That's good they make a strainer for it. I imagine you need one sometimes if you have a pet or a lot of carpet fluff. When I buy a Rainbow, I have it all planned out. I have a sizable yard so it will be poured outdoors just like my mop water. I have a separate bathtub that I don't use since I...

Seems we have a new anti-Rainbow thread already. Before anyone (other than Rexair people) has seen it they know all about it! Amazing! Be that as it may, there are some flaws is your post... 1) There is nothing wrong with Rexair's power nozzles. The human eye cannot judge cleaning performance...

One thing I noticed from that blurry video was that the motor unit of the machine seems to TILT backwards on a hinge. They are claiming the water basin is slide out. It would appear that you no longer have to fool with latching and unlatching the machine to remove or insert the water basin. Or...

This sounds very promising and intriguing I like the sound of this. I've always wanted a Rainbow but the scary high cost has kept me from considering it. I could really use the shampoo capability. This sounds totally worth the cost what with all the tools and so forth you get with this machine...

The only thing this makes me feel is exceedingly depressed. It really shows how far vacuum quality is falling. We didn't used to have all this cheap junk. Even if you bought a department store brand decades ago, you still had the expectation that you would get reasonable quality. From Eureka's...

Paul's claims are somewhat misleading. He seems to be claiming that Lux International "controls" or "owns" Aerus. It does not. The page he posted says that Lux has a "distribution partnership" with Aerus, which is true. Aerus has an arrangement to import and sell their machine (the Guardian...

This is very strange. I've never heard of AireJett before. It's a new brand name created by Aerus. TriStar operated throughout North America as TriStar. There is no real reason to create a new name.

thanks@luxlife Can you explain this? http://www.airejett.com/

Recently I looked for the TriStar website and was not able to find it. Instead I found Aire Jett which looks exactly like the TriStar. They describe themselves as being part of the Aerus family and have Dallas listed as headquarters and Bristol as the manufacturing plant. Searching Aerus Aire...

I think the primary culprit behind this is the general public. People today are just not interested in these "old-fashioned" machines that aren't totally automatic. They probably consider them too heavy and too cumbersome also, if they encounter them at all. I doubt most people even know about...

lol... hysterical

It's getting increasingly difficult for the American public to get hold of a true "high-end" machine. Most of the U.S. companies have discontinued the fully featured canisters. With Tacony's cancellation of the full size models, there is now no major U.S. manufacturer with "controls on the...

Boy this battle will never be won, will it?? People will always moan if it does and moan if it doesn't. I imagine that Aerus has seen the repair rates those features have on other machines and knows the failure rate is very high.

@tlfinland You are right about few owning the S115. There will be almost no one in the U.S. that ever will own one. Few people in the U.S. are aware of Lux International's existence. They have no operations present here and do not sell here. Lux International and Aerus are *not* the same...

LOL... Oreck_XL failed to keep calm... haha I thought it was serious at first glance but I DID read on for more. I am not quite as naïve as I used to be. Always wait for more info before panicking. haha

The new S115 from Lux International looks like it no longer has the stainless steel body. It has a floor power nozzle with a different shape and different electronic controls. I'm not sure what other differences there are.

Hi and welcome. You look very young. Good to see a younger face.

This sort of thing is why so many are rising up against "globalization." The ideology that we have no control over anything and that loyalty to anything is wrong has made people realize what an unpleasant world it is becoming. A world where supranational and transnational organizations control...

Almost all handvacs are made in China. In this era of "me too" styling, it's difficult to tell a lot of things apart. However, the shape is slightly different and the vents are different in the two vacs above. The most American vacuums today are Kirby, Rainbow, Filter Queen, and some Aerus...

@texaskirbyguy That's so sad but it happens more often than people think. I don't think it used to. Back in the olden days when vacuums were expensive pieces of equipment that would last 20 or 30 years people tended to take better care of things. Many things have become so commoditized and...
