Electrolux Ultimate800 Canister Vacuum Cleaner

What dustbags does the Electrolux Ultimate800 use?

The Ultimate800 EHVS80W5AG uses Electrolux s-bag® dustbags with a 2.9L capacity. The s-bag features a self-sealing closure that locks dust and allergens inside when you remove the bag — no mess, no dust cloud. Replacement s-bags are available at eVacuumStore and ship with your order or separately as a subscription. eVacuumStore stocks genuine Electrolux s-bags; we recommend against off-brand bags as they may not seal correctly and can compromise HEPA filtration performance.

How often do I need to change the bag and HEPA filter?

The LED digital display on the handle monitors both bag fill level and filter health and alerts you when a change is needed — so you don't have to guess. For average household use, the 2.9L s-bag typically lasts 1–3 months depending on your home size and cleaning frequency. The HEPA exhaust filter should be replaced annually under normal use, or when the display indicates it's time. The motor protection filter is a lifetime filter — it never needs to be replaced.

Does the Ultimate800 work well on hardwood floors?

Yes. The included multi-surface floor tool has a dial carpet height adjustment — set to the hard floor position and the tool glides smoothly over hardwood, tile, laminate, and sealed stone without scratching. Auto mode automatically reduces suction when it detects hard flooring, protecting delicate surfaces and preventing the floor tool from sticking. The 360° rubber swivel wheels on the canister body also protect your floors from scuffs as you move between rooms.

Is the Ultimate800 good for pet hair?

Yes — the 2,100W motor generates the suction needed to lift embedded pet hair from carpet, and the included upholstery tool in the 3-in-1 attachment handles pet hair on sofas, chairs, and stairs effectively. The sealed HEPA filtration system captures pet dander — the particles that actually trigger allergies — rather than recirculating them into the room. For homes with heavy shedding, Electrolux also offers a dedicated pet turbo nozzle (sold separately at eVacuumStore) that provides deeper agitation on upholstery and car interiors.

What does "Auto Mode" actually do?

Auto Mode uses sensors in the floorhead to detect whether you're on carpet or a hard floor, then automatically adjusts suction power in real time — higher suction on carpet for deeper agitation, lower suction on hard floors to prevent the floorhead from dragging and to protect delicate surfaces. You don't need to stop cleaning and manually switch settings when you move from a rug to a hardwood hallway. You can override Auto Mode at any time using the +/− buttons on the handle to select Low, Mid, or High manually.

Is the Ultimate800 good for people with allergies or asthma?

Yes — it's one of the best canister vacuums available for allergy and asthma households. The three-stage sealed filtration captures 99.1% of particles between 0.3–2.5 microns, including dust mites, pollen, mold spores, and pet dander. Critically, the system is fully sealed — air passes through the filter rather than bypassing it around the bag seams, which is a common failure point in cheaper vacuums. The self-sealing s-bag also ensures no allergen exposure during bag changes. The bagged design is inherently better for allergy sufferers than bagless canisters, which release a fine dust cloud every time you empty the bin.

How loud is the Electrolux Ultimate800?

The Ultimate800 operates at a maximum of 75 dB(A) — comparable to a normal conversation at the same volume. In Auto Mode or Low setting, it operates quieter than that. It's not a silent vacuum, but 75 dB is on the quieter end of the canister vacuum category. Most budget uprights and shop-style vacuums run at 80–90 dB. If noise sensitivity is a primary concern, using Low Mode for maintenance cleaning and reserving High Mode for deep-cleaning sessions is a practical approach.

What's included in the box?

The Ultimate800 EHVS80W5AG ships complete with everything needed to start cleaning immediately: the canister unit, ErgoFlex hose, telescopic wand, multi-surface floorhead with dial carpet height adjustment, 3-in-1 attachment tool (crevice, upholstery brush, dusting brush), and an initial s-bag installed. The floorhead has built-in LED nozzle lights. No additional accessories are required to clean carpet, hard floors, upholstery, stairs, or above-floor surfaces. Additional Electrolux accessories — parquet floor brush, pet turbo nozzle, and extended hose — are available separately at eVacuumStore.

What is the warranty on the Electrolux Ultimate800?

The Ultimate800 EHVS80W5AG carries a 2-year limited manufacturer's warranty (1 year parts, 1 year labor). As an authorized Electrolux dealer, eVacuumStore ensures your purchase is covered by the full manufacturer warranty — buying from an unauthorized retailer can void warranty coverage. If you experience any issues, contact our team at 1-866-972-8227 and we'll help coordinate warranty service.

Can I use the Ultimate800 on stairs?

Yes. The canister body sits at the bottom of the stairs while you work up with the hose, wand, and attachments — which is actually more practical than an upright on stairs. The 21-foot cord and 31-inch floor tool reach give you a generous range. The 3-in-1 attachment tool with upholstery brush is ideal for stair carpeting, and the crevice tool reaches into the corners and risers. The ErgoFlex hose's natural flex makes maneuvering around stair corners particularly comfortable.
