 Great vaccuum -- misleading advertising February 21, 2005
John C. Lynch (Chapel Hill, NC United States)

This vacuum is great. Very powerful, very quiet, very ergonomically
designed, very cute. BUT...
I know someone else has already posted this info, but I just checked it
out myself and was amazed to find the exact same thing. All of the
advertising for this vacuum (including the manufacturer's description
on the Amazon web page) extoll the virtues of its "washable HEPA H12
filter." However, the other reviewer is exactly right -- this filter does
not come with the Harmony vacuum. You must purchase this separately
for $30. The Elextrolux website also clearly implies that this vacuum
comes with a washable filter. What a crock! Somebody call the better
business bureau! Somebody call Consumer Reports! Don't let them get
away with it!
But I will say again, this vacuum is brilliant. It's a wonder of design and
simplicity. It is to other vacuums what the iMac is to other desktop computers.
quiet and powerful December 31, 2003

Light and quiet, the Harmony really cleans hardwood floors and area rugs well. We don't have wall-to-wall, but from what I can tell, if you have lots of carpets I would recommend moving up to the Oxygen model. It does not come with a powered carpet attachment. Gotta work a bit to clean carpets - glides easily on hardwood. Stores in small places. Great design and easy to use; instructions are a bit weak. Overall happy, great in a small city house/apartment.
 Powerful suction, flimsy parts September 10, 2004

Although this vacuum has powerful suction, the quality of the plastic wand and cleaning attachments are not consistent with the cost of this vacuum. The carpet attachment does not come off easily and in my case, broke off from its collar. I had to spend nearly 40% of the original purchase price to replace the wand and attachment which were NOT covered by the warranty. Overall a poor value and not recommended for the price.
Manufacturer's description misleading October 28, 2004

While the vacuum does everything it is supposed to I feel cheated that the description says the HEPA filter is washable and it is not! On their own website,Electrolux has described it as washable while neglecting to add that it is optional and can be purchased for $30. Most dealers will tell you that it is washable because that is how Electrolux is marketing it to them. Check the Amazon site and you will see it too! Without the washable filter one has to pay $15+shipping for each filter replacement. The suggested schedule is one for every fifth bag change.Thats a lot to add to the cost of the already expensive vacuum cleaner.
I contacted Electrolux and received no help from customer service. They denied that the website mentions the washable filter - I have copy of it. Calls to the home office have gone unanswered. I might return the product because of the false advertising. Just wanted others to know what they were getting.
Not worth the money August 21, 2006

If you have nothing but hardwood floors, this might be a fine vacuum, but if you're looking to vacuum carpet of any texture, think twice. If you have a pet, look elsewhere.
My wife and I bought this vacuum knowing the Electrolux name from my childhood, only to find out it's a different company, and they're nowhere near the quality of the old '65 vacuum that my father still uses to blow out his pool lines (there's a novel use...).
Pros:
1. Quiet
2. Light
Cons:
1. Expensive
2. Bags are small and Expensive.
3. Proprietary design for hose and attachments (the two that come with it are all you'll ever get.)
4. Vacuum head and brush roller jams with the slightest bit of hair.
Let me get back to the attachments: If you're going to make a vacuum, give it more than a crevice tool and a brush, or at least make a set of extra attachments and sell those separately. The company has no plans to support further expansion of this hokey design.
I'm a bitter man about this vacuum. By way of disclosure, I should state that I have two golden retrievers and I may have been expecting a bit much, but for a vacuum over $400.00, I should see better performance... The vacuum's been fixed twice now when the head siezed up and stopped spinning the roller. At least the warranty location is good about helping me out.
Really... there are better tools than this one for the money.
