    Help! Shopping for New Vacuum and Overwhelmed

    Oh, as I said there are other Aerus stores. I was just put off, plus i realized I didn't need to spend over 1k and decided not to go that route. I would have bought from an Aerus dealer on this board or through Brian if I went that route most probably.

    I am so glad I found this board I was going to get screwed if I didn't do my homework. I do wish I had the bucks to get the new Lux. That would have been easy, but there are so many choices and they are all pretty close. I wish that Lux could offer the new one for under 1k for everyone. If...

    I had Kirby stop by last year and when I realized how messed up the pricing was I decided I wouldn't be buying one, but I sent them to my ex who did buy. I found out that they would let the whole thing go for 1000, I told my ex. That's exactly what she paid for her Kirby (everything including...

    Seems like Aerus is still the top brand in vacuums. I went to a bunch of stores and I made sure I went during 'off hours' so that I could truly test drive and not take time away from the owners, but I was very serious and open as to what to get and where to get it.. Every place I went sold...

    nYC I fully appreciate that. My wife and I are talking about getting a small condo in the city in a few years possibly and we speak about stuff like that all the time. I'm so happy you went to Lux. Brian has been telling me about his and I wish I could have afforded it. I loved that one as...

    Durango Thanks and I'm glad we are good. Your email helped me narrow things down. The full bag test was great and a real eye opener for me as well as the store owners. I only dealt with the owners of the stores as I was going to negotiate and I didn't want the middle man. I told the owners...

    Wish I could have afforded the planium Lux That honestly was by far the best one I tried. I could probably gotten a great deal on one and if things were a bit different I would have bought one. Say what you want about Lux and yea they are overpriced but is there anything else comparable? I...

    NYC I didn't find many that have the smaller power nozzle, just the turbo ones. Maybe Miele does offer that. That's a good question, which ones offer that? I never even gave that a second thought. See different choices for all. I love it.

    Sorry it didn't work for you Hmmm, I did a TON of research. Not many basic consumers would have found a vacuum board to try and get input I don't think. No I'm not in the business, but I like nice things. It's too bad you had such a poor experience with the D4, but like I"ve always said...

    sebo fan Loving that longer hose and cord. It makes a world of difference as you can clean quicker. So far it's taken everything I can throw at it and I can now say things look and smell much cleaner. It's gotten most of that Oreck dry cleaning powder up that I was using for years. I don't...

    Durango, go check out that video and see what innovations they have on this machine. Top suction so it never looses suction with a full bag. Ultra low readings on the exhaust. The most innovative hose around. Bottom line for me is that it works and the place looks great. I have no blisters...

    The handle would bother me if I used it much. I just roll it in and out of the closet and the seam doesn't bother me. I agree that it should be designed better. As for the hose, I love the fact that it's got a Venturi effect design. It has picked up things that my other vacuums haven't...

    Brian, I agree that lights an get in the way, but sometimes you love to see what you are getting into, lol. That said, I just finished getting under a few pieces of furniture and the one thing no one really talks about is how easy it is to get under everything. I now wont' have dust bunnies...

    I was told by two folks who sell the Royal that they still aren't sold on them for the cost. NYWriter, I take it the Simplicity Moxie isn't in your search? If it is, let me know as you can get one cheap and new about three miles from me. I'd set you up. You may even be able to get a D4 for...

    GM Yea, I learned a TON. Funny story is that I was visiting a friend who runs an auto dealership when my call came in that they accepted my offer. I was working with a new sales person there and he was a good guy. When they asked about the call, I told them my offer for a new vacuum was...

    NYC Writer Good luck with your choice. I was torn every time I read this thread, lol. I realized that it really comes down to personal preference on any purchase. That's why all companies make consumables and they all have price ranges and different models. In the end it's tougher when you...

    Guys, I understand all of that. I can get a Moxie,new, locally for 550 or so as he's going to drop selling the canisters since Miele moves better for him. He sells Sebo, but hasn't had the D4 in since Miele will sell over it. He'll give me a GREAT deal on the disco floor cleaner is i get the...

    I think it's become overload to an extent. Over thinking on my part maybe. I think that I'm getting carried away with cost possibly as I read everyone's threads etc... Everytime I think my mind is made up, someone else comes up with reason's I should go elsewhere. I think all will be top...
