Description of Electrolux EL6984A Harmony Ultra Quiet Canister VacuumThe Electrolux Harmony, model 6984A, is the world's quietest vacuum cleaner. It's so quiet that you can use it while others are sleeping. Soft wheels, a sound-insulated motor, and a low-noise floor nozzle are all part of Harmony's innovative quiet design. Its specially engineered system prevents noisy air escape, making it even quieter, increasing its suction power, and keeping the dirt from drifting back into the air. The Harmony cleans hard floors and area rugs, as well as furniture and drapes without difficulty. A foot-operated height adjustment switch and variable motor speed control lets you move between hard floors and area rugs with little effort. Easily clean those unmanageable areas with the tools stored conveniently on the handle and the telescoping wand that extends quickly to reach the high places. Specifically designed for superior hard surface and rug cleaning, the Harmony includes a state-of-the-art floor tool and turbo nozzle for spot-cleaning pet hair from carpets and for cleaning stairs. The Harmony is lightweight and easy to store. Two different ergonomic carrying handles and its lightweight design make carrying it effortless and Harmony's compact design and on-board wand parking device make storing it even easier. Additional features include a dust bag indicator to tell you when the bag is full, a powerful 1100 watt motor and a soft-touch handle for a more comfortable feel help to improve the vacuuming experience.
Tools and Hardware Reviews of Electrolux EL6984A Harmony Ultra Quiet Canister VacuumCustomer Review: WOW WOW WOW Summary: 5 Stars
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.
