Aerus LLC is a corporation manufacturing vacuum cleaners and air purifiers. It is headquartered in Dallas, Texas, and has over 400 independently owned franchises in the U.S. and Canada. Aerus is the successor to Electrolux USA, the iconic manufacturer of vacuum cleaners. However, the Electrolux name is now used in the U.S. by the Electrolux Group of Sweden, which also manufactures Eureka vacuum cleaners.

Electrolux was founded in 1924 by Gustaf Sahlin. Its tank vacuum quickly became an industry standard, and was very popular for many decades.

In 1998, the North American rights to the Electrolux name were sold to Electrolux Group of Sweden, which was previously unaffiliated. The corporation that previously manufactured Electrolux vacuums has been known as Aerus since 2001.
