Aerus Lux Guardian Platinum - Latest Thoughts

[countryguy]

I've had mine for 5 years. For the most part I like it although I have never liked the bulky wands and hose handle. The hose handle is slightly smaller though than on the 6500 and 9000 that I had. When I visited the vac museum Tom gave me a brush roll with stiffer bristles - it made the world of difference to the effectiveness of the power nozzle. Mine does not shut off either when the bag is full - only the light turns on. Also it will run with no bag in place. Although the bags are small, they hold a lot of dirt and get packed solid before the light comes on.

Thoughts on the Platinum

Hi,

Some time ago I converted my Platinum over to the Euro wand, hose and attachments. Mine uses the Sebo ET-1 and I have both the Plastiflex faux braided hose and the one for the commercial canister that is about 10' long and almost identical to the Riccar Impeccable hose. I love the hose handles and telescopic wands of the Euro machine and the performance upgrade over the Aerus power nozzle is significant. The combo dusting, floor and Aerus crevice tool are better, although I like the automatic floor tool as it sits flat on the floor. I also like the Aerus urethane hose sans the Wal-Mart hose handle and wands they are so proud of all these years. The SwissAroma scents work well in the scent chamber. I filled 3 bags to capacity after I quit using the Aerus power nozzle and switched to the Sebo. Will post some pics when I have time.

converting hose

How did you convert the hose end? It sounds like the conversion allows the hose to use other main stream power nozzles.
