Electrolux EL 6988D Oxygen Canister Vacuum

I am a house cleaner and one of the houses that I clean for has this vacuum. I find that I am having problems with the rug attachment releasing and the prongs bending. The owners had to get new parts and now I think they are starting to wear again. This is a new vac and I am very careful with this equiptment. I would never purchase this vacuum!! I think it is terrible. Definately not made like they used to be. I use alot of different types of vacuums and this is not made well at all!!!! The cleaning power is great so much that it feels like the rug attachment is going to snap off, very powerful!!!!

Not that I've owned a lot of vacuums, but this is the best I've ever owned. It is quiet, but powerful, and has lots of great features.

This vacuum is wonderful. Great suction, easy to maneuver, nice design. Useful & easy to change attachments. We purchased it because of its number 2 ranking by Consumer Reports and all the good reviews on Amazon. More expensive than what we were planning to spend, but well worth it. Highly recommended.

I did not realize that there is no on board storage for the attachments which would have been helpful. It does clean well and is very light and easy to carry.

Great suction, i was shocked how the bag was very full of carpet lint after two carpet cleanings. Quiet when not using motorized head. I do wish hose was a little longer, perhaps a foot or so.
