Here's my Electrolux Oxygen EL6988E I got from Goodwill on 5/22/2021 for $17.99. It didn't have the powerhead, only the floor tool.
I think all 3 of these vacuums are all from the same family. Not sure why they never caught on. They just came then disappeared as mysteriously as they arrived. They are pretty sold little vacuums, would be great for a dorm or apartment.

Those small tools look to be pretty good quality. I think I've seen those used with some Eureka models as well. That bare floor tool seems to be used by everybody. I've seen it on some higher end Kenmore Progressive uprights, Hoover used it on some of their uprights as well as the Constellation and Windtunnel Anniversary Canister. I think some other brands did, too.

That grey upholstery nozzle supplied with the Electrolux Oxygen in North America is the exact same design as the deluxe, wider upholstery nozzle made by Eureka Williams way back in the 1960’s. As a matter of fact, the earliest appearance seems to have been a green one that was sold with the 1959 Anniversary Edition of Eureka’s Super Rotomatic. That’s almost 40 years of sales of that particular design of upholstery nozzle. Maybe that’s record for a vacuum cleaner attachment?

They are not rebadged Eurekas. They were designed in Europe by Electrolux design teams and were sold without the power nozzle set-ups all over Europe. They were also manufactured in Electrolux's factory in Hungary. The only parts that were made in North America were the power nozzles and electrified wands- maybe at Electrolux's assembly line in Juarez, Mexico. The final product may have been assembled in Bloomington - not sure. But none of these vacs were ever sold as Eurekas. The Eureka brandname was slapped on the Electrolux Oxygen canisters and uprights for a while, but those products were all made in Europe.
It's important to remember that outside the USA and Canada, the name Electrolux represented the original Swedish company for retailers and consumers all over the world for close to 100 years. Most of the world does not connect the name to the separate American vacuum company. | ||

Brian is correct, made in Hungary.
I think Jo might be confusing these with the canisters that used the same outfit as the Dirt Devil Tattoo series vacuums, which were also cloned for Riccar, Miele, Eureka, Simplicity, Kenmore, and so on. Those were just cheapo canisters made to fill a price point in the company's lineup. These Electrolux vacs are pretty heavy, they do not feel cheaply made at all.
