Tools and Hardware Reviews of Electrolux EL 7020B Oxy3 Ultra Canister Vacuum
Customer Review: Cleaning Machine!!
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been using this machine for a while now and could not be more pleased with its performance. It runs quiet and has a lot of suction. After doing some extensive research on vacuums I decided on this unit. While there were some complaints about reliability, I went ahead and got a refurbished unit. Not only did I save some money, I figured that a repair of a failed componant and a second inspection would be benificial towards a more reliable machine. The vaccum looked like it had hardly been used with one little scratch on it.
The only thing that prevented me from giving it 5 stars was the fact that the power head is about as loud as the last upright I had and not as quiet as the canister. But the power head does clean remarkably well. We have 2 dogs and it gets the dog hair very well. The bags are small but that is just as well since all that nasty dirt does not sit in the vacuum too long. The bags are cheap and changing them is an easy task that takes just seconds.
I would recommend this vacuum to friends and family...it truly is a great cleaning machine!
Customer Review: Disappointed With Carpet Performance
Summary: 2 Stars
We have owned the vacuum for a few months now. We liked the positive reviews on allergen control and low noise performance of this model. If you're looking for a unit for light use, especially for use on floors the rating would be higher than given here; but we really needed a vacuum that could handle carpets. This unit is not at all acceptable for use on carpets. The head does not adjust to carpets well and it takes a lot of work to vacuum carpet. The power head is rather small too, which means it takes longer to cover a larger area. I really wish that others had provided this information when we were shopping, in hindsight we paid a lot of money for a vacuum which performs so poorly on carpets. Our recommendation to anyone who is considering this model is to go see one in person and try it out on the types of surfaces you will be cleaning.Customer Review: Disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
The canister is lightweight, quite powerful and reasonably quiet. BUT the power nozzle is heavy, noisy and turns in only one direction. The power nozzle also is self-propelled and takes the person vacuuming on a speed race around the carpet.
The floor brush is wide and makes for quick cleaning of wide expanses of floor. BUT, it is so wide as to be awkward getting into corners and around furniture.
The telescoping wand is convenient. Storage of two of the tools on the handle is not; the tools keep falling off.
The power cord is short.
The hose is too flexible; it kinks easily.
I would prefer to have the on/off button on the handle of the cleaner not the cannister.
I have had this not even a week, and already I am disappointed in both the design and the materials used in construction.
Added three days after the intial review:
The crevice brush is not long enough to reach in many common crevices, such as those in a car or under a refrigerator.
The prongs of the plug had to be separated a bit so the plug does not fall out of the wall socket.
Customer Review: EL 7020 Oxy 3 Canister Vacuum
Summary: 5 Stars
Purchased this through Amazon about a month ago. Researched vacuums online and in local stores before making the purchase to replace a very noisy 10 year old Hoover upright. I had owned Electrolux vacuums previously and my family had owned Electrolux vacuums as well...a generational thing.
Love the suction, portabilty and quietness. It's so easy to carry. Cleaning is a charm in tight spaces, under beds and other low furniture.
What's not so great: pricy bags. I'd like all the attachment on board in one place.
Initial operation took some getting used to ... but then, don't all new appliances have a learning curve?
Customer Review: EL7020A review
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought based on Consumer Reports reviews. Have only had for a month, but works great, is well designed, and unlike what I expected from CU review, it is not noisy to me (possibly because of the comparison to our older Panasonic).
At least after a month, highly recommended.
