WOW am I glad I bought this appliance! 
2008-09-28
This is a great great vacuum cleaner. I am so glad I bought it. I have 2 hairy hairy dogs in my carpeted bedroom and the power head sucks up all their hair without a hitch. They also have a dog door into the bedroom which brings in dust, etc so the carpet is gettin heavy use AND, the rest of my house is hard wood floors and I can switch over in a second and keep on going. I love that the controls are in the handle, so I can turn it on and off without having to bend over and find a button on the canister. A really great thing, is when you change the vacuum cleaner bag, it has this little panel that slides over the opening so none of the dust can escape. Highly Highly recommend.
Love It!

I have used a Kirby upright for years. I decided to try this machine for a change of pace. I LOVE IT!! It cleans extremely well and is incredibly quiet. I like the size and weight of it, and it is easy to use the accessories on my stairs. The only draw-back is that when using the hand accessories, it is very easy to accidentally shut it off. It would be nice if there was some sort of override button when using the hand accessories. You get used to the canister style quickly and it is nice to be able to vacuum under beds and furniture without a big struggle. I would recommend this machine.

This is the quietest vacuum cleaner. I've only used it a few times, but so far it is great. My one complaint is that I can't find a place to carry the upholstery tool on the machine.
Nice vacuum with electrical problem 2008-08-02
Had a 30 year old Electrolux canister vac and loved it. It finally wore out so I purchased the Electrolux brand again. Love all the new features and it all works well except for the electrical connection when using the brush roll feature to vacuum carpets. When the hose is extended completely, the brush roll stops, when it's loosened, it runs again. My husband and I determined that the 3 prongs on the hose that attach to the canister become disconnected enough when the hose is taught to stop the flow of electricity to the brush roll. Hope this is an easy fix. We purchased the vac about a month ago and this problem was evident from day one. Electrolux is a good company and we hope they'll fix this minor problem or replace the vacuum.
18+ months of solid, quiet service 2008-07-03
Looking for a lighter weight alternative to an upright bagless model when we moved to a 3 story place, I bought the Oxy3. It has been fantastic - great on carpeting and hard floors, quiet and efficient, easy to maneuver. It's had to go in for service twice (both due to someone not detaching something correctly and shearing off one of the connector pins - slide the latch, that's what it's for!), but both times the repair was inexpensive and quick. The suction is great on this model.
I'm also much happier with a vacuum that uses bags - getting all the stuff out of the canister of the bagless model was always a mess, and unless I washed the canister out there was always so much dust left in there (not to mention how static-y the thing was). The bags are simple to change and contain the mess.

good vacuum 2008-05-19
We have owned a lot of vacuum cleaners. It seems like we needed a new one every couple years because they keep burning out. Two dogs don't help - that's for sure. Well, after years of complaining we finally bought an Electrolux and it was worth the difference in price. IT really does a great job of pricking up all kinds of goodies off the floor. Now I'm sorry I didn't get one years ago. I hope it lasts...
excellent vacuum 2008-05-14
Great suction; works really well on pet hair, which is my biggest problem. Telescoping wand is easy to use and reaches far. Nice compact machine with handy storage for the most used attachments. This is my third electrolux in my lifetime and so far the best.
More Money Doesn't Guarantee Quality 
2008-05-05
We just purchased the Electrolux "Quiet Clean" Canister Vacuum, model Oxygen3. It is sleek, it is quiet, but unfortunately it's also not working. The vacuum works, but the "Power Brushroll" died only moments after its maiden voyage onto our carpet. We have verified that it isn't "Jammed" or user-servicable, it's just dead. We expected a $400 product to be free from these kinds of aggravations. We called Electrolux and got our closest "Warranty Service Center" which was anything but close. The gentleman we talked to at "Vacuum Zone" told us they weren't interested and to return the entire unit to the place we bought it from. I can see resolving this issue is going to be time-consuming and it's going to cost us money. Do not buy this product. Buy a vacuum from a brick-and-mortar store, and don't expect it to work no matter how much you pay for it.
Disappointing 
2008-05-04
The canister is lightweight, quite powerful and reasonably quiet. BUT the power nozzle is heavy, noisy and turns in only one direction. The power nozzle also is self-propelled and takes the person vacuuming on a speed race around the carpet.
The floor brush is wide and makes for quick cleaning of wide expanses of floor. BUT, it is so wide as to be awkward getting into corners and around furniture.
The telescoping wand is convenient. Storage of two of the tools on the handle is not; the tools keep falling off.
The power cord is short.
The hose is too flexible; it kinks easily.
I would prefer to have the on/off button on the handle of the cleaner not the cannister.
I have had this not even a week, and already I am disappointed in both the design and the materials used in construction.
Added three days after the intial review:
The crevice brush is not long enough to reach in many common crevices, such as those in a car or under a refrigerator.
The prongs of the plug had to be separated a bit so the plug does not fall out of the wall socket.
