My New Aerus Vacuums

Help Support VacuumLand:

I don't know, I have dropped my miele down the stairs twice, a good fall and its still in one piece, a couple times chrome wands slammed to the floor...still in one piece. Its durable on my count then.... The Aerus leaks air from the body (canister- by the cord winder hole & upright- base of vacuum by duct) strong body and durable--yes. Sealed system and inspected/quality control, definitely NOT! Severe allergies would not recommend it.... Sometimes the Legacy and even guardian canister will leak air at the handle, I noticed this two years ago when demo in a store.

Do you like the Riccar/Simpl vacuums at all?
 
The Platinum is

totally sealed and has TWO hepa filters .

I love Simplicity / Riccar I was a Simplicity dealer . IMO they are much better vacuums compared to Miele they out feature have longer cords , hoses better attachments and out clean Miele . I like Miele but LOVE Simplicity/Riccar and Aerus as they are IMO better machines .

I have really bad dust alergies and have used Aerus/Electrolux for years grew up with them and I have never had any reactions using them .
 
Yes, the Platinum I'd agree with you....however, Id like to see if they come out with a new upright, before I go Platinum. Here's a question: Just going from my local observations, how come Miele is much easier to find and are sold then the other brands, Ex: Riccar/Simplicity/Sebo/etc.? Its seems vacuum shops like to sell Miele and even display the light up Miele sign in the window.
 
In addition... I have been to most of the vacuum stores on LI over the past two years and only two out of seven stores had them, and was not even the who line up...just a few models. Salesperson said they aren't stocking them anymore due to problems in the past with breakdowns....they show me to the Miele everytime
 
My new Aerus

I never like Riccar becuase it felt like i was using a Kenmore. I never found both brands to be all that great. Thats a nice Aerus you got there . But i would lean towards a new Tristar . I like simple vacuums like the Tristar and Kirby and Miele
 
I have never heard of TriStar... hey Im 30, so probably 1/2 the average age of most people on here.
 
<a name="start_19290.213913">I dont understand how anyone who claims they like vacuums don`t know EVERY brand made that includes one`s that are out of business too ? </a>
 
Dan, that was just plain rude.  Maybe that wasn't your intent, but that's sure how it came across.
 
Sorry that not everyone isn't as much of an EXPERT as you...  In fact, you use that line "I'm shocked that someone who claims to be an expert...." way too often and it really bothers me.  This is supposed to be a place of learning; not shaming someone for not knowing something.  It's wonderful that you have 400+ cleaners, used to sell vacuums, have fixed vacuums... etc.  So share your knowledge with other members, don't be surprised that everyone doesn't know everything. 

 
Instead of saying what you said,  couldn't you have posted a picture of a TriStar and said -- "Wow!  Never heard of a Tri-Star??  This is what one looks like; they're great machines..."  ?

Thanks...

...well that's an interesting vacuum. I was able to pull up the website. Very cool. How much do they go for?
 
Yeah

I kinda felt that was a little rude too . Im on here to learn too . Im not a expert but im willing to learn and i want to
 
To be honest, I didn't know about Tristar until I started reading this site. There's still a few brands I probably don't know still, the ones that went of business I mean. I find Tristar's website humorous in that it claims THEY build the best home cleaning system but that's what Aerus also claims. I know Tristar is owned by Aerus, but still, it's almost like they are competing with themselves and cancelling thier marketing out. LOL
 
Aerus leaking

Hmmmmmm.

I have owned the Kenmore canisters in the past and this (other than the short that developed in the wands) was my biggest complaint. You could feel air coming out of the cord area and it was obviously NOT sealed! That's why I only wanted to use the hepa type cloth bags only in those machines.

MY Epic 6500 doesn't have a hepa filter, but only an after filter. When the machine is running, I feel ZERO air coming out of any part of the machine EXCEPT straight out of the after filter. Nothing coming out of the cord area or anywhere else on the machine.

...perhaps that model does not leak air. Go to an Aerus retailer or if you know of someone who has a current Legacy model or the Guardian Upright like I do, turn on and feel the underneath of the Upright near the duct hose at the base before the power head and you will feel air blowing out from the connector cord. On the Legacy you will feel air escape from the cord winder hole and/or the handle sometimes. I do not know if this is every machine, as it could just be hit or miss. It happens to mine, I think the air passes through the bag and then gets forced through the seams by the duct hose before getting pushed out through the side HEPA filter.

Everyone on this post seems to ignore this, touting its such a great brand, its the best... nothing is the best! Yes the Platinum is much more solid, but the other models have small issues if you really look them over carefully. My Guardian does not even have LED headlight, something I wish it did. I like my machine, but the S7 is better IMO

I own 25 Aerus vacuums all from the past 7 years up to todays newest Guardian , Ultra , Guardian Uprights , Legacys and now Platinum . Plus purchased around another 50 for family and friends .

I tried all of mine and only air comes out from filter area no where else .

I called my Sister ,Mom ,best friend and Brother and asked them to try all of theirs and same thing no air leaks either .

I owned an S7 it cleans well but is very heavy and bulky and bag changes are difficult compared to Aerus . Plus in the first 3 months the Electronic speed control burned out and had to be replaced twice .

Aerus Kirby Rainbow and Filter Queen are the best IMO !
 
Your welcome

Matt ,

It does suck trying to get a great price but I always have been lucky and always use cash as my weapon of choice to get the best bargins that includes car purchases . I hope you get a great price and enjoy your Aerus for many years .

I know this may not be easy for evryone but if you can it works out for the best savings .

So question:

Has Aerus/Electrolux always advertised their vacuums as being "sealed"?

I find it very hard to believe that a premium brand like Aerus would not have sealed their vacuums since at least the 90s!

Another thing I find strange with my Epic 6500 is the bags. With the type C bags that mine use, they feel so much cheaper feeling than the Kenmore paper bags, yet in the Kenmore, there was always a fine dust all throughout the bag compartment, yet in my Epic 6500, there is no dust at all in the bag compartment. It's funny to me that the bag that feels/looks to be lesser quality works better. Perhaps it's the way the bag fits perfectly into the compartment. I know I think an Electrloux Aerus has GOT to be the most idiot proof when it comes to bag changing. It couldn't be any easier to change a vacuum bag in these type of machines.
 
The Guardian

Paltinum is it first sealed system .

Areus/Electroulx has always been ahead of the others in filtration , always had multi-layer bags from the very first bagged vacuum they introduced . They have yet to jump on the filtrete cloth type bags because they`re bags filter very well.

In every Aerus/Electrolux I have owned or a family member and friend has the bag compartment is always clean and dust free .
 
No NYCwriter, it is not a good price. They can be had for under 1500. Got mine for way less than 1500.
That New York guy is trying to rip you off at 2700..to to the aerus web site and use the dealer locator button and call around.
 
I have never

until now heard of an Aerus gooing for over $1800.00 . It is sad that NY stores seem to over charge customers I guess they think everyone in NY is a Billionaire even if that was true they should be fair and not try to rip people off .

An Aerus Guardian Platinum should be purchased for well under $1500.00 peoiod .
 
The Aerus store in Orlando says they retail for 1799 but will sell to you for 1100. Got mine for a little less since a got one of just about everthhing they sell except water purifiers. Email me if you decide you want one and I will give you the name of my local rep and his phone number if you are interested. Even for about 70 bucks shipping it will still be less that what they are quoting you in NYC.
