Hi expo it's Jane here. I'm reviewing my Electrolux aptitude upright. It is a great upright. I can't say that I love it coz it is--one thing I don't like about it is it's really really heavy to carry it up the stairs. I'm gonna say it's 30 pounds to lift with one hand which is a lot. It does have this nice handy dandy flip box so that you can easily vacuum with it. One thing that I don't like about it is it does not have a retracting cord so. My last vacuum you could step on a thing and it zip the cord right away. I didn't realize how it was until I had a vacuum that did not have that cord. It has this nice detachable nuzzle which is nice but it's still very short so I have to do a lot of bending over along this side to get it. I wish that there was more an attachment here. And there is an attachment here on the back but I don't wanna reattach it the thing every time because the suction doesn't work unless it's attached so every time I reattach it I'm not gonna attach another piece to it. Another nice feature to this is here in the front there is a light switch so if you're vacuuming in a dark hallway or something it kinda can show you your path with this little light switch. The bags are reasonably affordable and are easy to find because it's a nice Electrolux brand which is nice that it's not like some remote kind of vacuum that you can never find the bag. It has a low carpet setting for like some of the low carpets and the high carpet setting which you can easily kinda switch it for like a shag but I pretty much always keep it on the middle. Sometime I'll move it up to the low carpet setting if I'm doing my hardwood floor so that's something. And there's also a low to max setting. I'll show you how with the low setting sound like get ready for your ears. So this is kind of low and you can see the light there working on it. You can see my dirty carpet needing all the stuff that's on it. And this is the next setting. As you can see it's really hitching a lot more to that yucky thing right there suck it up right there. But I do have the (indiscernible) so I'm generally happy with it. I could be happier with it but overall I think it's nice. I like it that's Electrolux. I like that it's a good name. It's pretty reasonable to have repaired. Once that I got to hole in my tube the tools here and it was just a couple of dollars to have it repaired and I think again coz it's a nice Electrolux name. So if you're looking for a vacuum Electrolux aptitude give it a try.
