Electrolux EL 6988D Oxygen Canister Vacuum Product Description

Sleek Swedish made Oxygen canister vacuums have won rave reviews from international design groups and allergists alike. Their brilliant color and modern design have captured almost as much attention as their allergy-trapping performance. A True HEPA sealed filtration system filters 99.97% of allergens as small as 0.3 microns. It has electronic speed control, a super silent motor and a very ergonomic design.

Exceptional performance, modern design, and brilliant color combine in this simple-to-use canister vacuum cleaner. The unit's power head offers a separate motor to drive thorough carpet cleaning, which can be witnessed through the clear window, and a low profile for easy access under nearly any kind of furniture. Quickly switch between carpets and hard floors by controlling the brush roll using fingertip controls--no need to bend and stoop to get the perfect kind of clean. Also, suction power control on the handle helps with specialty above-the-floor cleaning such as drapery and furniture. On-board tools for above-the-floor cleaning consist of an upholstery brush, a dusting brush, a crevice tool, and a caddy. In addition, the vacuum provides the freshest, cleanest house possible with its long-life HEPA H12 filtration system, which makes the air coming out even cleaner than the air going in. Its superior filtration system captures 99.97-percent of dust and allergens as small as 0.3 microns. Plus, it uses the new auto-close system of the Electrolux s-bag, which prevents dust from escaping when changing the 2-quart-capacity bag. Every part of the vacuum, in fact, comes tightly sealed so no dirty air can escape. Other highlights include electronic speed control, a super silent motor, an electronic "full" dust-bag indicator, and an ergonomic design. Even more, with a durable brush roll and long-life belt, there's minimal maintenance over the life of the cleaner. The 1400-watt canister vacuum cleaner measures 9-1/2 by 12 by 18 inches and carries a two-year warranty.

Oxygen will give you the freshest, cleanest house possible right down to the air you breathe with a sealed HEPA H12 filtration system to make the air coming out even cleaner than the air coming in. The Oxygen's superior filtration system captures 99.5% of dust and allergens. And the Oxygen uses the new auto-close system of the Electrolux s-bag, which prevents dust from escaping when you change the bag. The Oxygen changes between carpet, bare floor and above the floor cleaning effortlessly.

And a durable brush roll and long-life belt mean minimal maintenance over the life of the cleaner. With the Oxygen, there is no need to bend over to get the perfect kind of clean.

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 also researched this Electrolux EL 6988D Oxygen Canister Vacuum before buying, looking for a vacuum that would be good for pet hair on both hardwood floors and area rugs. This one was rated best, and was less expensive than some others not so well rated.

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.

This is the third vacuum we've bought in the last 4 years, and we finally found a winner! With 4 dogs, constant teenager traffic in and out and a combination of hardwood and tile floors and carpeted areas, this Electrolux EL 6988D Oxygen Canister Vacuum excels at everything. It has tremendous suction, it's lightweight and has attachments for every need. You can't go wrong with this vacuum.

By Pumpkin (Redondo Beach, CA) - See all my reviews
I've had my Hoover Canister Vacuum S3765 for only a month, but I love it! I had an old upright and a Kenmore canister, but this Hoover Canister Vacuum S3765 is so much more powerful, light and a joy to vacuum with. I did a lot of research and believe this is a great value compared to the dyson and other vacuums.

By LW "carousel55" (Maine, ME) - See all my reviews
This is the first time I ordered a Hoover Canister Vacuum S3765 online but I am very please with it. It is a canister style which you cannot find in the stores anymore and also bag less, it has great suction and so easy to pull behind you. It is very light to lift for going up and down stairs and has a telescopic handle I am very pleased with my purchase. Also I went thru Amazon.com and it was also free shipping so a double bonus.....

I'll keep it short:
No more bags. I have only had to buy a replacement filter once since buying it over 2 years ago. We did a side by side comparison of another upright vacuum, and this pulled more dirt and more pet hair out of the carpet than the other one. Not by a little bit, but by a huge amount. I vacuumed the house before sending the other vacuum back. Then immediately vacuumed the house again: it looked as though I never vacuumed it with the other vacuum; the lint bucket was full. I hope this lasts 15 more years, because I never want to use another vacuum. Oh, I did have to go out and buy a bristle brush attachment.
