Tools and Hardware Reviews of Electrolux EL6984A Harmony Ultra Quiet Canister Vacuum
Customer Review: Good vacuum with some flaws
Summary: 3 Stars
I've been using this vacuum for about a year and overall I am happy with it. It is quiet, easy to manuver and has good suction. The cons are that some of the parts are poorly designed and are made of cheap material. Namely, the hose attachments. For the life of me I cannot get the brush attachment to stay on the end of the hose securely. It always falls off as I'm using it. Furthermore, the little flippers on the side of the brush which can be opened up to create another attachment are a cute idea but they add extra weight and bulk to the entire attachment making it more difficult to use and more apt to fall off from the hose because of its weight. The giant plastic attachment holder which can be snapped onto the hose so that you can conveniently carry all the attachments with you as you vaccum, is also bulky and heavy, making it impossible to move the wand around with ease. It also tends to swing around or fall off as you are vacuuming. It's not worth using at all. It's also made of very cheap plastic. The biggest problem I've had is that the button you press to release the end of the hose from the wand doesn't work no matter how hard I press. I've had to stick a knife in there and use leverage to get the notch inside to lift enough to pull the two hoses apart. It's very annoying when you want to quickly switch to an attachment while vacuuming. Lately I've figured out that if I press the hose down into the wand as I press the button, then twist I can get them apart. But it takes a lot of strength and sometimes it doesn't work.
Customer Review: Great Little Vacuum
Summary: 4 Stars
We have mostly hardwood floors, but some reasonable carpet upstairs - the best thing about this vacuum is how quiet it is - I used to have to do the vacuuming when our 2 year old was out of the house but now she doesn't care about the noise. She even wants to "help". For power its perfect... cleans well, is small, light and very maneuverable.. I would highly recommend this one... we have had windtunnels, other uprights, and other canisters that didn't perform well.. this one (so far) is perfect.Customer Review: Great Seller, Satisfied with purchase

The transaction was as smooth as can be.
My only comment on the vaccum would be that it is a stratch to sell this machine as a quiet one,
just because it's not, but it works great.
Customer Review: Great Vacuum
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this vacuum about one month ago after doing pretty extensive research on which vacuum cleaner would be best for us.
My observations so far:
: Excellent on wood floors; it really cleans!
: Good rating on rugs
: Excellent suction & quiet operation
: Ease of use: came with three attachments that are ALL I need to do a good job cleaning. The attachments stay in place and are handy when needed.
: Filter: I purchased washable Hepa Filter but a non-washable filter DID COME with the vacuum
: Bags: although really small, they last. We have two dogs and a cat and bags hold up for longer than anticipated.
I am not able to voice opinion in regards to performance on carpets, we don't have carpeting.
My experience with the vacuum so far has been great. Shipping and customer service from Amazon was excellent. Overall, quite pleased. Thank you.
Customer Review: Great Vacuum for bare floors with shedding pets
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a small home mostly laminate floors and a few area rugs with two extreme shedders, one cat and one dog, and this vacuum picks up everything! My floors haven't ever felt so clean after sweeping. It's super quiet, lightweight enough for me and I'm seven months pregnant, has a telescoping handle so it's at a comfortable height, and gets under furniture easily and up next to my baseboards like a dream.
Did I mention how quiet this thing is? No need to raise up the volume on my music while cleaning and I could probably hold a phone conversation easily too!
It's incredibly easy to switch from bare floors to carpet, there are two switches on the cleaning head that you just press with your foot. Another great feature is the suction control up near the handle so if you get something stuck, corner of a rug, you just release the suction no need to turn of the vacuum.
It also has attachments, a turbo brush, which I used on my bedroom carpet and it was eh, I prefer the normal brush, plus there is no where to store the turbo head on the vacuum. A crevice tool which works well but is really narrow so it's for super tight spots and an upholstery brush which rocks, I was able to clean my couch and my curtains with it with no problem I just adjusted the suction.
My only complaint, besides not loving the turbo brush, is that there isn't an on/off switch in the handle, it's on the body of the machine, so if you want to turn it off to move something you have to do so at the canister.
Overall I've been using this vacuum for three weeks and it's been perfect. I couldn't recommend it enough.
