Info & Guides

The Electrolux Ultimate500 HEPA Upright Vacuum is a lightweight, bagless upright vacuum built for whole-home cleaning across hardwood, carpet, tile, and high-pile rugs. With sealed HEPA filtration, adjustable suction control, and a multi-surface bristle nozzle with 5 height settings, this vacuum tackles every surface from daily touch-ups to thorough deep cleans.

Offered as a Standard and pet-specialized model, the Ultimate500 lets you tailor your cleaning setup to your household. Both models share the same sealed HEPA filtration and adjustable nozzle system, while the Pet model adds specialized attachments for removing pet hair from upholstery, car interiors, and bedding.

Sylvane's Expert Take

If you're a homeowner looking for a single upright vacuum that handles every floor type without fuss, the Electrolux Ultimate500 is well worth considering. Its sealed HEPA filtration system captures 98.8 percent of particles down to 0.5 microns, which sets it apart from uprights that use basic foam or felt filters. In practice, the air exhausting from this vacuum is cleaner than what you started with, a real advantage if allergies or dust sensitivity are a concern in your household. The Standard and Pet models let you match the vacuum you chose to your specific situation, whether that means a longer cord for larger floor plans or dedicated pet-hair tools.

great suction and easy to use. a little awkward with the hose putting it back in place. Would like a long narrow attachment for along baseboards though. Appreciate how affordable it was and very glad to have a HEPA filter.

Electrolux Ultimate 500
I really like the suction on this vacuum cleaner, it picks up dirt like no other vacuum I've ever owned. It's lightweight and easy to move around, but it also feels rickety. I'm concerned that it won't last, because the unit doesn't feel like it's going to take wear and tear very well. I do like the long extension cord, the attachments and the long hose. Very nice to cleaning a multitude of areas in the house. I wish it had a better light in the front, so I can see all of the dirt and hair that I'm picking up. Overall I think it's a good vacuum, with excellent suction, but I'm worried it won't last long due to it's weak frame.
