The current Lux Guardian Upright has a stronger motor than the previous generations’ uprights. It comes with an electric hose and a side kick, as well as 2 wands, crevice tool, combo dusting/upholstery tool. I know it cleans better than the older Epic canisters. I’ve not yet got to use a Platinum so I can’t answer for that. The Guardian Upright does groom the carpet very nicely and is lighter than most full sized uprights. It also is not very loud in comparison. I’ve used a 20 foot extension hose on mine and still had impressive airflow and pick up. You can get aftermarket HEPA bags on Amazon. The brand of bags I got is DVC.
