Instant-use Wand and Suction Hose - The integrated instant-use wand and suction hose are always ready. Just pull out either tool, or both together, to clean hard-to-reach corners, edges and crevices. The wand and hose together have an eight-foot reach. The suction hose is ideal for cleaning furniture. And an optional nine-foot extension hose is available, which creates a total hose length of 15 feet . . . perfect for cleaning stairs. Choose from a range of optional attachments that can be fitted to the wand or hose!

A Low 5 ½ - inch Profile - Lower the handle flat to the floor to clean under beds, or lower it to the intermediate stop position to maneuver over rugs. Depress the foot pedal again to bypass the intermediate stop position, or close this position by moving the orange handle-position slider.

Four-level Manual Brush Height Adjustment – The brush height can be manually adjusted up or down for optimal cleaning effectiveness.

Brush Obstruction Light with Automatic Shut Off – If an obstr-uction jams the brush roller, the red "check brush" warning light flashes quickly, the brush roller immediately stops spinning, and the vacuum shuts off. This feature prevents the belts from breaking and protects the motor and carpet from damage.

Incorrect Height Setting or Worn Brush Light – When the brush height is set too high for optimal cleaning or when the brush roller should be replaced due to wear, the red "check brush" warning light remains illuminated during use. (The vacuum will not automatically shut off.) The light shuts off when the condition is corrected, ensuring consistently effective brush agitation of the carpet pile.

Easy Brush Removal and Cleaning –Cleaning hair or other debris from the brush roller or replacing it when its bristles are worn is quick and easy, and no tools are required! This feature ensures consistently effective brush agitation of the carpet pile.

Bag Full or Clog Light with Automatic Shut Off – When a full bag, a clog in the airflow pathway, or an excessively dirty microfilter is detected, the red "bag full or clog" warning light illuminates, the machine automati-cally shuts off after 60 seconds, and then the warning light starts continuously flashing. This feature prevents overheating and motor damage from a lack of adequate airflow.

Soft Start Feature - The vacuum's gradual power-up capability extends motor life.

Durable Matte Finish – The ESSENTIAL G has an exterior housing with a special matte finish that is extra scratch and scuff-resistant, so it looks great even after years of use.

Combination Carrying Handle with Rotating Cord Hook - The vacuum is easy to carry, or quickly unwind the cord, using its unique handle with integrated rotating cord hook.

Three On-board Full-size Tools. Large Filter Bag – The ESSENTIAL G comes standard with a crevice tool, dusting brush, upholstery nozzle, and a large 1.4-gallon filter bag. Also, many optional accessories are available.

Two Power Head Widths with One-sided Edge Cleaning – The ESSENTIAL G1 is 12-inches wide with a 10 ½-inch cleaning path. The ESSENTIAL G2 is 15-inches wide with a 13 ¼-inch cleaning path. Both heads have one-sided edge cleaning.

Durable Heavy-duty Belts – The reinforced toothed belts do not slip or stretch, resulting in a more efficient use of power, and they should last the life of the machine

Forty-foot Cord – A 40-foot cord saves time, by reducing the number of electrical outlet changes needed during use.

Easy Maintenance – The ESSENTIAL G's clog removal door and brush roller are easy to access on the power head.
