Amazon.com Product Description

A great choice for use on all floors–from bare wood and laminate to plush carpet, the Electrolux Oxygen3 Ultra canister vacuum features MicroSeal fresh air technology with sealed HEPA filtration, which captures 99.97 percent of all the dust, allergens and small particles it picks up. Easy to use, the Oxygen3 Ultra offers electronic fingertip controls built right into the handle so you won’t have to fumble with controls on the canister while still holding the hose. And you can simply press down the vacuum handle to instantly rewind the cord.

Electrolux’s optimum sensor system automatically monitors the cleaner’s performance to ensure peak efficiency, and it also monitors the floor type you’re on and adjusts the vacuum accordingly. The Oxygen3 Ultra uses a full-sized powerhead for more power on all type carpets and bare floors, and its 14-inch wide cleaning path helps cut down on cleaning time. It comes with a crevice tool, upholstery brush, dusting brush, and floor/wall brush, which store on the handle. Other features include a telescopic wand with 360 degree swivel and crush-resistant hose, over-molded wheels, furniture guard, and a Poly-V permanent belt design for low noise level. The unit measures 11 by 13 by 17 inches (WxHxD) and weighs approximately 27 pounds. It comes with an Oxygen3 canister bag (model EL203B) and a HEPA filter (model EL012A). It’s backed by a 2-year limited warranty.

*****LOVE IT*****

After having my last two vacuums die unceremonious deaths, I decided to do a little more research in buying a vacuum than usual. I checked consumer, and epinions for reports on the latest canister vacuums. I tried out my neighbors vacuums to see if they met my needs, and ultimately decided on the Electrolux Oxygen Ultra.

I am not sorry! This vacuum is fantastic. The bare floor attachment in larger than most making the task of vacuuming easier. However, it still manages to fit into all of my smaller areas (between toilet and tub). It is also more narrow than most I have tried. Because of this, I was able to vacuum in between my banister poles, leaving me one less job to do.

This attachment, along with the telescoping pole, did a terrific job getting under my couches, beds, and dressers, with the exception of one of my daughter’s rooms where there isn’t much clearance. Furthermore, I decided to give it a go on my blinds. It did a terrific job removing the dust from the 2 1/2 slats.

I then switched out for the motorized head and was very impressed with the power it had for carpeting. I actually found myself being pulled along by it. I used on my berber, and area rugs. It did a great job cleaning them both. Fantastically, the power head plugs right into the handle to make cleaning my stairs a breeze. It took a little getting used to, but I think it did a better job than my last vacuum with a special stairs attachment.

The canister itself is better than others I have worked with. It moved effortlessly. I did not find it was crashing into walls or getting caught up on furniture. It was extremely quiet as well. I found the cord length to be sufficient (I have quite a large house and didn’t have change outlets anymore often than with other vacuums) and the extra length on the hose made cleaning higher items easier.

I love the controls on the handle as well. The buttons controlling the power, type of vacuuming and on/off switch were easy to use.

I had no problems with changing out the heads. However, I have not been able to work the space saving storage option of hooking the head onto the canister body. This is not such an issue as I have the space to store it without utilizing this feature.

Bottom line: This is a great machine. I recommend spending the money, and getting a machine that will do a great job and last.

NICE VACUUM

EL7020A is the highest rated canister by Consumer Reports in 2006 – this is why I chose it. I had this vacuum for almost a month now, and I really like its performance. I like that the wand with the power brush fits under the bed where my upright did not fit. I like that this vacuum has HEPA filtration and I do not sneeze when vacuuming anymore.

The vacuum has powerful suction and nice features like “auto power-brush off when something gets stuck in it” and “auto suction reduction when something stops the airflow, so you can pull it out”. E.g., if a corner of a bathroom rug gets sucked in, the vacuum reduces suction power and you can pull the rug out, and the suction increases automatically.

The bags are very small (mine filled up with carpet fibers after vacuuming the house 2 times). I did not mind, all that means is that I don’t keep all that dirt inside my vacuum in my home and throw it away more often. Like one other user said, the “change bag” light did not come on when the bag filled up. I found that the bag was full thanks to my curiosity. I suspect that the “change bag” light performance depends on what the bag fills up with – if it fills up with carpet fibers, which still allow sufficient airflow, the light won’t come on.

Another interesting thing I found was that the box says “Model EL7020A”, but the bottom of the canister has a sticker that says “Model 7001″. I contacted Electrolux about the discrepancy, and, according to their Customer Service Rep, the model EL7020A is a combination of the 7001 canister and a power carpet brush (plus a bunch of other add-on tools).

I purchased one of these and have been using it for a little over a month. At this point I am totally thrilled with the product for the price. I have owned exectrolux products in the past that were more expensive and a hoover product for about the same price. To say the least I am back to electrolux. I love being able to go under furniture, and being able to disconnect head and use in tight or unusual spots with various attachments. We have a dog and this is a wonderful fur finder! The filtration systems are great for keeping dust and dirt where it belongs once it is sucked up. I’ll never stray from electrolux again.
