Aerus Lux Guardian Platinum

Every home is different. Some would fill the bag up almost every use. In fact, I installed a Allegro unit at my aunt's brand new home. She went with bagless even though it can use bags. Everytime that I would vacuum her home, the bin is almost full. The place gets more dirtier than I thought it would be.

It is my understanding…

That production of the Aerus Lux classic is currently produced in China but designed in the US. Of course with not much having changed in 30 years on this machine…yes they could say that.

The Aerus Lux classic does NOT compare to the perfect canisters. Those are lesser quality knockoffs using generic products and cheaper quality plastics. I don’t like American companies outsourcing production to China even if the quality isn’t compromised. Keep the jobs here in the US!

The Guardian Platimum colors were likely changed because Lux changed the colors, notice the US made attachments and hose have not been changed. Aerus’s focus is clearly not on vacuums anymore. In fact it isn’t easy to get to the vacuum portion of their website…instead it’s all about “Beyond by Aerus”. A once quality product now slowly fading away.

If it's true that the Lux Classic is now being made overseas, then why haven't they took the American flag off of the Lux Classic from the website? I know it was on the Lux Heavy Duty upright for a short while until they took it down. Maybe they haven't yet but they mean to, I'm not sure.

But I do have to respectively disagree with you on one thing, the Perfect or the Clean Obsessed don't appear to be cheaply made over the Lux Classic. Actually they appear to be much better machines than the Lux Classic in my honest opinion since I have used all of them before. Same with the Lux Heavy Duty upright which is the same thing as the Perfect DM101, I like those better than the Lux's own commercial upright. I still really like the Lux Classic, no doubt about it. But I would MUCH rather have the Perfect or the Clean Obsessed instead.

Regarding the Guardian Platinum, either they went with white because it was cheaper to make. Or the company that makes the Guardian Platinum was no longer making black body parts on the canister unit. There could be a ton of other possibilities.

Well

I haven’t used or experienced the clean obsessed or perfect so not sure and that would be something to compare to see. It does look like though that they use the generic hose which I have experienced and the handle isn’t as good as the Aerus. It’s Close but not as good. I had a new one fall apart quickly on me and that was the first and last one of those I bought. It also did not work with the sidekick annoyingly. I was able to get it fixed up and sent it off with an Electrolux I gave away to a friend a few years back.

Did you by chance happen to take a picture of that hose you were using? You must've had a different hose because those Perfect or Clean Obsessed hoses should work with the Sidekick. They are identical to the Aerus hoses. Yes the attachments are generic but so are some of the attachments on the Lux Classic as well.
