Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Factory-Reconditioned Electrolux EL 5010 Aptitude Upright Vacuum
Customer Review: So very quiet, well built and clean to use - Highly Recommended!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this as a second vacuum (I also own a Bissell Healthy Home) and am tired of buying low-end toss-aways as a second vac. At $99 as a refurb, looked like an incredible deal. I am so impressed that it has become my main vacuum!
I am happy to say that it not only looked like an incredible deal - it IS an incredible deal and an excellent vacuum! This vacuum has a nice solid feel to it that vacs in this price range new just don't have. Here are my findings as pros and cons....
Pros:
* Comes fully assembled right out of the box
* Includes a very complete set of attachments including a good bare floor brush and enough wands to make it work well. Also has a turbo brush.
* Very, VERY quiet operation, even on high speed. Low speed is actually variable, still grooms the carpet nicely, lets you ramp up the speed a bit - while quiet enough to vacuum and not wake anybody! I've never experienced such a quiet vacuum.
* Light weight for a full function vac - light enough to pull itself!
* Very comfortable handle with controls
* Is bagged (Bagless seems to be good only on higher-end units)
* Bright headlight
* Nice long hose and 3 wands - great for bare floors or ceiling cobwebs.
* Long power cord.
Cons:
* Front bumper is hard plastic - not soft.
* Overall build/feel is sub-par for a $250 - $300 vacuum, but great for a $100 refurb. A Dyson (which I've owned) or my Bissell Healthy Home are much "beefier" built machines. But again, at the $100 point, this is very well built.
** Overall I am very pleased with my purchase, and can strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a decent quality vacuum at a affordable price. As I stated above, I bought this as a second vacuum - and have ended up using it all the time. 5 stars from me!
