Summary: Awesome Vacuum
Comment: We recently purchased the Harmony after our POS Hoover died. We love this canister vac. It's small, ergonmic, and best of all it cleans great. We have mostly hardwood floors and a few area rugs - and two labrador retrievers and two cats - the Harmony picks up dog hair and dirt very effectively. Some reviewers have complained that the Harmony isn't good enough for pile carpets. That may be true but the turbo attachment works well on area rugs and if you have a lot of pile carpet you should look at an upright instead. Others have complained that the Harmony doesn't come with a life-time HEPA filter as advertised. We can't find anywhere in Electrolux's literature where they say the lifetime filter is included. If you don't want to spend the $30 you can get the filter for $10 at Lowes. We looked at Miele and Dyson and for the money we think the Harmony is the best value. We got ours at Amazon for $65 less than we could find locally - plus no tax and free shipping. As well as the Harmony cleans it is incredibly quiet too. We can vacuum while our toddler is napping or watching TV with no complaints!

Summary: canister vacuum review
Comment: This canister vacuum is great, please note I mostly have hard wood floors and tile flooring. The suction is awesome even on bathroom tile. It is unbelievable on dust.The head is slim so can easily go under sofa and chairs. I do have some carpeting you will need to slide button for carpeted areas also will need to switch to turbo speed. You cannot beat the lightness. I can lift with one hand which works out great since I have a 5 mo old! Note, I ordered the canister bags extra when I placed my order, vacuum only comes with one bag.

Summary: Delighted with use & design
Comment: My husband is a contractor, I am an artist--we have a heck of a lot of tools so it's really a delight to come across this vacuum that is extremely well designed. This actually makes vacuuming fun! Quiet motor (although air suction makes some racket), great suction, easy to change attachments, motor speed control, 2 places to control suction which runs the beaters, doesn't tip over. I think the telescoping wand is plenty long and I am 6' tall. Tools snap securely in handle, lightweight, easy carry and pivoting head makes getting under furniture a breeze. I have not had problems with unwanted cord retraction. Bags ARE small, but I'd rather get rid of dog hair, fleas and flea eggs quickly. Ordering bags can be a drawback in a pinch. As with most canisters, best for bare floors, low pile and areas other than the floor. All in all, efficient and easy to operate, good power. But only time will tell on durability. My advice is to buy refurbished. Same 2 year warranty at nearly half the price and mine looked brand new.
I don't normally review products but I was particularly impressed with this item. I'd echo other reviews, if you have severe allergies, want an electric beaters or have mostly carpet--go for an upright. But if you want a canister, and can't afford the top end model of this series (approx $600-700) this is the vacuum I'd reccomend.

Summary: WOW! WELL WORTH THE PRICE - and we're frugal folk
Comment: WHAT A WINNER! We are so pleased with this vaccuum. It's pricey, I know. My husband was pretty unhappy when he saw the cost. He is the one who uses it, however, and has only raved about how great it is: VERY quiet! Quieter than the hair dryer! All the joints on the head take some getting used to but it does allow one to get all the way back under furniture which is very useful and a nice change (love that telescoping feature!). It even does a good job on the low carpet in our playroom. THRILLED to be able to use just one vacuum on most days (we have mostly wood floors, only 1 low-carpeted room and 2 tile/linoleum floors). We were using a quality broom vacuum but had to work around rooms counter-clockwise b/c the broom had a side exhaust. Dragging the canister around is a bit of a pain, but it's not too bad (just a change to get used to), and the canister is light-weight with nice soft easy-rolling wheels. We're rarely this delighted with a purchase. WELL DONE, ELECTROLUX!!!!!!!!! (No wonder this is the only brand my frugal and much-loved Grandmother will buy!)

Summary: Ultra SUPER Quiet
Comment: This vacuum cleaner is probably one of the best out there, it's not only stylish but also combine low sound and high quality in the making.
Unlike other cleaners, this piece of equipment will get the job done in no time, and is perfect for hard to reach places like under the bed or on top of furniture.
Unlike upright vacuum cleaner, it won't fall on you when you pull the hose to reach under hard to get places.
Price may be an issue for some, but the quality alone is worth the money, trust me when I say that you don't want something that you have to replace every year or so, or who make so much noisy that the entire neighbor know that you are doing your house cleaning.
I read lots of review on every different type of cleaner, and there is always someone to say that the item is bad, but take it from me it's a smart buy, and you won't be disappointed.

For your carpet use, get the Oxygen from the same brand, with the spine brush.
