My New Aerus Vacuums

[luxman107]

Hi Brian. I just changed to my 3rd new bag today. I have a little dirt on the hepa pre filter but not nearly as bad as with the old bags. I guess that is what the its hepa is for. There is no dirt on the after hepa which is the original that came with the machine and went through 3 or four of the old bags.

you are so right especially if you pay cash for anything you can always negotiate the price to a much better price .

I pay cash for everything from my homes to my cars to everything in between .

My late Grandmother always said if you don`t have the cash for something you want to purchase you don`t need it .

Brian ,

Sorry to hear your bags are leaking still I have to try mine I have to find the time . I am excited about the new upright I can`t wait to get it .

Thanks luxman and kirbyloverdan for the price info. If it's under $1,500 that would be a miracle. I'm really surprised they put a price that low on it at all. Considering the money paid for Rainbows and Kirby's and some of the other door-to-door models. I wouldn't mind to pay $1,500 as that is fair to me for a good long-lasting machine. I'm a little disappointed in this bag issue some are having. One says they don't leak and one says they do. Who to believe? LOL

 

[electromatik]

Oh, I almost forgot luxman. Is a little dirt on the prefilter fairly normal? I would imagine that NO bag removes ALL dirt from the airflow. Otherwise there would be no need for other filters. How does the dirt on the prefilter compare to a Miele?

Would price negotiating work if I "layaway" the Guardian Platinum? I may buy the Guardian Platinum & either the Classic or Legacy.

What will the new PN look like? Hopefully it'll have a steel brush roller w/replaceable bristle strips. Or maybe Aerus/Lux will go beltless so buying belts won't be an issue.

Fake Chinese Aerus Models

Just for fun, I dug on eBay, and this came up as the first full setup when I searched for Aerus Guardian, however looking at it, it seems off, especially things like the big orange Lux on the PN & other parts.

[electromatik]

No that Aerus is genuine. That's what they looked like around the time they were made. I don't think Aerus would let a fake Chinavac penetrate it's home U.S. market without major lawsuits and patent violations being upheld in court.

 

[kirbyloverdan]

That is

100% Genuine Aerus I own that model its the newest and last Model of the Guardian that was replaced by The Guardian Ultra .

The closest thing to a fake Aerus is the perfect brand made in China .

Christopher ,

Maybe they are sending some of us the older first generation bags that could be the reason for the inconsistency , I have yet to try my new bags Aerus sent me .

Erik ,

I had no idea they did layaway I know they have a credit card you could apply for .
I paid for mine with cash and purchase many Aerus machines for friends and family
that's how I get better prices

Thanks Chris, that's what I am thinking about the after filter dirt.. No bag is going to keep all the dirt out, that' is the reason for the double hepa.

 

[electromatik]

Yes I would imagine any bag will leak somewhat. Even Electrolux/Aerus bags, despite the company being so hateful and picky about them and the warranty, allowed dirt to pass thru the motor. I'd like to see a prefilter on a Miele machine after a few bags use to compare.

I know I am checking the filter on my platinum every time I vacuum for dust/dirt. So far so good with new bags. The second hepa, by the exhaust, is spotless - and is the original that came on the machine. I don't know if I'm just lucky or there was just a bag issue, but to me the problem is over, and I am just going to enjoy having this great vacuum in my modest collection.
Can't wait for info on new upright......

 

[luxman107]

Cliff, my second filter is spotless too even after going though a few of the original bags. The pre filter is doing the job it is suppose to do

 

[GM1982]

I have an Aerus Upright and Miele canister. The Aerus only has very small amount of dust in the bag chamber. The pre-motor filter gets very dusty and dirty. I have to clean it after about every two bag changes. The miele never has any dust in the bag chamber and the pre-motor filter after 7 bag changes is still white! Miele is known for its filtration. With Aerus they need to improve the bags to a multi layer cloth to help with better filtration. The Home solutions blue paper bags are so-so, they are definitely not as good as Miele bags.

 

[electromatik]

As long as the dirt is not leaving the machine, that is all I care about. No minor bag problem will stop me from buying it. There will eventually be a new upright because they almost always have an upright to match the canister. They do need an updated model.

 

[luxman107]

I agree Christopher, no dirt leaving the machine is all I care about also. Especially because of my allergies..
