Comment:
I purchased an Electrolux Ultra bagless canister vacuum EL4300A and although I've used it only once, I feel I'm going to be very happy with it. It's pretty well all made of plastic, which makes me wonder how well it will wear. But considering I paid under $300.00 on [@], I can't complain. I have arthritis in my hands and wanted something light. It's nice and light to pull around and seems quieter than my other vacuums. It takes a bit of thinking to figure out how best to keep attachments attached by its wrap-around elastic and I have found that the floor attachment's bristles are cut shorter in the back than the front…meaning that it only picks up the dirt when you fully extend your arm so that the shorter back bristles drop down to the floor. Oh well!! I'm going to use the floor attachment on the rugs until I wear down the front a bit. I love the fact that it's bagless. I got ticked off about the screws & washers on the floor after 2 months of waiting for my bidet to be installed and sucked them up….thought better of it and easily recovered them with a little shaking. That sure beat the heck out of buying vacuum bags and then ripping them apart looking for whatever that tinkling sound was that got accidently sucked up. The cord winds inside the shell at the push of a button but watch out as the head of the plug can flip around and come back to smack your fingers, legs, whatever. I have 3 dogs that have the run of the house but the rotweiller has to be the worse for shedding and I'm really looking forward to seeing how well the HEPA filter system works through dog hair, wood burning stove and living in the boonies with plenty of gravel, dirt and muddy little toesie prints.
