It’s the coolest looking vacuum! I really like it. You’ll be happy if you get one. It’s got the power you’ll need to keep your home clean, especially if you have a lot of carpet or rugs. |

I've got three Electrolux uprights--a Discovery Plus, a Discovery II and a Genesis LXe. The Discovery Plus I found at a thrift shop a couple of years ago for $25. It's essentially the same as a Discovery II but with onboard tool storage. It didn't have any tools with it but I pieced together a set and found it very ungainly with all the tools onboard so I relegated it to my barn.
Last summer, I rescued the Discovery II from the curb. It had its hose with it but no other accessories. A few days later, I lucked up on a Sidekick adapter kit for a Discovery III and was pleased to find that everything fit the Discovery II. I use this machine weekly to sweep up cat litter when I change the cats' litter pan and it works great on the vinyl floor and on the bathmats. The only thing is performance goes down quickly once the bag gets about a third full of cat litter. The Genesis LXe was a lucky $8 thrift shop find. It had the recalled cord configuration on which the cord stuck out the end of the handle. Mine was in great condition, but I went ahead and got it repaired for free anyway. Shortly after I got it, I snagged a complete toolkit for it, including a Sidekick, hose, wands, crevice tool and combo dusting brush and upholstery tool. I honestly have to say I much prefer having the tools stored on a caddy than aboard the machine itself. |

To answer you're first question about the uprights versus the canisters. For the suction motors, the canisters are actually better. The reason is by looking at the actual size of the motors, the canister motors are larger than the upright motors and they are much more powerful. Other than that, the brushrolls and the PN motors are basically the same.

Every time I see that Lux Guardian upright I really wish Aerus had incorporated stainless steel into the design. It looks OK as it is, but it would have really looked awesome if they had put stainless steel plating on the body where the white is. |
