Oxygen Canister (JUNK)

byphlying1 Jan 19, 2008
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Can't think of one.
Cons I was a sucker and purchased this piece of crap.
Recommended it? No

Same problem as all the others. The connectors are fried and this prevents getting power to the head. This vacuum was $500 plus and didn't live for much longer than 2 years. Do not purchase an Electrolux because it appears it is not the same thing it used to be. I too think someone should start a... Read full review »

Pros Works ok when operating
Cons Breaks down frequently. Connectors burn out causing a concern of a fire hazard.
Recommended it? No

This vacuum cleaner purchased Jan 2006 has been broken more than it has been operating. When it is operating it works well, however the connectors burn out, disabling the cleaner.
The product is so unreliable that the warranty center that I use will no longer service the product. He in fact... Read full review »

Pros lightweight
Cons workmanship
Recommended it? No

Flimsy accessory caddy broke soon after purchase. Electrical connection inside wand broke (metal piece simply shirred off) I called and ordered another wand but while I was waiting for that piece to come in, the powerhead just stopped working. Tried the reset button but no luck. I expected much... Read full review »

DO NOT BUY ELECTROLUX!

Pros Nice styling. Snappy red color and sleek body design.
Cons Extremely cheap materials and shoddy engineering!
Recommended it? No

I bought this vac when they first hit the market because of my allergies to dust. I paid over $500 for it at a Sears store. My mother had had an Electrolux canister vac since her wedding day which we used while growing up. The thing had sled feet--caster wheels apparently had not been invented at... Read full review »

same problem.. almost started a fire

bynpceditor Sep 4, 2007
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros none
Cons fire hazard, replacement parts expensive, not worth the money.

My vacuum burned out two wands plus the flex hose. One time the connections were smoking also. The vacuum was out of warantee and I replaced the broken parts which appeared to have slightly different designs when I got them. Also the factory drive belt in the power head is woefully inadequate. It... Read full review »

10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros It's lightweight
Cons It doesn't do what it is suppose to do--It can't Clean carpets.
Recommended it? No

We purchased an Electrolux EL6988A at Costco since we had our last Electrolux for 20 years and it only quit a year ago. When we used the vacuum cleaner it did not clean the rugs so we returned it, figuring we had purchased a lemon. So we bought another one at Sam's and figured we were in like... Read full review »

Recommended it? No

I had this for 3 month before dies on me from the wand connector and beater motor. Took it to authorized repair dealer. Been waiting since then for four month on parts to be shipped. (Call it backorder, bolloni)
They just know how to collect $500.00 from consumer, but when it gets to service,... Read full review »

The Electrolux Oxygen EL6988A canister vacuum is NOT the genuine Electrolux vacuum Mom had for decades.

Pros The rug attachment works well until the power through the handle and hose fails.
Cons Very poor suction with the regular floor attachment on.
Recommended it? No

I'll bet you'll find mention about this product on SCAM.com.

This is NOT the reliable product your mom used. Everything about it sucks except how well it sucks.

It's made by Eureka.

The bags are small so they must be replaced much more often than the real Electrolux... Read full review »

Pros Has excellent suction and good accessories.
Cons Defective electrical design is a fire hazard. Electrolux refused to fix .
Recommended it? No

Bought because Electrolux was equivalent with "quality" for decades. Twice during warranty period the wands burnt out at connections, producing smoke, during use. The wands were replaced by Electrolux customer service but there was no suggestion to examine the cannister for electrical problems. It... Read full review »
