Wow Dan your Platinum still looks brand new. Are you supposed to polish the stainless every now and then to protect it? The Art Deco based styling cues are so clear to me... I'm surprised more haven't taken notice. I can also see that the style of the canister is closer to the Lux Renaissance/Guardian "bullet" style than the older "boxy" style of Lux International's last one.

That's how everything I own always looks brand new .
I've done nothing to it but use it I guess I'm just very careful and have been taught well to take extra good care of every thing I own .

You'll never find a scratch or paint from rubbing along baseboards .
I am the same way with everything even my cars people always ask
if I just bought my cars because they always look like they just came
off the sales floor at the Benz dealership 😁

Dan ... Another question for you. I see that you also have a kenmore intuition. Mine will be here tomorrow and I'm wondering how you like it, if you have used it all that much? Can't really complain considering I got it for 45$ on eBay lol ... So if it "sucks" I will use it for my cleaning biz 😃

I like mine I may have used it 4 times but it's a very good quality vacuum for being sold in a department store . I did just buy the newest Kenmore Elite upright .
I used it for 10 minutes so I will have to try and use it a few
more times to see how it really compares . Seems like we have
similar vacuum tastes 😛

LOL yea looks like we have the same tase in vacuums and in cars! I tend to use some of my vacs for a little longer then a few minutes, especially if I need to use them while cleaning a home. Love Love Love my Sentria and did wonderfully in a two story home when my hoover windtunnel was in need of bags. So, I will have to give the kenmore a run for the money to test out how good it is. Like the detachable hose/wand, such a pain in the ass on the hoover fiddling around with everything. But its such a powerful vac it makes it all worth the fiddling LOL

Ill drop you a few lines and let you know how it goes, especially interested in the direct dirve brush roll!
 
Very nice collection. I like the Aerus canisters way better than the upright. The upright is not sealed or well constructed that it blows 500,000-695,000 on a scan. A good amount of air leaks through the bottom duct. The side HEPA filter does get 0. To anyone with allergies, not a great machine. The lux legacy is much better, no leaks of air and the electrostatic filter gets close to HEPA standards. At the negotiated price point, Riccar canisters and uprights are superior in every way I feel. The performance of a Radiance is so much better. Quality, Quality, Quality

Thank you for your opinion but that does not matter to me one bit .
All this nonsense about totally sealed machines and sealed homes
is in my opinion why so many people have allergies and various sicknesses
today . You never heard of all this vacuums blowing 0 on some stupid scanner
someone invented to sell all those sealed vacuums . My grandparents and
parents NEVER had allergies and they used cloth bag Kirby and Hoovers that
blew a million percent on that scanner your so into .

Aerus uprights are QUALITY George so is every Aerus product the uprights
are a top choice in my family and of all the uprights back to the very first Discovery I
Purchased for my family members to their newest Legacy uprights are all still working problem free they are the most reliable/user friendly upright Vacuums since my family gave up their Hoover Convertibles .

You see how many different brands I own I can give them any machine they desire but they all chose Aerus uprights except two aunts who prefer Aerus canisters . So you enjoy your two vacuums and my family will enjoy their Aerus uprights .

Dan
 
The point of a vacuum is to pick up dirt and dust and contain it, not send it back into the air. Allergies aside. Its 2014, technology has come along way
 
Thank you

Once again George enjoy your two vacuums and I will enjoy my hundreds .
I have no idea how I've made it in my vacuum collecting of Hundreds of vacuums for over 40 years
plus managing a vacuum shop owning my very own vacuum shop plus working for Kirby Aerus
and Rainbow without your experience of going to a few vacuum shops trying some
vacuums for a few minutes and owning two vacuums .

Dan
 
The very act...

.
of vacuuming kicks up dust.
I am allergic to dust and feel the only really significant development in vacuums in many years has been better filtration.
That said, at a certain point the background level of dust in the air is far higher than what comes out of most vacs. I read it some where, here on VL maybe, "our homes are not clean rooms" like in a chip fab. Carpets, mattresses, furnishings, all harbor some dust even after the best vacuums are used.
Forced air heating is bad news for me, as is a vacuum with regular unlined paper bags.
But when you get down to these parts per zillion meter reading worries perhaps you shouldn't have carpets or a vacuum at all. A recent study concluded just that, i'm too lazy to find the link right now.
I do not really know enough about the Electrolux/Aerus brand so i won't comment specifically there. But i will say one of the coolest looking vacs i have is this sweet orange and deep green Prolux2000 upright.
