90th Anniversary Edition Aerus Electrolux

[dysonman1]

Many manufacturers send vacuums to the Vacuum Cleaner Museum for us to test and send a report. Electrolux (Aerus) is no different. Here are the new 90th Anniversary Edition Legacy canister and Guardian upright with Sealed System true hepa filtration.

90th Anniversary Edition Aerus Electrolux

Tom,
I really like the new colors. Thanks for posting. Now not only do the machines look retro but the colors do too!
Going to see the new Aerus in a few weeks when Tania comes for a visit.
Do you know if they have improved the noise level on either the tank suction motor or the power nozzle motor?

Thanks for sharing! That canister looks great! I may have to bite the bullet and pick one up when it hits the market!!

Aerus canister

Tom is the Aerus lux legacy in the pic is it sealed?

Saw the 90th anniversary legacy addition a couple weeks ago. Really sharp looking in black. Almost picked one up. I still might

Someone on this forum (I forget who) said that Aerus was adding the noise reduction technology from the Platinum to the other canisters. They didn't mention whether the variable speed brush roll feature was being added to the others. They also said that all the canisters would be equipped with a HEPA/carbon pre-motor filter. All of the vacuums have been updated with the newer, more powerful motors too I believe. I always thought that Lux power nozzles were the noisiest part of the machine but I never found it unpleasant. They made a singing hum that no other could duplicate. A lot better than some of the screechier ones (like Kirby TechDrive). I will sort of miss that sound.

 

[mllc]

any idea on price?

Nice color combo, I like these. I contacted my Aerus rep two weeks ago about both of these machines, he says there isn't a difference besides color from the previous all white ones. Same machines different color.

 

[sleepdoc]

Pretty!

Both of those machines are beautiful, Tom! I need to visit the museum again soon.

90h Anniversary Editom Aerus Electrolux

Tom,
I really like the looks of the tanks. I think I even prefer the Classic and Legacy to the shape of the Guardian Platinum. The uprights look kind outdated but sure nice color combination.

 

[ctvacman]

Wow

Actually think the classic looks good in that color, I've always found the classic to be boring looking. Wish the guardian upright had the color scheme of the commercial, but guess I'll have to go to my dealer who was waiting for the last white to sell before he opened up the black models

 

[ctvacman]

At least

The black won't fade to yellow like all the white models did in every dealership window I've been in.

Great looking machines. Like the black a lot,.. Got a classic for a family member 14 years ago and it still works great

Can I load the new upright motor in my older uprights ?

I am mostly a Rainbow and Lux canister guy , but I love my Lux uprights. They are the only upright I will clean with because of the simple design and solid feel along with the hose being just like the pistol grip hoses on the old canisters and great dusting brush. Convenience is great, sturdiness is there, but I 'be always felt it was a bit anemic as far as the suction motor was concerned.

I own a 3000 upright I use at my Nashville place that I don't plan on getting rid of and a very sentimental Pro-Lux I'd love to put this new super great suction motor in that I hear is wonderful .
Can someone help me with this ?

Thanks and God Bless

Charcoal filters

Has anyone tried those new charcoal pre-motor filters yet? I too saw them listed on the Aerus website and I thought I would pick up a pack for my Renaissance at my Lux dealer when I was there to buy some after filters. When I asked the about these filters the lady looked at me like I had two heads and said it must be an aftermarket item, she had no knowledge such filter existed. This lady has been working at the Lux branch as a sales person for as long as I can remember, probably 20 years, and she knows me and that I know about vacuums, so I was surprised she hadn't heard of them.

The Lux dealer only had the new Legacy and Classic on display, they had the all white upright and no Guardian Platinum, which I really wanted to try out. The dealer has been in the same spot my entire life and I've never seen the showroom floor look so empty, it was kind of sad. Electrolux has alway been a popular brand in this area, I hope it's not a sign that they aren't doing well. The sales women did rave about the Platinum and said if I'm in the market for one she could get me one for a good deal. She did mention that most customers have been buying the older models because most of her customers homes have such little carpeting, they can't justify the need for all the extra power and money when all they have to clean are hard floors and area rugs, or minimal wall to wall. I love how all the machines look in black!!

Steven

I am originally from Long Island, now Maryland... but I have bought vacuums from the Commack Aerus in the past. The Aerus brand is a dying breed on LI my friend, and I think the Commack location is probably the only decently operated branch still in existence, several have closed in the last ten years there. I do have the carbon filters for my Aerus vacuums, they work great! I recommend them.

Charcoal Filters are not currently available for Renaissance, or Epic 8000.

 

[tig21er]

I apologize. They are available for the R style cleaners. Let your Aerus dealer know about these after the bag charcoal filters., even I didn't know and I sell Aerus.

The Aerus stores

Have switched to "franchise" ownership .
So that has a lot to do with physical stores closing.
It's my understanding that with the way the franchise stores are set up is the owner has to purchase each machine for the store display .(big expense)

The way it was before , the company would supply the store with all the new models for each store.
My guess is that it may be too expensive to purchase the machines ..
The Aerus brand itself is not dying.

 

[bimmer740]

George, the store on Commack Rd is the only one I've ever been to. I was born and raised in Commack, still live here, and that Electrolux branch has been there for as long as I can possibly remember. I know there was another location in West Islip on Montauk Highway by the Robert Moses PKWY but I think they are now closed. The Commack branch is half the size it used to be, they used to have a whole separate service department with a full time service man in the branch. The latest owner really needs to have the current line up on display, how else will customers be able to see or try the product? The sales lady didn't even have the Lux Platinum in stock, so it sounded like they would only get the Platinum if you asked them to order one. There is a setup for the Central Lux, and an attachment kit on the wall, but no actuall Central Lux unit. I just seems like a poor business decision to not have the current machines on display, especially since it's such a small model line up.


Brad, I always thought that Electrolux branches were always independently owned franchises. I could be wrong but maybe it's different in the US then it is in Canada?

 

[GM1982]

Aerus is just poor business sense to begin with. The vacuums are decent, but there is a lack of product knowledge, support, availability of parts and accessories and physical store locations are sparse. Some stores do okay but most have been knocked over by the internet and by competition from Miele and Simplicity, which are great machines at better price points.
