The Electrolux Precision is no doubt a good looking vacuum. With its modern design and silver/chrome color scheme, the angles and shape give this machine almost a robotic look to it. But there’s more to this unit than meets the eye. There are features unique to it that you wont find on just any other vacuum. While it has both good qualities and a few small features that could be improved upon, one things for sure, the Electrolux Precision is not your everyday vacuum.
This medium sized vacuum has some weight to it. It’s not for someone looking for an ultra-light weight cleaner that you can push around with a single finger. There are large wheels on the base that do a good job of maneuvering the cleaner around on both carpet and hard floors. There is a large handle built in to the cleaner, located right above the canister, which helps when you need to lift up or carry the the vacuum.
Unlike some other vacuums that have a wide rectangular base, the cleaning area on this upright is almost perfectly square. Because of this design, the actual surface area of the floor that the vacuum cleans on each pass is less, but this also allows the cleaning base to fit into smaller areas between table legs, around chairs and such. It also makes for a smaller footprint when storing it. It’s a bagless unit, so all of the dirt, hair and debris that is picked up goes into a clear canister that can be emptied directly into the trash. The suction tube the dirt goes through is clear and easy to see into, making it simple to locate anything that might get clogged in inside of it. The roller-brush height can be adjusted with a foot pedal on the base, so it can be set to work with the appropriate carpet height. There is a dedicated button on the top of the canister for switching from cleaning hard-floors to carpet. The vacuums power on/off button is located right beside it.
The handle is long and pulls out to double as a cleaning wand. There are two attachments that come with it and have storage mounts on the back of the cleaner, a folding crevice tool and a brush with bristles about an inch long. On the handle there is a sliding suction adjustment button that lets you regulate the suction levels when using it as a cleaning wand. The weighty design of this vacuum works to its advantage when using the cleaning wand, since it keeps the base held down and in place instead of tipping over.
On the front of the base there are blue LED lights that indicate the current settings of the roller bar and a red LED exclamation mark light that comes on to indicate when the roller brush bar needs to be checked for something jammed in it or something wrapped around it. The “Brushroll Clean Technology” is where this cleaner really shines. I have long hair, so does my daughter. My vacuums roller bars are usually a mess of hair and miscellaneous strings wrapped up inside of them. Every few months this requires me to take apart the base of my current cleaner and cut off everything wrapped around the roller bar. In this Electrolux, there is a blade of some kind inside the vacuum that, with a press of a pedal on the base, comes down as the cleaner is on and the roller bar is spinning and cuts off anything wrapped up inside it and sucks it into the canister.
With 3 large dogs, 2 kids, a few small rodents and a large fluffy cat, my carpeting gets put to the test on a daily basis. Pet hair, mud, dirt, crumbs and everything else you can think of is constantly finding its way onto the floors. I’ve been pleased with its pick-up performance so far. The suction from the base reaches fairly close to the edges of walls, and I use the wand for corners and more hard to reach spots. The vacuum does a nice job also on hard floors as well, and I use it often to suck up the large pet-hair balls that collect behind and around the furniture in the kitchen. I’ve used a number of vacuums over the last few years, some working better than others. Some with features I like and some working for a longer period of time. If there was one feature I could take from another cleaner and put into this vacuum it would be a retractable power cord. I’ve found retractable cables to be especially handy, however the cord on this one does wrap up neatly and stays in place well.
So in conclusion, while there are a lot of vacuum cleaners on the market to chose from, this Electrolux does have one feature the other brands don’t, the Brushroll Clean Technology. The ability of this vacuum to, in a sense clean itself, offers a brand new kind of option to the market. Electrolux has designed their Precision cleaner with a very modern feel and appearance, while still keeping every part extremely functional. After years of owning brands like Hoover, Dirt Devil and Eureka, I’m finding Electrolux is definitely giving them a run for their money.
