I just received my reconditioned Oxygen Ultra half an hour ago and have cleaned my house top to bottom without hurting my eardrums! What a treat! Came in great shape, put it all together quickly and got on with it. Suction supreme! Keep all your little goodies out of its path! Lightweight, maneuverable, handle ergonomically correct, and the bare floor brush is 14" wide which makes for speedy cleaning. Dust bags tiny! There are 3 things I'd like to bring to your attention that haven't been mentioned in previous reviews, starting with the most important: The wands do not lie flat, so I cannot reach completely under the bed without the beater bar being lifted off the carpet-- definitely a design flaw. Next, the powerhead pulls like a dog on a leash when doing the carpet. I find it annoying, but pretend I'm at the gym working out. And finally , a minor point, the off/on switch is on the top, back of the unit. I feel it would be more convenient if it were in the front where the hose attaches and where you are naturally standing anyway. None of these 3 things would be cause for me to return my new treasure, however, it's good to be aware beforehand. I was unable to purchase it through Amazon because they wouldn't ship it to Hawaii, so I went directly to cpoelectolux and purchased it over the phone. The woman was really nice, told me she had bought this vacuum for both her daughters and that they love it. Also, by going 2 day instead of regular shipping, I saved $50, another helpful hint from my sales lady. This is a worthy little workhorse and it stays in my stable. My 30 year old Kenmore is out the door.Customer Review: Works for me
Summary: 4 Stars
My vacuum arrived just a few days after I placed my order; it was well packed and everything in the box looked brand new. A bag and both filters were included. I knew that my antiquated Hoover was doing a lousy job, but I certainly didn't expect to fill the bag in my new machine in just one vacuuming session! The only problems I see are that the instructions are not very detailed; they don't tell you, for instance, what some of the attachments do. Nor do they mention that the canister will not close if there is no bag in the machine; that's a good safety feature, but it would be nice to know that it's a design feature and not a problem with the compartment door. I find it hard to detach the power head from the wand and the two sections of the wand from each other. So it's not easy or quick to switch from one attachment to another. Nevertheless, this machine did a great job on my orientals, a thick carpet and wood floors.Customer Review: Good Vaccum
Summary: 4 Stars
The vaccum is very good but the attachment doesn't work correctly; moreover the vaccum and attachments weren't clean.Customer Review: Limited choices

We are pleased with this purchase. I actually prefer to buy some power equipment that has been "reconditioned" because I feel it has undergone a more precise quality evaluation. Canisters are becoming an extinct species and I don't know why. Must be an easier manufacturing process to make uprights, ergo greater profit, but an upright is heavier and more cumbersome so we're sticking with canisters and this one looks good and works well. Complaints? Maybe the limited storage of the tools but even on our old one, which had onboard storage, we always misplaced a few tools. We bought it because of the Electrolux reputation and trust that it will hold up well.
