I'm with marks_here... everything but the wanna be... But if I could only get one.. the Kenmore, as D-T said, the PN is an easy repair.

Too rich for my blood. I don't pay that much for anything 40 years old... or 20 for that matter, especially if I have to add shipping.

I wouldn't send it to kirby at this point. you will get a frankenkirby returned to you and it may come back damaged.. the one I have was not sent back in great condition - in polishing it, Kirby destroyed the red Kirby logo insert in the headlamp cover and the surface polish was not great. I...

They are powerful little vacuums which are plagued by issues. Reliability is horrid, switches break, the PN wiring fails and/or the PN motor does. The reviews from users all start out good but end with the same failures - when it's working they are great... but like a 70's Jaguar, they are...

I know mark was being sarcastic.. I was just commenting on the wording of the ad. No more posting in the middle of the night for me... my ability to write in English is impaired.

D-T,   I too sort of slid into this. Inherited and Electrolux XXX,  and Olympia One, a Hoover Constellation and a Lady Kenmore all in one year (well nobody else wanted them and I've always had an affinity for mechanical objects). The Electrolux vacuums were the first I tore apart and put...

Nice! Phillips, another once great company that made just about everything you could ever need in the way of a home appliance. Still okay, but not what it was.

Royal did make it... it even says so on the manual and in the ad. Electrolux had nothing to do with it.

The lack of parts availability for Canadian machines probably has more to do with the end of actual production in Canada and the loss the ability to manufacture those parts without re-tooling than in any business decision by Aerus. And that lost capability would have occurred long before Aerus...

Aerus would rather sell you a new above the floor tool than just a brush. Just like most everything else... I love the products but every day their business practices leave me scratching my head. So much talk about customer service and satisfaction, yet so little actual delivery.   Shoot me...

Rob,   Things are indeed different, you get genuine Aerus hoses much cheaper than I can get them and I work at a franchise. It's also funny that we have a very hard time getting the square filters for the LX/LXI yet you can get them. Aerus does not make them available in the US , we have to...

Like tig21er, I have several customers that are a hundred miles or more from my door. I visit them at least once a year, and most I see twice a year... they are my best referral sources since they have experienced the service first hand. I can't compete on price with the big box stores, I do...

The pigtail hoses are available to Aerus franchisees in Canada, all they have to do is order them. And frankly I disagree about the durability of aftermarket hoses, it all depends on source as to the quality. I have several aftermarket hoses that have lasted longer than genuine Electrolux/Aerus...

short answer is yes, both from Aerus and on the aftermarket. Aerus replacements for the floor tools are the entire insert (both brush strips and the metal plate, aftermarket replacements are just the brush strips. The dusting brushes are virtually identical from either source. The aftermarket...

awesome!

Suckolux,   Aerus still does pickup and deliver, at least we still do here and I know of a few others that do as well.

D-T,   That vacuum is the classic Electrolux AB vacuum shape. US and Canadian Electrolux vacuums have had nothing in common design wise with Electrolux AB since the model XI. There is an entire world of Electrolux vacuums out there that look like those ones...

One of my neighbors was complaining today about his electric bill being over $400 and he only keeps the house at 80.... I nearly choked, my house never gets warmer than 75 and is usually between 68-70 and my biggest bill in the summer is around $70 and it's only that high because it includes the...

Nope, Aerus attachments and hoses no longer are embossed with anything. Rather a shame.

I see many familiar vacs there, mostly Miele and Electrolux AB. I had that Blue Miele in the second picture when I lived in Germany, Belgium and France many, many years ago. I received it as a gift from the MD's wife when she found out I was sweeping the floors with a broom and dustpan... it was...
