@mike811 That's interesting but I wonder why they went with a SEBO powerhead instead of Lux's powerhead? They must of thought it was better than Lux's own design. You are correct that SEBO's powerheads are quieter than Aerus powerheads. Aerus did reduce the noise of their powerhead a few...

@funeraldirector Aerus isn't about to use the Sebo power nozzle. No company is going to allow another manufacturer to horn in on it's products if they can help it. There is nothing wrong with Aerus' hose and power nozzle except perhaps they could make improvements to the brush roll to improve...

*The above should have read Lux International AG

We have to keep correcting people The Aerus Guardian Platinum vacuum is not made by Electrolux AB of Sweden. It is made by Lux International AB of Switzerland. These two companies are TOTALLY separate and neither owns nor controls ANY part of the other. Also, the only arrangement between Aerus...

Electrolux name change I have been secretly hoping that Electrolux AB's vacuums and appliances would fail in the U.S. market and they would be forced to withdraw. Realizing the mistake they both made, I secretly hoped they would offer to sell the Electrolux name back to Aerus LLC. I could...

Wow! Are you serious dysonman1? You wouldn't be cruel enough to tease us like that, would you? Now I AM excited.

My opinion about Shark is that they are a textbook example of what I think has happened with vacuum cleaners. Vacuums have been turned into commodity items. Whereas vacuums used to be a major household appliance like refrigerators and hot water heaters, and were expected to last a long time...

Very unique machine There was a U.S.A. company called the Bee Electric Company. They were popular in the early 1900's. They sold vacuums in N. America under the Bee-Vac brand name. The machine you possess looks close to these machines, but as you can see in the link below, the bee-Vac sold in...

I totally forget about HSN They absolutely should pursue that to build awareness and sales but Urso seems uninterested.

How do you get them looking so good? Another like-new Lux. I actually like this model better than the XXX. I love that blue/yellow/red color combo. Another Top 5 dream machine.

Simply stunning Very nice looking machine. You did a good job making it look new. I'd love to own one of those.

@opelgtkarl Now I get it. I thought you meant a headlight on the machine, which some of the oldest models did have. I've seen some with a naked bulb under a hood like protrusion.

I see no lightbulb socket in the Energex. I love both of those Kenmore uprights in the last pic. That black and red really looks good. Never knew about those and never have seen them.

To tell you the truth, that vacuum looks nearly as modern as many vacs today. That crinkled metal might actually be better than polished stainless as it might not be as likely to dent so easily. And I also think they should go back to the top ventilation so you can always have the blower and...

@human Yes, You Can't Always Get What You Want is one of their finest songs. Love that album-Let it Bleed.

@luxlife Wouldn't that be an incredible vacuum innovation? It might even eliminate the need for filter purchases and everything. Yet they do nothing to the vacuums. It's almost like they have given up on vacuum design.

@myles_v I don't know how well the company is doing because I don't have their financial info. However, if they are doing poorly it is because Joe Urso is an idiot. He has made poor decision after poor decision. Surrendering the Electrolux trademark name in North America was beyond idiotic...

I noticed that too I had not looked at the Aerus Wikipedia page until your post. Very strange wording. It would appear that Aerus is going to discontinue the vacuum business. It is not totally unexpected. The vacuum cleaner industry is downsizing, consolidating, and entrenching. There are...

@gregvacs28 I actually don't have any experience with central vacuums. I'm just noting the realities of them. Even if the weight of the hose is less, there is still a lot of it to deal with. The noise might not be a factor unless you are right next to it in the garage or wherever it is placed...

I agree with the poster above that the cleaner you ENJOY using is the better one. People define "better" vacuums in different ways. I have a Kirby and while it leaves me no doubt it is cleaning the carpet very well, it isn't keeping it inside. I know that it isn't sealed and the bag leaks. It is...
