The PERFECT Electrolux Commercial upright

[electroluxxxx]

back on topic...

yes, Tom I do agree that it nice to sell such a quality cleaner. at least parts are easy to obtain and they are interchangeable with lux parts. The quality is also about as good as Aerus quality!

Harley is a huge old pussy

Fat and furry and mean to everyone. Maybe it's because his balls were cut off early on. He's 17 years old now, so I figured this was the time to put him to use.

I brought him to work today so he could roll all over my black walk-off mats. The new Perfect Upright, with it's serpentine belt and auger-type brush bristle pattern pulls every one of his little hairs right up into the HEPA bag.

I'm keeping the mats with the hair on them for demonstration purposes. I know I could use Kapok, but the hair of a real pussy is always best. It lets people know what to expect when they get it home.

I think the correct term for a male cat is Tom

Yet it still didn't stop him from peeing up the wall.

Bless his little heart.

I for one...

Have stroked that pussy many a time! I’ve never felt a bigger, softer, hairier pussy than Harley!

On board tools on commercial vacuums-no point in those-the uprights are used for floor cleaning ONLY by commercial users.The tools are used by the backpack and other commercial canister vacuum users.

I was just at my local shop the other day, and found out they are carrying Perfect cleaners now! The time I saw it, the shop owner hadn't even turned the machine on yet. I am talking about the lightweight upright. Once the shop gets to be a real showroom, I'll be able to test it out. I'll ask if he's thinking about ordering one of these Lux style uprights anytime soon. It's great to see Tom walking through the vines of this forest of argument, and stick to what his original post was for. I've never met Tom, nor spoke to him, but one day I will, and it'll be lovely.

Thanks, Garrett T.

Hey Garrett

I love all the Perfect brand machines. The company is so easy to deal with.

The light weight model sells really well, it's not too expensive for folks to buy. It's a good machine.

I love the blue and chrome upright. Every thing anyone could want in a wonderful carpet cleaning machine.

Who knew the Perfect light weight upright also is labeled as a Clean Obsessed. I sell this model to the college here in town.

Tom, that's a great looking vacuum. I can't wait to hear one in person someday and notice the sound tone difference of it versus a cogged belt one. The airflow sounds great. I hope they sell like hot cakes for you and other vac shops who get them.

Kirbysthebest.... I don't know you and have no idea who you are, but I hope you sleep well with your cruelness. I find it extremely unprofessional how you just waltzed on here unloading a garbage heap and spreading it.
Shame on you sir, shame!!

I'll comment on Tom's generosity too...

I've met Tom a few times and he is a generous, kind soul filled with knowledge and has been a great friend. Ever since meeting him a few years ago at a convention, I've tried to make annual trips around my work and of course 2020 has been hard with Covid.

Last year when I saw him, I was surprised by the gift of a brand new old stock Hoover Quadraflex PowerMatic. He knows my heart is in power nozzle canisters, especially Hoovers. It was extremely kind and unexpected.

On prior occasions, I've received other freebies in form parts, machines and labor. He fixed a Simplicity Verve canister vac of mine and all I had to pay was one way shipping. He covered the return ship. I received a free Royal Lexon canister vac, bare floor tools for Riccar, vacuum bags, brush rolls. All sorts of oddities. He's also a wonderful cook. He has sent me home with jars of Marinara Sauce and other goodies knowing that I love Italian food very much!

Throughout our lives we encounter people of all sorts. Some we get along with quite well, some we don't get along with at all. I don't know what part of you read him wrong and I'm sorry you guys didn't get along but don't come in here, ruin the party and make things up with this orgy talk. Move on...

Perfect vacuums

Before I talk about vacuums, I want to also say that Tom has been an awesome friend and he has given me lots of knowledge that I would never have had otherwise. I'm a blind person and the first time I visited the museum, he took several hours to let me feel and hear each vacuum, for someone without sight, obtaining as much information from your other senses is important. I am looking forward to seeing him and everyone else next month at the convention.
Ok, on to the original topic of this thread. I have a few different Perfect vacuums and they are all very good. I have the C101 which I don't think is made anymore, it's a metal canister which looks very much like an Electrolux metal canister, it uses a two stage motor and it's very powerful. I also have the 103 which Tom sold me which looks similar to a plastic Electrolux canister. Interestingly, it still uses the metal Electrolux hose. I also have the Perfect 10 quart backpack, it's very nice and one of the only backpacks with a hook up for a power nozzle. I'm looking forward to getting their commercial canister, that also sounds like a great cleaner.
I wonder how the new Perfect upright compares to the Sebo Felix, I'm much more of a canister person but I absolutely love the Felix. For those who prefer uprights, it sounds like Perfect has developed a really nice one.

AMEN!!!

Is the Perfect-Lux made in America or China? Looks like a great clone but I'd probably be willing to pay a little more to surport Aerus if those are still made here.

 

[dysonman1]

The Perfect machines are made in China, but Perfect (an American Company) owns their own factory in China. So they control the quality. The Aerus Commercial, at this moment, is made in the USA. Interestingly, the Perfect has more suction (almost 100 inches of lift).

 

[dysonman1]

They are virtually the same, Aerus on left and Perfect in the middle. Also the new Perfect on-board tool upright.

We tried the Sanitaire style upright at work and didn't like it. Same motor and agitator.

For what ever reason just didn't seem to perform or handle the same. I noticed the arc on the handle was different. We were using the dust cup model.

Which in some ways is sad as they are cost competitive in the market.

The electrolux style one I'm not to sure about. I used the Discovery equivalent and just wasn't impressed with that one for sure. It doesn't help that I prefer a direct air machine.

We also have had 2 of the Bissell versions.

Problem children with clogging up easy. You have to take the brush housing apart to unclog the machine. Then putting the clam shell brush housing back together and getting the seals to stay in place long enough to do it.

The brush housing and all around the motor were always full of dirt and lint.

Made me appreciate just about any other vacuum but that one.
