Summary: Outstanding performance for a small canister
Comment: Light weight and quiet with superb suction, this vacuum really can be used without disturbing anyone else in the house, so the name "Harmony" is a perfect description and marriage saver! I can keep my home as clean as I want it without my husband having to crank up the volume on the T.V. or whatever. No whine to drive you crazy while using it, just pure performance. Most of our floors are hardwood, but it easily converts to clean rugs & carpets well. I also love the aunto-retraction of the cord for quick storage! With the fine clay dust we have around here, the disposable filters are a preference for us. Altho the color is not our favorite, I give it 5 stars overall for performance and ease of use.

Summary: WOW WOW WOW
Comment: OK, in the interest of disclosure, I must tell all of you that "I am not normal". I have a vacuum fetish. (I also have relatively little carpeting).

Perhaps not a fetish exactly; more like an obsession. At one point in my life, I owned 12 (seriously: Roomba, Royal hand vac, uprights, cordless, Dyson (blech)...). It was part of my seemingly never-ending search for the vacuum of my dreams - the type of vacuum that would fill my cleaning days with thoughts of clouds, world peace and newborn kittens.

The Electrolux Harmony provides none of that, of course, but what it does provide is the best vacuum "experience" I've ever had.

When you remove the product from the box, you are struck with the attractiveness of the unit. Yes, it is a good-looking piece of machinery. I removed each piece, picked up the "Quick Start Guide" and had the whole thing assembled in 3 minutes, tops. Now for the acid test.

I plugged it in, pressed the button and SERIOUSLY? This vacuum is incredibly quiet. My previous favorite sounded like a jet plane on take-off, this one sounds like a 1976 Cadillac cruising on a glass-smooth freeway. Honestly, it really is amazingly quiet. The gentle sound of the air moving into the nozzle overwhelms the sound of the motor - and that is just fine by me. Even my cat didn't run! It's rather soothing, actually.

Cleaning performance and handling are first rate. Excellent edge suction and wonderful maneuverability. The canister glides on its wheels. And, the cord extends with you - none of that pulling the cord out before you vacuum stuff. Just plug it in and start vacuuming...you don't have to fight with the Harmony, just lead it like a willing dance partner.

If this were a perfect world, and money were no object, I guess my only "wish" would be for an old school woven-fabric over coil hose. I just don't like the feel of plastic hoses, even though they weigh nothing, relatively. Also, I would have liked a slightly more robust horsehair brush. Maybe Electrolux could offer an upgrade for people who are into those sorts of things?

In any event, I (obviously) couldn't be any more pleased. This vacuum is terrific - I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't be thrilled with the Electrolux Harmony.

Summary: Outstanding vacuum
Comment: We've used this vacuum for close to a year now and we've loved it. It has excellent suction, quality parts, excellent filtration... it is very quiet and lightweight. The wife has allergies and asthma and this vacuum has behaved like a good quality air filter.

Summary: This vacuum SUCKS (which is AWESOME)
Comment: Wow! I can't believe how a) quiet and b) powerful this vacuum is. I was really skeptical when my wife bought this because it doesn't have a "power head" with a separate motor for the carpet beater. However, after using the vacuum several times on our carpets using the vacuum-driven beater, I'm a believer--this vacuum is awesome.

It is also very quiet and directs the airflow from the motor up, rather than back, so it isn't blowing dust all over the place while you are cleaning.

Summary: Fan-tastic!
Comment: This vacuum cleaner is as quiet as promised. It's wonderful for apartment dwellers who don't want to disturb their neighbors. I have all wood floors and the attachments are perfect and they all fit on the actual vacuum so you won't have trouble keeping track of them.
