    My New Aerus Vacuums

    Flip over floor tool my flip over floor tool on the platinum is not horsehair, it appears to be black nylon and very stiff.

    Made in the USA, does it matter? What is truly built to last?

    Kirby's Last and last. The vacuum I use everyday is a 53 year old Kirby model 560 and it still works great.
