Electrolux EL 6988D Oxygen Canister Vacuum Review

Light and powerful canister vacuum cleaner

The biggest problem I have with some of the other vacuum cleaners I have owned which includes quite a few from Eureka, Kenmore, Hoover, and more is that they are heavy and loud. The Electrolux EL 6988D Oxygen on the other hand is quite lightweight and doesn't wake our little one when she is sleeping. It is, however, quite powerful (much more so than we expected). It has very good suction and really pulls stuff up and out of your carpets when you need it. It's also quite easy to switch the Oxygen between the bare floor and carpet setting as the control is right there on the handle. This is helpful if you have a lot of bare or hardwood floors in addition to rugs like we do. One problem I found with the bare floor attachment is that it doesn't attach very well. It should have some sort of snap holding it on but it doesn't. I find that it will come off once in a while during vacuuming. It really isn't a big deal but something I felt compelled to point out.

So far this little canister is working great. It's very easy to carry around the house and works wonders on both the floors and the furniture. It is nice having a do it all vacuum cleaner that can really clean a variety of things around the house. This is something we are not used to but definitely enjoy it.

Overall this is a great vacuum. I really like the Electrolux Oxygen for just about anything we need to clean up around our home. Our family members are impressed and we have even convinced our daughter to buy one for her new apartment. These vacuums really scream innovation and futuristic design. I actually look forward to vacuuming every week. I can only give it 4 stars though because of the problem with the bare floor attachment, but I would definitely buy another one of these if I needed.
