Panasonic Introduces JetTurn Vacuum Cleaner Lineup

Panasonic today announces its new JetTurn line of vacuum cleaners which feature a unique swivel nozzle that makes steering around furniture and other tight areas in the home, simple and smooth. With the ability to maneuver quickly, and weighing just 15 pounds, the Panasonic JetTurn vacuum makes cleaning more efficient. Furthermore, the JetTurn vacuum can lay flat, making it possible to clean hard-to-reach places, such as underneath a bed, coffee table or other low-clearance objects in a home.

A colorful and attractive addition to the home, the Panasonic JetTurn is available in a teal model MC-UL810 and a green model MC-UL815, both of which feature an automatic cord reel so storage is neat and compact. The JetTurn is Panasonic’s lightest upright vacuum cleaner, but that does not mean it compromises on performance or power. While it is lightweight enough to easily carry from room-to-room, the Panasonic JetTurn features a 12-amp motor to provide a powerful suction to easily pick up dirt and lint. Plus, the bagless cyclonic system helps prevent suction loss as it has a washable filter and a convenient bottom-drop dust cup that is easy to clean and remove…

Electrolux Introduces Green Ergorapido Vacuums

Since Electrolux launch of instant cleaner Ergorapido in 2004, the product has been a success among consumers. Ergorapido is a slender elegant instant vacuum cleaner for when the consumer doesn’t want to, or has to unfold a full size vacuum cleaner. Electrolux has now developed a Green range version of its popular instant cleaner.

Ergorapido solves small vacuum needs instantly, complementing the bigger vacuum cleaner that you might use once per week or every two weeks. Instead of ignoring the bread crumbs waiting for the big weekly cleaning, it is easy to quickly take them away. The practical handheld can reach anywhere, even small corners or the car.

Ergorapido has also set a new aesthetic standard for vacuum cleaners with its sleek elegant look and color collections, which make it a natural part of your home rather than something that needs to be hidden. Its design has been acknowledged in many international competitions and awarded numerous prizes and distinctions. These include the prestigious Red Dot Design Award 2008 and IF 2008 Design Award.

Electrolux Introduces New Stylish Colors For Its Ergospace Lengthy Reach Vacuum Cleaner

With product benefits such as 13 meters of extra long reach, sporty details and a compact shape for extraordinarily easy storage no wonder Electrolux Ergospace vacuum cleaner is so popular. The vacuum cleaner is also available in a Green range version and now it is time for a color update.

With Ergospace you don’t have to worry about the cord not being long enough or about interruptions when moving between rooms. A nine meter long cord saves you the hassle of having to unplug and plug in, and the long hose enables you to reach up the stairs or areas that are hard to reach. In other words, you get more cleaning capacity in just one plug in. The cleaner itself however is remarkably small and easily fits in the smallest storage space.

The Ergospace design is characterized by Ergoshock, a smart bumper and storage tool. The bumper prevents the vacuum cleaner from bumping against furniture, walls or door frames. When you are done vacuuming you use the elastic bumper for storing the hose. Not only is this practical and takes less space, it also gives your vacuum cleaner a cool look.

Ergospace will now be available in eight new colors. The colors have been selected by the Electrolux design team…

Miele Introduces The New S5 Libra Hepa Vacuum

Just in time for the fall allergy season, Miele introduces the Libra vacuum in a hot new mango red color. Proven in scientific tests to outperform other HEPA vacuums, the unique Sealed System™ technology, AirClean™ Filter-bag™ and certified HEPA filter found in the Libra make Miele the popular choice for allergy and asthma sufferers nationwide. It’s a little known industry fact that consumers may be at risk as improperly constructed vacuums spew micro particles into the air as they “clean.”

“It’s counterintuitive to think that your HEPA vacuum cleaner may actually be making your home dirtier while you clean,” states Paul McCormack, spokesperson for Miele. According to a recent scientific study commissioned by Miele and conducted by Interbasic Resources, (IBR), a nationally recognized product research laboratory, new evidence proves that not all HEPA vacuums do what they say.

“In fact many leading name brands spew out 2-14 million lung damaging particles per minute into the air actually making your ‘clean’ house an environmental hazard…
