The Electrolux EL4040AZ JetMaxx Green is Electrolux’s eco-friendly vacuum cleaner with a power brush. The JetMaxx is constructed from 55% post consumer recycled plastics which saves on average 90% of the water and 80-90% of the energy consumed when producing virgin plastics. Additional “green” features of this vacuum include a washable HEPA filter, dust bag made from corn starch, and reduced wattage which has been implemented without a significant loss of suction or pickup, thanks to Electrolux’s high performance airflow design.
Pluses:
When we tested the JetMaxx vacuum cleaner for exhaust filtration efficiency, our particle counter showed 0 particles escaping through the filter; some of the best filtration results we have seen.
The Electrolux EL4040AZ JetMaxx vacuum cleaner has the ability to clean all carpet and bare floor types thanks to an auto height-adjusting power brush and natural bristle bare floor brush.
The power controls for the Electrolux EL4040AZ JetMaxx Green vacuum cleaner are located on the handle for easy access and convenience to turn the vacuum on and control the brush roller for the power head.
Reviewers loved how the wand has a step-on release button for removing the power brush. This made changing to the bare floor brush a breeze.
True to its eco-friendly design, the Electrolux EL4040AZ JetMaxx Green vacuum cleaner uses a washable HEPA filter which will last for 2-3 years and biodegradable dust bags made from corn starch and other natural materials.
A 21 foot power cord and additional 12 feet of reach from the wand and hose offers a large cleaning radius of 32 feet. This will help prevent the need to change power outlets each time you enter a new room.
Included with the Electrolux EL4040AZ JetMaxx vacuum cleaner is a free handheld power brush for pet hair, stairs and more – an $80 value!
A generous 5 year warranty protects your investment.
Minuses:
The power brush is self-propelled which made moving back and forth very easy, but the power brush was found to be a bit difficult to turn. We believe that this observation is due our comparison to other vacuums using a swivel design for easier maneuverability.
We were surprised that Electrolux EL4040AZ JetMaxx Green vacuum cleaner was on the noisy side. It’s louder noise level can most likely be attributed to its modest green construction, which doesn’t use the extra materials and foam padding that is found in other models.
The crevice tool is short with only a 4 inch reach which made it more difficult to reach down into deep, narrow spaces.
The upholstery tool not stored on board.
Dust bags have a small capacity of 2 quarts.
Summary:
The Electrolux EL4040AZ JetMaxx Green vacuum cleaner would be ideal for a home with a mix of carpets, bare floors and area rugs. Its power brush is designed to work on a variety of carpet types and the bare floor brush has natural bristles to gentle sweep hard wood or parquet flooring without scratching. We really appreciate the inclusion of a well designed handheld power brush, which is just perfect for removing pet hair from furniture and cleaning stairs. At just $399.99, this vacuum’s impressive features and impeccable particle filtration make the Electrolux JetMaxx an incredible buy for anyone looking for a value-priced vacuum that performs as well as much higher priced models.
