Customer reviews

I was expecting quiet but this thing is simply amazing! That’s very good, indeed, because we wanted to stop scaring the cat on cleaning day. Brian (our sweet kitty) doesn’t run and hide from this vacuum. I recommend the Electrolux wholeheartedly. It’s also maneuverable, lightweight and has excellent power.
We have had a variety of high end vacuum cleaners and still always had issues cleaning our tile flooring well, especially with dog hair! Now that we moved into a home with primarily hardwood and tile flooring we were in search of a vacuum that could handle these surfaces well. We tested this vacuum at our local Lowe’s and instantly fell in love. It is hands down the best vacuum for hard flooring and dog/pet owners. We can’t say enough good things about it!

Our advice :

As most canister vacuum cleaners, the Electrolux UltraSilencer EL6986A is more efficient on hard floors and low pile carpets. This model is silent and yet powerful enough to do a good job, and as an additional bonus has a low power consumption.

      Hi,

      The bags used for the Electrolux Ultrasilencer are S-bags Classic, which can be found on Amazon.

      The filter reference is EL012B. It is sometimes included with packs of bags.

      Best regards,

    Where can I buy the Ultra Silencer Vacuum. I can’t seem to find it. My cleaning service uses one and it’s fantastic.
