A favorite family

Brand Aerus Electrolux

Lux 3000 my family loves Aerus uprights the ONLY
upright with an Electric mini powernozzle (sidekick) still way ahead
of the competition . Bag changes couldn't be easier .

Aerus Uprights, they're okay. Have you tried to get the new Maytag Mo2or Upright. I think this will dance circles around any Aerus or Miele Upright. Probably the answer to anyone with 50% hard floors and 50% carpeting. The power, suction, filtration, agitation look solid. Plus you have tools ready to go, no connecting and disconnecting.

George I have the

Riccar Radiance which is similar to the Maytag . It is an awesome machine and is much better in ways than the Aerus and Superior to the Miele S7 but my family prefers the Aerus upright because its lighter and they are used to carrying the tool caddy with them and just lift the flap insert hose and do above floor cleaning simple yet effective .
I do own the new Maytag M500 light weight a favorite of mine .

I see your miele's paint also started to scratch off the hose handle, This is what I am talking about , I know how you take care of your machines and for a High end machine the quality simply isn't there anymore 

 

[kirbyloverdan]

You are

Exactly right Gareth I don't wear a ring and I don't stick it in tight spaces nor drop it . It just started to show those scratches out of no where . Plus the rubber grip stuff is pealing .

I think they took their success and cheapened the product relying on a reputation they once had to carry them through to save a few $$$ .

Plus that SHORT hose drives me KRAZY and the tiny toy dusting brush is a joke .

I like Miele's upright better than the canister. Miele vacuums are designed for European homes. The average European home tends to be a townhouse/duplex type and are smaller quarters. Even single family homes tend to be smaller than North American homes. I suppose in such a situation that long hoses would be a liability rather than a benefit.

I live in a tiny 1000 sqft 1920`s Bungalow and the Miele S7 is way too bulky to get around it bumps into all my furniture where as my Kirby Sentria II fits every where perfectly .Any product can be Americanized to please us a longer hose and larger tools wouldn't hurt them .

I don't think one more foot or two of hose would be a liability its just Miele being cheap. I own many canisters and Miele has the shortest hose out of all of them .

Aerus vacuums twins no less

Aerus Lux Guardian Ultra one on left is first one made
one on right had improved PN with LED lights and they added
the flip rug and floor tool back .

Although it obviously doesn't say "Electrolux" - it's cool how they put "AERUS" on the side of the machine. Definitely a nod/throwback to the XXX.

Do you have the latest one,  Forget what you guys call it there.  

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Fred

That is great I never thought about it that way

Dan

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Yes Gareth

you know I have all the latest high end vacuums

I purchase the Aerus Guardian Platinum when it first came out . My Aerus guy called me while leaving the sales meeting that he had two and I always buy the first one he receives .

I will post the full picture later I have the one with the Stainless plate on the PN the newest ones don't plus they quieted the PN which I don't like either Aerus?Electrolux has a distinct sounding PN . I never thought it was loud but I think my Kirby Sentria II and others aren't noisy either

Dan, have you used your new Electrolux much? If so do you like it? I want one, but don't want to be disappointed like I was with my Guardian 75th aniv. Like my Renaissance much more and it has a cooler wand lol

Jay,

I have had the newest Lux Guardian Platinum since last November and love it. Previously I had the Lux 9000 and 6500. The Platinum is so much more quieter although I don't really notice much difference in the power nozzle noise. I do like the smaller handle for when using above the floor attachments. Also the multi speed and auto function is a nice touch.

I love and use my Guardian Platinum Aerus a lot . It is an awesome vacuum and I love that they brought back a metal machine . The wand doesn't have the controls of the Renaissance but it has the brush roll on off switch . It cleans really well and filters great also two internal HEPA filters. It is the best Aerus in a very long time .

I have the previous LUX version, and was not impressed with the EU style hose and pn, but the machine was well made


 


ARE the USA versions made in the USA ? or Hungary like the EU versions 

 

[VacManJay]

Thanks guys for the great info on the vacuum. Will see how things play out, keep finding nice vintage canisters on eBay LOL

 

[luxman107]

Lux platinum country of origin.

Gareth,
The USA version of the paltinum gets complicated. The hose , power nozzle, above the floor tools are made in the USA. The canister parts are made in Europe and assembled in the USA.

Here is a

Picture of mine I bought the very first on the East Coast

I prefer the original PN with the SS plate .
