Received by extra set of wands from tristar today. As Daniel said exactly the same as the platinum. Thanks again. For the tip. Called my dealer and told him I didn't need them anymore since he still couldn't get extra parts yet for the platinum. He was really superised when I told him they were from tristar and the exact same wands.

<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">What were the problems with the Epic/Rennaissance/Guardian/Legacy style hose/wands/PN if they are similar to the TriStar A101/EXL/MG/CS & Lux Guardian Ultra & Guardian Platinum? I find both styles to be OK, so no more plugging/disconnecting or removing/re-installing pigtail PN cords like what I used to do with my TriStar CXL until I got extra wands for the bare floor brush.

it would have been lucrative a few years ago . Today with the new taxes on their way (Obama Care) it is way too expensive to start a business today . The Aerus store I was at had to let go of their repair girl because it was too costly to pay her and insure her was outrageous.
I just quit working for them it is too far and with gas prices and wear and tear on my car its not worth it for me . I will be buying all the Aerus and trades from them and gonna sell them on eBay along with the other vacuums I sell on eBay now .
Cool Mike yes the Paltinum parts are available but they don`t seem to want to order them yet until the sell them for a few months .

Sure does
George ,
I would love to and could afford to open up an Aerus Store and hire people but because of Obamacare taxes I refuse to start a new business and then pay all my hard earned money to the Government .
My buddy who owns the store thats 45 minutes from my home wants to sell me his store but once I did the numbers and realized the taxes they are paying it`s crazy .
Thats why they had to let go their repair girl and said most Aerus stores are run totally by the owners who also repair the vacuums . The stores are essentially a one man or woman run store . Full time employees are a thing of the past especially in vacuum stores . It was going to cost them $2500.00 per month just in taxes and insurance on top of her pay .

No worries Dan,
unless you were going to hire 37 or more people at 40 hrs a week to help you run your store, at that point businesses come under Obamacare guidelines, below that you're free to opt out...

I just don`t trust anything the Government or Obama is doing and refuse to take a chance because they are finding things in the law that no one even knows fully whats going to happen because NOBODY read the bill prior to signing it .
So unless you can 100% guarantee any new taxes that become law and pay my additional taxes I think I will just keep my money in its safe place

Hey everyone, lets try to leave politics out of this awesome thread on lux products and its history. I am so over politics after listening to all, and I mean all the BS from both sides the last two years. 
Whenever anyone asks what political affiliation I am, my standard answer is it doesn't matter, either way we are screwed.

Aerus and Tristar wands
Some of them do not interchange with each other. My wands on my Tristar MG1, MG2, MG3, and CS don't fit on my Lux 75th Anniversary Gaurdian, and my 9000, and my Aerus Lux Gaurdian. I tried. However the wands from my Aerus Lux Gaurdian Platinum do interchange with all my Tristars Just not my Gaurdians... Go Figure... Dan

Ironic how you can't take politics or taxes out
of any talk. Doesn't matter where you are. My wife opened her own insurance agency two years ago and when we got the number for health insurance for her and her employee (I'm on Medicare) and my drug policy, we realized that there won't be any real profits unless she grows and grows. It's unreal.
There's my rant and it's more than just vacuums.
Dan it really is too bad that it disuades you from opening up your own store as that's what would help the economy and from your posts, you'd give a darn and be a great service provider. In my quest for vacuums last month I realized that service is lacking greatly in your industry by so many. I ran into shysters, liars and some who just wanted to move stock at all costs. It was a strange world I stepped into, but thank goodness for Brian and the rest of you guys who have guided me along.

The
Software update for the Platinum is done at the factory to the newest machines currently being made not the recent solds .
The hose only comes out if the user doesn`t put it in correctly it is not hard to
attach .

I figured it would be something along those lines regarding the hose coming out. Surely to goodness a VACUUM CLEANER COMPANY would realize that a canister hose must be used to pull it along and design it so it doesn't pop out. Electrolux designed idiot proof bag change, now they have to design idiot proof hoses. LOL

I bought one also....
I am now the proud owner of the Aerus Platinum Guardian. Received it Thursday, but due to work, have not had a chance to use it yet. I unboxed it tonight and turned it on. I will give it a workout this weekend. The one thing I noticed is the flip over rug and floor tool, has black stiffer brushes, than my other flip over tool that fits the older lux wands. The older one has gray softer bristles. Does anyone know if the black bristles are horsehair or nylon?
Thanks for your input and I am anxious to try this wonderfully designed Aerus Vacuum.

The hose is not a problem it fits perfect every time and never pops out . Only one person in another thread who just purchased it had a problem and I know it was due to him not knowing how to use it properly . It always turns out to be user error the Aerus hose clips in perfectly every time
I use mine . Just like people complain how difficult It is to use Kirby attachments it takes me less than 30 seconds to remove the nozzle and attach the hose or any other attachment .

That's why I just leave the hose connected to the canister vacuums all the time & not disconnect the hose, unless I need to use the vac in blower mode, unclog the hose or sometimes when I change the bag.

I must be Stupid
that I can't even figure out how to put a hose on a vacuum cleaner. Well if the hose keeps coming out of my vacuum then I just won't bother using that Platinum any more. At least then people won't think I am stupid and don't know how to use a vacuum, maybe I should just use a broom.. Or is there a trick to that too??? Dan

I'm sorry thermokid...
I didn't mean to suggest you were an idiot. What I said came out wrong. I was joking about how they made the bag change so easy and this has to be an issue. If it is a design flaw, it needs to be corrected. There may in fact be a problem with your vacuum. I'd hate to think you couldn't use it.

Flip over floor tool
my flip over floor tool on the platinum is not horsehair, it appears to be black nylon and very stiff. And the gleaner bar on the rug nozzle side is just a straight round bar. No grooves in it like my other flip over tools. But maybe I'm not using that right either. Oh well since I am not going to use the Platinum anymore, I guess it doesn't matter.. At least I can turn it on and listen to the air rushing through the quiet macshine... DAN

My New Aerus Vacuums
I have really enjoyed following this thread. It seems like the new machine has some wonderful features. So far would this be the problems areas with the new Platinum:
(1) bags that come packed with the machine my be leaking
(2) hose connection to machine may not be catching and coming out
(3) power nozzle runs without machine turned on
(4) question as to where it has too stiff brushes on floor tool and if they are nylon or horsehair
(5) questionable future growth of Aerus stores-or stores that will be only be very small one person operations
(6) Aerus no longer has a one price policy-now you need to shop and make your best deal.
(7) 15 year warranty,if you can find an Aerus dealer close enough to give service in your area.
I really appreciate all the positive input on this thead.

Wow
Sounds like we have a few Aerus brand bashers in this thread .
Every new product introduced be it a new car or vacuum in this case will have
some bugs that need to be worked out . This machine is a totally new vacuum for Aerus
not just another color change like Kirby , Rainbow and others .

I wasn't upset about what you said. That was cool. I was upset with what KirbyLoverDan said. Oh well I can still use my Kirby's. I never have had any problem with them. And yes I think there is a problem with the hose connection on the Platinum for it to keep coming out so easy all the time. I guess I will have to take it to the Aerus Dealer in Montana to get it fixed. I will just have to swallow my pride and take it to them.(Kinda hard to do since I told them I was buying a Platinum from somebody else instead of them) And then turning around and taking my new machine to them to fix... LOL Dan
