Electrolux Oxygen Canister Vacuum

byguitarguy42 May 6, 2004
19 Helpfuls 20 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 6 Comments
Pros Powerful, cleans deeply. Beautiful finish and color. Well-made.
Cons Exhaust air sometimes blows into your face.
Recommended it? Yes

We recently moved, and left behind a central vacuum system. The new house doesn't have one, so my wife began talking about retro-fitting a central vacuum system. She missed the powerful cleaning and filtering (waste air goes outside) of a central vacuum system.

We ended up trying an... Read full review »

Electrolux failed to fix; repeated burnt connections

bypflan Nov 3, 2006
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
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 »

Our first, and last Electrolux

byrealpro Dec 31, 2009
10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Small, not too noisy
Cons Unreliable, below par performance, terrible customer service.
Recommended it? No

Bought after web research -- and glowing reviews elsewhere. Very disappointed. It does not preform as well as expected -- it had multiple failures: (1) power head belt broke. Took 2 months to get the part, and it was not free. (2) meltdown due to an electrical short (in the handle top part, by the... Read full review »

Electrolux=double life canisters

bybatanen94 Dec 26, 2008
10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Excellent suction, bags hold anything, literally whisper quiet, can have a second life.
Cons Poorly made extension wands, some supplies are expensive. $450-$500.
Recommended it? Yes

When our Dirt Devil Swivel Glide decided to try and run without its handle, we said,"That is it! Forget this, we are going to Lowe's!!!" at Lowe's we were getting tired of buying cheap pieces of plastic that only lasted anywhere from 3 weeks to 10 months.

We looked around for all of about 5... Read full review »

Don't buy an Electrolux Canister Vacuum Cleaner

byicydog Jul 5, 2007
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 »

Don't be fooled this is Not the same Quality or Durability as the Aerus Electrolux

byauntmarylou May 9, 2008
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 3 Comments
Pros AERUS salesman took it as trade-in and gave $300 off towards our new LUX Guardian.
Cons It was an expensive lesson to learn, Aerus LLC is still making the LUX products.
Recommended it? No

My Mom also owned the same Electrolux canister for 22 years before she replaced it. My sister is still using that vacuum. My dad tells me it was 12 years old before it needed some minor work done to it.

However, this Red Electrolux we bought at Lowe's is horrible. Like most the other... Read full review »

DO NOT BUY ELECTROLUX!

bysmrtgal Sep 5, 2007
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
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 »

Electrolux Oxygen is made by Eureka, not Electrolux. Do NOT buy this!!! (UPDATED)

8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 5 Comments
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 nice looking.
Cons unreliable
Recommended it? No

The Electrolux Oxygen EL6988A canister vacuum is NOT the genuine Electrolux vacuum Mom had for decades. This product of Eureka which purchased the Electrolux name and then renamed itself Electrolux Home Care Products North America is not well built. The model I purchased failed within weeks,...

Pros power and size
Cons bag life, cord length

I do not know why everybody else has such a problem with this vacuum, it is the very best vacuum my family has ever used (we say this after using the original (Aerus) Electrolux vacuums for OVER 50 YEARS!!) This thing can pick up anything you throw at it. After using it DAILY for almost a year with... Read full review »
