    Help, Vacuum advice wanted

    All the above are good mentions, but since you stated that you have all hardwood, a canister will be the right choice. I would exclude the Aerus canisters, very clunky, noisy, overpriced and do not deep clean. The new Aerus platinum is an excellent quiet canister vacuum with two hepa filters...

    Help, Vacuum advice wanted

    I have a Simplicity Synchrony and an Aerus Guardian Upright...I tend to like uprights better if you have lots of wall to wall carpeting and canisters if you have more hardwood floors. I've also had a Miele S2 canister which I sold earlier this year. I strongly recommend the Sebo vacuum canister...

    Almost 1 Year Old Miele Capricorn...(Broken Park Lever)

    Simplicity and Riccar are good vacuums but from what I gathered from three different vac repairers.... the canisters have more issues than uprights. Can argue this all different ways, but I am just the messenger here.... The S2, S4 and new S8 Miele are supposed to be better... The Miele dealer...

    Almost 1 Year Old Miele Capricorn...(Broken Park Lever)

    that stinks, you should probably bring it in for repair. I don't think the Riccar is going to be any different or better. They have problems and user error as well. The wiring on the base of the powerheads on the Riccar canisters can get caught on objects sometimes and get ripped out. The...

    If I could talk to Aerus

    NY area stores In my area these have closed: Selden, NY, Riverhead, NY & Manhasset, NY. That's three stores in less than a few years. Miele has been doing well here, and Sebo.

    My New Aerus Vacuums - Part 2

    dysonman1 very true.... where I live in New York, a little research, and I discovered four locations closed in the last several years. I would actually call the numbers on the website, and turns out the location is no longer in business. Seems they are trying to make a comeback, but I feel...

    My New Aerus Vacuums - Part 2

    agree, I don't think there is a new upright, It was all chatter. I will believe it when I see it. I have the Guardian Upright, its good vac, some flaws. However, I am not a vac shop owner or claim to be a big vacuum buff... but I can tell you there are better options than the Guardian Upright...

    My New Aerus Vacuums - Part 2

    I was unable to edit it... but I was trying to suggest the potential 'best' for all around filtering without any issues. Everyone here seems to be mentioning bags issues with the Sauber/Aerus and dust leaking. I have read many other threads over time about HEPA filtration and have used many...

    My New Aerus Vacuums - Part 2

    hmmmm... I would have to see the new upright and hope they will modify it a little, sealed HEPA filtration, loose the boxy add on HEPA side filter and add direct connect electric hose. If they keep the same unit and just change the color to match the platinum canister, then that's seriously...

    My New Aerus Vacuums

    Here we go The lady over the phone at the customer service center in Dallas was friendly and courteous, however, the issue was forwarded back to the dealer- I got the runaround. People in other regions of the country, including you Dan, absolutely may experience top notch customer service with...

    My New Aerus Vacuums

    Luxlife Good point on waiting for the small issues to be resolved with a new model ...that's why I don't rush on anything either. In terms of manufacturing, yes, lots of components and parts are from China, whether it be cars, vacuums, blenders, etc... however, if there is an issue with...

    My New Aerus Vacuums

    williamr Its unfortunate, but if you read my previous posts, why I should even be talking about air leaking out of my vacuum period! Its a quality control issue. Whether this is a few units per hundred or thousand.... It should not be if every unit is being tested before packaging. I am...

    My New Aerus Vacuums

    ....don't get me wrong, I do like the vacuum otherwise, and the full size attachments. Its a well known long lasting vacuum brand. However, I unfortunately had issues with my upright and poor customer service in the resolving.
