Electrolux EL5010a Upright HEPA Vacuum Cleaner - Deluxe Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.

Product Description:
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.
