    My New Aerus Vacuums

    cc They don't stand behind the product, I have called the company who relayed me back to the dealer I bought it from, who then told me it was fine after checking it out. Called the company again, they told me to bring it to another Aerus dealer.... JOKE! you guys are bulldozed thinking this...

    My New Aerus Vacuums

    Hey I am not selling anything here, just stating fact...I don't defend any specific brand... Miele isn't perfect either, but just because your machine doesn't leak doesn't mean other peoples do not. I have tried just about every route to address this issue with them. I could probably do a...

    My New Aerus Vacuums

    Thank you thermokid... The newer all white Guardian Uprights (2009-now) have the air leak problem out of the base near the cord. Its an overlooked flaw- lack of quality control testing before it leaves the plant. What percentage have this issue- I don't know. Like I said the machine works, but...

    My New Aerus Vacuums

    Dan I have done this, no resolution on this matter. I have been to two Aerus dealers and contacted the customer service at Aerus LLC Dallas.... the dealer claims its the motor blowing air from the power nozzle fan and it was fine... I laughed! I decided two months ago to take apart the unit to...

    My New Aerus Vacuums

    I have an Aerus Upright and Miele canister. The Aerus only has very small amount of dust in the bag chamber. The pre-motor filter gets very dusty and dirty. I have to clean it after about every two bag changes. The miele never has any dust in the bag chamber and the pre-motor filter after 7...

    My New Aerus Vacuums

    ....just like on Miele and Sebo bags. Make it like they do, their bags are sturdier! But wait, if your not crazy about the Platinum Lux bags, there are many other brands to choose from that do not have bag problems. That's what's so great. Nothing is perfect, even a $1300 vacuum. Preaching...

    New Oreck Bagless

    Good to know, there is limited information so I was assuming based on the other uprights.

    New Oreck Bagless

    Looks cool, I bet its made in China...doubt it has features like safety brush roll off, if you accidentally suck up a sock. Bagless :-/

    Miele S8

    Sebo says it will last for years, yet it only offers a 5 year warranty. I think a lot has to do with how you maintain and care for the vacuum over time.

    Miele S8

    piano god Very valid point, that's why I tend to prefer uprights, because of the longer cord. Short cords are common on canisters for the reason you mentioned.

    My New Aerus Vacuums

    I don't own one but think the suction is probably too much for the bags to handle, I mean how much suction do you really need...combined with an aggressive brush roll. I would wonder about it wearing out the carpet. I'd keep it on the low or medium suction levels most of the time, especially if...

    Miele S8

    Some vacuum manufacturers, and other products as well, have certain target markets and type of consumer they want to go after. If you look at the individual websites of each vacuum brand, you might be able to get clues as to what type of situations, homes and people they are making there vacuums...

    Miele S8

    GeorgeCT We have been over this many times....the only canister that makes the longest cord (presently) is the Sebo D4. Outside of that vacuum brand, I am not aware of any that I know of that has a standard long cord, unless you go to uprights. They're just not making them that way today

    "Uh, mom, we need a new vacuum cleaner"

    If you graduate high school then I think one can figure out pretty easily that its not a bagless vacuum. I am real estate agent, and I have been in homes where I have seen a bagless vacuum in the homeowners laundry room filled to the brim with dirt...guess they magically think the dirt will...

    "Uh, mom, we need a new vacuum cleaner"

    Unfortunately, its become a lazy ignorant society in this country...can you image now, how many people probably don't think to change their home air filters, refrigerator water cartridges, or even the oil in their car when its due. :-0

    Above floor cleaning on an upright, at what cost?

    Why do they ask $36,500 for an Audi A4, and $127,000 for an Audi R8...features, performance, options, etc.... that's a huge price difference

    Above floor cleaning on an upright, at what cost?

    electromatik Very easy...features. The Miele Twist is a base model. (No headlight, auto controls, or extras attachments like a hand turbo or floor brush.) They charge over $1,000 for the canister because its the top of line- S8. A Miele canister base model can be found for $499

    My New Aerus Vacuums

    electromatik Already done that a while ago.... the title of this thread is "My new aerus vacuums" So I think anything pertaining to Aerus is valid discussion here. I own (2) vacuums a guardian upright and miele canister. I talk about miele and aerus because that's what I own and can relate to...

    Above floor cleaning on an upright, at what cost?

    Eurekaprince One vac can do it all, and most people prefer that.... especially people with busy schedules that don't have time to fumble with two vacs. The Miele Twist $429 or there are a few other reputable brands that offer on board hose that work well, are durable and can stretch 7-12...
