Some new(er) finds

[blackheart]

I found these two lindhaus aria canisters at the alexandria vacuum shop. I was actually on my way there to pick up bags for an aria i had picked up from ebay, which was returned due to the condition of the vacuum, and found the two of these in his trade in pile. I figured for the price i could take them and if need be i'd have parts for the one i was awaiting from ebay.

I've been waiting to get my hands on one of these for a few years now. They have more airflow than any other powerhead canister i've ever used, reading in at 7.5 at full power.

And a carpet cleaner

Another machine i've been after for a while, and i finally found one for an acceptable price. I've only used it twice now, but i've been rather pleased with it.

Love my bissell

It's the only carpet cleaner that I've used that I've been pleased with.

I had both of those Lindhaus', fantastic machines esp the blue platinum with its two row brush. However all of mine had the same weird electronic issues where they would "stumble " during operation.

"stumble"

I know what you mean. I have one hose for these and it also has an issue with it restarting. i'll eventually be getting a new hose. For now i just set the elite to max power because it overrides the hose on/off switch.

Man, it doesn't seem to matter how expensive and well engineered a vacuum is, problems with hose electronics seem to plague every vacuum that has anything more complicated than a simple on/off switch out on the handle.

I always felt it was in the main canister since the hose is a simple three way switch, but it probably creates some kind of communication issue. Luckily Lindhaus is a small operation in the US and Joe the president is great to deal with.

I love that PN so much that I had my vac dealer order one from Lindhaus for my central vac. It looks identical to the setup for the canister but the top part of the wand fits into any plasti flex hose. Obv put the two row brush in.

Hm

My friend Josh said he's never had to open an Aria, but he's had to replaced hoses and wands. I have heard of them having hoses problems for 3 different vacuum shop owners i'm not sure what it is about the hose that causes them to fail it's a shame though as i consider the Aria to be the best performing canister i've ever owned.
