Superior suction power with enhanced maneuverability

With powerful suction and a deep clean power head to deliver superior pickup, the Electrolux Ultra Active Deep Clean canister vacuum has the ability to clean all flooring surfaces. It’s true cyclonic separation and the easy to empty dust cup offers bagless convenience by eliminating the need to purchase replacement bags.

This canister vacuum is equipped with two motors, one for suction and another to agitate your carpets. This delivers powerful suction and the enhanced technology allows the vacuum to pick up dirt and allergens from your carpets. It gives the benefit of using the deep clean power nozzle featuring carpet height adjustment allowing you with the option to customize the height to match your needs.

With superior maneuverability, the Electrolux Deep Clean Ultra Active allows easy access to hard to reach areas, by swiveling 180 degrees with ease. This vacuum includes a safety cut off power option if an object gets caught up in the deep clean nozzle, which can easily be reset by pressing a reset button located on the power nozzle.

Its sleek design includes fingertip controls for enhancing convenience while vacuuming. The ergo shock cord works as a furniture guard and then doubles up as a hose wrap, making this portable vacuum easy to transport.

The Electrolux Ultra Active Deep Clean EL4300A comes with a washable HEPA filter which is installed in the rear of the unit under the top cover. This HEPA filter is 99.97% effective at removing dust and allergens 0.3 microns and larger.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Electrolux I own, January 13, 2011

By

I had Electrolux EL6989A Oxygen Ultra for five and a half years and I liked it; however the quality of the wand wasn't as good so it was time to replace it (even tho I could just replace the wand since vacuum still working). So I got Dyson DC33 and after 2 days of use it went back to the store - it's a complete failure if you used to canister :)
After that I decided to pull the trigger on Electrolux UltraActive. I couldn't find any reviews on it; I was only able to find specs and based on that it has more power 2100W vs 1400w in my old one, and also new design for the wand and motorized brush head.
So I placed an order on kohls.com and after I got it I was pretty surprised how good it is with a few quirks :)
Pros:
- It's much quieter than my old Electrolux vacuum
- New updated design of the wand and brush head seems more durable
- It doesn't use bags (it's bagless vacuum)
- It is way more powerful than the old one
Quirks:
- After you push the power button - it takes a second or so for it to turn on - at first I kept pressing power and thought it was broken, but it is just the way it works. Press it once and it will start. I had to get used to it, but it's not a big deal.
- Because it is so powerful, when I set it to the Max power the cover of the hepa filter kept popping up first couple of times, but after that I figured how to lock it in place so now it's fine.
I haven't find any cons and I like it very much. It is very compact, nice looking vacuum with good maneuverability and power. Everything you need from the vacuum cleaner.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent vacuum cleaner, October 2, 2011

We wanted to replace our 10 year old upright. I did a lot of research and am very glad I picked this vacuum. We needed a compact vacuum that was good on hardwood floors, area rugs and wall to wall carpet. Also, a hepa filter for my allergic dog. This is a powerful vacuum, I could not believe the dirt we got up that our old vacuum was missing. You can turn off the beater bar on the handle when going from carpet to hardwood or to save the fringe on rugs. It also has a nice big floor brush for hardwood and tile. If you suck up a shoelace or cord it shuts off immediatly to save your belt. The bagless dirt cup is very easy to empty. The length of the wand is adjustable for people of different heights. It's very light and easy to maneuver. It has slow start technology which is better for the motor, so it appears to hesitate when turned on. But, do not accidently pick up the vacuum by the dirt cup handle as it will fall with a crash. Another nice feature is the handle pivots flat to vacuum under beds and furniture. We've had this vacuum about six weeks and it's the best I've ever used.

This is a great vac. I have used Kenmore for ages, but decided to give this one a try because I was not happy with the quality of my last one. The Electrolux works great, excellent suction, and no bags to replace...I've only had it for 2 weeks but it's a five star item for sure!
