My New Aerus Vacuums

[kirbyloverdan]

The Ultimate in Performance and Beautiful Design

The Lux Guardian Platinum is designed to be stylish and durable, with intuitive performance, so you can create a clean, healthy home. Despite a high-powered motor, operation is exceptionally quiet and two sealed HEPA filters ensure the tiniest contaminants are captured and clean air is released. Featuring sleek design and stainless steel appearance, the Lux Guardian Platinum is a sophisticated appliance. With intelligent features such as the Automatic Operation Mode that senses what type of cleaning you are performing, and the System Indicator to alert you when maintenance is needed, you'll find everything you'd expect from a high-performance floor care system.
•High-Powered Motor - Features an amazing 505 air watts and 116" of water lift.
•Remarkably Quiet Operation - The Lux Guardian Platinum features an aerodynamic air guide design and multi-layered sound insulation.
•Sleek Design - The stainless steel design is protected by a special anti-fingerprint finish.
•Performance Indication - A System Indicator alerts the condition of operation including suction level & automatic mode, prefilter notification, full filter bag and over-heated motor.
•Intelligent Suction - Suction control can be adjusted across 8 levels according to the task you are performing. Control manually or automatically. Use maximum power for vacuuming floors and deep cleaning, medium power for vacuuming upholstery or dusting and minimum power for delicate cleaning.
•Simple Maneuverability - The 3-wheel guidance system makes the canister easy to pull as you vacuum. A rubberized coating prevents scratches on wood floors and ensures quiet operation.
•Convenient - An Automatic cord winder easily stores the 28-foot cord.
•Versatility - Top-mounted power switch is operated with a simple foot tap. Switches located on the handle adjust suction and turn off the power nozzle brush roll when using on hard surface flooring.
•Ease of Use - The unique L-shape power nozzle provides 4-sided cleaning and self-adjusts its height between types of flooring.
•LED Headlight - The Lux Guardian Platinum features a LED headlight that makes it easier to see in dark areas.
•Effortless Assembly - The patented Push & Pull Connection System makes inserting and removing the electrical hose effortless. The hose rotates 360° on both ends and the handle features an ergonomic design for comfort.
•Unique Parking Positions - The canister features two power nozzle parking positions, one on the side of the canister for interruptions while cleaning and one on the bottom of the canister for storage.
•Automatic Protection - If an object becomes tangled in the power nozzle brush, the circuit breaker will automatically shut off the brush to prevent damage. A built in thermo coupler protects the motor by shutting it down if it overheats.
•No Worries - The Lux Guardian Platinum features a worry free ownership with a 15-year limited warranty

All my New Aerus Vacuums

I decided to buy the The Lux Guardian Platinum and received the Fresh Era free .

I also purchased Two (2) Lux Guardian Uprights . Next to Kirby Aerus is the best

bagged vacuums out there IMO . My family has owned Aerus (the real Electrolux)

since the 40`s and not one has had a problem ever .

Quality made in the USA : ) fresh era is not USA made but a great machine .

Ultimate and Beautiful

Dan,

I am very pleased with my Lux Guardian Platinum. In my lengthly conversation with the President of Aerus last week, I learned it was designed by them and partner Lux International AG over a 6 year period. Excellent performance, super quiet and the machine offers superb results in its current form. I have a German Shorthair pup and there is NO dog odor with the double HEPA. I made numerous suggestions as far as hose handle, wand and power nozzle improvements. Changing the double helix OEM roller (48497) to the 48011 Lux Green HPO roller from the Lux 9000 boosts soil removal in real-world testing from about 75% to about 85% or so, making it pretty close to the performance of the Miele 236. Lux used to figure about 20% improvement in soil removal with the 2.1A motor in the Omniflo nozzle. This is very evident when mating it to the Lux Floor Pro with Kirby Lavendar soap. Carpets stay cleaner longer with this vacuum.

Guardian Upr Airwatt Numbers

Dan,

What are the airwatt numbers on the Guardian Upright? When I sold them they had the V-bulkhead and Domel VM 3's like 380 or so. The website is showing 318 and that can't be right.

Brian

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Brian

I love Aerus if I don`t grab my Kirby Sentria II or My Rainbow E4 Black I use my

Areus vacuums most it seems . I am pleased with the Lux Guardian Platinum the

wands never bothered me but that`s what I like . The problem with a more aggressive

brush roll is it damages carpets . The Lux Guardian Platinum is my Favorite bagged

canieter vacuum . I sold my Miele and Sebo canisters and uprights because I did

not care for them . The only other bagged canisters that I own and prefer are

Tri Star , Vortech Force , Filter Queen , Riccar/Simplicity and Miracle Mate .

The Upright I hear is 425 air watts .

 

[luxflairguy]

Now that's a vacuum cleaner! Could you measure the length of the hose? It looks longer in the pics on the website, but...Thanks!

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Luxflairguy

the hose measures end to end 7`8" which is very long . Longer than my X-Miele

Capricorn plus this has adult sized attachments not the toys that my X-Miele`s

had .

GUARDIAN UPRIGHT

Dan,

That sounds better on airwatt numbers. Seems like they were just partnering with Johnson Electric for the brushless suction motors when I left. I am told the Guardian Platinum is a Dome motor. I too like Tristar for durability and excellent mobility. FILTER QUEEN is a super vacuum and it is difficult to beat Kirby for performance and durability. Love Sebo and don't mind Miele when someone else is paying the bill. Have had all of the above for several years.

I would like to see a tear down on the Guardian Platinum. How about you go first and post the pics since you have more experience?

Brian

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Brian

I would love to tear it down but I don`t have the time . It does look very easy

to take apart . If you go to Lux International website they show it apart and show

the motor and all internal parts .

Dan

 

[rainbowjoel]

Beautiful Luxes you got there. I love your picture.

 

[kirbykid]

how much did it cost???

 

[fantomlightning]

Uhhh....

Hasn't this machine been out for a few years as the Sauber Intelligence? Not only that weren't there claims of unreliability and electrical problems? More information would be appreciated.

[kirbyloverdan]

I paid

$1000.00 for my Lux Guardian Platinum canister which came with the free fresh Era .

My Guardian uprights were $500.00 a piece .

I get a discount because I buy many Aerus products yearly and give to family members and select close friends .

I am not the typical buyer as I buy in bulk around 10 every year not just one .

All problems have been worked out years ago thats why this one is going to be reliable . The problems stemmed mainly from the hose controls . Plus my 15 year warranty leaves me worry free .

 

[luxman107]

Got my lux platinum about two months ago. Love it. Very quite and all the good old fashioned Electrolux tools.

Dan

Beautiful lineup of machines you have there! I've been wanting the guardian platinum ever since I got to see one up close last October. In fact, I'm in the process of trying to get one and hopefully I'll have one myself soon. They are awesome machines and I really can't wait to add one to my lineup! Congratulations on your machines you have there as I'm sure you'll get many great years of use out of them!

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Steve

Thanks I know you will love it as I think its worth every penny . I would have paid full price for it if I didn`t purchase so many Aerus vacuums over the years .

Super quiet and super powerful Aerus is back I can`t wait to see the new Upright
thats in the works .

I always trust Aerus even when I owned my store and Sold Miele as an Authorized dealer . Aerus canisters can`t be beat IMO I liked Miele but I love Aerus period.

Aerus (Electrolux) was the first to introduce multi layer filter bags they had filtration down before anyone !

Dan

 

[mieles7]

When did Air-Way introduce their bags? I always heard about how they were the first to have disposable bags and great filtration because of this.

I love Aerus Vacuums

This looks so cool. I supposed the tools don't store on board though? My friend (Joanne) told me her vacuum was dying and she used to have an Electrolux years ago and it lasted for decades and she saw an Electrolux at Kohl's and was going to buy it. I had to tell her that what she saw is NOT the REAL Elextrolux and explained to her that if she wants a real Electrolux, she should look for the name Aerus (Electrolux). So sad about the name change because people think they are really getting Electrolux when it's not even close to it. She ended up buying a used real Electrolux on Ebay. I like my Epic 6500 a lot but this baby looks like it would put it to a crying shame.

 

[s31463221]

Mark

I agree, it is a crying shame that the so-called Electroluxes found in big box stores are nothing even close to the original Electrolux vacuums from yesteryear...I too have had to explain to many family and friends that they are NOT the real thing and won't last 20+ years like their original ones did!

If you've not had a chance to see one in person, I would highly recommend going to a vac shop that has one and trying it out...I was SO impressed with the one I got to play with in October! They are super quiet and have as much if not more suction than a central vac has! I have been drooling for one ever since!

 

[luxman107]

Hi mark,
The tools kind of store on board with an attachment to the wand like the lux ultra, not on the canister itself like the legacy.

 

[kirbylux77]

Dan, do you know what is going on with the Guardian Ultra canister?? I thought it was discontinued, due to the Guardian Platinum coming out, but yet it is still showing up on the Aerus website. What gives?? WHY would they keep producing it when they already have the Legacy & Classic as lower-tier models?

Rob

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Rob,

They are toying with getting rid of the Classic or the Legacy. I think it will be the classic according to my guy who owns my local Aerus store .

The Guardian Ultra is a big hit which I find hard to belive . I own one and was
shocked how full my bag was when I replaced it for the first time .

I thought it was just an OK vacuum until I replaced the bag . People love it because it is light weight and simple to use .

Dan

 

[luxman107]

Dan, have you ever had to empty the bag on your platinum yet. I found it to get really packed too before the change bag light comes on. We have a German shepherd so we go through a bag about very third week.

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Mike

not yet as I only used it once and put it back into the box .

I use my Guardian uprights and those bags get packed full also .

I just used the new Upright today as I retired my Blue and white the previous model Guardian because the new one is more peowerful.

I find everytime they bring out a new Upright they ad more power to them which you can really notice .

 

[mark40511]

I have NEVER had my Epic 6500 shut off on its own. I always changed the bag WAY before even close to being packed. I don't think I've ever owned a bagged vacuum that I let the bag get to the state of being packed. And that dial on the top, not sure if it even really does anything. I can't tell.

 

[kirbyvertibles]

Dan you sure have great taste sir!!! I love my Aerus machines as well as kirby, vortech, patriot rainbow and tristar!!!

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Thank you

Phillip I love Quality vacuums and collect mainly high end Vacuums .

Just like my cars I drive their moto is "When Only The Best Will Do" and "The Best Or Nothing "
I feel that way about my vacuum cleaners I choose to collect .

I haven`t purchased a big box Vacuum in years , I wish they would improve them but
I have heard Hoover is on it`s way back to Quality Vacuums I sure hope so as I LOVE my Convertibles , Decades , Supremecy`s , Dial A Matics , Concepts , Elites and Legacy`s ect .[this post was last edited: 1/10/2013-00:09]

 

[luxman107]

The platinum with its P bag does get that solid brick look and feel like all the C bag canisters when full.

Mark, the dial on the lux vacuum does effect how full it lets the bag get before they automatically shut off. The new platinum does not have an adjust dial or as they called them on the old metal canisters,"retard" dial. If u turn it all the way to the right the bag will be less full when it automatically shuts off and the bag indicator light comes on.
