    Made in the USA, does it matter? What is truly built to last?

    Classicfan1 Some of these "originally all American made companies" Dirt Devil, Hoover, etc. outsourced their production why? Maybe because the owners and higher ups, got greedy and figured they could mass produce more cheaply and score big profits. There should also be more incentives for...

    Lot of Kirby thumbs up.... Interesting, so is a Kirby also good for hardwood floors? Is it able to get underneath beds (Attachments are separate I see)

    Made in the USA, does it matter? What is truly built to last?

    Being one of the most used and abused appliances in the household, Today one sees Dirt Devil, Hoover, Bissell, Shark, etc. Made in Chinas, line the shelves of stores and many people buy them, lasting a short time before they break and you see them curbside. So what vacuum brand has been truly...

    I think they are better off sticking to TVs and computers!

    My New Aerus Vacuums

    Lets hope the new upright has some sort of on board tools, LED lights and swivel head, which might be pushing it....It's Aerus, lets see what happens, and hope they don't blow it with the same body recycled again just in dark grey with LED lights.

    My New Aerus Vacuums

    Upright question: Can you change out the headlight bulb to an LED one or something brighter? I have been looking for a 15W led bulb, but I don't know if its compatible?

    Help! Shopping for New Vacuum and Overwhelmed

    That's unfortunately the wonderful experience you get from Aerus... I have written in another post on this forum under MY NEW AERUS VACCUM, you can read my posts about Aerus there. I have the Upright with separate tools and I like it, some flaws, but very bad experience in the purchase process...

    Stores use vacuum displays? GROSS!!

    what you mean is that its a dump, the store is lazy to not get a separate vacuum to clean the store, rather the pull the vacuums on display, use those and put them back...with the dirt in it to.... that's funny/trashy

    My New Aerus Vacuums

    I'm not trying to smear Aerus, I actually own an Aerus upright and like Aerus, I just think it needs some re-structuring to be more successful, and some re-vamping of its uprights. I like innovative and high quality appliances and electronics, not just vacuums. I am into a lot of things, but...

    My New Aerus Vacuums

    Good point... Although, I don't go out of my way to look, when I do walk throughs or open-houses on some of my high end listings...I've encountered seeing central vacs- Vacuflo and Beam I can recall with the Eurekalux power heads/hose/parts etc. An older Electrolux grey canister and Miele S7...

    Advice, looking for the BEST canister (Unhappy w/Miele)

    Kenmore vs Aerus vs Sebo You cannot compare, they may have everything onboard, but the filtering is no where near Aerus or Sebo... Kenmore is comparable to Panasonic or Hoover. Made in Mexico or Made in China. I've tried out the Kenmore Intuition Upright, Kenmore (Red) Canister and I can tell...

    My New Aerus Vacuums

    Dan, Its frustrating when your area lacks a decent vacuum store, and you get an attitude when you have an issue with the product. Makes me not want to go back to try out the Platinum and inquire about the possible new upright. Other vaccum stores here carry a mixed arrray of brands, all seem to...

    Advice, looking for the BEST canister (Unhappy w/Miele)

    Valid points.... I think the Sebo D4 canister is the only one I am aware of at the moment that you can actually get all the accessories on board, including the floor brush which can attach to the back parking slot. Maybe the Riccar canisters can too, Im not sure though

    My New Aerus Vacuums

    Looking to the future... Lux needs to develop a better dealer network...they should probably retire the direct sales method, open stores and put legitimate pricing on the products...no wheel and deal like a used car salesman. I have yet to find an Aerus dealer that is not a phony scam artist...

    Advice, looking for the BEST canister (Unhappy w/Miele)

    The Aerus will probably glide the easiest on thick carpets, try an upright if you have lots of carpeting.

    Advice, looking for the BEST canister (Unhappy w/Miele)

    George CT... If you are not happy with the Miele, then like others have said there are a couple of other options, not many though- and nothing is going to be perfect. I know the Miele has short power cords, hoses- I really do not see them being that short...but I would take a look at the Aerus...

    Ugh.... maybe I need to relocate eventually... Seems many people have some sort of bad experience with NY, maybe it is this area.

    Lux customer service.... :-0 my experience has not been that glowing; from the pushy salesperson to never hearing about home bag delivery or pick/up drop off services to disconnect between the branch location and corporate customer service.... I give their customer service a C- Maybe in your...

    My New Aerus Vacuums

    ...I think there is a difference, A Kenmore canister is totally cheap thin plastic compared to a Miele. The plastic ABS is much more thicker and the bottom half of the unit is very tough... you cannot compare the two- seriously. I have the base model S2 and not even the TOL and its proven to be...
