Electrolux UltraSilencer Green Canister Vacuum Cleaner Review
Article by Greg Davey
The Electrolux UltraSilencer Green is a canister style vacuum cleaner with emphasis on being a “green product” by using recycled plastic for the construction of the vacuum and recycled unbleached cardboard for the packaging. It features a high efficiency 9 amp motor with Electrolux’s UltraSilencer Green producing only 60DBA of noise and as well as adjustable suction control on the unit and on the hose handle. The compact canister has two large wheels which help it move easily from room to room. The “normal” and “brush” lever makes it easy to switch from a carpeted surface to hard surface flooring. For cleaning hard to reach spots in the house the vacuum features several attachments including a telescopic tube, hose with handle, crevice tool and a nozzle/brush combo. The replaceable motor filter helps keep dust from the motor and the bag-full indicator alerts you when you need to empty the vacuum. For convenience the 21 foot cord retracts into the unit by depressing a foot pedal.

Electrolux UltraSilencer Green Vacuum Reviews
We found an average rating of 4 1/2 out of 5 stars for the Electrolux UltraSilencer Green Canister Vacuum Cleaner. All owners of this product commented how light weight and quite this vacuum is and how the build quality is outstanding. This vacuum is very easy to maneuver with the two large wheels on the canister and the adjustable motor speed is smooth and convenient. There is also a handy slot on the canister body where you can park the handle for easy storage. Many owners stated the Electrolux UltraSilencer Green canister vacuum it is a great vacuum for any type of hard flooring surface as well as perfect for cleaning valuable low-pile Persian rugs without damaging them with a beater brush.
We did find some negative comments mainly focusing on the fact that the Electrolux UltraSilencer Green Vacuum is not very good for wall to wall or plush carpeting. Without a powered brushbar the suction of the vacuum makes it difficult move around on carpeting. You can lower the suction power to help reduce the friction but them to cleaning power is also diminished. A few other negatives are the replacement bags can be expensive and there is no way to attach the extra attachments to the vacuum so they can get lost easily. The Electrolux UltraSilencer Green vacuum had many positive reviews and we recommend it if you have mostly hard flooring surfaces in your house with only a few low pile throw rugs and you are looking for a quiet canister style vacuum. On the other hand if you have wall to wall carpet or several large long pile area rugs you are probably better looking at one of the upright vacuums instead.
