Electrolux Harmony EL6985A powerhead canister vacuum cleaner Review and Prices

 

The Electrolux Harmony's claim to fame is its quiet operation. The Harmony EL6985A utilizes an air system that limits the loud noise often caused by rapidly exhausting air.

My Perfect Vacuum Cleaner!

 

For thirty years I used an old Kenmore canister vacuum. By the time I got around to buying a new vacuum, I was having to rake the kitty litter into the nozel. Okay, I'm not much of a house keeper. I bought this with a bit of trepidition, wondering ...

Inexpensive, powerful, light, quiet, convenient. My dream vacuum

The handle caddy doesn't hold the implements very tightly and they sometimes fall out

Harmony and floor attachments

The vacuum is quiet, light and powerful. The floor attachments work fine for a bit but then, no matter if you try to clean them after every use, they just slowly deteriorate - at least they do if you have pets. I have quite a few dogs and a cat and...

Disappointing longevity

 

Disappointing longevity

This vacuum works well on hardwood floors. It is lightweight. The attachment for carpet does not have a power head so it doesn't work so well if the carpet has much dirt or pet hair. The bags are expensive and do not fit well in the compartment. My...

For the first 4 years I loved this vacuum cleaner, then the turbo brush broke. Not the brush itself but a plastic ring that keeps it attached to the hose. I replaced the brush with a regular brush and that one lasted about 6 times and is not powerful...

3 1/2 Years Of Light Use - 1 Broken Attachment

I bought this vacuum 3 1/2 years ago. We don't have pets, don't wear shoes in the house, there's only three of us, and we use it maybe once a week. Light use by anyone's standards. After 1 1/2 years the rug attachment (with the spinner) failed. I tried...

I already had one of these and got a second because my husband and I share the vacuuming. I love the fact it is super quiet and does a great job on hardwoods and area rugs. This is a slightly newer model than my first and the only thing I noticed is...

Product Specifications

The Electrolux Harmony, model 6985A, is the world's quietest vacuum cleaner. It's so quiet that you can use it while others are sleeping. Soft wheels, a sound-insulated motor, and a low-noise floor nozzle are all part of Harmony's innovative quiet design. Its specially engineered system prevents noisy air escape, making it even quieter, increasing its suction power, and keeping the dirt from drifting back into the air. The Harmony cleans hard floors and area rugs, as well as furniture and drapes without difficulty. A foot-operated height adjustment switch and variable motor speed control lets you move between hard floors and area rugs with little effort. Easily clean those unmanageable areas with the tools stored conveniently on the handle and the telescoping wand that extends quickly to reach the high places. Specifically designed for superior hard surface and rug cleaning, the Harmony includes a state-of-the-art floor tool and turbo nozzle for spot-cleaning pet hair from carpets and for cleaning stairs. The Harmony is lightweight and easy to store. Two different ergonomic carrying handles and its lightweight design make carrying it effortless and Harmony's compact design and on-board wand parking device make storing it even easier. Additional features include a dust bag indicator to tell you when the bag is full, a powerful 1100 watt motor and a soft-touch handle for a more comfortable feel help to improve the vacuuming experience.
