Help! Shopping for New Vacuum and Overwhelmed

[ctsooner]

great choice

make sure you give Brian a call. How many Lux dealers do we have here. I bet you can get it for between 1000 and 1200. If I could have gotten it for 1000k I probably would have gone for that. It seems like a great machine.

How funny Matt....

I was reading a few things on Miele and found this. It made me think of you and this thread. I have not had a recomendation because I believe "to each his own" but when I read this it made me laugh.

So did you get the Lux

Platinum? After such a long thread, inquiring minds, lol.

 

[fooseofhoove]

Hello Vacuumlanders! Had to comment on this amazing thread, I've really learned quite a bit from you guys. Just love it!

I could have purchased another one from Aerus in Savana Ga . It was going to be $1000.00 shipped free with free bags and no tax because it`s coming from out of state .

I am an Aerus dealer as well. If there is anything I can help you with feel free to shoot me an email. [email protected]

Good choice, going with the Platinum. It really is an AWESOME machine!

 

[eurekaprince]

Never mind a good price....just go with a Miele S8 canister with the flashlight on the handle! The telescopic tube takes up less room in the closet than the Aerus Platinum's two-part tubes.....and the attachments store under the cover of the canister. You can always attach an extension cord to the vac to make up for the shorter operating radius. And you'll get a much quieter power nozzle that deep cleans carpets better!

 

[nycwriter]

Sorry, Eurekaprince ...

... I've already ruled out the Miele in favor of the Lux.

 

[eurekaprince]

Yay! You've finally decided! I'm actually excited for you Matt....

Just curious - is it completely made in the USA? If yes, that's a big plus going for it....giving much needed work to your citizens.....

We want pics and YouTube clips!

congrats

GREAT choice. I was just answering an email from someone on this thread and he asked if price was no object, which one would I want. If I could sell my D4 for 750 with the box of bags etc, I think I'd pick up the Lux if I could get it for 1k with no shipping or tax. I only played with it for a bit but I really really liked that vacuum and I'm not a vacuum guy like you guys are. LOL.

 

[nycwriter]

Yes, eurekaprince ...

... I'm just now looking for the best price. Some new friends on this board have reached out to me, so I'm considering offers.

I've never posted a YouTube video. Don't really know how to do that. Here's the irony: I WORK IN TELEVISION. I've produced network broadcasts (not produced *for* network broadcasts, but actually produced them as an EP), but I honestly am so inside the industry that I can't fathom "producing" any video product without the help of an ENG crew including a shooter, audio tech, and videotape editor (not to mention the "dot-com" techie to actually upload it to YouTube).

That's perfect. I used to recruit accounting and financial execs (headhunter) and most were late on their own taxes and had others do it for them, lol. Let me know if you get one for 1k with bags and free shipping. I could be really tempted at that price and would probably put my D4 on the market at that point, lol.

7 P style bags come with the platinum. Even having a German shepherd that is enough to last me almost 6 months and I vacuum almost daily including all the furniture baseboards and everything else in the house. I don't believe in dust rags or swifters, so I vac everything

Lux PLatinum Bags

Luxman is correct,


You can stuff a ton of dirt in the style-P bag and they will almost seem like a brick when its time to change them. I too have a dog and think most will use about 6-12 bags a year with this vacuum. It is nice that the Lux bags, unlike cloth bags, are cheap and of good quality.

[ctsooner]

now you all have me rethinking

I love the D4 but if I could have gotten the Lux for 1k, I would have run after it. If I could sell the D4, I'd probably make that switch based on everything, lol. Headed out to vac place here in Venice FL to get a pre filter for my parent's upright Panasonic that someon forgot to put a bag in during the last change ....I'm down here to put their house on the market and get them moved into an assisted living home, lol. Have house cleaner coming tomorrow (and she's excited to become a Juice Plus rep with me). It never ends, lol.

 

[nycwriter]

ctsooner ...

... coulda woulda shoulda.

Just love your D4. It's a great vacuum.

 

[cue003]

@nycwriter, have you got your Lux yet? Curious to see you take after using it in your own home and not in the showroom.

 

[nycwriter]

Haven't ...

... made the leap yet!
