Editors Note: A photo is included with this press release.

    Eureka is launching its latest cleaning innovation, the Zuum Z-series by
Eureka, the next generation of central vacuum systems that combines
powerful, easy cleaning with a sleek European design.

    Each of the five systems in the Zuum Z-series by Eureka boasts a variety
of advanced features, including a sealed HEPA filtration unit for
improved air quality, integrated sound suppression for minimized noise,
interactive LED panels and an LCD screen that monitors the machine's
internal workings and provides performance measurement.

    "The Zuum Z-series line provides the high-quality clean and innovative
design that consumers have come to expect from Eureka," said Navia
Sharma, Marketing Manager, Electrolux Home Care Products Canada. "With
five different models in the Z-series, homeowners can choose the Zuum by
Eureka unit specifically designed to suit their personal cleaning needs."

    The launch of Zuum by Eureka is being supported through an interactive
microsite and consumer contest at www.LoveToVacuum.com. Visitors can
select from a series of edgy "v-cards" (vacuum cards) and send their
vacuum-challenged loved ones a not-so-subtle hint that it's time to pitch
in. The microsite also includes a contest to win a custom Zuum by Eureka
Central Vacuum System, complete with personalized airbrushing of the
vacuum based on their individual style.

    In addition to the microsite, Eureka has enlisted the help of author and
housekeeping expert, Tom McNulty, whose book, Clean Like a Man, offers
male-oriented housekeeping tips and relationship advice. McNulty will
take part in an Ontario-based fall cleaning media tour to support the
launch.
