I love the sound of my Electrolux EL6986a. I've had it for seven years and it's by far the most relaxing vacuum that I've used since my mother's 1949 Electrolux Model 30. I find that I can really get into cleaning my rooms from ceiling to floor as well as upholstery and behind things without becoming fatigued because of the smooth sound. By the way, seven years and used in my house multiple times each day and I've not had a problem. It costs $400.00 in the U.S.
One thing that I've noticed with that turbo nozzle is that if you extend the wand long enough it won't put a lot of pressure on the front of the nozzle on the forward pass allowing it to spin well and dislodge most particles and to pull buck while lifting slightly though not as high as to break the vacuum seal and it will perform very well.
Wow this was just like I expected. Even the turbo nozzle was like I remember it when I bought it. It has no suction release openings what so ever. So that is the reason why it stop spinning. Unfortunately I had to modify mine to make it work by making small holes to the front to it. Now it spins like it should. so if someone wan't to buy one, this is important to know. However it works higher pile carpets very well without any modifications. Vacuum itself is fantastic. well hose could be longer, but no other faults.
If you already purchase it, at this time you probably found that the parquet nozzle is gone. The connection between the tube and the nozzle/brush is at least damaged.
Soooo Jealous right now of you owning this beautiful AEG! It's SO quiet as you said and yet it still performs very well. The rest of the vacuum companies need to learn from AEG. Why can't we have AEG in the US?? (I know, some will say we have Electrolux but it's not the same) Anyhow, AMAZING video skills Roger, I agree with others that this is one of the best videos I've ever watched. You are spot on with editing and I LOVE how you show the features as you're talking. All together Bravo Roger and keep it up, you're skills and hard work are VERY much appreciated! It's funny but I f you keep getting fabulous vacuums that I can't get here in the states.. I might have to move! LOL
+Vacuumtests YIKES.. $600 to $700 (£458 to £534) for the USA Electrolux UltraOne!! Why is this vacuum SO expensive here and so inexpensive in the UK?? Makes me Sad! I'd spend $600 on a Sebo or Miele.. But not for a cylinder like this. ☹️
Looks like the US models come with the full-size powerhead. For example in the Europe straight suction models starts at about 200€ (225$). Only the top of the line model with the powerhead is about 500€ (556$). I bought my (bagless) UltraFlex 199€ + powerhead 84€ from the Finland (Europe). Those are cheaper in the US than UltraOne.
One thing I forgot to mention is, that currently I have Electrolux/Aeg UltraFlex Green. It's bagless, but all the cleaning tools are exactly same as this UltraOne. Price range is also same as the UltreOne. It is slightly noisier than UltreOne, but much quieter than majority of the bagless vacuums.
Great review Roger! I have noticed the extra attention to detail in your recent videos, especially the very smooth editing. Keep up the great work! (even if it takes you a while to edit). Tom.
Great Demo! Almost sad I didn't choose one of these to review rather than the UltraCaptic, but A, the bags look quite expensive, and B I'm not a fan of the tools, they stick to the floor too much to be of much use (the ultracaptic comes with the parketto pro which is the only nozzle I can use without it sticking to the laminate). Also don't like the 3 in 1 tool, the crevice part is too short, the dusting brush part sticks to everything even on the lowest setting, and the upholstry tool sits at the wrong angle. The UltraOne does look incredibly nice though!
Hi! Great review and demonstration! If only ALL vacuum cleaners would have something similar! It would be MUCH easier to decide... Do you know if this vacuum cleaner is ok for long hair also? Can you at least remove it manually? Or would long hair destroy the vacuum cleaner?
I love these ultra quiet Electrolux cleaners. I am mystified why Electrolux stopped using their main brandname in the UK. Can't for the life of me understand why they think sales would be better if their vacs were branded as AEG products or Zanussi products. Do Brits like Germany and Italy more than Sweden?
I have no idea why the Electrolux brand was dropped in favour of AEG, but German brands are perceived to be of better quality, even though most of the AEG cleaners are made elsewhere in Europe. I remember we had dual branding for a while. I had a tumble dryer branded Electrolux Zanussi and you could also get AEG Electrolux branded products.
aeg zanussi or electrolux are the same brand... just different selling politics, like ariel detergent same part of the world is called ace other part dash like in Italy but we got ACE too america tide but they are the same
Hi @ibaisaic ! i found your channel because i am going to by my first vacuum soon. i don't have much experience with those but i do appreciate a vacuum that works well!. right now the choose is between this this elecrolux (which in sweden i can currently find for about 140 pounds) and one of the cheaper miele C3 for about 195 pounds. Is the miele worth the difference in price? which of those two would you advice?? o maybe is there a third alternative that is better then both for about the same price?
I have this model, but the brand name is Electrolux. Is the best vacum cleaner I have had. But today the weel to increase, decrease the speed of the engine doesn’t function. Is it possible to repair this function?
Let me call your attention to this (intentional?) detail of design: Why making a OVAL tube instead of he rounded/circular tube. Why the nozzles have OVAL connections? Does it really improves the efficiency of the vacumm? I don't think so. Wait a few months using the parquet nozzle and you'll see the result... Need to buy a new parquet brush because it's broken and there's no compatible one available in the market (yet).
I don't have a default vacuum as I tend to use whatever cleaner is newest so I can get a feel for it before I make the demo video. I do enjoy using my Shark Powered Liftaway and that is always at hand if I just need to have a quick clean.
I've been very impressed with the Shark after watching your demonstrations but I do tend to love the bagged vacuum cleaners, Miele being my preferred option, having 2 models myself - The Miele S7260 Cat & Dog Upright Vacuum Cleaner & the Miele S8 Medicair. Thank you for all the Demonstrations Roger , they are all very much appreciated. 👍👏
I don't like these Ultra cleaners at all. I bought a slightly used Ultra One 8870 - the top of the line within the first generation - with the abysmal powerhead and the automatic suction control. Cheers to AEG Electrolux for having replaced the wand and the powerhead under warranty, though I didn't have the original paperwork. After a very short time the hose started leaking at the handle, and the combined bag/storage lid does not open and close properly. The build quality on those is really poor. The thin cord starts to get hot over time, the bags are leaking and it is a hassle to use this machine. It is much too powerful and glues itself to every type of surface, as the automatic suction control has never really helped either. This could have been a great little cleaner, but for me it just didn't work out.
Electrolux EUOC9GREEN UltraOne Green is a great disappointment. Minutes after I started using it one of the wheels on the accessorie for floor and carpet brush came off. The two wheels on this part are just clipped on and if it had come loose while under a sofa it would have made it diffcult to get it out. The handle on the pipe attachment makes it diffcult to get into narrow spaces. The brush to clean surfaces is only held in place by suction. Several times the brush would suck onto a surface and would come out of the mouth of the pipe. For such an expensive cleaner its design is not up to par and its quality is questionable. Don't buy this vacum cleaner but find one where the attacments sit well and do not loosen easily.

I love these good Electrolux vacuum cleaners
It was nice waking up to a video everyday. I know you can't do that all of the time but it was a pleasant change of pace. Thanks Roger!
No, back to three videos a week, or five if you watch my other channel.
I didn't know that you have another channel Roger. What is it named?
Wow this was just like I expected. Even the turbo nozzle was like I remember it when I bought it. It has no suction release openings what so ever. So that is the reason why it stop spinning. Unfortunately I had to modify mine to make it work by making small holes to the front to it. Now it spins like it should. so if someone wan't to buy one, this is important to know.

Great tip, thank you.
Where do you make the holes?
@@pederlettstroem980 Front of the nozzle where the brushroll is.
Very nice vacuum cleaner! I want to have this one. Thanks for this very good démonstration.
If you already purchase it, at this time you probably found that the parquet nozzle is gone. The connection between the tube and the nozzle/brush is at least damaged.
AEG better start paying you!
Excellent review as usual.
I wish someone would pay me, then I could buy all these vacuums people keep asking me to test.
Soooo Jealous right now of you owning this beautiful AEG! It's SO quiet as you said and yet it still performs very well. The rest of the vacuum companies need to learn from AEG. Why can't we have AEG in the US??

Electrolux UltraOne and AEG UltraOne is 100% same vacuum. US versions might have just a different colour options.

Absolutely. Almost every European vacuum costs about three and a half times as much as it would in Europe in the U.S.
One thing I forgot to mention is, that currently I have Electrolux/Aeg UltraFlex Green. It's bagless, but all the cleaning tools are exactly same as this UltraOne. Price range is also same as the UltreOne. It is slightly noisier than UltreOne, but much quieter than majority of the bagless vacuums.

I like it, but I would love to get the Quattro version with the power head.
It would be so nice if you would buy the Quattro version. I have that powerhead and it's a beast.
Lol
Fantastic editing.
That turbo nozzle sounds like a dentists drill lol
Electrolux UltraSilencer is even quieter, especially the Zen edition.
At certain points I couldn't even tell the vacuum was on!
you should buy and review this from Karcher DRY ICE BLASTER IB 7/40 Advanced (240V)
Hi! Great review and demonstration! If only ALL vacuum cleaners would have something similar! It would be MUCH easier to decide... Do you know if this vacuum cleaner is ok for long hair also? Can you at least remove it manually? Or would long hair destroy the vacuum cleaner?
Hi Roger, which would you say is better (in terms of things like performance, weight) - this or the VX8 also featured on your channel?
Is the UltraOne quieter or the same as the UltraSilencer? If I remember correctly, the UltraOne has more power, but I am not sure about sound.

ibaisaic That's odd. Over here in the United States we still have the Electrolux name.
RyanSellman1 In Canada, Electrolux has stopped selling vacuums altogether....we have to cross the border to buy some great canisters in the USA. 🙁
aeg zanussi or electrolux are the same brand... just different selling politics, like ariel detergent same part of the world is called ace other part dash like in Italy but we got ACE too america tide but they are the same
Brian Torobin Man that's some serious bullcrap. Electrolux Canada needs to get their act together.
Thank you
What makes the turbo brush easier to push?

Did the HEPA filter come with the vacuum, and was it already inside?
The suction power of my Miele s512i makes so much noise than the motor.
I have this model, but the brand name is Electrolux. Is the best vacum cleaner I have had. But today the weel to increase, decrease the speed of the engine doesn’t function. Is it possible to repair this function?
Now I have purchased a replace unit from Electrolux. We will see, if I am capapable to replace the unit with a new one. (?)😟
I replaced the unit. Thanks for the info.

You can buy an adaptor that enables you to use regular round tube accessories with this model.
+ibaisaic I know. But thank you anyway.
hello, i follow you, congratulations for your videos; can you do a review of rowenta silence force 4A with bag? thank you!
Nothing beats the Shark Lift Away on hard floors. I still cant get over how well it works.
All that dirt rubbed into your carpet! oh my!. Dedication isn't the word.
Just curious, what is your default vacuum cleaner?
I don't have a default vacuum as I tend to use whatever cleaner is newest so I can get a feel for it before I make the demo video. I do enjoy using my Shark Powered Liftaway and that is always at hand if I just need to have a quick clean.

Is this from AEG or Electrolux? I believe I've seen it branden under Electrolux?
It is the same as the Electrolux. AEG and Electrolux are part of the same company.
Help, the lid doesn't close.
Check that the bag is properly inserted.
Was that the + model or the regular one? I bought the +model 399€.

Miele vs Electrolux?
its very silent. i haven't see on other brand
That is really silent, at least from this end.
It's very quiet at my end too.

Electrolux is trash nowaways. They are very cheaply made.
Is calling this a “cylinder” vacuum cleaner a leftover from the old times when such were indeed cylindrical in shape? I’d call it “canister” instead…
But this is an electrolux
It the UK Electrolux cleaners are branded AEG but they are the same.
Do you like pasta
