We're so good at sleuthing! -)

Upright Model Clarification Aerus uprights have always been marked with model IDs for the entire unit, but unlike the tanks do not have different ones for the power nozzles. It stands to reason, because they are only removed from the unit for maintenance--not cleaning. I wish Aerus/Electrolux...

Charlie, You're welcome for the info. I enjoy comparing and contrasting details along with researching and compiling data. A caveat is that I'm not an Aerus associate, so some of my observations may be inaccurate. Still, it makes for interesting conversation. I had wondered why Electrolux...

Interesting info. on the "twin Bristols". I'd noticed that, too, when I was looking for news items pertaining to the factory but didn't know the specifics that you shared. I've only ever seen "Bristol, VA" on nameplates and other references--not Bristol, TN. I wonder if the manufacturing...

My bad about the Sidekick II (which is made to fit the wider pin span of the hose end for the electric wands). The Sidekick K119L in the white & capri color scheme matches the Lux 4000 and Lux 6000. Regarding the nozzle with the brush strip, that was only the PN6. I've never seen an upright...

Fyi ... Here are the models of the Lux 4000 and Lux 6000 labels: Lux 4000 - U140A Lux 6000 - U140B, U140C, U156A It may be that the U156A was the only one with the VM3 motor. Another difference could be that one may have come with the green HPO brush roll.

You're welcome for the information. First, let me state my error in saying that the Lux 4000 came with a non-electric hose. That's what an Aerus representative in the main office told me when I inquired (that's why I prefer to email). I even asked if they could send me a spec sheet, but they...

Just to clarify ... the Lux 4000 U140A & Lux 6000 U140B, U140C, & U156A were Aerus's only uprights equipped with an electric hose. All others had non-electric ones with the attached cord as a customer option. The Lux 4000's hose was detachable, and the Lux 6000's was not.

Thanks, Dan. I had seen something similar on a website--possibly the Bristol Chamber of Commerce's, but I'd taken for granted that it was outdated or incorrectly noted. I'm not a Facebooker, so did it mention what year the plant was closed?

I neglected to mention that Electrolux made a Dual Sidekick and Power Plug Port adapter (part # 7150-1) that could be used on the Discovery series, Genesis, and commercial uprights with the detachable cords. This was reminiscent of the earlier days of Electrolux when tank cleaners made prior to...

The Sidekick 1562 was introduced for the Marquise 1521 tank cleaner in 1987. However, it was not until 1991 with the debut of the Genesis LX 1572F and Genesis LXe 1717 that the power cord was hard-wired to the handle (first at the top, and later to the back due to the potential of shorting) to...

Well, duh, about the HEPA bag annotation in your photo--sorry 'bout that! I've observed that there isn't a lot of interest in data overall on this site--whether test results, years, models, et cetera. That said, there are those like me who appreciate it, so please continue.

Impressive testing and photo, Bill. Even if we don't know how it compares to its brand-new condition its current performance is effective. Aerus/Electrolux cleaners often get a bad rap for not being dirt diggers. Your tests indicate that a more scientific look is in order. I will say that...

Wherever Aerus is manufacturing its products it’s lamentable that it is no longer an industry leader. The number of rebadges and lack of modern design features on its customary styling testify to this. It reminds me of a MGM documentary that showed how the once mighty film industry giant had...

Isn't that the "Lite by Aerus" U163A (by Tacony Corp.) that succeeded the "FreshEra" U162E?

And, don't forget that there have been 2 Veridian uprights--like the Aerus ones and ProTeam ones with onboard tools.

I agree. It seems that Aerus uses the "Veridian" brand on its rebadged retail line. I really don't think Aerus manufactures any of its own cleaners anymore. It has become just a sales and distribution company. And I think that much of the manufacturing is done outside the US; hence the...

I'm curious to know how well this Aerus rebadge works. Description: Handheld and stick vacuum in one 22.2 Volt Lithium Ion Battery provides 30+ minutes of run time Charging base with upright parking Washable lifetime filter Dimensions: 44"H x 10"W x 6.5"D; Weight 8 lbs...

Another recent rebadge by Aerus LLC. Are there any owners among us? Description: Cleans up to 100 minutes per session Dual edge brushes ensure clean floors and rugs Utilizes a HEPA filter with a 2-year lifespan for removal of fine dust particles Large dust bin holds up to 1.47 cups of dirt...
