Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Steering an Aptitude Upright is easier on your entire body, including your hands and joints. The Aptitude has a unique ergonomic handle that allows you to maneuver your vacuum with ease. The soft-looped design can even reduce the strain that often accompanies using an upright vacuum.
Aptitude is specially engineered to take care of your home environment powerfully and quietly so that you can have a more healthy and happy life. Aptitude's soft wheels and ultra-quiet design make it pleasant to use. With variable brush-roll speeds on the handle, you can choose a lower speed to maintain a quiet environment, or choose a higher speed to clean high traffic areas. You can breathe easier knowing that the Aptitude is crafted to provide cleaning power and convenient filtration. The lifetime, washable HEPA H12 filter captures over 99.5% of airborne dust and allergens. The electronic filter indicator lets you know when the filter needs to be cleaned so you can continue getting the best results and the freshest air from your cleaner.
We know that you care about how well products clean. Aptitude grooms all types of carpeting using a powerful 12-amp motor that operates with variable brush-roll speed and seven carpet height settings. The cleaning process becomes more effortless with the super stretch hose, superior on-board tools, and the wide 15-inch cleaning path that cleans more in one pass than other upright models. In addition, the turbo nozzle allows you to clean stairs and upholstery or anywhere.
Vacuuming can be easy with Aptitude's innovative gliding tilt that removes the need to bend and twist in order to clean. This gliding tilt design allows you to push the vacuum at a height that is comfortable for you, or you can roll the vacuum flat to reach easily under low furniture and beds. The Aptitude Upright moves with you to clean any area of your home.

Disappointing for an Electrolux,
By Johanna (Brewster, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Electrolux EL5010a Upright HEPA Vacuum Cleaner - Deluxe Kit (Kitchen)
I bought the Aptitude upright because I currently own an older Electrolux upright (Discovery II model from 1987) and, 18 years later, have had no problems with it whatsoever (wanted another to keep upstairs).Truly, the Discovery is the BEST upright I have ever used and was disappointed that the Aptitude just doesn't measure up. (That is most likely the reason it was half the price of the Discovery, which is no longer manufactured ... bummer.) I never thought the day would come when I would say Electrolux is now another run-of-the-mill vacuum. The features that made their upright unique (i.e. superior edge cleaning on both sides, ability to clean under most furniture due to slim design and the fact that the arm/handle could be easily released so that the unit was COMPLETELY flat, etc.) were ELIMINATED from the newer model. The Aptitude's arm folds down but not as flat as the Discovery and, therefore, cannot get under as many pieces of furniture. The newer model is very bulky and much heavier, making it easier for me to vacuum with the older one. Electrolux was the only vacuum cleaner brand I knew -- canisters and uprights. While the Aptitude is a good vacuum cleaner, I can honestly say it is nothing special.

Great vacuum for the price,
By
This review is from: Electrolux EL5010a Upright HEPA Vacuum Cleaner - Deluxe Kit (Kitchen)
I bought this product to replace a Hoover Bagless Vacuum that I purchased four years ago for around $400. The Hoover model was no longer working very well & the allure of a bagless vacuum had definitely worn off. My parents have owned Electrolux products for years & have always been happy with their quality. When I saw the Aptitude at such a low price, I was a little skeptical. The old saying you get what you pay for. The Aptitude is plastic. However, so was the Hoover I had purchased four years earlier. Does the Aptitude compare to the Electrolux models of the past? No. However, I didn't pay the $600 price tag that my parents did either. In my opinion the Aptitude works great, especially for the $250 price. If you're looking for a good vacuum cleaner in this price range, the Aptitude is definitely the one.

Company does not stand behind this product,
This review is from: Electrolux EL5010a Upright HEPA Vacuum Cleaner - Deluxe Kit (Kitchen)
I purchased one of these vacuums less than 3 months ago and now see the hose is disintegrating. It has a series of tears in the folds all along the hose. I contacted the company about the problem and was told that we could buy a piece to fix it or buy a new vacuum. You purchase a major product like this you would expect the company to stand behind it, not want you to buy the pieces to fix what is their manufacturing problem.Beware this vacuum. It does not live up to its hype.
