Vacuum cleaners are designed to reduce dust in the home, maintaining clear surfaces and improving the air quality for those sensitive to it, such those who suffer from allergies and asthma; Electrolux products take this a step further. First, the system reacts to the specific levels of dust in the air when in use; moreover, it continues to filter the air even while on standby. The Oxygen vacuum also features touch-sensitive controls and floor-to-carpet capabilities, making it convenient and easy-to-use as well as health conscious. Brand new 2010 Model. Lighter, Improved powerhead.
Hygienic Cleaning
Patented s-bag™ traps the dust for easy disposal. HEPA filtration traps dust and allergens. The Oxygen combines the superior filtration of a HEPA filter with the innovative, self-closing design of an Electrolux s-bag™ to capture 99.97% of airborne dust and allergens and to prevent dust from escaping back into your home when you change the bag.
Convenient Controls
Carpet and bare floor controls are at your fingertips, and the automatic cord rewind means no bending to wrap and untangle cords. You can quickly switch between carpets and hard floors by controlling the brushroll with controls at your fingertips.
Superior Versatility
Uninterrupted above-floor cleaning is simple with tools stored in the handle and a telescopic wand. Height adjustment, variable speed controls on the handle and well-crafted tools make cleaning between your carpet and hard floor surfaces easy.
Quiet Operations
Using "V" belt technology, the Deep Clean™ powerhead delivers deep cleaning without the noise. Multi-surface powerhead and height adjustment are also on this vacuum for easy cleaning of bare floors and carpets.
Electronic Dust Bag Indicator
The vacuum is designed with our innovative electronic dust bag indicator that informs you when to change the bag to eliminate dust overflow and keep the dirt away from your family.
Deep Clean Carpets
The unique power head system has a separate motor that yields incredible cleaning performance. You can see this powerful carpet cleaning through the clear window.
Superior Filtration System

Comments about Electrolux Oxygen Vacuum Cleaner EL6988D:
The EL6988E is much improved from the EL6988D. The issues that some users had with the power tool has been addressed.
The power head has been improved and is more durable.
It looks much nicer also.

Comments about Electrolux Oxygen Vacuum Cleaner EL6988D:
Within a month of purchasing, the plastic piece that holds the powerhead to the arm broke off and was sucked into oblivion. Warranty covered the repair, thankfully. Also, the bag full light doesn't work and the bag is extremely difficult to remove if full. I paid about [$] for the machine with several discounts and it was barely worth it.

Comments about Electrolux Oxygen Vacuum Cleaner EL6988D:
I inherited Electroluxes from both my grandmother and mother and when I needed another sweeper for a vacation home I was dismayed at the price of the bells and whistles canister. This was a wonderful compromise - all the cleaning power and dependability without the steep price.

Comments about Electrolux Oxygen Vacuum Cleaner EL6988D:
This vacuum performs very satisfactorily and is half the price of the number 1 rated in a popular consumer magazine. Best value by far for my money and I've purchased two of them.

Comments about Electrolux Oxygen Vacuum Cleaner EL6988D:
I am a big fan of canister vacuums, but to be really useful they need to have all the tools on board. This only has two of the four so it really limits your efficiency and flexibility when vacuuming.

Comments about Electrolux Oxygen Vacuum Cleaner EL6988D:
The manual needs more information. For example, I lost suction to my powerhead. I first checked my manual and it only contains two troubleshooting ideas: vacuum cleaner doesn't run; it gets wet. Neither applied. I called Elextrolux to see if they could help me. The representative was very pleasant but perplexed. She was willing to send what she thought could be the problem at no charge. When I hung up, I turned the powerhead over to see if I could possibly get it going again; and to my amazement I spotted a tiny reset button. I pushed it and the powerhead worked again! I canceled the replacement part and was unable to talk with the same rep. I hung up thinking that the rep who cancelled the order could care less about my input. The manual should include a trouble shoot that says powerhead doesn't suction. And I'm not even sure the manual addresses the reset button at all. All these comments are referring directly to what Elextrolux could do to improve the product. [...]. Thank you.

Comments about Electrolux Oxygen Vacuum Cleaner EL6988D:
I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT EVEN THOUGH CONSUMER REPORTS RATED IT HIGH BECAUSE THERE IS A FLAW. ONE MONTH AFTER BUYING IT A SMALL PLASTIC PIECE BROKE IN THE NECK OF THE POWER NOZZLE SO THAT THE WAND WON'T STAY ATTACHED. THE ELECTROLUX REPAIR SHOP SAID THEY HAD SEEN A NUMBER OF THESE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. AT THIS POINT THEY HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET A NEW PART OR JUST REPLACE THE WHOLE POWER NOZZLE BUT THESE HAVE BEEN ON BACK ORDER. SO IT WORKS FINE ON BARE FLOORS AND FURNITURE WHICH IS THE BULK OF OUR NEED BUT WE HAVE A LOANER VACUUM FROM THE REPAIR STORE WE HAVE TO USE FOR OUR CARPET AND RUGS. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE COMPANY REPRESENTATIVE WHO ASSURES ME THAT THE PART WILL BE SOON AVAILABLE BUT IF I AM ABLE TO GET A FULL REFUND I WILL BUY ANOTHER BRAND.

When using the carpet feature, the handle can twist and the unit pulls where it wants to.

Comments about Electrolux Oxygen Vacuum Cleaner EL6988D:
I have an equal amount of carpet/hardwood floors in my house. Powerful suction, too powerful in some situations, would be nice if the suction was adjustable. The floor tool is too big, needs to be redesigned. Seems to push dirt around rather than suck it up. Nozzle and small brush storage in handle is handy however it would be nice to have on board storage for everything. Very lightweight and compact. Does a great job with carpets.

Comments about Electrolux Oxygen Vacuum Cleaner EL6988D:
My Aussie's shedding has killed several previous vacuums. This one's design manages vast amounts of dog hair easily.

Comments about Electrolux Oxygen Vacuum Cleaner EL6988D:
I love the canister, as I can get under furniture and into corners with it. I love the carpet attachment: it really gets up the pet fur. I love the hard-floor attachment. It's wide and flexible, and can reach into corners.
The only thing I don't like so far is that the carpet attachment doesn't flex as much sideways as I would like.

Comments about Electrolux Oxygen Vacuum Cleaner EL6988D:
This is a great vacuum the only better vacuum would be central vacuuming. I have a large dog that sheds alot and this vacuum is the first to actually pick up all the hair even on his dog bed. The only con is that the vacuum got stinky after picking up so much dog hair but after changing the bag it was sentless again. It works great on hardwood and carpet ssssuuuperrrr suction power almost scary (don't get your curtains caught or it will most likely rip the rod holding the curtains off the wall) Yikes

Comments about Electrolux Oxygen Vacuum Cleaner EL6988D:
This vacuum cleaner works fine. The only negative is that the pipe came apart from the power head and had to be put back together. The clip that holds it together is made of plastic. I hope it doesn't break in the future, as replacement may be an inconvience. Besides this one event, I am very happy with the purchase.

Comments about Electrolux Oxygen Vacuum Cleaner EL6988D:
My last vacuum was purchased around 1988. I decided it was time. I did my research and found what I thought would be the best match for me. I not only got the best match but a good deal as well.

Comments about Electrolux Oxygen Vacuum Cleaner EL6988D:
The wand has a cheap plastic c clamp that holds the wand onto the motorized brush head. This keeps popping off. I hand to use wire to hold it in place. Be carefull when reconnecting all wand parts, you may bend elcectrical prongs.They look like they break easy. The Vacuum works great, the parts are cheaply made.It does pick up dog hair, and is light to carry.
