This Electrolux Canister vacuum is in excellent mechanical condition and runs as good as the day it was manufactured. Even though this vacuum ran perfect and did not need it, before we sell any Electrolux Vacuum, we have our service department completely go through it and give it a 30-point inspection and service, replace any worn parts, and professionally clean it. Electrolux Canisters are very durable, easy to use (excellent and getting around and under furniture), and powerful. They are very easy to use and work great on hardwood or carpet.
