Electrolux EL 6988D Oxygen Canister Vacuum user reviews:
By William G. Buyok (Los Angeles, CA United States)
Electrolux EL 6988D Oxygen Canister Vacuum arrived quickly, on-time and as described. Purchased the refurbished version from CPO. Great product at a great price. Liked Electrolux EL 6988D Oxygen Canister Vacuum so much I bough a second one for another home. Had a problem with the 2nd Oxygen: power head shorting out. CPO did not have a replacement to send; but, was helpful in referring me to Electrolux to get the warranty replacement. Electrolux's replacement power head was wrong and they quickly send another. Both still work great. A solid sign that both CPO and Electrolux stand behind their product and warranty and the hassle was worth the cost savings.

I have one of the other (not red in color) Electrolux canister vacuum that I thought was a good vacuum, but just wasn't doing that well now that there are two hairy dogs in the house.
I'm very happy with this Electrolux EL 6988D Oxygen Canister Vacuum . On bare floors, it draws light weight pet hair into the vacuum from areas around the power head (instead of blowing it away.) As other reviews indicated, on rugs or carpet, it is sort of lightly self-propelled. The handle with a large loop to it works well with this feature, making it easy to steer the power head. The brush and crevice tool have on board storage. I'm using the power head on bare floors as well as rugs.
Electrolux EL 6988D Oxygen Canister Vacuum is NOT hard to detach the power head/wand from the hose/cannister for storage. (It works like my old Electrolux, so I didn't need need the instructions, but these are very clear, and the pictures are helpful.) Please note: there are gray release buttons on the wand. The step-on pedal is to unlock the wand from the upright position to a free angled position. It doesn't detach anything. I'm afraid that the person who was stepping on this to knock down the vacuum used brute force to disassemble the thing, and it's no wonder the vacuum is in the shop.
There is more plastic and less metal on this Electrolux EL 6988D Oxygen Canister Vacuum than on the older (not red) Electrolux's. Its also a lot lighter weight, more compact, and easier to carry.
Cons: With the powerhead running, this is not a quiet vacuum. (Dogs will run and hide.) I think this may be the loudest vacuum I've ever had, but it works the best.
