Electrolux began operations in the early 1900's. It is a Swedish multinational with headquarters in Stockholm. In terms of revenues it is the second largest household appliance manufacturer in the world. With respect to vacuum cleaners, the company makes stick vacs (like the Ergorapido), canisters, uprights, central vacuum systems and steam cleaners. Electrolux vacuums tend to be moderately priced with some leaning towards expensive. Several of the company’'s canisters have made the cut in our top vacuum lists. Electrolux Ergorapido Lithium Ion Plus Monday, 06 June 2016 Avg. consumer rating = 85/100 This model, EL2055B, is a cordless 2-in-1 stick and handheld vacuum cleaner.  Consumer ratings are good and the vacuum sports over 20 minutes of run time with a 4 hour recharge time.  The vacuum is lightweight and quite maneuverable.  It also has the ability to stand upright so you don’t have to find a place to lean it (often a bit of an annoyance with stick vacs).  The dust canister on the EL2055B is quite small however and it requires frequent emptying. 

A number of owners also lament the fact that this model does not include a charging base. Electrolux UltraFlex EL4335A Canister Vacuum Tuesday, 15 December 2015 Avg. consumer rating = 96/100 The Electrolux UltraFlex EL4335A has been getting some impressive consumer ratings as can be seen by the high score of 96/100. This bagless canister vacuum has a washable HEPA filter and a sealed system which make it ideal for those suffering from allergies or asthma. It is also designed for bare floors and low-to-high pile carpet, and comes with specialized bare floor and carpet nozzles. The pros far outweigh the cons with this vacuum, however there are a few issues such as the narrow cleaning path width and smallish dust canister. Electrolux Precision Upright Vacuum EL8807A Thursday, 08 May 2014 Avg. consumer rating = 78/100 The Electrolux Precision EL8807A is a bagless upright with fairly average consumer ratings.  Highlights of the machine include an easy-to-use hose and wand assembly, and a unique brushroll cleaning system. 

The Precision is designed for both carpet and bare floors and it includes a couple of tools that increase cleaning flexibility.  However some owners report being concerned about the extent of plastic used in the unit's construction. Also the limited number of height settings make movement and cleaning on carpet a bit tricky. Electrolux EL4071A Access T8 Canister Vacuum Monday, 10 June 2013 Avg. consumer rating = 69/100 The Electrolux Access T8, model EL4071A, gets very average reviews and ratings from consumers.  It is one of the lowest rated Electrolux vacuums we have investigated.  The main drawbacks are its limited effectiveness on carpet and short power cord.  These two shortcomings are an issue for quite a few owners and comments bear this out. It would only be fair, however, to point out that under the right circumstances – a smaller home with mostly bare floors for example - the T8 does appear to perform adequately. Electrolux Ultra Silencer Deep Clean EL7060A Canister Vacuum

Monday, 23 January 2012 Avg. consumer rating = 66/100 On paper the Electrolux Ultra Silencer EL7060A sounds impressive.  It comes with many features including a sealed HEPA system, suction control, automatic cord rewind and a 5-year warranty.  innoware vacuum cleanerIt also has powerful suction, is lightweight and is very quiet.  forbes trendy steel vacuum cleaner 1100 watts eurekaWith all of these qualities one would expect this Electrolux canister vacuum to get great consumer ratings – but ratings are lackluster.  electrolux bagless vacuum cleaner (1600w) z1860Owners allude to a number of issues and while some do like the machine there are a sufficient number of low ratings to make one take notice.

Electrolux Ergospace Green Canister Vacuum Tuesday, 13 December 2011 Avg. consumer rating = 83/100 The Electrolux Ergospace Green gets fairly good reviews and is lightweight, easy to maneuver and very quiet.  It works well on hardwood floors and is environmentally friendly being made in part of recycled plastic.  The vacuum is also packed in unbleached recycled cardboard. The brushbar is air-driven however and while the Ergospace is effective on bare floors some owners report that it does not excel on carpet. Electrolux Ergorapido Ion Stick Vac EL1030A Thursday, 20 October 2011 Avg. consumer rating = 78/100 The latest Ergorapido has one major improvement over previous models – the Lithium Ion battery.  Lithium Ion batteries recharge must faster than the NiMH batteries used in older Ergorapido models and they also provide fade-free power.  The new 18V battery also ensures strong suction for a stick vac.  Owners Like that the vacuum is lightweight, maneuverable and comes with a built-in handheld vacuum. 

It is great on hard surfaces but like many stick vacuums it is only average on carpet. Electrolux UltraActive Deepclean EL4300A Canister Vacuum Wednesday, 12 October 2011 Avg. consumer rating = 79/100 This is a lightweight and maneuverable canister vacuum with a motorized brushbar making it capable on both carpet and bare floors.  Owners like that it is quiet, powerful and even has multiple suction settings.  However some consumers wish the UltraActive Deepclean EL4300A had more on-board storage for attachments. Electrolux Nimble Upright Vacuum, EL8602A Friday, 12 August 2011 Avg. consumer rating = 80/100 The Electrolux Nimble looks great on paper and has good features but some owners struggle with certain aspects of the machine.  As a result, consumer ratings are not as high as one might expect.  The machine does have its proponents and some folks swear it is better than a Dyson but there are a number of detractors who feel that it is too heavy, hard to push on carpet and the plastic used in the construction of the machine isn’t sturdy enough.

Electrolux EL6988E Oxygen Canister Vacuum Cleaner Review Friday, 04 June 2010 Avg. consumer rating = 70/100 The Electrolux EL6988E Oxygen Canister Vacuum Cleaner is a lightweight, quiet, bagged vacuum.  This vacuum also comes with HEPA filtration and consumers do feel it is effective on most surfaces.  It is a little expensive however and some folks feel the bags are on the small side. Electrolux EL6984A UltraSilencer Green Canister Vacuum Cleaner Thursday, 29 April 2010 Avg. consumer rating = 85/100 The Electrolux EL6984A UltraSilencer is a lightweight and extremely quiet bagged canister vacuum cleaner.  It gets top grades from consumers for it’s ability to clean hard surfaces (wood, tile, lino, etc) and for its quiet operation, but seems to fall a little short when cleaning carpet (in particular deep-pile carpet).
