    New Aerus Line?

    Agree with the comments regarding the hose and wands. Would also like to see 'on-board' (the tank) attachment storage. Perhaps add a lower cost straight suction version to the Platinum offering with the ability to add a power brush later. L.P.

    Non Genuine dust bags....opinions ??

    Revisiting the Miele dust bag topic. Many Bed Bath & Beyond stores are displaying various bags & filters. Their online store finder allows an inventory check of the products. The store $5 or 20% coupons apply. Nice discount on the consumables. L.P.

    Riccar 'Immaculate' or Miele s8 'Uniq'

    Certainly a bit of a disappointment. However, there are a small percentage of failure with any electrical or mechanical part. You had a very early in life problem that will be solved in warranty and likely never happen again. The Riccar looks really nice and all the best for many years of...

    I wonder if the cordwinder could be the root cause. Have had similar problems with my Miele.

    Electrolux or Aerus Consumer Reports?

    Very interesting discussion. I'm not at all worried about the quality or performance of the older models and the now newly launched beautiful 90th anniversary units. I've seen them in action and they are quite nice. I only wish the Platinum Guardian had the tools fastened to the canister in...
