Summary: Wish I'd bought it a year ago!
Comment: I noticed this vacuum for sale about a year ago - mainly because of the pretty ingenious, apartment-closet-friendly design - but figured it couldn't be *that* much better than the one I was already using. In the spirit of fiscal responsibility, I put it off. Boy, was I wrong.

Y'know the other review, where the person talks about filling a bag on the first go? You figure they must either be a reforming 'dirty person' or exaggerating. It seems a stretch. Whelp - I'm no 'dirty person' of any kind, and when I was through the living room and midway through the bedroom the 'change bag' light came on. I sighed, figuring that the sensor was off, and tugged off the cover to check it.

Whaddaya know? Full to the brim with stuff I had *no* idea had been hiding from my other vacuum. Ew.

I went through one more bag. I vacuumed three rooms. You do the math.

My carpet looks pretty splendid this morning. Needless to say, I'm pleased. I never woulda thunk it, but I wish I'd bought this thing when I first noticed it so the equivalent of the two bags of crud that went down the trash chute wouldn't be in my lungs right now.

Summary: Great Compact Vacuum
Comment: Powerful vacuum cleaner that fits into about 1/3 the size of the machine it replaces. We are replacing a Hoover Self Propelled Ultra WindTunnel model. We have found this model just as easy to push and pull as the self propelled Hoover.

The Electrolux does not have as many settings and gadgets as my older vacuum. It does not have a hose and attachments, which is ok with me since I have a Dust Buster which I've used instead of the attachments for some time. I personally don't like fooling with bulky hoses and attachments.

It cleans much better that my old vacuum, leaving my 15 year old carpets looking fresh and clean. It transitions easily from carpets to hardwood and tile surfaces at the touch of a button. I have seen some reviews complaining about the length of the cord. The cord is just under 20 feet (yes, I measured it myself before purchasing), plenty long for my needs. And the cord retracts, so it is completely out of the way when being transported or stored.

The best part of the design is the compactness of it. It can literally be folded up and put away when not in use. I highly recommend it to anyone that needs a very good vacuum that doesn't take up much storage space.

Summary: Best Vacuum I ever owned
Comment: The Electrolux Intensity upright- excellent design, suction, and storage.
I love the fact that it is so simple in design without all of the hoses and attachments.
All I ever did with the hoses and attachments on my old Hoover was trip over them, Struggle with them, and curse at them when they fell all over the place.
As for the small bag, larger bags just reduce suction. Also, the dirt inside larger bags just collects, then the dirt begins to stink and whenever you turn on the vac it smells.
Small bag is the way to go.
Excellent product, you wont be disappointed.

Summary: Excellent Vacuum Cleaner
Comment: I have owned several vacuum cleaners and I must say that this is the best one that I have ever used. It is small, smartly designed and extremely powerful. Some have complained about the small size of the bag, but I did not have that same problem cleaning my tile floors. I do agree with those who say that the cord is kind of short; it does get to be a bit of a pain having to plug and unplug it over and over. I also found that the cord tends to get in the way of the vacuum cleaner, but I quickly remedied that problem by simply holding the cord with the same hand that I used to hold the handle. Gripping the cord along with the handle keeps the cord up and out of the way.

I have two cats who shed like, well, they shed like cats....but this vacuum is so powerful that it visibly sucked the cat hairs toward it and I give it an excellent recommendation.

Summary: Great Vacuum!
Comment: This is a really great vacuum if you want something compact. It has great suctioning power! Changing the bags is easy and it's nice that dirt and debris doesn't get all over your hands or you cleaned carpet. Although the bags are small, the vacuum lets you know when it is full. I don't have alot of closet or storage space so this vacuum is great when folded down. It's small enough to fit under a bed. My favorite part is the retractable cord. I have to vacuum almost everyday because debris shows up on my dark red carpet easily and the retractable cord keeps me from winding and winding. Overall, this is a great, well-made vacuum. Not the cheap plastic you'd expect. This is a solid vacuum despite it's size.
