The sturdy and lightweight Esssential G is a technically advanced upright vacuum. It features an electronic controller that acts as a brain, monitoring a warning system that not only alerts the user to problems, such as clogs, a worn brush, a full bag, brush obstructions and when brush height is set too high for optimum cleaning, but it also automatically shuts off the vacuum, when necessary to protect the motor and belts from damage. It offers manual brush height adjustment, years of reliability, a convenient instant-use cleaning wand and suction hose, and an exterior housing with a scratch and scuff-resistant matte finish.
