New apartment and maybe a new vacuum cleaner. My Grandma never allowed anything but a Electrolux or my Rainbow in her house to be used on her floors, carpets, and other cleaning so I was thinking of giving my Rainbow a break and following in my Grandma's footsteps for a little bit. Does anyone have one of these?

a Lux 4000 with tools on board which Aerus discontinued , I have a Blue and white the previous Legacy & Guardian`s, I also have a Discovery II , I love all of Aerus uprights plus the Canister Line up to the Guardian , I dont like the newest canister Guardian Ultra as I think it is just a glorified classic .

I had one looked like that in 89? It worked great, loved it. Just preferred the Silverado canister. I think my roommates mother killed that upright in about a year, she was rough on things. Fantom was next I know. Now she has my old, got for free, loaned to the kids for 5 years! Kenmore Progressive. Damn, that could clean. I think I paid $300? for that Montgomery Wards Lux Upright. Tan maybe? It seemed very well made to me, hose port was handy, pretty quiet.

I've never been a upright person myself. I've always liked canisters as I'm a person who uses my vacuum for everything, going up the walls and along the ceiling knocking cobwebs, dusting lampshades, cleaning furniture, the sliding glass door and french door tracks you get the idea. Uprights always just kinda seemed kinda clunky to me so I've alwasy had a canister it just seems to work better for my needs. However I alwasy liked the one my grandma had and it was a good vacuum and I didn't mind using it.

Andy, the Lux is one of my favorite looking uprights. It looks to be at peace and it is special to me as my aunt had a Discovery II growing up. Your cleaning needs would not be met with that upright, though. The suction motor is significantly smaller than a full sized canister vac's motor. With all of the above floor cleaning that you prefer to do, I would suggest a nice canister with a long hose and power nozzle.

I'm thinking I may just stick with my Rainbow. At this point my cleaning is cut down a lot since I had to rehome my dogs since the move and so it's just me and my hedgehog (Basil) so it's not likeI have to vacuum everyday like I used to. I'm really in no hurry at this point and it was just a good idea. Well time for me to start getting my kitchen unpacked. Have a great day everyone!!!

I've owned an Electrolux Discovery II, an Epic 3500, and Lux 3000 upright, and they are great vacuums. However if you have deep pile carpet, they arent the best deep cleaning units.
The new Guardian upright does have a new and improved more powerful motor, but I have not used one yet. Check out this thread about the new Lux upright, it will provide you with some more information. CLICK HERE TO GO TO bimmer740's LINK |

I have one. I bought it a few months ago and love it. The suction motor on the new model pulls 394 air watts. The canisters pull 439. The Epic uprights pulled 200 (or 250, I can't remember) and the Lux 4000 increased the airflow by 50 air watts to either 250 or 300. You won't be disappointed by the new Guardian.

Seriously, my fave would have to be an Electrolux 2100. Find a good used one or rebuild one. Can't beat the old lux for filtration and durability. |

so many different brands of machine`s to choose from. I personally loved the older Miele`s as the Aluminium and the Silvermoon and Bluemoon each I own . I beleive they are the last of Miele`s best built machines. I gifted my sister an S5580 Aquarius Miele for her Birthday and she has had it for 3 months and it is falling apart . She had to go back to her Aerus Guardian that`s 5 years old and her Silvermoon which is like brand new and it`s from 2008 . My entire family love`s German products and we all drive German cars only . The vacuum my family still chooses is Aerus . My family has been using Electrolux / Aerus for over 75 years and I can`t get them to switch .I love Kirby as my #1 favorite but Aerus is my #2 choice then Hoover Convertibles followed by Rainbow .

It would be a hard call to make. I have had my Rainbow since 1998 and I love it and there is nothing wrong with it. I'm in no way a collector, I don't have the room and looking at the collections that I have seen this would be a very costly hobby. My vacuum collection is the following, my Rainbow D4C, Hoover Floor Mate, and my Bissell Spot Bot. All three I use and all three serve a purpose.
I have been looking for a while thinking about a new vacuum and the thing is nothing on the market really catches my eye, except for the Electrolux Aerus. I think that I like more the older vacuums that are no longer on the market and if I decide to go a head and buy a new one it would maybe be something I find off Ebay. Who knows. |

I wouldn't EVER touch it! I'll take a Commemorative Edition Ultralux or any steel tank Lux any day. |
