Eco Factor: Energy-efficient vacuum cleaner made from recycled materials.
Electrolux is out to make the best use of old plastic by developing an energy-efficient vacuum cleaner from it. The Electrolux Ultra Silencer Green is made from 55% recycled plastic, with a newly designed high-efficiency motor that reduces its power consumption by 33%. Since the vacuum cleaner is made from recycled plastic, the only color available is black.
For those of you who want love to see appliances in your favorite color, you’ll have to sacrifice some of its ecofriendly credentials and will be able to buy the same vac in red, but this won’t be made from recycled materials. This new range of vacuum cleaners will be outfitted with an energy-efficient 1250 watt motor that along with a newly designed nozzle, promises top notch cleaning. These silent machines emit just 71 dB, which is 7 dB less than other cleaners available on the market today.
The Dark Side:
We do respect the efforts of Electrolux, but developing a colored vacuum cleaner is no answer to not using recycled plastic.
