Electrolux's Reputation Continues As The Best Buy

Review Date: January 17, 2010

Reviewer: L. L. Dunbar, Houston

I also grew up with Electrolux and always wanted one as good and as dependable as that medal cannister that we used to drag around the house. It seemed as if I spend a lot of money on big, bulky, heavy vacuums that even with hepa filters and self propelling are just a lot to use. I have used a cleaning service for years now and do not own a vacuum cleaner anymore. Just a large commercial one for the large bird cages. In the spirit of the recession I thought I could do my own cleaning. What will I need? A vacuum cleaner.

I have stone floors and wood floors with oriental carpets and kilims - which are flat weave carpets. My house is also two stories with a flight of stairs about 20 feet up.

I also have a lot of birds and 2 puppies. So, I saw this vacuum. 14 lbs is easy to carry with that compact size and great handle. Going green makes me feel good, too. I used it today. Wow. The adjustible suction and noise control, light weight, adjustible heights and swivel everything - I could not believe how easy it was to use. It picked up everything and I could easily go off the carpet onto stone or wood just by pushing the suction adjustment with my finger.The edge of the carpets did not get picked up in the suction moving off to the floor and it did not grab the threads on the edges, either.

Under cabinets, beds, chairs, flat up against the side of the wall without scratching. Picked up bird seeds, hair, and a little dry puppy poo I missed on a carpet. The variable noise control is a great idea around little animals. My little pups tried to play with it.

Just perfect. Thanks.

Exceptional Quality

Reviewer: Roberto,

Purchased this vacuum cleaner about a month ago and use it almost daily. I already had 4 canister vacuum cleaners of different brands because I use one each for the upstairs, downstairs, basement and garage, and one needed to be retired. Our entire house (including finished full basement) has either solid wood or tile floors - with a lot of Persian rugs everywhere. I do not own a vacuum cleaner with a power brush head because I do not want to beat and scratch the wood floors. This Electrolux was designed to be used on solid floors and area rugs. It is very quiet, significant suction, lots of features and the build quality is outstanding. It was made in Hungary. It is far the best vacuum I now own and will be buying another one or two. The old vacuums will be given away.

Great for vintage floors!

I love this vacuum!
I have a large apartment with old wooden floors that get a lot of dust and pet hair stuck between the boards. It has enough suction to thoroughly clean them as well as my two low pile area rugs.
And it's SO QUIET, which is great when, like us, you live in a multi-unit building.
Probably not the best vacuum for a fully carpeted apartment because of it's lack of a rolling-bristle-brush; but I couldn't be happier!

Awesome

Reviewer: C. Wood, Colorado, USA

This vacuum is very nice. I've been wanting to get a canister vac for over a year. The lady I bought my native american-inspired rugs from suggested it was not good to use an upright with a vigorous brush. And the guy that installed my curtains and blinds said I need to vacuum them once a year. My cheap upright was not up to the task. It had gotten a best buy rating by consumer reports a few years back and worked well on carpets but was extremely noisy. So when I ran out of bags for the upright I finally did my shopping and bought this electrolux.

I was concerned about whether this vac would have enough suction. Consumer Reports recently reviewed a similar model and said it was deficient on suction. But in my opinion this one sucks mightily! I've hardly ever used those suction relief valves on the handles of vacuums. I use it all the time on this one, and sometimes turn the motor speed down too. It has a cool speed adjustment that makes it even quieter than its almost silent self.

Another little extra I like is the slot on the body where you can park the head. It's super-convenient to store. I can pull it out the closet and start vacuuming in almost one motion --- just pull the cord out and plug it in. Nothing to put together, don't have to go fishing in the closet for the end of the hose.

I was a little surprised that it didn't have a motorized brush head. For some reason I thought it had that. But after using it I'm glad it doesn't. That would just make it heavier, and the light weight of this unit is one of its joys. It does mean that it's not quite as effective at cleaning the wall-to-wall carpets in the bedrooms. The friction makes the head hard to push on the carpet, unless you turn the suction down, and then you're not getting quite as much cleaning. So I may break down and buy some more bags for my old upright.

One positive surprise was the reach of the cord. I can clean my entire 1600 sf home (except for the far end of the master bathroom) with the cord plugged into one outlet.

Finally one last surprise is that when you pick the unit up while it's running, it blasts warm air in your face. The exhaust blows straight up. But it's blowing it through a HEPA filter, so the exhaust is probably cleaner than all the rest of the air in your house-- not your typical yucky vac smell. I guess they designed it like that so the exhaust doesn't blow the dirt around on the floor like an ordinary vac. Probably a good idea.

I never spent this much on a vacuum before, but I don't think I'll regret it. This is sweet little unit.

Quiet but doesn't work on carpets.

Nice little vacuum. Sent mine back after one day. I have all wood floors and one area rug. Problem was that it doesn't do well even on my low-pile area rug. I only want one vacuum cleaner so I sent it back. I also felt the head of the vacuum was rather short which means more passes on your floor. For the price I think there are better options out there.
