That is true about the bag. I remember the paper closed bags on my neighbor's NuTone would lose power as it fills up. I rarely seen the performance drop on a MD top emptying unit. I also really like they have multiple filtration where they help protect the motor, I've seen before how a bag got...

Alright this is where I heard the discontinuation of the Guardian Platinum from to back me up. Based on the Lux International site, it appears to be true they're no longer in production and whatever your Aerus dealer is selling now are new old stock models. I don't see a new model from Aerus but...

I've never seen a motor go bad on the K, E, or D series but doesn't mean it wouldn't ever happen. I have before on a Aerus but I'm pretty sure the fault was from those genuine blue paper bags that are so cheaply made cause it was so dusty on the inside. My Diplomat LX I remember came with a blue...

I think my first visit to the cabin with the unit installed was back in 2004 but maybe it was 2005, I can't remember now. I thought maybe it was a single motor unit cause I couldn't recognize if two motors were running at the same time. Who knows but I think I'm gonna reach out anyways. It was a...

I'm well aware of the Gaurdian Platinum and how they're made courtesy to dysonman1. Apparently he was the one who made the Guardian Platinum model possible and I thank him for doing so because it's one of my favorite Lux models ever. No doubt the Classic and Legacy models are good machines...

Personally, I'd rather replace the bag on top instead of the bottom. And I agree that it's better to put the motor on the bottom instead of on top. On my SilentMaster that I used to have, we put the bags on top of the unit which wasn't a problem because there's no cooling vents to block off...

I really liked the CV450 that a neighbor of mine has I used to go over and vacuum for. One of the motors did in fact fail one time so I couldn't use it for a while and had to use their other vacuum which was a purple Vax X5. Nonetheless, if NuTone was still selling that model, I would've...

This user has since already bought both an OVO 700 AW and a DrainVac Turbo.

My grandparent's VacuMaid would occasionally shut off on you while you're in the middle of vacuuming. But they have two fridge/freezers out in the garage next to the power unit so that actually makes sense.

I heard a year or so ago that the Guardian Platinum had already been discontinued. Honestly, I think it's over for Aerus. At this point, I just can't see them surviving in the vacuum business for much longer so there's no point of coming out with a new model or even bringing back their older...

As much as I like the SEBO D series, I see absolutely no reason to get one unless if it has an electric power nozzle. Because I can get a Numatic Henry for half the price off. But even with an electric power nozzle, why would I pay for a D4 where I can a E3 or even a K3 for alot cheaper...

I agree Reggie, I wouldn't live in a house without one either. I recently tried to look of having a central vac installed at my grandfather's cabin during the renovation but we were still unable to as there just wasn't enough room for one. Our first cabin never had a central vac and couldn't put...

I love my Kenmore Twin Fan Heavy Duty. If back in the day I were to pass up on a Hoover Concept One, a Twin Fan would've been my runner up choice.

My Beam had it's original motor replaced to a bigger one, there's a slight bit of increase from the performance but definitely for certain it has now outlasted the other motor. So yeah if you're able to get away with putting in a 8.4 motor in your NuTone, that's WAY cheaper than buying a brand...

I love the Aria, they are in my opinion the best canisters I've ever used by far. Such a shame Lindhaus pulled them out of the US market because they weren't all that popular. I agree about the Elite model, I prefer having a dial set at the highest speed than always having to push up the buttons...
