The only fault I can find with the Guardian is that bit of exhaust air leakage near the back base of the machine. It's not a deal breaker for me, but if I'm going to try to pick it apart, that's the only issue. I like so much else about them - especially the reliability and how they groom.  ...

I recently bought an Electrolux Guardian...... .....that had been demoed and purchased, then placed back in the original box and stored. It was pristine. It was as close to the Renny styled Guardians as I was likely to find in that condition, and I wanted to keep it that way.   I requested...

If you can get "in the door" and show people what these vacs are capable of, there's no doubt of the thesis of this thread. Especially today, with people being very concerned of allergens and such. Problem is, in an era of hyper-security and general distrust it is tough to get in doors...

I thought that might be the best move...... .......to simply equip this with the standard double helix. I took the machine for a 15-20 minute test drive today on the shorter pile plush carpet, and the green roll is noticeably "grabbier" and does lift the nap rather quickly. However, having done...

Some may have noticed my recent postings and membership here, in an attempt to educate myself and use said education to restock my vacuum needs for the recent home acquisition. I settled on a couple of Guardian uprights, floor pro, and the Guardian canister.   Being a bit unsure about the...

Aerus/Lux Guardian....... ......in as minimally used/babied condition as possible.

Thanks for the info - unfortunately this forum's favored listed supplier for these (totalvac) is now out of them, but it is good to know what I would be looking for in any case. Guess I was too late finding this forum to take advantage of this.

NYC - that only reinforces my point: if it's not available in a place like NYC - a city that would have just about anything in terms of specialization - it's not available much of anywhere. Your points about security and time are also well founded - again, DTD is wayyyyyy behind the times for...

I agree with NYCWriter..... .....about the advertising.   But on the topic of "we all shop the same stores", some of that is a product of market forces, and NOT necessarily a conscious choice. The days of plentiful specialty shops selling premium goods is disappearing, which lands a number...

The other issue with retail...... .....is the sheer numbers of machines that a company like Aerus would have to build for today's retail market. If they went into a chain store like Best Buy or Sears - just ONE of those companies would require vacs in the hundreds of thousands if not millions...

I think the Silverado...... ......is the best built of all of the more modern Luxes. That machine reissued with a modern feature set would be the best move Aerus could make.   That said, I find a LOT to like in the more recent machines. I really like my Guardian canister, despite the HEPA...

Late model Luxes..... ARE hard to buy. Current models aren't seen much...which means customers like them and they stay out there in homes.   Little story about my Lux Guardian upright search:   I've had this machine on my radar for a few months, having decided to rework the vacuum gear...

I got through to the Lux service department..... .....and found out that there WAS an earlier motor in the Guardian upright. The high rev/airwatt motor is more recent. For the benefit of the forum, I can tell you that there are definitely two versions of this machine - an earlier motor, akin to...

.......always been the same motor throughout it's production?   I ask because I have one bought from an Aerus dealer, and I liked it so well that I bought another one via Ebay. The machine arrived today, and all looked good with the machine, until I powered it up and immediately noticed the...

Question:   Is the Electrolux replacement brush roll for PN5 and PN6 the same as the brush roll for the Guardian canister and all the recent uprights? I have Guardian canister, Guardian upright, and Legacy upright and am wondering if these are all the same brush roll, since there's a well...

My view on "collecting": I am one who will "stock up" on goods/parts for areas of interest (hobby) or use (vacuums) - but not to the point of hoarding beyond anticipated use.   Examples:   I am an audio enthusiast who has a decent array of gears, divided into two systems: One home...

I recently got a used version/late model..... ......Guardian as well, and I am very impressed with the machine. While I was one who was entirely used to the metal body "Super J" style of yore, I find a LOT to like in the Renaissance style setups. That tank, despite being plastic, is really well...

That Little Pro..... ......looks like a neat little gizmo - I do wonder however if the battery is one of a kind, thus dooming it to obsolescence. It also appears that it uses it's own special brush - it would have been neat if it used a single Floor Pro or 2100 series brush, making it easier to...
