Electrolux Epic

My Electrolux Epic is a 15 year old vacuum cleaner that is still going strong. I am searching out there to find another or see if there is something better.

Not so far it seems. I love that this machine is still powerful and can go flat so vacuuming under furniture is easy. All the tools I need are right there on the canister.

I vacuum at least once a week for a 3,000 sq. ft. home with mostly hard wood, marble, laminate and carpeting. I have owned a few other brands but so far nothing can compare.

Since it is a canister type the only draw back is doing the stairs. It came with a small power head that I have only used twice. Too much of a bother to get it out and switch heads.

The Electrolux Epic bags are way over priced so I get the model I need at a discount store and have never had any issues using them.

I do hope to find a model that is lighter in weight so there is more ease of doing the stairs.

I have been researching Electrolux vacuums and I find that there are two sources for these products. One is Aerus which offers the older and more expensive Electrolux canister. They also market parts and service for the older Electrolux. The second source is Electrolux Home Care Products, Inc., which offers the newer models of the vacuum (more plastic). The Aerus Electrolux price is in the $1,000 to $2,000 range whereas the newer Electrolux is in the $300 t0 $500 range. If you purchase an Electrolux vacuum, know what you're getting.

Hi,

I have an electrolux Epic upright vacume and the carpet shampooer which I acquired after a divorce that I no longer want. Have brushes and scrubbers and attachments and bags.

Not giving them away, but will consider any good offer. There is a matching mini handheld I will throw in. I am based in MD. mianaja@yahoo.com

by: m trainer

The Electrolux Epic 8000 is a fabulous vacuum. I have hardwood floors, tile and antique carpets. I use the old Electrolux attachment that does both hard floors and carpet (you flip it over - it is a combo tool I had with an ancient Electrolux vacuum and it fit my Epic 8000 that I purchased new).

It is a bit heavy. I have had it for about 11 years, and love it. I am trying to find another for my Mother, but the new Electrolux vacuums look kind of crappy.
