Ok, that's it! Hold it right there. It's time to call you out, correct some of your mistakes in your post & put you & your arrogant, know-it-all attitude & opinions in your place!
"Aerus made over priced average vacuums. The aerus electroluxes remind me of a long bus."
Oh really eh? Well, then I guess you had better say the same about your beloved Compact & TriStar vacuums, whether made by Interstate or Aerus Electrolux. For starters, the Aerus Electrolux canisters that use the Style C bag actually filter BETTER than the genuine OEM TriStar bags. The Aerus Home Solutions & aftermarket 4 ply bags based on their previous designs leave hardly ANY dust in the bag chamber, because they have layers to trap the dust & also help the vacuum to retain it's airflow LONGER than the TriStar & Compact canisters. The TriStar & Compact OEM bags are single ply paper bags with no microfiltration lining at all, & leak TONS of dust into the cloth bag which holds the paper bag in the cleaner. Even if you use the aftermarket microfiltration bags, they are slightly better, but some of the microfiltration layer gets blown off at the back of the bag, so dust leaks through that area. Yes, there are Vacuum America Clean HEPA Cloth TriStar bags which correct the issue of the dust leakage from the bags, but they are harder to find and obviously more expensive then the normal paper bags, even compared to buying generic single layer TriStar bags. Electrolux 4 ply bags are also cheaper to buy than the TriStar bags too, so there's less cost of ownership too. In addition, unlike what Compact & TriStar claim about their claners being "cyclonic", they are NOT. Sure the dirt falls at the front of the bag & not towards the back, but if you look where the end of the hose port is in the bag door, it's obvious why the dirt falls at the front of the bag! Furthermore, Miracle Mate, Vortech Force & Patriot all came out with tubes incorporated into their bag doors, redesigning the "cyclonic" action so that it works better.
However, the Aerus Electrolux canisters ARE cyclonic. See the ribs inside the bag chamber? Go ahead & use your Electrolux to clean with, then open the bag door, hold the hole open, shine a flashlight into the bag, & what do you see? The dirt is on the side walls of the bag, not the back, & there is a clear path right in the middle of the bag for air to get through to the motor. Furthermore, on the earlier Electrolux 2100 canisters & the Electrolux Epic 6500SR & Aerus Legacy, they have the Automatic Control system which not only tells you when the bag is full, but unlike others, it can be customised to your cleaning needs & actually REALLY WORKS. Unlike most of these piston-style bag check indicators that only go off when the bag is so full & clogged it's doing hardly any cleaning at all.
Furthermore, the Aerus Electrolux Epic 6500SR & Aerus Legacy have a headlight on their powerheads, & floating height adjustment in the back, so unlike the TriStar powerhead's fixed wheels, it won't dig in too deeeply into the carpet. However, you can fix the wheels on the Aerus Electrolux powerhead too if so desired. Also, the Legacy & Epic 6500SR wands are wider in diameter internally than the plastic TriStar wands, which means the vacuum is capable of moving more airflow thru the entire vacuum. And where do you think TriStar got their hose material, MiniStar small powerhead & cloth electrostatic exhaust afterfilter from? Aerus.
You can say all you want about Aerus vacuums being overpriced....to some people they are when bought new. But so are the TriStar vacuums too. But the Aerus Electrolux canister vacuums are FAR FROM AVERAGE. And might I remind you, Electrolux actually invented the canister vacuum in 1924 in the first place! Your beloved TriStar & Compact vacuums would have never existed if Electrolux never invented the canister vacuum for them to copy decades later when the patents expired.
"The aerus tristars motors burn up very quickly."
Are you referring to the Electro Motor made motor originally installed in the EXL, or the Domel replacement motor that was the authorized warranty replacenent motor Aerus supplied after they sold off Electro Motor? Yes, the Domel double stage motors were short lived, because they were made in Slovenia & poor quality. The Electro Motor originally installed works excellent though and lasts about 20 years on average, same as the Ametek 116311 motor used in the TriStar CXL. And as for your statement to Rigidwd0670 that the stock Ametek 116311 motor used in the Compact & TriStar CXL would have mote power, waterlift & CFM, you would definitely be wrong on that! Those motors only pull 90" waterlift. The current double stage Electro Motor sold thru vac shops pulls 100" waterlift, as does the Ametek 115923 that can fit all these vacuums. In addition, Numatic has a Ametek double stage motor that pulls 110" waterlift, and there is a double stage Electro Motor from Centralvacuummotor.com available that pulls 117" waterlift! Now, would you like to be foolish enough to try to defend your statement?
Get your head out of your ass & start being a bit more polite & not so insulting in your postings, please and thanks. I for one am getting sick of seeing your superior attitude, & insulting others with opinions different than yours. Just because you don't agree with someone's opinion is NO EXCUSE to be rude in a reply to a fellow member!
I DARE YOU to reply to this, because you literally just got your ass handed to you!
