My New Aerus Vacuums

[mark40511]

On my epic 6500

I know that rubber seal you're talking about and it's a GREAT seal. Doesn't leak. I can't BELIEVE they took that away. On the Kenmore this was a problem because when the bag slides onto the collar and you close the bin lid and put the hose on, it's not as good of a seal as it could be, and the bag chamber gets dusty and I think people think the bags are leaking when really it's the seal that's not so great. I'm sure some dust would still leak through the bags, but I think the majority of it is from the seal not being good......I hope they fix that !!!!!!

Congratulations

John what a great review . I will have to look into the bag collar once I receive my new bags .
I too think this machine may have too much suction but I think it's perfect for my thick frieze' carpets .

Yesterday I vacuumed with my new Rainbow E series onyx after I used my Aerus and I barely had any
dirt or sand in the basin and that's unbelievable to me as it
never has happened to me doing a follow up cleaning with any other vacuum .
Enjoy your new Aerus John I surely do love mine

Aerus Gaurdian Platinum Bags

I have filled up three bags in my new platinum and the bag chamber is really got a fine coating of dust on it. i tried to find out where to get the new bags at for the machine but so far no luck. But I will say one thing the Platinum sure makes the nap on the carpet stand up. And it is Berber carpet. And now it actually has a soft feel to it when you walk on it. Does anyone know how to get hold of Aerus to getg new bags? Dan

Are the Areos Platinum bags made of a Filtrete type material-maybe the bags should be larger to allow for the power of this vacuum.Usually Filtrete type bags can be packed more full than paper type ones.

 

[electromatik]

Yes tolivac...

The bags are made to Aerus specifications by Home Care Industries Inc. formerly of N.J. but now operating in Va. and N.C. The bags aren't really "paper" at all. They are a woven type of fibers mixed together. It's actually more closely related to fiberglass than paper. Home Care Industries has a website with info on the bags. They also make numerous other companies' bags and have a license with 3M.

P.S. this thread is getting so long we may have To Be Continued on another...

Just go to Aerus.com and call the 800# and tell them about the bags they will send a new HEPA and a pack of bags .

they seem to be the same as the ones i have so i doubt they are! i called the 800# and no luck the lady told me she had never heard of the bags leaking and i would have to have it checked by a Aerus service center! Kinda frustrated! errr [this post was last edited: 2/19/2013-01:24]

I called and told a lady the same thing last week and they said they are sending me a pack of bags and a HEPA filter .She did call my local Aerus store to check if I was legit and I already spoke to the owner who sells me my Areus vacuums and he confirmed it for her . She told him one other person called to complain and they did the same thing by sending them bags and a filter .

Here is my Lux platinum pair

Mike

they look great on your hand scraped hardwood floors .

They look spotless thanks to the Platinums .

[luxman107]

Hahahahahaha. Thanks Dan. Just had 1100 sq ft of old builder tile ripped up and wood put in. They just finished last week. Go new carpet too in the bedrooms

 

[electromatik]

Love your flooring. I like hardwood in dining rooms. That Platinum vacuum has an Art Deco look and feel to it. It is unmistakable. I want one but I'm going to wait until the updates come so I can get the best performance with it.

 

[cue003]

@luxman107, those floors look great. The platinum duo fits in perfectly.

That is very smart thats what I should have done after learning my lesson with the Guardian Ultra when they improved it I went a bought another . I have to learn to just wait a few months and then purchase the newest vacuum what ever brand it may be .

Mike ,it was well worth getting rid of the tile for those beautiful hand scraped hardwoods.

[electromatik]

Self restraint is hard for me too! But my deserve to get the best will allow me to hold off. I'd like to get a new Ultra also for my Mom.
