Electrolux Debuts World’s First Green Vacuum Cleaner

airmax

In the market for a new vacuum cleaner? It might be worth checking out Electrolux’s new AirMAX Öko— the world’s first green vacuum. While most vacuum cleaners use 2 kW of power, the AirMAX consumes only 1.25 kW.

Despite the low energy profile, Electrolux claims that its vacuum has serious suction power due to high-performance fans and uniquely designed dust bags and floor brushes.

The AirMAX gets bonus points for being made up of 55 percent recycled materials. And at $270, it won’t hurt your bank account too much.

I doubt that the AirMAX can clean carpets with the gusto of my early 1990’s Eureka model, but its low carbon footprint makes it mighty attractive.

  1. So for $300 you get a vacuum that consumes 30% less power.. or you could just take your shoes off before you enter the house and you’d have to vacuum 30% less frequently, for FREE..

  2. Looks and sounds great.

  3. Actually, it is EXCELLLLENT quality and gets everything off the ground. I also loved the useful swivel head. I used my step-sisters all the way over in Sweden. I live in Washington D.C. and am now considering getting it.
