Electrolux EL5020A Intensity Upright Vacuum Cleaner
Appropriately named “Intensity”, this upright vacuum cleaner picks up dirt, dust, and debris without the need to vacuum the same spot over and over again. Its 12 amp motor and direct airpath maximizes suction power–dirt travels just 3 inches to the bag instead of through long tubes and hoses, which can slow down performance. The unit’s fingertip controls allow for selecting “on/off”, “carpet”, or “bare floors”. In carpet mode, the cleaning head adjusts automatically to different carpet heights and uses the spinning brushroll for a deep-down clean; bare-floor mode stops the brushroll to protect bare-floor surfaces. In addition, the unit’s 12-inch-wide cleaning path with edge-cleaning brushes ensures fast results, while convenient performance indicator lights signify maximum suction, as well as when the bag or filter needs to be changed. Other highlights include an adjustable-height telescopic handle for comfortable use, a soft-touch grip, maneuverable handlin (more…)

Carpet melled like it was steamcleaned
Bought this for $75. Great deal, carpet smelled like it was steam cleaned. Beware though, bags are pretty small and there are no attachments for cleaning couches or other things…

Great fold up Vacuum
We love,love, love this vacuum. The primary reason we consider purchasing it is because of how compact it is. Because of limited space in our RV, it is the perfect vacuum.

Excellent suction and design features. Only drawback is it is difficult to push/pull – it drags. I used WD-40 on it and it made a huge difference, tho’ it should still be more…

This is a small upright vacuum cleaner. I was attracted to the light weight and the folding design.

love this vacuum in a house of pets!
The reviews we read were right on; we have a black lab and 2 cats, all of whom shed and bring in dirt.

strong suction!
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.

Solid Vacuum With Some Annoyances
The Electrolux Intensity vacuum cleaner performs well. It’s compact, attractive, powerful and quiet (when compared to my previous vacuum, the Bissell 3950).
