Electrolux EL5020A Intensity Upright Vacuum Cleaner

Appropriately named "Intensity", this upright vacuum cleaner picks up dirt, dust, and debris without the need to vacuum the same spot over and over again. Its 12 amp motor and direct airpath maximizes suction power--dirt travels just 3 inches to the bag instead of through long tubes and hoses, which can slow down performance. The unit's fingertip controls allow for selecting "on/off", "carpet", or "bare floors". In carpet mode, the cleaning head adjusts automatically to different carpet heights and uses the spinning brushroll for a deep-down clean; bare-floor mode stops the brushroll to protect bare-floor surfaces. In addition, the unit�s 12-inch-wide cleaning path with edge-cleaning brushes ensures fast results, while convenient performance indicator lights signify maximum suction, as well as when the bag or filter needs to be changed. Other highlights include an adjustable-height telescopic handle for comfortable use, a soft-touch grip, maneuverable handling for cleaning around furniture, soft wheels, HEPA filtration, and a 1-quart dust capacity for minimal bag changes, as well as a bi-fold handle and retractable 21-foot cord for compact storage that takes up less space in a closet than a laundry basket. The upright vacuum cleaner measures 17 by 12 by 14 inches when folded and carries a two-year warranty.
