Excellent light, quiet sucker!,
We finally made the plunge and converted from carpet to hardwood floors. So naturally we needed new equipment for cleaning floors. Growing up, my parents always had Electrolux vacuum cleaners, the cylindrical (heavy!) bag types, and they seemed to work forever! We went looking around to all the dept stores and home improvement places, read some reviews (on Amazon) and decided that this model would be very nice. We didn’t actually try it out at the stores, but checked the features, build quality and sturdiness.
All seemed good, and we ordered one on Amazon.
As is usually the case, the items arrived quickly and in very good shape.
Having run this unit through its paces several times now, I can say that it lives up to our expectations and needs extremely well!
It is light (a very big plus for my spouse), maneuverable and QUIET…..The slider control for the motor speed (and therefore suction level)is very convenient and smooth. We like the bag approach as well as the HEPA filter. Some people may feel the bag is a hassle to have to replace – Having had to empty out the old upright bagless canister, I can safely say that the bag is MUCH better. You don’t have to deal with the dust, smell and stuff in the canister!
The self winding cord is also very smooth and sufficiently long to give good range for vacuuming.
It has the usual complement of attachments to get in small out of the way places and to vacuum furniture. The tube can be adjusted to any length which is nice.
I’m not sure what some of the other reviewers are trying to pick up but for hardwood or tiles floors and even (low pile rugs)this little “egg” works just fine and efficiently picks up dust, hair, pet dander, etc….
Bottom line: I recommend this vacuum cleaner.

|Electrolux’s Reputation Continues As The Best Buy,
I also grew up with Electrolux and always wanted one as good and as dependable as that medal cannister that we used to drag around the house. It seemed as if I spend a lot of money on big, bulky, heavy vacuums that even with hepa filters and self propelling are just a lot to use. I have used a cleaning service for years now and do not own a vacuum cleaner anymore. Just a large commercial one for the large bird cages. In the spirit of the recession I thought I could do my own cleaning. What will I need? A vacuum cleaner.
I have stone floors and wood floors with oriental carpets and kilims – which are flat weave carpets. My house is also two stories with a flight of stairs about 20 feet up.
I also have a lot of birds and 2 puppies. So, I saw this vacuum. 14 lbs is easy to carry with that compact size and great handle. Going green makes me feel good, too. I used it today. Wow. The adjustible suction and noise control, light weight, adjustible heights and swivel everything – I could not believe how easy it was to use. It picked up everything and I could easily go off the carpet onto stone or wood just by pushing the suction adjustment with my finger.The edge of the carpets did not get picked up in the suction moving off to the floor and it did not grab the threads on the edges, either.
Under cabinets, beds, chairs, flat up against the side of the wall without scratching. Picked up bird seeds, hair, and a little dry puppy poo I missed on a carpet. The variable noise control is a great idea around little animals. My little pups tried to play with it.
Just perfect. Thanks.
