Little Green Machines

When it comes to ultra-compact canister vacuums, Electrolux has a variety of quality models from which to choose. Several of these models include the Electrolux ErgoSpace, the Electrolux Ultra Silencer Green and the all-new Electrolux ErgoSpace Green.

Each of these compact canisters is designed expressly for the urban resident in compact living spaces. This series of canister vacuums (known as the Condo Series) includes features such as soft wheels, insulated motor and a low-noise floor nozzle, making them exceptionally quiet. Each of these efficient little units also include telescoping wands and above floor tool attachments for extensive reach in those tight places. All three machines make use of a washable HEPA filter that isolates 99.97% of dust and allergens.

Let’s take a closer look at the differences between these canisters.

Electrolux Ultra Silencer Green:

This is the base model in the series, which includes all the features described above. In addition, 55% of the plastic on this model is produced from recycled resources, and 80% of the packaging is also recycled.

Electrolux ErgoSpace:

The Electrolux ErgoSpace was created with the common characteristics described above, as well as a number of additional characteristics. These add-ons include an Ergoshock bumper to protect walls, Electronic Dust Bag Indicator that displays when the bag needs to be replaced, and a Versatile Aero tool that converts from dusting brush, to crevice tool to upholstery tool. This unit is not a “green” model like the Ultra Silencer, as it is not made from recycled materials.

Electrolux ErgoSpace Green:

This is the brand new Electrolux ErgoSpace Green model, which offers the best of both worlds with respect to the Electrolux ErgoSpace and Electrolux Ultra Silencer Green. This model includes all of the same features and functionality of the Electrolux ErgoSpace, but it is also constructed from recycled plastic and uses recycled packaging material.

This trio of Condo Series canisters is another great line of products from Electrolux. It’s great to see the designers getting on board with the cleanliness of our planet as well as our personal spaces.

Repairing you vacuum cleaner can be a difficult task if you have never don it before.  First you will need to diagnose the problem and determine what part that is broken.  This can be done by reviewing factory schematics and parts diagrams, which can aid you in pin pointing the broken part.  Sometimes it may be difficult to dissemble the vacuum cleaner and work on the major components. You will most likely consume more time your first time that a professional would, but you have the potential to save yourself hundreds of dollars by doing it yourself.  One thing you need to consider is, if your vacuum cleaner is still under warranty, you do not want to fix it yourself.  Fixing it on your own will void your warranty and it will be nearly impossible to get the part form the dealer for free to fix it on your own.  You are better off bringing your vacuum cleaner to the dealership and have them fix it for free if it’s still under warranty.  After you have determined that you vacuum is out of warranty you have to determined the broken part. The next task is trying to locate the exact vacuum parts that you are in need of.  First you will need to locate the model and type of vacuum cleaner you have.  This can be done by finding the factory service label on the back or bottom of the vacuum cleaner.  In some cases the model number is located inside the door where you put the bag.  If you have a central vacuum cleaner, the service label will be located on you power unit.  Now that you have your model number finding the right part should be easy, right?  This is not always the case, you will now need to find a authorized dealer that is permitted to sell the parts that you are in need of, or looking on eVacuumStore.com which is a dealer authorized for all major brands.   Now that you have found the corre vacuum part you will just need to put the vacuum cleaner back together the same way it came apart, and then test the performance.

Choosing Bags for Your New Electrolux Canister Vacuum

In the past few years, the design of the Electrolux canister vacuum has changed. Straying away from the original bullet shape, Electrolux's new canister vacuum cleaners have taken a more egg-shaped style. With these newly designed vacuum cleaners comes a new style of vacuum cleaner bags called the S-Bag. 

The new canister vacuum cleaners by Electrolux offer many new features that were not used in the older models. The Electrolux JetMaxx offers washable HEPA filtration with an automatic height adjustment on it's powerful Solaire power head. These new vacuum cleaners are also much quieter and more efficient than the older models. Most of these vacuums offer some of the distinct advantages of the old plastic and metal canister vacuums such as the 12-amp motor and automatic cord rewind.

The modern Electrolux canister vacuum is very versatile. Whether you suffer from allergies or asthma, have pets in the home, or just require a quality bag with high filtration efficiency, there is a unique vacuum cleaner bag designed for your needs. For a more standard, quality bag, use the S-Bag classic. This bag uses a 3-layer filtration system that is 90% efficient in removing dust and allergens. Another standard bag for your machine is the S-bag synthetic. This bag also offers a 3-layer filtration system in a bag that is less apt to rip or tear.


 

For more distinct needs there are specially designed bags for your vacuum. These include the S-Bag Clinic for allergies and asthma and the S-Bag Anti-Odour bags for users with pets in the home. The S-Bag clinic offers the highest filtration efficiency available in any vacuum cleaner bag at 99%. This filtration removes dust, dirt and allergens from the exhaust of your vacuum cleaner and traps them, keeping them from reentering the air of your home. Electrolux also offers the anti-odour bags that are effective in ridding your home of odors from pets as well as pet allergens and dander.

Each of these bags have their own distinct advantages. To determine which vacuum cleaner bags are right for you, I recommend buying the S-Bag Sampler pack which includes a package of each of these types of bags(a total of 17 bags). This is the best way to find out exactly which bags work best for your unique cleaning needs. If you have any more questions please contact our customer support team.

Take a walk down memory lane, back to the earliest days of the Electrolux Vacuum Family Tree. Though most of us didn't have the pleasure to witness these beautiful machines, the great-grandfathers of modern vacuuming, enter into the realm of the cleaning world for the first time, they made haste in showing the broom-and-dustpan fanatics that suction was the way of the future! When the Model V vacuum was introduced, Calvin Coolidge was the American President and the Roaring Twenties were in full swing! And in each American home, Electrolux vacuums were starting to appear through the front door as the newest addition to the nuclear family, the staple appliance to every wholesome household. As time went on and the vacuum evolved, the Electrolux name remained one of prestige and reliability.

Electrolux T8 Vacuum

Have you just moved out on your own and realized you've never used a vacuum in your life? Do you feel overwhelmed by all the intricate parts of a vacuum that you just want to quit altogether? Well, the new Electrolux EL4071A T8 Bagless Canister Vacuum should be the perfect fit for you. With its standard cleaning capability and easy-to-use functions, this vacuum is a the perfect starter. Let's start with the overall look and feel of the vacuum. With its sleek chrome telescopic wand and benign orange color, the T8 Bagless takes out any embarrassment one may have while cleaning. You won't pull a muscle carrying this vacuum up any stairs either, as its total weight is just 8.2 lbs.

Turning on this powerful 10 amp machine is a simple push of a button on the back of the canister; you can even use your foot, so there is no need to bend over and risk breaking a sweat. The average noise level is to be expected on this standard vacuum. The 6 ft. hose allows for easy access to any mess around your home without having to relocate to a different plug. Use the various attachments for more specific spots: the combination dusting brush and upholstery tool for cleaning pet hair and crumbs off delicate items such as drapes, chair legs, and lampshades;crevice tool for those hard to reach areas; and the low profile nozzle brush, which is able to clean hard-to-reach areas under furniture with its 1" size. The T8 Bagless also comes with the hard floor parquet brush for tile and hardwood floor. Each are simple and easy to use, especially the combination dusting brush and upholstery tool, which makes you feel like a wizard as you transform it with a simple flip and lock of some plastic.

With these attachments, you can now begin your reign of terror against the dust and allergens in your home. The Electrolux T8 Bagless uses allergen filtration to help in the fight against allergy and asthma symptoms. Paired with a 10 inch wide cleaning path, not only will your home be as clean as ever, but it will take even less time, giving you more time to enjoy dirtying it up again. The comfortable handle allows for an easy glide while cleaning. Its multi-cyclonic suction system allows for the T8 Bagless to never lose suction. The air vent slide control on the telescopic tube allows for a change in suction level for those more delicate surfaces.

As you finish your attack on dust, there is still little need to bend over. Once you unplug the machine, simply push the auto-cord rewind button and watch the cord effortlessly retract back into the vacuum. Releasing the dust cup from the base is done with a simple push, while the top opens by releasing two clips and squeezing the top. One flaw to the bagless dust cup is the eventual backlash of dust that comes with opening a full dust cup. Be sure to perform this duty over the trash so it doesn't go on your now-clean floor. While going bagless is not the best idea for easy cleanup or allergies, it is beneficial for those who wish to cut costs on buying bags.

You will never lose an attachment again with the ability to attach each part to the base with the tool caddy. To do this, attach the combination dusting brush and upholstery tool to the telescopic wand and then attach the wand to the base with the tool caddy. While this causes the vacuum to take up the same amount of space as an upright, it is a small price to pay for convenience.

With a base price of $249.99, the Electrolux EL4071A T8 Bagless Canister Vacuum is both affordable and practical for those on a budget. Unsure of the durability because of the low cost? The T8 Bagless comes with a 5-year warranty, which should reassure any doubts anyone may have about how this will perform for them. Overall, this vacuum gives standard cleaning power with easy-to-learn controls that makes even a beginner feel as though they can accomplish anything.

eVacuumStore.com Exclusive Electrolux Vacuum: UltraCaptic

$

Today, many bagless canister vacuums lack at least one of several points: it lacks suction; the parts easily break; the dust flies everywhere during the emptying process; the belts always snap; it’s basically disposable.  Electrolux questioned users about what they did not like in bagless models and designed the UltraCaptic to answers their concerns.

The UltraCaptic features a premium power head with motorized brush roll, multiple height settings and a brushroll on/off switch built in to the unit.  This allows the user to raise or lower the power head to fit their carpet height(s) maximizing agitation and airflow to remove embedded dirt, sand, and particles that otherwise shred and destroy fibers.  The brush roll off switch easily transitions the power head from carpeting or rugs to hardwood/bare surfaces without the fear of damaging or marring the floors.

The Compact-and-Go dust cup revolutionizes bagless cyclonic technology by means of 10 separate turbines spinning in conjunction with each other efficiently removing the large clumps of dirt from your carpet.  The turbines also separate the ultra-fine particles down to .03 microns into a HEPA filtration system.  Once filled, simply lift the handle and the unique and innovative dust cup compresses the dirt into a pancake.  Bring this over your trash, press a button and slide the receptacle bottom open in one motion and the cake drops.  This design means that less dirt stays stuck on the walls of the receptacle and debris does not fly off into the air like other bagless models.

The UltraCaptic also comes with a swiveling hardwood floor brush, a deluxe rug and floor tool, and a premium 3-in-1 transformative tool.  The 3-in-1 switches from dusting brush to crevice tool to upholstery tool and back in three easy movements.  Open the crevice tool to make it upholstery, close it again and place the narrow nose into the hose to use the opposite side’s dusting brush.  The rug and floor tool switches between bare floors and area rugs with a foot’s tap while the hardwood brush’s soft bristles unsettle dirt in the cracks of your bare surfaces.  View the Electrolux Bagless Canister Vacuum here.

eVacuumStore.com is the exclusive authorized online retailer of the Electrolux Preferred Line canister vacuums including the EL7070 UltraOne and the EL7066 UltraSilencer Delux.  Both genuine Electrolux vacuums have premier attachments for an easier cleaning experience.  Both vacuums also use high quality S-level filtration bags as well as HEPA filters providing 99.97% efficiency against particles down to .03 microns.

The UltraOne and UltraSilencer share many similarities as the top two Electrolux canister vacuums including: ergonomic handles, crushproof hoses, and a superior power nozzle.  Users control the suction level on the handle as well as turning the brush roll on and off.  The UltraOne features an automatic suction setting that caters to the surface in question.  The machines use the same power nozzle which comes with height adjustment.  If you own an Oriental rug or thick pile carpet, then you need a power nozzle with height adjustment.

For hardwood floors or bare surfaces (tile, laminate, etc), the vacuums come with a hardwood floor brush.  This attachment has soft bristles to never scratch or damage hardwood floors, but rather to sweep up dust and dirt lying in the cracks wearing away slowly at the surface dulling its shine and vibrancy.

While you clean, you never need to worry about disturbing anyone in your home.  As the name implies, the UltraSilencer is one of the quietest machines available today operating at under 67 decibels.  This low volume allows users to run the machine while others sleep.   The UltraOne, although slightly louder, runs at roughly 72 decibels which is still silent enough to vacuum while people sleep or rest.

The UltraOne boasts two features over the UltaSilencer.  The design in which the hose enters the canister optimizes airflow; the debris enters the canister horizontally providing unmatched suction power as opposed to dust entering at an angle seen in the UltraSilencer.  The UltraOne also has a larger dust capacity requiring a long lasting S-class bag reducing the number of replacements necessary to continue running.

eVacuumstore.com stands as an exclusive online retailer of the Electrolux vacuums in the Preferred Line.  These superior machines make cleaning worries a matter of the past and keep a hopeful future possible with seven (7) year warranties.  To help determine which vacuum suits your needs, call the Electrolux experts at eVacuumStore.com today at 866-972-8227 and find your way to the ideal canister.

Fix of the Week: Changing the Bags and Filters on an Electrolux Canister Vacuum

Did you know your new Electrolux canister vacuum not only has a bag, but also a motor filter and a HEPA filter?  If you are like many other customers, you may not realize the differences between the motor filter and the HEPA filter and how or when to replace them.  No need to worry, however, because after today you’ll be a pro at keeping your vacuum running smoothly.

The Electrolux HEPA filter eliminates harmful particles down to .03 microns from your home (for comparison, the average human hair’s diameter is 100 microns).  If you or anyone in your family suffers from allergies, this filter aids in the reduction of nasal irritation.  Electrolux HEPA filters come in three variations: disposable (green), washable (blue), and anti-odor (grey).

To replace your Electrolux HEPA filter, begin by looking towards the back of the vacuum.

Electrolux EL7063 Canister Rear View

Located on the HEPA door are two button latches.  Hold these down and gently let the door open.

Electrolux EL7063 HEPA Filter Buttons

Remove the current HEPA filter and replace it with a new one.   Lift the door back into the closed position; it will click to lock.

Electrolux EL7063 HEPA Filter

Next, you can replace the bag and the motor filter simultaneously.  The motor filter removes harmful particles from entering the motor helping keep it cool.  If you do not change your motor filter or run the vacuum without one, it guarantees the motor burning out much faster.

First, remove the bag holder and bag from the interior of the canister (we’ll get to those in just a moment).

Electrolux EL7063 Bag Holder

You’ll see a door latch housing the motor filter.

Electrolux EL7063 Motor Filter Door

Open this door and remove the old motor filter and insert a new one.

Electrolux EL7063 Motor Filter

Close the door and check that off your list.

Lastly, you address the bag.  All new style Electrolux canister vacuums use the Style S Electrolux vacuum bags.   Electrolux Style S vacuum bags come in several models: EL200 (paper), EL201 (synthetic long performance), EL202 (anti-allergy), EL203 (anti-odor, good for pet owners), EL211 (ultra long performance synthetic).  For this demonstration, we’ll look at the EL201 synthetic long life Style S bag.

We’ve already removed the bag holder, so next remove the old bag by grabbing the cardboard tab and pulling it out.

EL7063 S Bag Removal

Next, grab the new Style S bag to go into the vacuum.

Electrolux EL201 Style S Bag

On the cardboard tab, you will see two latch holes.  These correspond directly with two latches on the bag holder.  Slide the bag tab through the threading of the bag holder and make sure the latches go into the two openings on the tab.

Electrolux EL201 Bag Tabs

Place the bag holder with the new bag back into the housing in the canister.  Close the lid and you can resume cleaning your home knowing your motor and air are better for the replacements.

You should change the motor filter approximately every 3-6 months, depending on how often you vacuum and how heavy the jobs are.  Your vacuum comes with a bag full light, so you just need to pay attention to that as to when to replace the Style S bag.  The HEPA filter lasts an estimated 8-12 months, again depending on your cleaning frequency and how intensely your allergies act up.  Changing out the filters ensures the longevity of your Electrolux canister vacuum and the health of your home.

Start by assembling the vacuum, the new cordwinder, a putty knife, and a rubber hammer or mallet.



First, open the bag door of the vacuum.



Turn the vacuum on its side and locate the rubber coated bumpers.  Place the putty knife between the bumper and the hard plastic of the canister.



Next, tap the butt end of the putty knife with your mallet to move the bumper down the rail.



Once you have both bumpers off, remove the back cover and you can now open the canister in a clam shell fashion.



Turn the vacuum upside down for easy access.



Locate the old cordwinder at the back of the canister vacuum.



Take note of the contacts.  Here is a shot of the first contact.



This is the second.



Remove the cordwinder from the old contacts; view below for visual demonstration.



Remove the old cordwinder and be sure to guide the plug through the opening.



Once the old cordwinder is out of the plastic canister vacuum, insert the new Electrolux cordwinder in its place and reconnect the contacts.  Put the top and bottom halves of the canister back together.  Replace the back cover.  Guide the bumpers along the rails.  Once finished, plug the new cord into an outlet and watch as the vacuum springs to life again.

If you have any questions, view our blog post on How to Replace an Electrolux Cordwinder.  You can also call our toll free number (866)-972-8227 to speak with a live associate to help you with technical troubleshooting.

Fix of the Week: How to Change and Electrolux Control Valve

$

First, open the canister.  Visit our blog to learn How to Open an Electrolux Plastic Canister.

Order a new Electrolux Control Valve




Once the Electrolux vacuum rails are off, remove the back cover.




Turn the vacuum upside down so the wheels point towards the ceiling; remove the bottom cover.



Locate one of the three tubes that connect to the control valve.



Disconnect this tube from the control valve by pulling.



Keep track of this tube as it reattaches to the new valve.



Remove the bag chamber to reveal the control valve.



Remove the control valve from the housing.



We recommend using a pair or pliers to pry the tubes off of the old control valve to avoid damage.
Be sure to note where each tube went on the control valve.  If you cross the tubes, you reverse the airflow of the control valve and the vacuum will tell you the bag is full and/or there is an issue.



Keep track of the two tubes you just removed. Its best to remove one tube at a time and then connect it to the new control valve.



Note where the slot is on the control valve housing.



Note where the peg is on the new control valve.



Align the peg on the control valve with the slot in the housing and attach the new valve.  A loud click occurs when it seats properly.



Reattach the tubes and assemble the vacuum back together.

There are countless Electrolux models of all styles, ranging from canisters and uprights, to stick vacuums and central vacuums.  Over time, service may be needed, and new vacuum parts may be required.  In order to properly approach either of these topics, locating the model number is a crucial first step.

On Electrolux Upright Vacuums:
The model number for Electrolux Uprights is most commonly located on the back of the handle or on the bottom of the machine.  Older upright models generally start with the letter "U," followed by three numbers, while newer uprights start with the letters "EL," followed by up to four numbers.

On Electrolux Stick Vacuums:
There are a wide variety of stick vacuum cleaners from this brand, the majority of which have a 2-in-1 function which includes a removable hand vacuum.  The model number for these machines can be found on the back of the handheld portion, and will start with the letters "EL."

On Older Electrolux Canister Vacuums (long body style):
Locating the model number on plastic and metal tank-style Electrolux vacuums is very straightforward.  Simply open up the area where you normally replace the bags and look on the inside of the door itself.  The model number should be listed directly on it, and is most commonly four digits long.  However, on much older machines, the model number may be a single letter located on the bag door hinge; for example, model E, AE, S AF, R, G and L.  Another thing to look out for on older metal machines is a rubber gasket.  Sometimes this piece can obstruct the model number.  If you find you're unable to locate the model number, just move the rubber gasket out of the way, and it should be right beneath it.  On the tank-style plastic machines, there are commonly model names and series names, such as the 6500SR, which can also prove helpful when searching for compatible parts.

On Newer Electrolux Canister Vacuums (compact body style):
The model number for the newer, compact machines is located on the belly of the canister.  This number should start with the letters "EL" and have four digits that follow.  In addition to the model number, there is also a type letter, which is important to have when looking for parts, because some components can be model AND type specific.

On Electrolux Central Vacuum Systems:
Owners of an Electrolux central vacuum will find the model number located on the side of the canister.  Sometimes this number can be difficult to locate depending on the angle in which the unit was installed, but the side is most commonly where it can be found.  In some cases, knowing the model name of the unit can be helpful as well; an example would be the Afeura, or the QuietClean.  Some of the most common Electrolux central vacuum model numbers are 1580, 1590, E130 (with a letter after it), PU3650 and PU3900.  When it comes to central vacuums, it is also crucial to know the model number of the powerhead.  The powerhead is the attachment used to clean carpets, and the model number can be found on the bottom of it.  Locating the model number of the powerhead is important because it provides information on the type of hose and attachments currently being used with a central vacuum system.  The model of the system itself does not always directly correlate to the attachments, but the model of the power nozzle does.

On Electrolux Power Nozzles:
The model number of Electrolux power nozzles is located on the bottom of the attachment.  Older style Electrolux vacuums commonly had model numbers starting with the letters "PN" followed by a number from one to seven, however there are exceptions such as models N137 and N106, which vary in style.  Newer style power nozzles commonly start with the letters "EL," with popular models including EL5A, EL7A and EL12A.  Knowing the model of the powerhead is vital for locating component parts, and is essential for central vacuum owners, as mentioned above.
