I got an Electrolux Oxygen canister vacuum from Lowes back in 2003 at full retail ($400). At
first, it was awesome. Pretty much just like my mom's grey and blue Electrolux as far as suction
and mode of operation. It was super great on carpets as the head unit was light and
maneuverable. The canister part was great too. The hose was long enough and attachments were
all useable. The only con was the canister would always crash into the corners as we were
vacuuming. Yes, I know there are some nuances with a canister, but carrying the canister around

issues. As a result of disconnecting the hose (with handle) from the carpet unit repeatedly (to use
attachments), the dual prongs would burn/spark every now and then as I would push and pull on
the carpet unit causing momentary disconnection. I thought it was minor enough not to warrant
servicing and I guess I was partly in denial considering the cost and reputation of the vacuum.
