DeepClean power head delivers superior cleaning performance
Tools stored in the handle and telescopic wand for easy above-floor cleaning
The Complete Clean
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.Getting the Best Results
Use ‘Brushroll off’ setting for wood, tile, or other hard-surface floors. Do not use ‘Brushroll On’ setting for hard surface floors, as the brush roll could damage delicate surfaces.Hard Floors: Use the bare floor brush. Use the power nozzle. (Brushroll Off)
Carpets: Use the power nozzle. (Brushroll On)
Crevices, corners, etc.: Use the crevice tool.
Curtains, lightweight fabrics, etc. : Use the dusting brush. Reduce suction power if necessary.
Frames, bookshelves, etc. : Use the dusting brush.
Upholstered furniture: Use the upholstery tool
Easy Cleaning Tips
The power nozzle is ideal for all types of carpeting because of the deep cleaning brushroll. Turn off brush roll when cleaning bare floors. After connecting the power nozzle to the wand and hose, turn on the canister and the brush roll for carpet cleaning. The cleaning height can be adjusted by pressing on the height adjustment pedal located on the rear of the hood. The height indicator will change from low to medium to high as you make the adjustment. Use the lowest setting that still allows easy maneuvering on the carpet. Release the handle by pressing down on the handle release button. Replace the bag and filter from time to time when the indicator is lit.Product Features
The bag change indicator is equipped with a light that notifies you when it is time to replace the bag. To avoid replacing bags even before they are full, empty the bag from time to time.
The easy to carry handle in addition to the automatic cord rewind feature, allows compact storage of this canister vacuum. The canister weighs only 13 pounds and can be transported easily using this handle.
HEPA filter system traps dirt, dust, and other household allergens. Replace the HEPA filter every 6 months and clean the filter from time to time for an enhanced cleaning experience.
With the automatic cord rewind feature, the time wasted to wrap the cord after vacuuming is completely eliminated. No need to bend or use your hands, just tap your foot on the automatic cord rewind button.
The DeepClean head is equipped with LED lights to clean even in areas that are hard to see. Cleaning under the couch cleaning and dark corners where dirt lingers, just became so much easier.

Research,

This review is from: Electrolux Oxygen Canister Vacuum Cleaner, EL6988E (Kitchen)
I was quite confused when I first started doing research on electorlux. My mother, and her mother, have always owned electrolux vacuums. This electrolux is not the same company that has been doing business in the U.S. under the electrolux name in the past. The old electrolux has changed their name to Aerus Electrolux. Electrolux is an international company that states on their website "Electrolux is the world's largest producer of appliances and equipment for kitchen, cleaning and outdoor use." In the United States they do business under the familiar names: Eureka, Frigidaire, Poulan, Weed Eater, and now thier upscale brand Electrolux. OK, on to the vacuum. I bought mine after much research at Lowe's. While opening and putting the thing together, a small clip that holds the power head on the shaft broke off. I called the company and they said they would send me a new piece with out much hassle, but then got a call back 15 minutes later saying that since the product was so new, it might take 2 months to send me a replacement part and suggested I just return it for a new one to Lowe's. My over all experience with thier customer support leads me to beleive that I won't have too many problems dealing with them in the future. My second vacuum unpacked fine and after a couple uses I'm quite satisfied with it's performance. The carpet powerhead does very well on my rugs, and even does ok on hard floors. The hard floor attachment is more than a foot wide and makes quick work of the hard wood in my house but is so wide you have to switch it for the corner tool to get around most furnature. I was impressed with the suction from the vacuum, even before I noticed that I only had it turned up half way :) So I'll try to sum up the pros and cons. Pro: Con: I'll post again in a few months when I see how it's holding up.

1.0 out of 5 stars
the handle melted!,
By Ann Reid (Red Hook, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Electrolux Oxygen Canister Vacuum Cleaner, EL6988E (Kitchen)
Well, I have to revise my review, which is listed below. I posted that review just after I bought the Oxygen in 2005. It worked fine for four years, so I guess I got my money's worth, if you think it's worth $100 a year. Then the plastic handle just melted -- I kept smelling a burning smell as I was vacuuming, and thought at first it was the engine, but then I saw the plastic was red-hot and literally melting near the handle, where the attachment plugs into the handle. I took it to an Electrolux store to get it fixed and they said (a) it's not really Electrolux, it's a Eureka, and (b) it would cost several hundred dollars to repair it. So I bought a really nice Panasonic canister vacuum from Amazon, the Panasonic MC-CG885, that seems to be working well so far (knock wood)... It has a metal hose, so at least that can't melt.
Here's my original review: My main complaint with other vacuum cleaners I've had (and I've had many -- Kenmores, Eurekas, Hoovers, you name it) is that they're heavy, and loud. The Oxygen is lightweight (it weighs a mere 13 pounds, as opposed to most other cleaners, which weigh at least 20 pounds) and very quiet. But it's very powerful, has great suction, and almost breaks away and cleans on its own when you turn on the carpet feature. It's very easy to switch between carpet and bare floor, since the control is on the handle. The only drawback: the bare-floor brush attachment doesn't attach very well -- it should snap on, but it doesn't, so it tends to come off sometimes. But that's nothing compared to all the wonderful things there are about this neat little vacuum cleaner. Definitely worth the extra money. By the way, I used to own an Electrolux, the real kind that's made in the USA, and although it was a good vacuum cleaner it weighed a ton and was difficult to lug around different rooms. I'd much rather have this lighter-weight Swedish model, esp. since it's half the price of the American Electrolux.

Really Nice Vacuum,
By bettyjen "bettyjen" (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Electrolux Oxygen Canister Vacuum Cleaner, EL6988E (Kitchen)
I bought this vaccum after developing allergies for the first time. My parents have had an elextrolux for the past 25 years and it has always worked great. Although Eureka is now making these electrolux vaccums I expect that in order to preserve the integrity of the name they will make every effort to make sure this product line is up to standard, and I think they have succeded in this regard.Contrary to the other reviews I took my vaccum home and was able to connect all of the pieces by myself without any problems. The bags are small, but so is the vaccum. If you want bigger bags chose an upright, but beware, the hepa filtration on those units is not as good. The filter and bags are easy to acess. The power head is very sturdy but has a little trouble standing on its own- it can do it, but will fall down with the slightest breeze. The vaccum is very quiet. To test the suction I first vaccumed with my old vaccum and then revaccumed with this one. I was very impressed. I could hear every piece of sand and crumb climbing up the hose- and there was a lot!!! It even has a light so you can vaccum in the dark, or in a dark corner. The head seems to move itself effortlessly across the room. If you are considering this machine, don't be afraid of the other reviews. I did not experience their woes.
