NO HEADLIGHT/NO LOSS NYCWRITER, In all my years in the vacuum business, I never missed the headlight on the early Lux Omniflo power nozzles like the PN-5. The Sebo ET-1 is an excellent nozzle without it as well. I do like the 236 Miele with the LED headlight better than the...

Guardian Upr Airwatt Numbers Dan, What are the airwatt numbers on the Guardian Upright? When I sold them they had the V-bulkhead and Domel VM 3's like 380 or so. The website is showing 318 and that can't be right. Brian

Ultimate and Beautiful Dan, I am very pleased with my Lux Guardian Platinum. In my lengthly conversation with the President of Aerus last week, I learned it was designed by them and partner Lux International AG over a 6 year period. Excellent performance, super quiet and the machine offers...

GM1982 George, Never thought of my Lux Guardian Platinum as being a "high roller" lol! I spoke at length with the President of Aerus this past week about my new machine and what I like, love and feel needs improvement. I do think there will be some changes down the road. He was very...

Making Sense in Orilla Rob, Very nice breakdown on machines for these two potential consumers. You are spot-on actually with your observations and correct in your characterization of Sebo as better than most. It is. Period. Of the canisters discussed here, both it and the Filter Queen...

Your New Lux Congrats, The Silverado Deluxe was probably the best vacuum ever built when you look at the whole package. I have always said the Omniflo nozzle picks up a lot more dirt than many give it credit for. I am glad you are pleased and will have very clean carpets for a long time. It...

Good Option CTSOONER, If he will let the Moxie go for $599 grab that. You will appreciate the 28' cord, longer hose with a great swivel and a good power nozzle. Also USA made. That unit pulls more water than the Miele vortex motor does at about 115" vs 100" or so. The Silver Moon is getting...

A Word About Consumer Reports NYCWRITER, If I were in your shoes contemplating a new vacuum purchase, the last thing I would look to or worry about is what Consumer Reports thinks. The individuals here are experts and the nice thing is each of us has experience with lots of different...

Miele hose/EurekaPrince Brian, I am not sure what is up with Miele and their hose lengths. I took my new Lux Guardian Platinum down to an old Lux buddy who sells Miele to show him the pre-production machine and do a side by side with some of his machines. The Earth hose is slightly longer...

Agree With Hype Steve, You are right about the Simplicity/Riccar Tandem Air units like the Radiance and Brilliance. Excellent all the way around and worth a look. I'm sorry to hear about your dad. A friend of mine was a cancer surgeon at one of my clients- Dana Farber in Boston...

Manhattan Apartment Vacuum NYCWRITER, There are several very good vacuums that will work well in your Manhattan digs. For the variety of flooring you describe do yourself a favor and forget the Miele and Kirby uprights. Of the two, my choice would be Kirby for its long-life durability but...

Quiet Canister Vacuum I would say the XXX Lux or the Lux Intelligernce/Guardian Platinum followed by Sebo/Windsor and Miele Capricorn/Earth. Lindhaus falls in the list somewhere too.

Power Nozzle Canister Nathaniel, With the type of flooring in your home you will definitely appreciate the quality of the Lux attachments and the standard and optional floor brushes with the Classic canister. The Sidekick is perfect for your stairs and the Lux power nozzle is very good at...

If any of you guys have a NEW Electrolux green power nozzle brush roller you would like to part with e-mail me or call 207-402-5020. Brian

Anyone know where the pic went with the top cover of the Lux PB-1 power nozzle removed? It seems like this was a recent post. Brian

Lux Platinum Wands Due to the hurricane I had a chance to catch up with an old friend who is a former Lux guy who owns a couple Miele shops. I was surprised how similar in outside diameter their new chrome telescoping Miele wand is in comparison to the wands on my Platinum. They are...

Any of you guys have a preference on replacement rollers for the Lux P/N 5, 6 and 7? I am looking for a stiffer roller that pulls the nozzle along by itself more so than the current Aerus double-helix style. Anyone know who makes the current Aerus Lux roller and have a preference...

Some Thoughts On The Platinum I sold equipment both residential and commercial for Lux on the streets of Boston for more than a decade back in my days with Jimmy Hoffa. After numerous calls from my buddies at lux and lots of back and forth on the price of the unit (Believe me I know EVERY...
