Hey guys....came home from work today to find my weekly flyer from our Canadian Tire chain of stores. To my surprise, I found them selling the first Electrolux canister I have ever seen at this chain. It's a white and hot pink power nozzle version of Volta's CycloneXL sold in Europe (Volta is an Electrolux company). They are calling this CycloneXL the Versatility Canister here on this side of the ocean. It seems to only be available in Canada - see the link below to the Canadian Electrolux website. While I'm on the topic of Electrolux in Canada - I am sooooo disappointed that they have discontinued sales of the Oxygen3 Upright here!!!! This is such a cool and beautifully-designed vac.....and was very highly rated for carpet cleaning and "ease of use" in Consumer Reports when it was first introduced on the market a few years ago. For some strange reason, it is no longer listed in Consumer Reports ratings for uprights, and it is no longer shown on the Canadian website. It used to be available at Sears Canada - but I no longer see it in the stores. It is still being shown on the US website though. Has this upright been discontinued? Why - what problems were users having with it? Anyone know? CLICK HERE TO GO TO eurekaprince's LINK |

Disappointed to hear that the Oxygen 3 is gone. Kept hoping that would be around. AS it looked like a great useable machine. Then if it has a high rate of repair and cost, not for me !! Norm |

You are correct! So this is the third version of the same basic machine, give or take a power nozzle: Volta CycloneXL, Electrolux Versatility, Eureka Whirlwind. Wonder if there are other versions for other Electrolux brandnames like AEG or Progress in Germany...... It's amazing how you can now get the same vacuum almost anywhere in the world - especially in the case of the Electrolux Oxygen canister and all the Dysons. |
