Have not been able to find any confirmation. TriStar's website seems up and normal but that doesn't tell us much. Knowing how idiotic Joe Urso is, I wouldn't put it past him...

Glad to hear she is still active with the vacuum collecting/interest community. Pity she doesn't post here more often. It is strange that there aren't more. Stereotypically, women were deemed the "housework" duties and should theoretically be interested than men, but of course we see worldwide...

Now that this subject has been breached... I have often looked back thru the archived pages of vacuum meets and conventions. There used to be a lady named Tania who showed up in many of these photos. Yet, I see no evidence that this person is here any longer. Not to seem nosy, but what...

Aerus LLC makes its own hoses, power nozzles, wands, and attachments. Of course they want to sell their own. There is no reason why they should feel the need to import this from Lux International. All they would have to do is modernize and build upon their Classic and Legacy models and they...

@ electro: That is exactly what happened. These machines are made in Europe by/for Lux International. Aerus LLC imports the machine and adds on their hoses, wands, nozzles, and tools which are made at the Bristol plant. @ DJub85: If you go to the Aerus vacuums website, you can click on the...

The power nozzle in that video is CLEARLY quieter, unless it is just something with the video sound quality. Certainly sounded less screechy. Now if we can just get Aerus to build a WHOLE machine themselves...

And that two-tone color scheme looks like what it is-a mismatch.

They did exactly what I thought they would Nothing. Just a color change. No new advancements or styles at all. So VERY disappointing.

Almost everyone has "heard" of them... I've never met a person (at least those I've discussed vacuums with) that did not know they existed. Most Americans probably think like me. The payoff of central vac systems just isn't worth it. I'm just turned off by the maneuverability issues of having...

Even better news so far this year. Carpet sales are up even more strongly in 2021. Up a whopping 18% in the first quarter. https://www.fcnews.net/2021/06/carpet-resurgence-may-have-lasting-implications/ They cite technology improvements as one major reason. Modern carpet is far better at stain...

After decades of decline in carpet sales and the constant declarations that carpet was "dead" comes a sharp turnaround. Carpeting sales are rising rapidly again. Despite claims to the contrary, carpet retained market share of 50-60% in flooring sales in the U.S. Carpeting began to outstrip hard...

I never liked any of them. The "falling over" problem happened on EVERY upright my mother owned or myself ever owned. In addition, the hose almost never reached far enough to suit me, even with the wands. I always hated uprights, so I admit I am biased. Canisters just always seemed more...

@luxlife That's certainly crazy. Only THREE stores in the whole of Texas? As huge as Texas is, that is not many. All this name-changing and confusion it brings is not helping their case. When I came across that very recent WCYB report about the Bristol factory, I noticed they stated...

@beagledad Absolutely! They went thru that whole name-change rigamarole and for WHAT?? Electrolux AB's vacuums failed in the US market and I've been hoping that they could get the name back, but I seriously doubt it will happen. Electrolux AB will never let go of it now that they have other...

@ S31463221 They have been doing a lot of strange things in recent years. I just hate to lose yet another legendary company... Hopefully it is nothing to worry about.

@huskyvacs That is a strange situation. One now wonders what the point of the name-change to "Aerus" really accomplished?? I wonder if the vacuums will still be sold as Aerus or with the ActivePure name? Weird situation.

I thought so too panasonicvac. What about this "formerly known as Aerus" business? And the fact that the video doesn't show or discuss vacuums at all. Still uncertainty about the situation.

GAH! I hate my typos! That second paragraph should read: One thing is certain. The Bristol plant is still in operation. It is making air purification products at the very least. Whether they are manufacturing vacuums and shampoo machines there now is anybody's guess.

More conflicting information about Aerus has come to light. This news report from the Bristol NBC television station WCYB appears to suggest that Aerus is now known as ActivePure! Have they changed AGAIN??? What is their focus now? So little conclusive information. One this is certain. This is...

Yes the Kirby is outdated All of those vacuums mentioned above are easier to use, quieter, and less clunky than a Kirby will ever be. While the Rainbow is somewhat cumbersome to use, it's still far ahead of a Kirby in the modernity arena. And yes, some of those are outdated also. The Lux...
