Who knows... I doubt it if I had to guess.... The wands and the power nozzles seem to always stay the same, and they rarely change things. Its just a staple of this company and the design. I have the upright and I like it, however, it has not changed much in a long time. Aerus does not believe...

They are not a bad machine, however, I find them very loud and the tools that come with it are just okay...no natural horse hair brushes. If it weren't so loud, then I might have considered one. They have Panasonic Upright attributes, but I never found either brand to be a big catch.

Any ideas of when Aerus might roll out the new uprights? I am not sure if I should just hold onto this Guardian, be patient and deal with the shortcomings, or just go start browsing the Riccar Line.

CTsooner well said.....Nothing is perfect and no vacuum is the best. Something that is sealed and does not leak air, filters well, has useful features, is quiet and durable will come close to perfect, and your Sebo is an example.

Electromatik What new upright can't you wait for? I was not aware that Aerus was having a new upright come out yet?

I guess I will be looking into the Riccar then... Why is that? The bags don't contain anti-odor blockers.

pr-21 Bud, my model- the current model Guardian Upright has the HEPA filter on the side, its a cartridge that appends to the side of the machine. I think it puts too much pressure on the inside forcing air out of the cord or duct areas. Anything that is not sealed will cause air to escape. I...

The brush roll on or off, I does not matter, air still comes out. It cleans well, but its just the idea and fact that it blows air out where it shouldn't. at $700 its a joke

Got curious...I took it in yesterday, before I even sent this pic....got a call just before, they said its the motor that blows out air, and nothing is wrong. I questioned and said how could it be, everything should come out of the final hepa filter. The air goes into the bag>pre-filter>into...

Nice vacuum! For all you Lux vacuum lovers, can you explain the air that comes out from duct at the base of my upright. Here is a picture demo using a tissue and turning the vacuum on. It shows the tissue being blown away. (KirbyLoverDan) any thoughts? If both of your Guardians do not have this...

And FYI my local vacuum shop has told me, and I've seen with my own eye, what comes in for most repairs: mostly the big box store brands/bagless and Kenmore, also some, yes, Electrolux- the grey model canisters (not sure of specific models) 1990's with broken swivel necks and wands that die...

Honestly, unless you have a good reason to sell it, because you do not like it for some reason....then keep your Sebo. Its a great vacuum, not a piece of crap by any means. There are some people on this board that "bash" and "hate" other brands because they need to display superiority and...

Hey...the Aerus is the way to go, I had them all, bought, returned and sold many, and still found myself liking the Aerus the most. Something about them, perhaps the rubber hose, electric side kicks, it wins me over. The only other brand I enjoy all around so far is Miele. I have yet to come to...

Yes, unfortunately that's how it is...I wish Aerus was bigger here, but from Manhattan to Montauk Point they have tarnished the reputation. Its not just vacuums, its appliance stores as well...they just do not know that friendly approach. It seems as if they are un-knowledgeable and un-willing...

All of the Long Island locations I have been to we're not that nice at all..... Three have shut doors and Miele is popping up more and more, they are even in some Oreck stores and Bloomingdales. I have received excellent customer service, demos and no pressure sales at all from any Miele stores

Unfortunately that's what gives Aerus a crappy image, the arrogant store owners who want top dollar for a basic machine.

NYC writer, I had to haggle to get my Aerus at a price I was willing to pay. They started at $1,300, I walked away with Upright & Tools for $700 with a trade. Good machine, very durable, however, the sales experience was undesirable.

NYCwriter, That is a very good question. I want to guess that a lot of the convoluted sales has occurred from the Direct Sales brands. (Kirby, Electrolux, Rainbow, etc.) As other brands grew (Miele, Sebo, Dyson, Oreck, Eureka-lux etc.) the direct sales method became more challenging because...

Mark40511 ...perhaps that model does not leak air. Go to an Aerus retailer or if you know of someone who has a current Legacy model or the Guardian Upright like I do, turn on and feel the underneath of the Upright near the duct hose at the base before the power head and you will feel air...

Thanks... ...well that's an interesting vacuum. I was able to pull up the website. Very cool. How much do they go for?
