Thorough suction, first-class handling, 65 dB(A).

Nano is a canister vacuum cleaner that delivers thorough suction and top-level cleaning performance, with first-class ease of use and practical handling at only 65 dB(A). It was led from concept to production and sold 1 million units in its launch year.

It is the result of combining the global and local Electrolux VBL, becoming a symbol of the “Only One Electrolux” program, and extends into a coherent vacuum family and packaging system.
