Electrolux

Date of Review:  Dec 25, 2005
Review: The product is fine. however, watch for independent owner/dealer's aerus salespeople who are jacking up the prices because of the product's old and dependable name. i was foolish enough to pay $1200. these are independent dealers. and the one in...

Electrolux failed to fix; repeated burnt connections

Date of Review:  Nov 3, 2006
Review: 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...

BEST VACUUM EVER

Date of Review:  Nov 18, 2008
Review: 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...

Not your Mom's vacuum!

Date of Review:  Jan 20, 2007
Review: 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...

Frustrating Machine!!!

Date of Review:  Feb 15, 2005
Review: When it works.. it does a nice job. This machine likes to eat belts (which are difficult to find, so far I have had to order every one). I have been through four belts in less than four months. Owned a Sears model for almost 8 years and I don't...

Love this little vacuum - so far!

Date of Review:  Apr 5, 2009
Review: We recently built a new home and needed to buy a new canister vacuum. We have all tile or laminate floors and a few area rugs. We have always had Kenmore canisters, but were disappointed in what we saw at the store and read in reviews about the news...

DO NOT BUY ELECTROLUX!

Date of Review:  Sep 5, 2007
The Bottom Line: Never buy this brand or a Eureka either as I understand from another reviewer they are one in the same company now.
Review: 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...

Electrolux Oxygen Canister Vacuum

Date of Review:  May 6, 2004
The Bottom Line: I would tell a friend to purchase this vacuum. It is well designed, looks cool and cleans extremely well.
Review: 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...
