My New Aerus Vacuums

Platinum Upgrade

Software Upgrade


I forgot to mention the software upgrade in the new units kills the power nozzle powering up when the unit is off. I have not seen one of the new ones yet but I think there was one other change as well. Dan can fill us in this week I'm sure. I believe the European one is set up the same way mine is.

If anyone knows how to teach a 19 month old German Shorthair Pointer to wipe her feet before she hits the white berber, please send me a PM.

The things you are saying are making me positively GIDDY. lol

 

[luxman107]

Brian , is there any way of getting the software update if you already own a platinum. Thanks

 

[funeraldirector]

Software

Mike,


I think that was manufacturing-specific on the software upgrade.

Once I start at Aerus I will look into that problem as I don't feel the machine should operate like that .

I can't wait until the new upright arrives it will be very exciting . Guess I gotta thin out some of
my vacuums to make some room for the newest upright .

Lets hope the new upright has some sort of on board tools, LED lights and swivel head, which might be pushing it....It's Aerus, lets see what happens, and hope they don't blow it with the same body recycled again just in dark grey with LED lights.

I'm sure it will be changed. Those who are familiar with Electrolux/Aerus history probably know that thier power nozzles and upright brushroll motors were essentially one and the same. An Aerus upright IS the same as an Aerus tank. Since they are working on a new power nozzle for the Platinum, you will see it on the upright as well!

Thanks Brian and Dan. It is the one feature on the machine I don't care for. Other wise the platinum is such a great vac, I can put up with it. As I said before I think it is lux's best machine since the model G, of course in my humble non expert opinion

 

[kirbyloverdan]

You are

welcome Mike ,

I am excited to be apart of this awsome company and can`t wait to get all the inside things about Aerus .

I like the omni flo

I know most of you want to see a new p/n. But I have to say I like the omini flo power nozzle! It's a great cleaner IMO! I would like to see at least a remote switch on the handle! They can keep the speeds on the tank but just put the 3 position switch on the handle so you can turn in on and off! That way they don't have to use computer boards or triac's! A part of me likes the plastic wands with but I agree some new metal ones would be nice! I am just not a fan of telescoping power nozzle wands! I don't mind them with a floor nozzle I just dont like them with a pn. As I think lady's extend them too far and beat up there power nozzles with them! I have a few good friends that are still with aerus! None of them have said anything about a new upright! I guess we will have to see what they come up with

And I am glad my videos have helped when it comes to collectors wanting to get new vacuums

Hey Dan 


 


We got the Lux I the previous version to this machine, While that machine itself is Faultless its hosing was a problem, With no on off button for the PN and if you wanted to clean around the edges with the pipe you had to unplug the wires at the elbow. For what it cost here in SA this was below par, They have obviously fixed these on the new version which you have

Daniel

you are so right about that PN I love it also . I am a fan of the wands too.

I think I may have purchased a Riccar TOL canister from you a year or so ago on eBay ?

Hi Gareth ,
Thanks for the info I love this machine and like Daniel posted I want an on/off switch on the hose also .

Dan

 

[luxman107]

Any one know if there is a way to get the synthetic bags used in the intelligence from lux international?

 

[utahprideboy]

No Riccar

i still have my 3 Ricarrs but it might have been some other person here in southern utah as the store i work at sells a lot of Riccar canisters

 

[funeraldirector]

Cloth Bags,

Wondering...


If several of us got together and bought a few cases from Godfreys in Australia or New Zealand (Sauber Intelligence) or if anyone here speaks french the Lux France site (francepurification,com) is excellent. Who wants a homework assignment? I would like to put the european braided hose, telescoping wand and the neck adapter that snaps on the bottom of the direct connect wand. The neck adapter connects to...the Sebo ET-1 power nozzle. according to that site it fits but what about being designed for 220 volt. Should work ok with 115v I would think?


Brian

 

[luxman107]

The braided hose would be awesome.. I tried linking on the international site to order bags but cant get past the country to order from

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Daniel

I thought it was you must be someone else . I will have to try and figure it out . It is an 1800 Premium used once it was like brand new and smells brand new .


 


It would be neat to try those synthetic bags I am sure some after market company will bring them out like DVC or someone like that .

 

[luxman107]

The French site is great. Wish I New French or at least be able to figure what the price tranfers to in US dollars. They got the braided hose too.

 

[countryguy]

The braided hose is 160 euros which is approximately $217 USD - not inexpensive by any means. The telescopic wand is 60 euros or $81 USD

The site below does currency conversion.
