I knew it was gonna happen soon! To be continued... I love this vacuum and I can't wait until I can buy one. I intend to make a video showing all parts and me cleaning the house with it. Would that interest anyone? It'll be a while though. Can you imagine what the future holds for this machine? What improvements will come with the new power nozzle, etc.? I also think the sales is a surprise to Aerus, and they might start manufacture at Bristol. I don't think they expected it to take off like this.

My Local
Aerus guy says this machine is taking off he has people calling him for demo/sales
I was the very first to purchase mine from him he had just picked them up the day I called him for mine and he was shocked I knew about it .
It is going to be built in Virginia very soon mostly because of the Euro exchange rate but also they want to build it here to keep with the made in USA that Aerus is known for .
I am looking forward to the new power nozzle and will be buying it once it is released if not just buy another Platinum .

Hi Dan, my local aerus guy sails the same thing.. Sales are so far ahead of what they projected...it truly is a great machine. Wish we could keep the other thread active so it doesn't disappear.. There is a lot of good info on it that would refer back to

Yes
Mike they fixed it about two months ago and trust me it will be fixed on our machines .
I am going to try to call Aerus tomorrow between showing houses and find out when

They will fix this problem as they ALWAYS stand behind their products .

We are witnessing this generations' Renaissance. I remember when the Ren was released although I was still a kid and not quite aware of the internals of a vacuum. I experienced a Ren in an Electrolux store. I thought it's suction was incredible at the time. The Ren was easily the most advanced machine on the market during it's (admittedly brief) time. It's a shame they couldn't continue on with that amount of high tech features. The Platinum is now a technological marvel of it's own. And Aerus and Lux have patented the double HEPA technology so it cannot be copied for 20 years. Electrolux's proprietary automatic shut off technology still has not been copied, even after 50 some years. We are talking about Aerus being "back" but they never really left. I roundly criticized Aerus for steadily stripping the high end features from thier machines with each successive model after the Renaissance. However, the Ultra was not an obsolete vacuum. It was a comedown from the previous few models, but it wasn't a "bad" vacuum. The Platinum has generated excitement, which is great for Aerus. It's exciting for those of us who stood by Aerus during it's name change debacle.

Lux Epic 6500SR vs. TriStar A101 wand compatibility & compar
Why did Aerus/Electrolux change the wand style again when the Guardian Ultra came out? What's wrong with the Epic 6500SR style wands; & why didn't TriStar use the Epic 6500SR style wands instead of the Lux Guardian Ultra/TriStar A101 style?
That's the ONLY thing I dislike about a TriStar EXL & Electrolux Epic 6500 is the tools & wands aren't interchangeable. However, I still think both vacuums are great; & really like the integrated electrified wands from the Lux Epic 6500SR (current Legacy) & TriStar A101.
Has Aerus/Lux thought about making the PN housing out of die-cast aluminum like the TriStar A101 (CS)?

you are so right they never really left its just that this Platinum is the modern day Renny . I didn`t like my Ultra`s until I forgot about the bag and when it was time to change it WOW it was packed and weighed a ton that changed my mind and not once did the suction diminish .I have loved Aerus for years and have purchased over 100 for friends and family members. My favorite vacuum is Kirby but I consider it a vacuum that I and Vacuum collectors love and a select few but my second favorite is Aerus which is the machine I feel is the BEST machine for everyone that's why I purchase them for everyone . I have purchased a Kirby for my mom and sister and they both didn't like the bulky heavy Kirby`s .
Curtis ,
as soon as I call them I will let everyone know .

Bag Full/Auto Shutoff??
Dan, is this setting controllable by the user or is it a fixed setting?
Also, do you suppose it's worth waiting to find one with the P/N fix already installed? I'm doubtful about the availability of the most current inventory in my area. At one time Houston had 4 dealers and that has dwindled down to one. Hard to believe in a town that size! I'm going to look at one tomorrow just so I can see for myself.

it is a fixed setting .
It`s up to you if you want to wait also they are redesigning the power nozzle so you might want to wait for that also .
Good luck you will love this vacuum as I and many members here do .

NO WORD YET
Hi Dan,
Everyone up here says they know nothing as far as actual details about the new upright and power nozzle updates that are forthcoming. I would like to see the new nozzle and the software update along with a return to the Silverado Deluxe metal wand with additional wands for the combo rug. Made in Bristol, Va would be nice too. I ABSOLUTELY HATE these reverse fit Wal-Mart wands and have made this more than clear to the president of Lux and the chief engineer. Poor quality and lack of creativity and engineering prowess I believe is how I described it. I am hearing there are some new water systems for next month though, I do wish these guys spent more time fixing the vacuum/bag business and less time on a product line that almost sank them in the late Consolidated Foods era. Some just never learn! As soon as I know what is up I will let you guys know. On a side note I also heard Electric Sweeper was doing training seminars at some Lux USA franchises and that they are now outsourcing even more responsibilities.

How does the aroma chamber on the exhaust work. Does Aerus sell the Aroma Therpy to go in it or do you just use a cotton ball with Essential Oils?

I would also like to know about the aroma cup. I guess it would be best to ask an Aerus salesman. I don't understand the total hostility some feel about the wand system. I like the direct connect locking feature of them and the fact you can use all electric and non-electric tools on them. Some kind of a sliding feature would help so you can fold it down for storage. I never found them "bulky" or difficult to use. I like the handle too. Somehow I don't think they will abandon this style of wand due to the fact you can use the Sidekick and the power nozzle on both wands. By the way, what is Electric Sweeper? And who is doing more outsourcing? Do you mean Aerus is outsourcing?

new bags are not leaking like the ones that came with the vacuum .
I also don`t mind the wands as I am use to them .
So far Areus has nothing for the aroma cap . I still have to call about the circuit board PN issue .

A Few Things Lux
I had an opportunity to see two of the new Lux water conditioning units yesterday. Very nice quality units. They are also to be introduced this coming month. The Sauber About Us section of their website says there are more new Sensitive Choice vacuums coming soon as well as central units too. I am thinking Lux USA and AG are more in bed together than we originally thought. Aerus is manufacturing the FloorPro/B100 for Lux International and it is currently being sold in South America. It can be seen on the Lux Equador website. I saw one of the newer nozzles for the Platinum as well but not the rumored new one. They have changed the cover color to blue-black and it does not look right with the wands and elbow. I prefer the one that is Tristar black with the aluminum decal like Mike, Dan and I have. They are also having issues with the contacts (contact block) in the push/pull hose connector that short circuits the main board in the unit requiring total disassembly and replacement. The replacement process is said to be the most fun you can have with your clothes on. A modern Renne with an Oxygen-type build setup. Using the Silverado-style hose connector would have avoided this nonsense in the first place. They are changing the hose and always stand behind their product. I love mine nontheless.
Electromatic,
I am not sure I would call my feelings hostile toward the Tristar wands. They work well, are easy to repair and extremely light. The problem for me is they don't belong on a $2700.00 vacuum when every other machine on the market comes with nice metal or telescoping wands. It is another example of Lux ramming something that is easy for the them to manufacture (read that to mean cheap manufacturing costs) along with cheap cords (Unicable), Chinese power nozzle motors (JEI) and Chinese armature bearings down the everyone's throat and it has been this way for years. Maybe we could paint the machines green and yellow and call them John Deere since they operate the same way. The new tractor I am looking at for $18K has more chinese parts on it than my last Chinese girlfriend. Two of my favorite companies Bang and Olufsen and Rolex have remained true to their values and for the price they command. It's about time Aerus Lux did the same. I am very fussy about engineering and build quality, especially when my income was directly related to it for so many years.
Dan,
Rainbow guy said today they have introduced another power nozzle with a lux-style side driven gear belt. Do you have it or have you seen it? I am thinking about buying a new E-series.
