I purchasesd The Electrolux EL5020A Upright because I don 't have a lot of space, and I didn ' t want a heavy machine. Oooops, not the easiest to use. I have 95% wood floors and one area rug. It didn 't glide across the floor. First clue to send it back. It did not fit under my setee which is high off the floor. Did not fit under my sleigh bed either - not a good thing. There is a to use when carrying it up steps, that is why it doesn 't handle fit under furniture. The bags do not hold very much. Thus, even two stars may be too high.
I bought it in July of '09, as a replacement for another that I had tried. Should I stuck in my first instinct & went to Sears, Best Buy or Target to see vacuums on hand in October. R rWhat 's good about it: It ' s powerful. It gets the carpets as well as clean bare floors. This is an automatic cord winder for. The handle folds down, so it 's compact when it gets set aside. R rWhat 's bad about it: the 15 ' cord limits the range is not looking for another outlet, weight for a small item, bags 1 / 5 the size of normal and aren 't safe. R ri 'll be buying another because the vacuum bag came off as it was used and all the dirt and dog hair got in the Engine & paste it. R ri is not recommended this item.
This vacuum is very powerful. It 's heavy and somewhat difficult to move, but well worth buying this thing really sucks! It moves around the area rugs that vacuum cleaners! The cable is short, so I bought a tract of 20 meters of cable from Walmart. Now I plug into an outlet and can vacuum the whole floor. Bags fill up quickly, but they're cheap at Amazon.
Really gets the dirt! I bought one for my daughter. She loves it. Unbelievable Price.
In general I have this product live up to my expectations given the price. It 's not super low, but tolerable, much better than the up-right vacuum worth $ 30-60 I ' ve used before. Navigation with this product is a bit hard on wood floors because the machine is heavy and the wheels feel down a bit. R ri came the product mainly because the power button is not reliable. I opened the box and the second time I tried it, the power button won 't work, and I've put on the machine. I encountered the same problem again the next day and decided to back him. But the seller is very good at dealing with the return. Basically, I called Electrolux a frequency number and then enter the number of CPO and then processes the return immediately. Since I just return label and be at a FedEx.
I read all the reviews before I bought it. I found the pull, the way was more than I had expected. To the point that I might not even bother to fix my vacuum cleaner can become expensive. I had bought this model as a temporary replacement, but if it continues to perform as good as it has the last 3 days, it will be some of my regular vacuum. Yes, the bag is small, but my rooms are not larger than 12 x 14 anyway, and all my power outlets are centered, then move the line isn 't the annoying Others have commented on. The big wheels do take some getting used to, but it rolls easily for me. I love the adjustable handle and the carpet / floor option. It does everything including cat litter. The edge suction is better than my other vacuum too. It takes hair with ease. My old vacuum just moved it around, it actually picks it up. I'm always a second thought, you die in this particular case, no one on me. Hopefully of old age.
I wanted a compact vac occasional deep clean carpets. I 've had this vac for several months, and it absolutely does the job. Other reviewers have pointed out, it takes a lot of dirt, lint, cat hair, etc..: It is also well made, is made of quality material. R rDrawbacks: (1) It must be pushed so hard to me to find a hidden brake mechanism, which I need to unlock (if there is one, or one way to make the wheels turn easily, would anyone have a comment to consider it?). It doesn do 't, corners, under order, or something for which you need a hose detachment as shelves can, it ' s only super vac. R rGood, when combined with a robotic vacuum for bare floors and a hand-held for pillows, shelves, etc..
This is the best! I HAD always vacuum and I tried very, rit gets sand cat litter better than any other from the floor, r is easy to maneuver, the noise level is much quieter than other vacuums, rI-use Mostly it-to collect daily, animal hair, sand, cat litter, etc. .. RI recommend this vacuum to anyone who needs a good vacuum daily; buttons rthe to activate it at the top of the handle, wrap the cable with your foot, what else you want, I don 't have leaned more:) for rall rvery easy to handle
Just got back from the void, and it definitely has a great aspiration, but the tradeoff is the small bag (bag 's is smaller than my hand vacuum!). In addition, it was difficult to turn around and go into small areas. Do not 'the price of the forest, so if there was a large area that t Do not need a lot of navigation and only occasionally vacuuming, has to be what you need. Otherwise, they have worth the extra money to get something few more user friendly.
We have this vacuum for about six months had. Cleans very, very much better than our Oreck upright. R rBut We have the same mentioned, many of the problems - the bag is very, very small, the cable is very, very short pants and push the vacuum very difficult. For these reasons, I would recommend you look elsewhere.
Very good vacuum, Electrolux vacuums sold had When I was in college. With great suction and is a big job as well as "Is it easy to store. R RONLY con would be a little heavy for some parties.
Ok, ok, yes the bag is small But not something that really doesn '. Enough ltr cheaper and comes in large quanties Enough That It Makes No Difference. Hand tools are used would be rather nice goal Have A Separate Easily portable hand-held instead! The suction on this machine IS fantastic. Makes it look like the carpet It's Been-through has just shampoo! Vacuum for the price it can 't Be Beat, just amazing. Oh, and you like pushing it around, and poverty ITS No. Any Other Vacuum I have ever had except when comparing your piece of junk to some like a stick-vac. You can 't and won ' t Be disappointed!
Electrolux EL5020A Intensity Upright Vacuum Cleaner rYeah , it 's true, this vacuum suction May Have a good, but if you Would think it ' d fit under the bed to gather people dustbunnies, just because the handle down to Will flatten the floor, YOU ARE WRONG THEY WERE. Unit 's main vacuumhead sit too high to allow the Supreme But it's under the bed. I mean, carry handle 's ITS good and all, but also raising the profile of Being Too much use universal. Get a good price though, woo-hoo! Dumb.
I purchased this vacuum several months ago. When he arrived, I was impressed by the compact design and ease of use. After literally two weeks, my wife tells me that there must be a mistake, because the display of the vacuum bag (to notify the bag is full) is on. After two weeks how could this be? Then she opens the camera and starts laughing hysterically. What is so funny that you ask? She shows me the vacuum bag and it is the size of a sandwich bag. I don 't think it is as funny as her. After months of taking pause button system if you have to manually back. Now, last week (used for only six months), the vacuum does not work at all. It seems that the brush has melted into the metal front. The vacuum can t be fixed. Finally, the plug is very little sound very difficult to empty a room 12 ft x 12. So go this year unless the price you have a very small place and rarely empty.
If you are looking for a great Vaccuum below $ 100, that is. This unit cleans better than me "any use. I used Rainbow and Filter Queen models and do not compare. This bend very well end is very heavy. The only drawback is the next small bags that uses it. Expect to go through- lots of bags. They Do provide replacement several bags right in the box.
It looks different and has powerful suction. Just watch wool rugs cheap. Could there be too many years of aspiration and aggressive inline skating. The design is a great achievement that I would like to have a detachable hose for steps for the purpose of money, power, and look, I knew what was in me and glad did.The thumb Selection Control different surfaces and also children. LED extra bright bags.Cord could buy the skirt, but not a big deal.
Is it good vacuum power, manuvers properly and works fine, for the carpet. I have hardwood floors and rugs and it sucked up the rugs, so it Was not the vacuum for me.
Reading the other reviews online only pocket change often, I have decided to buy this bad boy. My mother has an old school Electrolux, back in 1989 that she bought and renovated still used today. RAlright pocket change is occurring very often, Everytime I are really cleaned (once a week) my flat (900sqft) ... The little bad boy was just my job ITS .. Carpet must have the carpet is disgusting and so everyones complained about diaper bags so often / / Now I only change about once every two bags months.my carpet is clean, allergies .. All for $ 100 .. u are gone not disappointed.
This is a Great little vacuum. We live in a small house where storage is tight this vacuum and can live happily under my bed. We also have two pets, one who Sheds quite a lot. The vacuum gets up all the pet hair. R rThe only downfall is that the Vacuum Suction you so much, that for small rugs, it will suck the whole thing up, so you HAVE to stand on the corners while you vacuum, but its not THAT big of a deal.
I very m 'satisfied with this vacuum. operations from simple button (the handle) to the retractable cord and adjustable height. It has great suction power and more than any other vacuum I 've owned you and I ' had many). great for storage. A great buy
This product is EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR .... easy to store, easy to use and works like a charm.
The Electrolux Intensity is the answer 's the call for a new, medium-duty vacuum. It tries to combine the advantages of an upright with the portability of sticks. It is a worthy piece of equipment, power, pure and cool design, but it is a bit too expensive for what it is. Especially this is true, because in this price range Would you expect a vacuum cleaner that has a hose and a serial port removable accessories. Lack of attachments relegated to a floor cleaning machine only. (Electrolux and Amazon seem to understand this last point - that you will see a list of the original price of this product was $ 299. It seems to be falling like a stone, even if I type this.) R rPOWERFUL EMPTY ref is the 'a good thing you can say about this vacuum, it is "it sucks! " This is not a low-power light intensity is a paste cleaner on steroids. It has 12-amp motor that can really remove the dirt from a carpet on a single pass. R rCARPET rExcellent removal of pet hair, dust, dirt, and soil. He has more than adequate suction. I only tested on a woven mat of low and medium term, because that is what I have in my house. The machine is incredible and suction and the head is of medium height - the most good for carpets com, but not adjustable. R rHARDWOOD SOL / LINOLEUM: rWith extinguished the brush at the touch of a button, the vacuum works equally well on smooth surfaces. The exhaust comes out the back, I know there's no breaking of the air from above the head, which tends to push dirt road, as you can see in Some vacuums at low cost. R rDESIGN: rand Who would ever think that could be described as a cool vacuum? This is not your mother s vacuum '. It has a futuristic look, as if designers Porsche and NASA has teamed up with the crew Electrolux - the lines of depression are a cross between a sports car and the space shuttle. R rEXCELLENT ERGONOMICS: rBut 't just look around, the team has done everything by Electrolux accessible and functional. The start and stop buttons are all the brush in the handle - very handy. What makes the smooth transition from carpet to hardwood. These buttons double as the "on switches ', so there is no need to pedal awkward. Also on the OFF button on the handle. The handle telescopes generously users to adapt to any height. Pedal at the rear to tilt back the handle and is positioned in front, he is on the pedal cord wrap spring.There are even full bag indicator lights and HEPA filter, a way-cool, medium blue. There are large rear wheels that are big enough to meet all the carpets in the field, but are made of rubber so as not to scratch bare floors. It bends, even reduced to nothing, I know that storing almost is easy. Flaws rDESIGN R / Problems: RThere are some problems in paradise, however. There is no height adjustment of the carpet. Although the gap seems to be on the carpet in my house, most of the time our carpet is the variety you court.Si battery battery more generous, the vacuum might not work for you. R RThe intensity has a steep slope of his nose aerodynamics. This looks really fly, but it is impossible to vacuum under low furniture. The vacuum is also Heavier Than it seems: it is really around 21 pounds. It 's okay, but given all the weight is at the base and there is little weight in the handle, it is sometimes difficult to maneuver. Despite the convenient handle on top of the vacuum, the intensity sheer weight also makes less practical for cleaning stairs. In terms of obtaining corners, side vents on the intensity did not nose STIs. Even so, it seems to do reasonably well in the corners - what it lacks in vents side, it is for the pure power centrally. R RThe well placed pedals for tilting the handle and the son of automated retraction are lightweight plastic and feels fragile. I think that would be These could be the first victims with repeated use. R RThe bag capacity is very low as compared to a full right motor - it 's only one shift. I 'm usually partial to disposable bags. Yes, they are less respectful of the environment, but they are cleaner and have less likely to vomit here and there allergens When you empty them. (You know, the only time in August You Were Remove the environment at this expensive HEPA filter.) In this case, however, given the low capacity, I think the intensity would have fared better as a vacuum cleaner bag. R RAN Essential MISSING FILE: RThe mistake most extreme in design is the lack of a port pipe. Most uprights now where you can have a port for connecting a hose and other accessories. This adds to the versatility of the machine in question and actually ADDS value. For me, it really blows that the intensity a couple notches to the range of three stars. If you need more than one floor cleaner, this vacuum has won t 'be enough for you.You might supplement this with an empty low cost. R rSUMMARY: Rall in all this is idle floor competent, but lack of attachments and other shortcomings mean that Won t this 'be ' only flushes you need for most people. "It 's second to have great void, but probably not need all your needs vacuum. Nevertheless, it cleans floors like a dream.

This is really the best I have empty "property. Collect all - and the general movement in the first through the carpet. I 've had a hard time low nuts down a carpet of hair, but this gap took it well. It lightweight, easy to store, and is able to get under furniture easily. R ri read some reviews before my purchase about people having to empty the bag after just one race through your house, but I have not had the same experience. may have pets. R rAnother common complaint in some reviews I noticed was that it was difficult to push. I agree with that. It seems to put some resistance on the wheels for some reason. I need exercise anyway. I wish the cable was something a little more, but t doesn 'bother me too well.
