Tools and Hardware Reviews of Electrolux EL5020A Intensity Upright Vacuum Cleaner
Customer Review: Greta Vacuum
Summary: 5 Stars
Very good vacuum, had sold Electrolux vacuums when I was in college. Has great suction and does a great job as well as it is easy to store.
Only con would be a little heavy for some people.
Customer Review: Has a bad handle design or poor quality parts.
Summary: 1 Stars
I've had this vacuum for 18 months and the handle broke after normal use.
It is not usable with a broken handle, so we put it in the shop and it is going to cost $83. to repair. Couldn't find receipt, so we have to pay for repairs ourselves. They had to order a new part, which probably won't last long either. Bad design or poor quality of parts in handle.
Customer Review: I won't buy another one
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this in July of '09, as a replacement for another that I had tried. I should have stuck with my first instinct & went to Sears, Best Buy or Target to check vacuums out hands on.
What's good about it: It's powerful. It gets carpets as well as bare floors clean. It has an automatic winder for the cord. The handle folds down, so it's compact when it gets put away.
What's bad about it: a 15' cord limits the range it will go without looking for another outlet, weight for an item so small, bags that are 1/5 the size of normal and aren't secured.
I'll be buying another vacuum because the bag came off while it was being used & all the dirt & dog hair got into the motor & burned it out.
I would not recommend this item.
Customer Review: Impressive Vacuum Cleaner
Summary: 4 Stars
I just received my Intersity Vacuum cleaner today and after the first use I am very impressed with its performance My carpets and rugs look so much better than when I had used my older vacuum. It is so light and easy to manuever and so far is doing an excellent job.Customer Review: Love/Hate relationship
Summary: 3 Stars
First the hate:
Yes, what everyone else comments about on this vacuum really is true. The cord is too short. The profile is to high to get under beds. The bag is small. The wheels are stiff, and if you try to loosen them, they fall off.
But now the love:
Even with all those SERIOUS deficiencies, this vacuum really works. I have mostly hardwood floors with a few area rugs, and every time I use it (about 1x a month) I am astounded at how good the suction is and how well it picks up my kids stuff embedded in the rugs.
I use a swiffer or the Shark SV800 2 in 1 cordless vac for the floors for more frequent pick up, and also have a cannister back pack for floors/corners/upholstery, but this is my go-to tool for rugs.
I bought it about 6 months ago, and while vacuuming today, I thought I'd check back in and offer a review.
