months ago from John Lewis. During this time it has had little use despite this the filter system is pathetic ( a telephone message to the support team resulted in the advise to give it a shake to get rid of the dust!!) It wasn't a question of dust it was clogged up and couldn't be dismantled to give it a proper clean. The strength of suction is poor. It cost me almost £100 just over a year ago. I am still pining for good old Henry !!!!

On purchasing I would like to have been told if John Lewis had full confidence in this product ?

If there is a worse vacuum cleaner than this Electrolux Z7310 Cyclone Ultra I would be surprised. The filter needs cleaning after every use. It jams in every doorway as the wheels protrude from the side. It's center of gravity in at the back so overturnes easily. The main suction tube is metal so very heavy, carbon would be lighter and probably cheaper. Don't bother with the slider that gives Min-Max power, you always need max. The rear wheels only point forward so hard to pull sideways.

I've nearly thrown my Electrolux Z7310 Cyclone Ultra out the window everytime I use it. My 9 year old Panasonic cylinder with bags is far better and I end up using that to do the job properly. As others have said, suction is very poor! - if you have a wife with long hair forget using this! Mine clogs within minutes of use even though the dust container is 80% empty...I've never managed to fill the dust container more than this amount as the suction reduces to minimal amount well before it fills up. The motor whines very badly and the 'full' light indicates often when you've emptied the dust collector. Poor selection of tools, no nice dusting brush supplied. It's an amazingly poor machine, I am still seething at my bad purchase.... Hard to think of any good points, oh yes, the power leads winds back up nicely.

Once again, don't consider this machine unless you like to have a clumsy to use, poor suction, quickly needs emptying vacuum cleaner.
