Ultimate Bare Floor Cleaning

Combining an design with user-friendly features, this canister vacuum cleaner makes it easy to keep the home clean, from top to bottom. The portable unit maneuvers smoothly from room to room on two large wheels, and it transitions effortlessly from carpets and rugs to bare-floor surfaces like tile, linoleum, or hard wood. Simply slide the lever on the carpet/hard-floor nozzle into position--from "normal" to "brush".

For above-floor cleaning, the vacuum provides an array of on-board attachments including a telescopic tube, a hose and hose handle, a crevice tool, and a combination nozzle/brush for curtains, bookshelves, frames, and more. Other highlights include a high-efficiency motor, low noise output of only 60 DBA, a replaceable motor filter, and a bag-full indicator. This canister vacuum comes with a special foot-activated on and off button and a carrying handle. The adjustable suction power feature offers suction control on the vacuum cleaner as well as on the hose handle. When finished, a foot pedal rewinds the cord into the unit for compact storage. An ‘S dust bag’ comes included. The vacuum cleaner measures approximately 12.5 by 11 by 14 inches and carries a two-year limited warranty.

Designed with a healthier planet in mind, the vacuum cleaner's construction features 55-percent plastic from recycled materials, plus 80-percent of its packaging comes from recycled unbleached cardboard.

The Green Innovation

Through a product life-cycle approach, we know how much energy is consumed in manufacturing, during operation and at disposal. The Electrolux Ultrasilencer Green uses 33% less energy and is made with 55% recycled plastic. It illustrates the impact and potential benefits a smart vacuum cleaner can have on a consumer’s carbon footprint.

Energy savings and recycling rank highly as pro-climate activities in consumer research studies. The Electrolux Ultra-silencer Green meets the demand for energy efficiency and more sustainable material use. Without compromising quality, performance or noise, it presents:
• 33% greater energy efficiency
• 55% recycled plastic
An efficient suction fan unit combined with our Dust Magnet Floor Nozzle helps deliver the same performance in terms of dust pick-up with a lower wattage motor. Vacuum motors often waste energy by producing heat. Our 1,250W motor and nozzle produce comparable dust pick-up and little heat.

Production and Transport

With recycled material, we consume 90% less energy during manufacturing than is used to produce the same components with virgin plastics. By using 55% recycled PP content for the body of the vacuum, 2 liters of crude oil and 80 liters of water are saved per vacuum cleaner. Ultrasilencer Green is manufactured in Lehel, Hungary. Products are distributed from the plant by truck. Through its Green Spirit program, Lehel has a program in place to contribute to Group targets to reduce energy and water use.

Make Change for a Better Climate With the Ultrasilencer Green, we aim to change the perception that high wattage equates to greater cleaning performance, by promising the same cleaning effect with lower energy. ‘Make a change for a better climate’ communicates that smart purchasing choices can impact consumer carbon footprints.

The use phase represents about 75% of the product’s environmental impact. In its lifecycle, cutting energy used to operate the vacuum presents our greatest opportunity to save CO2. On average, a vacuum is used an hour a week and is expected to service a home for ten years. In its lifetime,
