Hi Matt, I apologies for your confusion. So just to clarify, yes the Perfect and Clean Obsessed are more affordable than the Lux Classic. That's one thing that I do like about them better. Also, I do like the bags and the motors better on both of them compare to the Lux Classic. The only thing that I like more about the Lux Classic is that it's assembled here in the US. However, not everything on the Lux Classic is American made. I've sold the Perfect vacuum when I was working at a local vacuum store and I'd say the quality is about the same as the Lux Classic. Overall, I still think the Lux Classic is a good vacuum. As I said before, I still would buy one for myself personally. But for anyone that is looking for a new vacuum and are looking at a Lux, I would first show them either the Perfect or the Clean Obsessed before I would show them an Aerus. Or if they are on a budget and they still want a Lux, then I would show them a used Electrolux or an Aerus that uses an old school two stage motor in it like this Aerus 5500 as I think they were one of the last best Lux canisters ever sold. The thing that I don't like about the one stage motor on the newer Aerus models other than the Guardian Platinum is that they are not serviceable. I definitely do agree with you on one thing, there are many of you out there that are still crazy for Electrolux and I totally respect that. If you came into my store and are dead set to buy an Aerus regardless it it's new or old, I would be more than happy to sell you one
