Good performer!

 

for this machine which is a hassle as I generally prefer bagless machines, but I buy replacement cardboard bags from Bunnings as it's cheaper than the genuine Nilfisk ones. Positives? Great suction - you can dial up the suction strength to suit the job...

Powerful machine

 

Bought my Nilfisk x150 on sale at Myer approx 5 years ago. As a Domestic Cleaner I needed a reliable vacuum that equaled my old Nilfisk King! The a Extreme's power/suction definitely did that and it's still doing 7 houses a week every week! The first...

Great motor. Cheap casing and handle that breaks easily.

 

The vacuum was expensive, but I wanted a good product. The motor is powerful with excellent suction. Replacement bags are costly, but very functional. However, the casing and handle are made of cheap plastic and poorly designed. Everything is breaking....

I purchased this product because my sister had a friend who had had one for years and still raved about how great it was. Mine is about 18 months, I do use it weekly, not daily; it shuts down for no apparent reason; leave it for a while and then starts...

great suction

 

I have 2 nilfisk vacums, one at home, the other at work, the models may not be still available as both are over 10 yrs old, but they match the shape in the picture. These machines have excellent suction and just keep on going and going. I like this...

Do not recommend

 

Purchased the Nilfisk - bought what appeared to be the top of the line. Lasted less than two years - constant problem with overheating and shutting down. Expensive to replace bags and filters. Eventually stopped working at 18 months. Never again...

Consumer review (productreview.com.au)

Expensive over designed sucker

 

After a couple of years the motor of my new Nilfisk started overheating and turning itself off. Despite having all its various and annoying filters replaced this gradually got worse. Then the hose handle fell apart - a common problem I believe and the...

Quiet and powereful while it lasted

Over designed and prone to failure
