Tools and Hardware Reviews of Electrolux Oxygen Canister Vacuum Cleaner, EL6988E
Customer Review: Electrolux has regressed with technology.
Summary: 1 Stars
We purchased this vacuum cleaner and were greatly disappointed for the price of $500.00. The bags are very small and fill up fast, and also cost $7.00 for 5 bags. It is extremely difficult to snap and unsnap the connections of this vacuum. Took several people to hold it to unassemble when we returned the item. The power nozzle shorted out several times on me , I think it may have to do with the fact that it is so difficult to snap and unsnap the utensils on this vacuum.
I have owned an electrolux for over 30 years, it has been a name brand in our home for over 70 years - I will not buy another electrolux vacuum - I will repair my trusty older model or switch brands.
Customer Review: Exceeds Expectations
Summary: 5 Stars
What a surprise!
Our carpet seller had recommended the Oxygen for our berber. We had purchased an expensive upright (Sebo) last year. This canister does just as good of a job cleaning the carpet. It is lightweight, easy to manuever and does a great job on carpeted stairs. We would buy it again.
Customer Review: Get Bags!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fabulous vacuum cleaner! It really picks up the dust and dirt but be aware that it only comes with 1 bag...at least the refurbished one I bought did. The bags are fairly small and if your house is dusty or you haven't vacuumed with a vac of this caliber in a while, the bag will fill up fast. I only got my bedroom and the hall vacuumed before the bag was full and there were no more. The refurbished vac arrived the day after I ordered...lightening fast...but the bags were days behind and I got antsy waiting for them to arrive!Customer Review: Good Performance, Until It Breaks
Summary: 2 Stars
I did a lot of research before buying this vacuum a couple of years ago. I really liked it, though it does shoot stuff out of the back on hard floors, as someone wrote in a previous comment.
In the past two weeks, the vacuum and it's accessories have broken. First, it was an extra attachment we bought separately (from Electrolux/Eureka) that is a power stair attachment. It was great. Then, the roller in it stopped spinning. It's not an attachment we used every day--maybe once per month. So, it wasn't broken due to overuse.
About a week later, the roller in the vacuum stopped spinning. The vacuum still has suction. I can't figure out if it's an electrical or mechanical problem. I just can't believe that it broke considering how much money it cost! We don't have pets or any major messes, so I haven't put any undue stress on the vacuum!
Customer Review: Good for carpets, not for hardwood
Summary: 2 Stars
After the Electrolux vacuum that was handed down from me from my mother finally crapped out, I decided to buy another Electrolux because the last one lasted 20 years. I didn't realize at the time that the oxygen is made by a totally different company. Well, I am fairly disappointed in this vacuum and I guess $400 doesn't get you much these days. While the power head is fine on carpet, it is too bulky and clumsy for hardwood floors, which is 80% of my house surfaces. When I switch to the hardwood attachment, it "pressure-fits" on, which means there is nothing to lock it into place. EVERY SINGLE TIME I AM CLEANING HARDWOODS, the hardwood attachment will fall off and I will have to crawl under a bed, or a dresser, or the TV stand to retrieve it. When I first got the vacuum, I thought I might be missing a piece that would connect the handle to the attachment....this vacuum just doesn't make sense!!
