    Find of today, Philips hr 6248 in mint condition pic

    Nice! Phillips, another once great company that made just about everything you could ever need in the way of a home appliance. Still okay, but not what it was.

    FOR SALE: Electro Hygiene Deluxe on Craigslist

    Royal did make it... it even says so on the manual and in the ad. Electrolux had nothing to do with it.

    Replacement hose for Electrolux 1205

    The lack of parts availability for Canadian machines probably has more to do with the end of actual production in Canada and the loss the ability to manufacture those parts without re-tooling than in any business decision by Aerus. And that lost capability would have occurred long before Aerus...

    Aerus/Electrolux Attachment Brush Replacements

    Aerus would rather sell you a new above the floor tool than just a brush. Just like most everything else... I love the products but every day their business practices leave me scratching my head. So much talk about customer service and satisfaction, yet so little actual delivery.   Shoot me...

    Replacement hose for Electrolux 1205

    Rob,   Things are indeed different, you get genuine Aerus hoses much cheaper than I can get them and I work at a franchise. It's also funny that we have a very hard time getting the square filters for the LX/LXI yet you can get them. Aerus does not make them available in the US , we have to...

    Electrolux Brush Roll Improvements?

    Like tig21er, I have several customers that are a hundred miles or more from my door. I visit them at least once a year, and most I see twice a year... they are my best referral sources since they have experienced the service first hand. I can't compete on price with the big box stores, I do...

    Replacement hose for Electrolux 1205

    The pigtail hoses are available to Aerus franchisees in Canada, all they have to do is order them. And frankly I disagree about the durability of aftermarket hoses, it all depends on source as to the quality. I have several aftermarket hoses that have lasted longer than genuine Electrolux/Aerus...

    Aerus/Electrolux Attachment Brush Replacements

    short answer is yes, both from Aerus and on the aftermarket. Aerus replacements for the floor tools are the entire insert (both brush strips and the metal plate, aftermarket replacements are just the brush strips. The dusting brushes are virtually identical from either source. The aftermarket...

    Electrolux Brush Roll Improvements?

    Suckolux,   Aerus still does pickup and deliver, at least we still do here and I know of a few others that do as well.

    D-T,   That vacuum is the classic Electrolux AB vacuum shape. US and Canadian Electrolux vacuums have had nothing in common design wise with Electrolux AB since the model XI. There is an entire world of Electrolux vacuums out there that look like those ones...

    Replacement hose for Electrolux 1205

    Nope, Aerus attachments and hoses no longer are embossed with anything. Rather a shame.

    european cleaners

    I see many familiar vacs there, mostly Miele and Electrolux AB. I had that Blue Miele in the second picture when I lived in Germany, Belgium and France many, many years ago. I received it as a gift from the MD's wife when she found out I was sweeping the floors with a broom and dustpan... it was...

    Electrolux Brush Roll Improvements?

    I have 2 of the 3 row brush rolls but it's been a long time since I've seen one available. None are still made to my knowledge. I only change brush rolls when the brushes wear down. I don't find they get that much softer, unless they've gotten wet or very hot... depending on whether they are...

    Aerus Lux Guardian Platinum

    The Classic and Legacy are pre-Aerus... with some tweaks: better motors being the most notable.

    Aerus Lux Guardian Platinum

    DJub85, I'm not offended, I was just offering up information. I started my last reply before your post to D-T so it all got a bit confusing.   I am not a fan of the GP in it's entirety. I hate the bags and the way they get pushed into the chamber due to the lack of a lip to hold the...

    Aerus Lux Guardian Platinum

    DJub85,   Nobody claims it's made in US. I stated it's made in the EU. The first Lux Intelligence was not sold here, but Aerus was involved in it's development - there were many, many issues with it and that is why the Guardian Ultra was introduced as a stop-gap... the new GP wasn't ready...

    My Lux Collection

    DJub85, Aerus was involved with the design and development of the Platinum in collaboration with Lux International from the beginning. There were more than 'finishing touches' done by Aerus engineers. It's by no means perfect, but it would have taken many more years to develop from scratch in...

    Aerus Lux Guardian Platinum

    The Guardian Platinum is a joint venture between Aerus and Lux International. It was co-designed and developed. It is manufactured in the EU, except for the hose, wands, tools and PN which are made in Bristol VA and the SideKick III made in Asia. The Aerus unit is slightly different than the Lux...
