Tools and Hardware Reviews of Electrolux EL 7020B Oxy3 Ultra Canister Vacuum
Customer Review: 18+ months of solid, quiet service
Summary: 5 Stars
Looking for a lighter weight alternative to an upright bagless model when we moved to a 3 story place, I bought the Oxy3. It has been fantastic - great on carpeting and hard floors, quiet and efficient, easy to maneuver. It's had to go in for service twice (both due to someone not detaching something correctly and shearing off one of the connector pins - slide the latch, that's what it's for!), but both times the repair was inexpensive and quick. The suction is great on this model.
I'm also much happier with a vacuum that uses bags - getting all the stuff out of the canister of the bagless model was always a mess, and unless I washed the canister out there was always so much dust left in there (not to mention how static-y the thing was). The bags are simple to change and contain the mess.
Customer Review: A quiet little sucker

I did my fair share of research about vacuums after a consumer reports suggested vacuum crapped out after a year. I decided on this Electrolux 7020. I have no complaints at all. The vacuum works wonderful! It is very versitile! It picks up bare floors and carpeting with no problem. I like the On/Off switch on the handle, plus all the controls on the handle. I think I will stay with a canister vacuum from here on out. I've had it for a year and it's been awesome. The bags are more expensive and smaller but they do support hepa filtering. Very clean! Also, I guess there was an update to this model that's why they call it the 7020B. I guess they improved on some issues with the first generation model which was 7020A.Customer Review: Almost Perfect

The Electrolux Oxy 3 provides the quality we've come to expect from Electrolux; it's smartly designed, easily maneuverable, and attractive. It's quiet--until you fire up the power brush, which is plain scary! The power brush is designed well to slide under chairs and tables--but that same maneuverability is a hindrance when running across straight floors and carpets. Anybody know how to change the filter bag and close the lid? The instruction book doesn't help a lot!Customer Review: BUYER BEWARE!

I learned something very interesting just a couple of weeks after purchasing this vacuum when the canister latch failed: it is NOT a genuine Electrolux. I found this out when I called my local Electrolux dealer about fixing the latch. If you want a genuine Electrolux machine make sure it has the circled "R" after the name, indicating it was made by ABS Electrolux of Sweden. It is my understanding that such machines cannot be purchased online. The name "Electrolux" is now used by Eureka and the machine you see here is a Eureka. When my local Electrolux dealer told me they don't service this machine, they recommended a shop that did. That second shop told me they could do the warranty work on this machine, but added, "we'll be seeing you a lot." Fortunately, this all occurred within the 30 day return period and I have since returned this machine to Amazon.
