Stay away from damp carpet I would never recomend using any vacuum on a damp carpet -- unless you are ready to get rid of it. In addition to issues mentioned and not mentioned before, e.g, mold, engine damange, rust on metal machines, etc. It will also add to caking of dust in the hose, head...

I am on the fence -- I hope it doesn't stick me If you have a high quality machine with a robust fan, then direty air and top fill bag is probably the best -- I have an Oreck XL and Kirby with that set up and it works great. However, even with a pretty full bag, the Aerus Lux Classic...

I wish I could think of things like that to say. I need to be as quick with my whits as you! Great retort! Every year we go to a similar event and the trusty Aerus man/woman is there. I really like Aerus vacuums, but the whole gimiky, will throw this in, make a deal now vibe is not for me...

Greetings Vacuum Land, So about 5 years ago I purchased a Aerus Lux Classic new off of Ebay. I paid around $350.00 plus shipping, but to my surprise I received a brand new vacuum in the sealed, factory box. So it probably fell off of a truck or something. Six months later my wife and I...

Thanks everybody Thanks for the great information everybody! Lots of think about.

Hi Everyone, So here is my question: how good are Miele vacuums? I hear and read a lot about how wonderful they are, etc, etc. Does the hype actually match the durability and performance of the machines? Yours in curiosity, Johnathan

Had a G4 I absolutely love the "G" series from Kirby. I had a G4, but sold it for much needed cash, plus I want an Ultimate or newer if I can find one at the right price. They are great machines, but the only thing I could not get used to was the sound from the TechDrive. I was raised on a...

That is a find I was -- well who am I kidding -- I am a Kirby man. So shinny. Anyway, you scored one hell or a deal. I have a Lux Classic (2007) I bought off of Ebay cheap and I absolutely love it. There are a lot of videos on Youtube about how to disassemble and replace parts on an...

Don't like Dyson Dyson seems to be the vacuum everyone and their dog is getting now-a-days. Don't like them -- the feel is cheap in the worse possible way for a machine that costs so much and I have heard and read lots of horror stories about their quality. A vacuum should not only be...

Congrats -- nice looking Kirby That Kirby looks mighty fine! Premium condition and nice and clean. Are you going to get the shampoo attachment as well? Johnathan

I agree Norm, I agree, the base look almost identical to a power head on the "traditional" Areus canisters and uprights, but it's the bag that is the key. It looks way too much like an Oreck bag, not only shape, but also material used in its production. In the end, it probably doesn't matter...

Never feels right. I have tried, really, really hard to like Dyson products. Great advertising, technological prowess, smart store placement, etc., but ehhh they just never feel right. Now I know almost all vacuums are made from plastic in this day and age, but the Dyson plastic feels just a...

Hello Everyone, Is it just me or does the Aerus Fresh Era Upright Vacuum look an awful lot like an Oreck? The Hoover Platinum Collection Lightweight Bagged Upright has a similar look as well. Does anyone know if Oreck or some other company is OEM'ing these vacuums. Areus' website list the...
