Tools and Hardware Reviews of Electrolux EL 7020B Oxy3 Ultra Canister Vacuum
Customer Review: 18+ months of solid, quiet service
Summary: 5 Stars
Looking for a lighter weight alternative to an upright bagless model when we moved to a 3 story place, I bought the Oxy3. It has been fantastic - great on carpeting and hard floors, quiet and efficient, easy to maneuver. It's had to go in for service twice (both due to someone not detaching something correctly and shearing off one of the connector pins - slide the latch, that's what it's for!), but both times the repair was inexpensive and quick. The suction is great on this model.
I'm also much happier with a vacuum that uses bags - getting all the stuff out of the canister of the bagless model was always a mess, and unless I washed the canister out there was always so much dust left in there (not to mention how static-y the thing was). The bags are simple to change and contain the mess.
Customer Review: Electrolux el7020b
Summary: 5 Stars
Just received this vac in the mail today, and so far, I think it's GREAT! I have had such a rough time finding a good vac, and I think this might be it! I had just cleaned my house yesterday with my old vacuum. I got this one today, and just went over a couple of area rugs, and you should have seen how much it picked up. Of course time will tell. I had a hard time deciding which model to get, and I couldn't find alot of info. The 7020b has a power carpet head, a large bare floor brush, an upholstery attachment, dusting brush, and crevice tool. The on/off button seems sensitive, and I accidentally turned it off twice (it's on the handle), but I think I will get used to that and be more careful. It came with two bags (one already installed), and the filter was in it.Customer Review: Worth the Money
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought this vacuum was a little pricy but after using it several times I think it was well worth the money. It cleans beautifully, actually does go from floor to carpet easily and has a crevice tool right on the handle for easy access. I have hard floors with area rugs on the first floor and white carpeting on the second floor; I also have 2 long-haired cats. It does a great job on all surfaces and is pleasantly quiet. I've tried other vacuums including a Eureka Boss upright, which was too heavy to maneuver and was actually digging into my floors and carpets and a small stick vacuum which was fairly good on hard floors but incredibly noisy. Ordering from Amazon was quick and easy and delivery was made within a few days. This vac was just what I was looking for!Customer Review: It meets all of my expectations!
Summary: 5 Stars
The vacuum this replaced was an Electrolux that we purchased new in 1952. Even though the Electrolux brand has been passed along, this machine seems to be rock solid and well built like the old one. It runs circles around it, which is still running in good order except that it needs a hose that we can't find and bags that are no longer standard and available. The new one is easier to use and lighter. The power head does a good job lifting dirt from our carpets and is easy to use. An added plus is the hepa filter, but we didn't notice much dust escaping the old one ether. I highly recommend this machine. We don't often see quality in appliances in this throw-away generation, but this machine sticks to the old values...and it's price is right!Customer Review: Nice vacuum with electrical problem
Summary: 4 Stars
Had a 30 year old Electrolux canister vac and loved it. It finally wore out so I purchased the Electrolux brand again. Love all the new features and it all works well except for the electrical connection when using the brush roll feature to vacuum carpets. When the hose is extended completely, the brush roll stops, when it's loosened, it runs again. My husband and I determined that the 3 prongs on the hose that attach to the canister become disconnected enough when the hose is taught to stop the flow of electricity to the brush roll. Hope this is an easy fix. We purchased the vac about a month ago and this problem was evident from day one. Electrolux is a good company and we hope they'll fix this minor problem or replace the vacuum.
