The Complete Clean
In addition, the vacuum provides the freshest, cleanest house possible with its long-life HEPA H12 filtration system, which makes the air coming out even cleaner than the air going in. Its superior filtration system captures 99.97-percent of dust and allergens as small as 0.3 microns. Plus, it uses the new auto-close system of the Electrolux s-bag, which prevents dust from escaping when changing the 2-quart-capacity bag. Every part of the vacuum, in fact, comes tightly sealed so no dirty air can escape. Other highlights include electronic speed control, a super silent motor, an electronic "full" dust-bag indicator, and an ergonomic design. Even more, with a durable brush roll and long-life belt, there's minimal maintenance over the life of the cleaner. The 1400-watt canister vacuum cleaner measures 9-1/2 by 12 by 18 inches and carries a two-year warranty.Getting the Best Results
Use ‘Brushroll off’ setting for wood, tile, or other hard-surface floors. Do not use ‘Brushroll On’ setting for hard surface floors, as the brush roll could damage delicate surfaces.Hard Floors: Use the bare floor brush. Use the power nozzle. (Brushroll Off)
Carpets: Use the power nozzle. (Brushroll On)
Crevices, corners, etc.: Use the crevice tool.
Curtains, lightweight fabrics, etc. : Use the dusting brush. Reduce suction power if necessary.
Frames, bookshelves, etc. : Use the dusting brush.
Upholstered furniture: Use the upholstery tool
Easy Cleaning Tips
The power nozzle is ideal for all types of carpeting because of the deep cleaning brushroll. Turn off brush roll when cleaning bare floors. After connecting the power nozzle to the wand and hose, turn on the canister and the brush roll for carpet cleaning. The cleaning height can be adjusted by pressing on the height adjustment pedal located on the rear of the hood. The height indicator will change from low to medium to high as you make the adjustment. Use the lowest setting that still allows easy maneuvering on the carpet. Release the handle by pressing down on the handle release button. Replace the bag and filter from time to time when the indicator is lit.Product Features
The bag change indicator is equipped with a light that notifies you when it is time to replace the bag. To avoid replacing bags even before they are full, empty the bag from time to time.
The easy to carry handle in addition to the automatic cord rewind feature, allows compact storage of this canister vacuum. The canister weighs only 13 pounds and can be transported easily using this handle.
HEPA filter system traps dirt, dust, and other household allergens. Replace the HEPA filter every 6 months and clean the filter from time to time for an enhanced cleaning experience.
With the automatic cord rewind feature, the time wasted to wrap the cord after vacuuming is completely eliminated. No need to bend or use your hands, just tap your foot on the automatic cord rewind button.
The DeepClean head is equipped with LED lights to clean even in areas that are hard to see. Cleaning under the couch cleaning and dark corners where dirt lingers, just became so much easier.

Customer Review of Electrolux Oxygen Canister Vacuum Cleaner
I was quite confused when I first started doing research on electorlux. My mother, and her mother, have always owned electrolux vacuums. This electrolux is not the same company that has been doing business in the U.S. under the electrolux name in the past. The old electrolux has changed their name to Aerus Electrolux.
Electrolux is an international company that states on their website "Electrolux is the world's largest producer of appliances and equipment for kitchen, cleaning and outdoor use." In the United States they do business under the familiar names: Eureka, Frigidaire, Poulan, Weed Eater, and now thier upscale brand Electrolux.
OK, on to the vacuum. I bought mine after much research at Lowe's. While opening and putting the thing together, a small clip that holds the power head on the shaft broke off. I called the company and they said they would send me a new piece with out much hassle, but then got a call back 15 minutes later saying that since the product was so new, it might take 2 months to send me a replacement part and suggested I just return it for a new one to Lowe's. My over all experience with thier customer support leads me to beleive that I won't have too many problems dealing with them in the future.
My second vacuum unpacked fine and after a couple uses I'm quite satisfied with it's performance. The carpet powerhead does very well on my rugs, and even does ok on hard floors. The hard floor attachment is more than a foot wide and makes quick work of the hard wood in my house but is so wide you have to switch it for the corner tool to get around most furnature. I was impressed with the suction from the vacuum, even before I noticed that I only had it turned up half way :) So I'll try to sum up the pros and cons.
Pro:
Cool looking
Nice cord length and roll up storage
Wide reach on the attachments
Small size of the canister
Does a good job of sucking up small stuff
Bags are just more than $1 each (for the standard bags)
Easily turn on and off the roller on the power head
Both the hard floor attachment, and the power head easily go under beds and couches
Con:
Hard to deteach the hose from the canister for storage
Power head won't work on bath mats
I'll post again in a few months when I see how it's holding up.
