Oxygen Ultra was designed to help turn your home into a clean haven. After using the Oxygen Ultra the only thing left behind is a fresh, clean house. The quality washable HEPA H13 filter captures nearly 100% of dust and allergens and the cleaner is completely sealed to keep all the dust away from you and your family. Only clean air comes out. In addition, the Oxygen Ultra uses a superior, self-closing, s-bag Clinic so that you never have to see the dust again.

The unique, power-head system has a separate motor that drives it, giving Oxygen Ultra maximum cleaning performance. Oxygen Ultra has a durable brush roll and long-life belt to extend the life of the vacuum and leave you with deep-cleaned carpets.

Maintaining your vacuum can be simple. Oxygen Ultra has an electronic filter indicator that shows you when it's time to rinse your filter and an electronic bag-change indicator that lets you know that it is time to replace your bag. No other canister is easier to maintain than the Oxygen Ultra.

With the help of Oxygen Ultra's controls on the handle, cleaning has never been easier. Height adjustment and variable speed controls allow you even greater ease when moving between carpet and hard-floor surfaces. Premium accessories like the hard-floor tool, turbo nozzle for cleaning stairs and rugs, power head for cleaning carpets, and on-board tools for above-the-floor cleaning provide all the options for specialized cleaning. The Oxygen Ultra can clean almost anything so home can be a haven for a healthy life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Size does not matter, its the magic that it produces, November 17, 2007

By	Brian F. Pereia "Brian P" (Danville, CA. USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is by far the best vacuum around for the money. Let me tell you, this little Ultra can suck big time. I had built a vacuum pressure gauge device to measure suction power while shopping for a new vacuum and this little unit measured the most powerful in its class and price category. Other canisters did not even measure up! I compared Kenmore, Dyson and the everyday store brands. I got 150vp on this unit compared to the others which could not get past 50vp. I was very impressed and purchased it right away. A year later as I write this I am not disappointed. I have a cat and dog which like to shed and needed a new vacuum that could really suck the beegees out of the carpet and furniture. Let me tell you, to get the biggest suck for your buck, this is THE vacuum! It is very easy to move around and light to carry around the house when doing stairs and furniture. It is also extremely quiet when running. Did I mention how powerful the suction power is and isn't that the objective for a vacuum? The power floor head is good on carpets and has adjustable pile height. The only con is the tools don't all store on the unit directly and the bag is not that large so it requires changing often. But I can live with that in exchange for the power! I have the power!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful for this Arthritis Sufferer; Great Service, December 15, 2007

By	No-Nonsense Mommy (Tyngsborough, MA USA) - See all my reviews

Just received this vacuum two days ago, so I haven't a lot of time to put it through its paces yet. But I was extremely pleased with how fast it arrived (four days after the order) and its condition - it looks brand new. There was a bag and filter already installed, it was ready to go.

Because I have inflammatory arthritis in both hands, it was really imperative for me to find a lightweight, maneuverable vacuum that was easy for *me* to operate. My upright vacuum was just murder on my hands - it was too heavy, hard to steer and required me to grip harder than was comfortable to control it. Not so with this vacuum. Because the powerhead self-propels, it requires much less hand strength, which extremely helpful. The powerhead is very zippy, it just about pulls you along with it. It requires more effort to draw it back towards you than to push it forward - that's how much get up and go this thing has. Pulling the unit back doesn't put as much stress on my hands as pushing my old vac forward did, so I still consider this a big improvement. The maneuverability with the powerhead takes a little getting used to, and I'm still getting used to it, so I can specifically comment on it yet.

When using the bare floor attachment, it's extremely easy on my hands/joints. The wand & attachment are light and easy to maneuver without my hands cramping up. This would likely be true of any canister vacuum, I suppose.

The tools attach and detach easily (again,easier on the arthritic hands) and the filter and bag panels open easily as well. The handle is great for carrying the unit upstairs, and it isn't too heavy. The one complaint I would have about the handle is that twice when I've picked it up by the handle, the canister itself swings up vertically and bashes my knuckles - yow! After the second time I've learned to be a little more mindful of how I pick it up.

As for the cleaning power, I'm very impressed at the job it did on our carpets, bare floors and carpeted stairs. The carpet actually *felt different* underfoot after I'd gone over it with the powerhead. Even with socks on, it felt like a different carpet. It was frightening to see how fast the bag filled up and realize how much our old upright wasn't doing the job!

So I'm extremely pleased with it so far, even more so that we got such a great deal on a reconditioned product. I'll update this again later if we run into any problems, or if it continues to perform above or beyond expectations.
