Electrolux Unirapido ZB2802 - Stripdown and Refurb

This came from Freecycle back in late summer (before August as I still had the ZX).
A very pretty in pink Electrolux Unirapido battery stick vac, with instruction book! However, my excitement was short lived, as I discovered it didn't have the brushroll fitted
So it got lobbed in the shed for a fair few months, until I bought my current car and paid serial Dysonist George a visit, who happened to have scrapped an Electrolux Ergorapido not long before, and had kept me the brushroll (and bolt for the handle, which was also missing), so the day was saved, and one day when doing a load of washing I popped the filter in the machine
Then, one day at the beginning of October, I took a picture of the ratings plate
and got it apart!
Bin off (I cant call it a Cyclone, it's too crap for that!)
The bin insert pulls out
Lots of smeg in here
and on here
and to think this came from a nice posh house in Henley on Thames! tut tut (4 months in the shed may not have helped admittedly)

I washed this part of the filter up manually so it wasn't damaged in the machine
The handle of the main machine splits by removing the bolt that sits here
Like so
Then, on the top half of the handle, remove the screws
and split it
The wires are held in with a cable clamp
The switch is screwed down
and lifts out with those removed
The switch slide button is held in by this plastic part that clamps it to the main handle, removed with a screw

To continue, we need to move to the base of the machine
The brushroll is removed
The little wheels pop out
Then, undo all the screws and split the housing. The little door thing that holds the brushroll in will fall out
The plastic rod that pops the brushroll release door open lifts out, along with its spring
Then, the head can be seperated from the machine, along with the brushroll motor
Which is a dinky little thing
The internal hose is released by popping the tabs out of the main machine
It's suitably filthy

The metal bar and plastic end bits that hold the head to the machine pulls off the machine
A screw holds the cover bit to the pivoting part
Now, to proceed, we need to move back on up, to the bin release button, which pops out
leaving 2 chunky springs behind. Next, remove ALL the screws, and the casing should split, but be careful as there are wires attached to the 2 halves.
These two screws need to be removed
Which releases the PCB
Next, we need to pass the brushroll motor through the.... ah
Remove the small screws
Pull it all apart

And the motor now fits through the hole! Almost as if they made it that way
If you
are really bored
want to, the brushroll cogs split down further
The bin release is a complicated affair of levers
These two get pulled up when the button is pushed
The main bar pops out of 2 tabs
Now, back to electronics

Well, ish. Another cable clamp on the lower part of the handle to remove
Then, 2 annoyingly angled screws underneath the motor
Removes the motor side cover
You can see the screw holes here. The sound deadening/diffuser on either side isn't too filthy
Here we go
Lift the motor up carefully and you will see another little board screwed to the housing
With that little board removed the whole lot lifts up and out, but not away yet
The two metal tabs are the charging contacts, the 2 wires run down to the brushroll

I was too lazy to break out the soldering iron, as EVERYTHING IS SOLDERED TOGETHER
, it was a right arse. So snip snip
The fancase seal pops off the motor
as does the fancase
That's as far as it goes though, as it's all crimped together!
No idea what this ceramic thing is though, a resistor? thermal cut out? added weight to make it feel heavier?
This is the battery pack, probably upgradeable with 3000mAh chinese cells should one be bothered to
Finally, the machine is empty!

Time for a pretty picture
All of the wiring bar the brushroll motor was still intact, it all works well when turned on even like this!
So, charging base first
Electronics fitted
Cover back on and all clipped together
The motor is all ready to go
But first thing to go back is the brushroll motor, it's chopped wires fed through their little hole (hence the need to chop the wires), then fed around the rubber seal at the base and pushed into place, where it popped out at the littlest movement
The main wiring lump is dropped in, the cut cables crimped together and fed through

With considerable fiddling, the motor surround pops back on under the motor, and screws in, then the front part of the chassis clips and screws on
Bar fitted, as well as the sliding blocks
Cover, springs and button fitted
Getting there!
Brushroll motor cogs put together
and fitted to the motor
Pivot and vanity cover fitted, with the wire run
Brushroll holding bar fitted
Hose clipped in to place

This all gets popped into the lid of the brushroll housing
Which gets the brushroll release rod fitted, cover screwed down then the brushroll fitted
Little wheels popped on
Back to the top, handle all wired up and put back together
Bin insert fitted
and DONE! Quite a simple machine once all the electrics are forgotten about!
It worked very well tbh. Battery lasted 20 minutes, it picked up OK and most importantly, sold for £30 very quickly!
End

That looks like a neatish vac for quick jobs/hard floors! I prefer the looks of your Shark tho
£30 for that is good! The motor housing looks like a right jungle

It's not a bad thing, for the price it costs it would do the job, the lady who bought it had it as a glorified brush I think, which it's ideal for

We sell a Morphy Richards machine @ £99 that is more than identical in many respects.

It looks nicer than the Electrolux, that's for sure!
I got given a Bissel MagicBroom yesterday that was being thrown out, now that is a sad excuse for a stick vac, will do a thread on that when I get round to it!
