Electrolux Guardian Ultra & Platinum - Multiple Qs

[mark40511]

I just LOVE these style of vacuums (by that I mean the shape of the Aerus/Lux vacuums) and the way the bag fits them. They are great vacuums but the ONE thing I hate is the two tools I use the most (the hard floor tool and the dusting brush) don't fit on the vacuum. That's the only thing I would change that I can think of because that's what the quick disconnects are for, so you can stop, change, clean area, re-attach and move on......but you can't do that with this vacuum unless you carry the attachments while you vacuum. Lucikly, on my epic 6500, I'm able to sort of lay them on top of the vacuum as I vacuum because there's a couple of small areas they sit on, but sometimes they fall off.

You're welcome for the information, Rob. I read your first post too quickly, though, as I thought you mentioned owning a LGP. Anyway, I agree that the N137W was more attractive with the stainless steel trim, but I'm sure the company needed to make the N137Z easily distinguishable from it (for their benefit as well as customers') which necessitated omitting the trim.

Thanks for the feedback, Christopher. In rereading reply #1 about the black marks I discovered that the writer was talking about the bumpers marking his white woodwork--not the wheels. I would think that Aerus could correct that issue by using the same or similar rubber material used in the non-skid shoes I mentioned. Thanks for posting the vids.

Re: Reply #23 - Dave, you have some sound ideas for improving the next Legacy that are reasonable and would undoubtedly make it a better quality design. I encourage you to send them to Aerus.


All: I can imagine that Aerus is at the drawing board working on some of the revisions for the LGP mentioned in this forum. It will be interesting to see how many of them are incorporated into its future models. As such, I'd rather wait before getting serious about purchasing one.

Power Nozzles for C153D, C170A, and C177A

I located some photos of the power nozzles discussed on this thread--with the addition of N173T for the Lux Legacy. I don't think there was a N137X or N137Y. If that's correct then the LGU had two companion power nozzles (unless the LLs and LGUs were paired with the same models of power nozzles). All I have to go on are Vacuumland threads and eBay listings that mention tank models and power nozzle models together. Yes, I realize that some tanks and power nozzles may have been independently-matched rather than factory-matched which leaves a margin for error.
