The Bottom Line

Guide Review - Aerus Lux 9000 Vacuum Cleaner Review
This Aerus Lux 9000 (formerly Electrolux) canister vacuum has excellent suction with the power nozzle, and also has gentler suction options, which are great for vacuuming curtains and furniture. Power performance is great. The hose is generously long as is the electrical cord, allowing good coverage through the main floor, from one power source. The Aerus (Electrolux) brand filters are specially designed with more layers to filter the air that returns to your house – also a great feature.The vacuum has a full bag indicator which is conveniently located with the other controls on the handle. The Hepa filter attaches to the top of the unit, with small plastic brackets, which tend to snap off easily, or break off altogether, which requires a little creativity to keep it ‘attached’. The new floor brush design seems to hamper, rather than assist proper floor cleaning, and the unit does not really ‘follow’ well, possibly due to the design of the wheels.
The regular power bar works very well and the mini power bar is extremely convenient for cleaning stairs, vehicles or furniture.
Although the suction power is terrific, I am slightly disappointed with this unit for reasons mentioned above.
