Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Electrolux EL5020A Intensity Upright Vacuum Cleaner
Customer Review: Best little vacuum!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this vacuum. I have hardwood and Berber carpet in my home and it is a very small home. This vacuum is so compact but has a lot of power and makes sweeping very easy with little effort. It doesn't have attachments but I use a shop vac for any of that. Five starts without a doubt!Customer Review: Electrolux EL5020A
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a small upright vacuum cleaner. I was attracted to the light weight and the folding design. Unfortunately, this vacuum is difficult to maneuver, requiring significant force to push it across a carpet. Furthermore, it leaves unattractive marks on the carpet. I would not recommend this vacuum cleaner to anyone.Customer Review: love this vacuum in a house of pets!
Summary: 5 Stars
The reviews we read were right on; we have a black lab and 2 cats, all of whom shed and bring in dirt. We filled up a bag on the first vacuum with this Electrolux, and are happy with its performance and manageability. It folds up very small so as to be unobtrusive and is easy to use. Wish we'd discovered this unit prior to buying other vacuums that do not come close in performance. At $99- this was a great deal! Customer Review: strong suction!
Summary: 5 Stars
I really like this vacuum...some complained of a too small bag but I had used it quite a bit before it told me to change the bag...and then the bag was PACKED full. Sometimes with the big wheels, it is not as easy to manipulate in a circle...but you learn how IT wants to go! Love the light weight and the ability to get it out of the way. Would I buy it again...yes!Customer Review: Solid Vacuum With Some Annoyances
Summary: 4 Stars
The Electrolux Intensity vacuum cleaner performs well. It's compact, attractive, powerful and quiet (when compared to my previous vacuum, the Bissell 3950). However, after limited use, there are some annoyances which hopefully Electrolux can address in the future. First, because the retractable 21-foot cord connects at the base of the unit, three or four feet of cord length are lost when hooked around the handle. This make the usable cord length shorter than the specs would indicate. Second, the large rear wheels and a lack of some sort of self propelled mechanism makes the Intensity more difficult to move and maneuver than previous vacuums I've owned or used. This is more of an annoyance than anything else right now and probably something I'll adapt to rather quickly. And finally, due to the rubber side scratch guards, the Intensity lacks suction power/reach on either sides of the vacuum. Vacuuming against a wall or furniture may require an additional pass or two.
In summary, the Intensity does what a vacuum cleaner is supposed to do well, vacuum. Some conveniences were sacrificed for the compact size. But for the price, this is a solid vacuum for limited space apartments, condos, and homes.
