Summary: Not what I thought it would do! 2010-02-27
Comment: I purchasesd the Electrolux EL5020A Upright because I don't have a lot of space, and I didn't want a heavy machine. Oooops, not the easiest to use. I have 95% wood floors and one area rug. It didn't glide across the floors. First clue to send it back. It did not fit under my setee which is high off the floor. Did not fit under my sleigh bed either -- not a good thing. There is a handle to use when carrying it up steps, that is why it doesn't fit under furniture. The bags do not hold very much. So even two stars may be too high.

Summary: I won't buy another one 2010-02-18
Comment: I bought this in July of '09, as a replacement for another that I had tried. I should have stuck with my first instinct & went to Sears, Best Buy or Target to check vacuums out hands on.
What's good about it: It's powerful. It gets carpets as well as bare floors clean. It has an automatic winder for the cord. The handle folds down, so it's compact when it gets put away.
What's bad about it: a 15' cord limits the range it will go without looking for another outlet, weight for an item so small, bags that are 1/5 the size of normal and aren't secured.
I'll be buying another vacuum because the bag came off while it was being used & all the dirt & dog hair got into the motor & burned it out.
I would not recommend this item.

Summary: Great product 2010-02-07
Comment: This vac is very powerful. It's heavy and a little hard to move around but well worth the purchase as this thing really sucks! It moves area rugs around as it vacuums! The cord is short so I purchased a 20 foot appliance cord from Walmart. Now I plug it in at one outlet and can vac the whole bottom floor. Bags fill up fast but are cheap on amazon.

Summary: off button problem but service good 2010-01-27
Comment: in general I found this product live up to my expectation given its price. It's not super quiet but tolerable, much better than the up-right vacuums worth $30-60 I've used before. Navigation with this product is a bit difficult on wooden floors, because the machine is heavy and the wheels feel a bit stuck.
I returned the product mainly because the off button is not reliable. I opened the box and the second time I tried it, the off button won't work and I have to unplug the machine. I encountered the same problem again the next day and decided to return it. But the seller is very good at dealing with the return. Essentially I called Electrolux to get an incidence number and then give the number to CPO and they processed the return immediately. Then I just print out the return label and drop it off at a FedEX.
