Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Electrolux EL 7020B Oxy3 Ultra Canister Vacuum
Customer Review: Beware
Summary: 1 Stars
Purchased vacuum new in March of this year - suddenly stopped working. Took it to an authorized repair shop 5 weeks ago. I was shown an entire room full of the vacuums that were waiting to be exchanged - seems the repair rate on these vacuums is high and because of the technology, the vacuums are usually replaced instead of being repaired - or so I am told. At any rate, it is 5 weeks later and I still do not have a vacuum. Customer Review: Not very impressed
Summary: 3 Stars
I have found that this vacuum is a bit heavy and cumbersome. I've had it less than a year and the power cord no longer works. Also, I find that when I have the sweeper "on" while vacuuming the hardwood floors, it seems to just spit dirt around rather than pick it up. I just don't think it's that powerful. I'm disappointed and shopping around for something more lightweight, quieter and thorough.Customer Review: Pricey but excellent machine
Summary: 5 Stars
We use this vacuum in a 4 story rowhouse in the city; mostly wood floors and tight spaces. Does great on the wood with just the long brush attachment, don't even need the power head. But does great on dog fur in carpeted areas as well, with the loud, effective powerhead. Not good for a bigger suburban McMansion. A bit heavy, but easily maneuvered on the floor. No dust emission, variable suction and relatively quiet operation make this $400 machine worth the money.Customer Review: Good
Summary: 4 Stars
I was very impressed with how this vacuum cleaned my wood floors and rug. However the swivel head can make it difficult to clean where you want it to. Also when we removed the power head to use the other attachments there is a piece that breaks easily. When we brought it to the repair shop to be fixed they had 4 other Electrolux's there with the same problem. Poor design on the manufacturers part. However as I said before, I was impressed on how it cleaned. Customer Review: Disappointed With Carpet Performance
Summary: 2 Stars
We have owned the vacuum for a few months now. We liked the positive reviews on allergen control and low noise performance of this model. If you're looking for a unit for light use, especially for use on floors the rating would be higher than given here; but we really needed a vacuum that could handle carpets. This unit is not at all acceptable for use on carpets. The head does not adjust to carpets well and it takes a lot of work to vacuum carpet. The power head is rather small too, which means it takes longer to cover a larger area. I really wish that others had provided this information when we were shopping, in hindsight we paid a lot of money for a vacuum which performs so poorly on carpets. Our recommendation to anyone who is considering this model is to go see one in person and try it out on the types of surfaces you will be cleaning.
