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

Finally

they are both made out of metal again .

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 was quoted $2700 for the new Lux Platinum at the dealership in Manhattan.

Good price?

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 !

Matt

that seems rather high try to get them to come down on the price and make sure they throw in a few packs of bags .

I get a special price because I buy many machines . I have heard of people paying $1500.00 -$1800.00 sometimes if you pay cash they give a better price .

Good Luck
Dan

 

[nycwriter]

Thanks, Dan ...

... frustrating that buying vacuums, like (absurdly enough) mattresses has become as much of a headache as buying a car.

 

[kirbyloverdan]

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.

 

[kirbyloverdan]

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.

 

[kirbyloverdan]

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 .

 

[luxman107]

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.

 

[luxman107]

Btw any aerus franchise will service you and homer any warranty.

 

[luxman107]

Sorry that is honer any warranty.
Will try to post a pic of my platinum tomorrow
