I know there was a thread a while ago, but I wonder if there is any new information. I'm having trouble finding the vacuum. Is it widely available? If not, what is the hold-up? I am interested in the machine, but I am curious if anyone has tested it thoroughly? Such as cleaning performance and...

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...

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...

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...

As a person who really loves canister machines, I have been surprised when shopping around. It seems many manufacturers are stripping down their lineups and offering fewer features and models than ever before. It is getting harder and harder to find a company that makes machines with all the...

I am getting ready to purchase a new vacuum. I have been interested in Tacony machines for some time. I am ONLY interested in a power nozzle equipped canister and there will be NO EXCEPTIONS. I have the following questions that I would appreciate some help with, preferably by someone who knows...

Looking at the most recently updated Carpet & Rug Institute lists, Tacony's products passed these strict tests with flying colors. Keep in mind that these tests are the most robust and stringent in the vacuum testing business. When they pass, they pass, and when they don't, they don't. They run...

One thing I noted was the noise level-seems very quiet. Quieter than I thought in previous videos. I struggled to hear the power nozzle. Others have seemed critical of it, but I don't know why.

It's a version of the "Lite" series. Lithium Ion battery powered. Looks similar to the Tacony machine. Does this mean Aerus is partnering with Tacony to build these? Could Tacony possibly be about to buy out Aerus???

I have been shopping for a new canister vacuum cleaner and I went to YouTube to check out Tacony's machines. I came across this cute video showing a young boy doing a mock demonstration of a then-new vacuum. (The vacuum is awesome-very powerful yet very quiet with all the "bells and whistles.")...

I was recently going through Aerus-related Facebook pages and I came across a page for a store in Wilmington, DE. They had a photo of two upright vacuums with the words "coming soon" in the description area. The photo was dated Dec. 24th, 2015. It doesn't look like they are marketed as of yet...

A while ago when the Aerus Platinums were being discussed on here there were a couple of people who said they could help us get a good deal. I wonder if someone would talk to me via email? I can't use the site's messaging system yet so I thought I'd try here. I will provide my email below. Let...

Given that my last thread was an unmitigated disaster (sorry about that), let me try something else. Please no fighting. LOL This gentleman from Richmond, Virginia is an Aerus salesman and he posts a lot of videos of his products. This is the bare-bones model of Lux in the U.S. However, as you...

I don't know if others find these types of videos humorous, but I do. This guy is "testing" vacuums. He features one of my favorite vacuums-the Electrolux Epic 6500 SR. I am aware that he lacks scientific rigor, but still the results are revealing... I also couldn't help but notice the noise...

I bought a new handvac and I chose the Shark Pet Smart. I realize most here (me included) sometimes consider Shark's "toys" rather than vacs, but I think they make good hand vacs. I bought it because I was immediately struck by the attachment that aids with hair pickup. It reminded me somewhat...

I just came across this on Youtube and thought it was interesting. I noted how they describe the machine as being "sealed" for more efficiency. It also happens to be my favorite 1980's model.

The Carpet and Rug Institute gave out a new spate of awards for vacuums recently. Among them was the Aerus Platinum vacuum which was awarded Bronze. This means it removed 40-49% of soil in 4 passes averaged over 3 separate test periods. Silver is 50-54% of soil removed in 4 passes and Gold is...
