The Ultimate in Performance and Beautiful Design
The Lux Guardian Platinum is designed to be stylish and durable, with intuitive performance, so you can create a clean, healthy home. Despite a high-powered motor, operation is exceptionally quiet and two sealed HEPA filters ensure the tiniest contaminants are captured and clean air is released. Featuring sleek design and stainless steel appearance, the Lux Guardian Platinum is a sophisticated appliance. With intelligent features such as the Automatic Operation Mode that senses what type of cleaning you are performing, and the System Indicator to alert you when maintenance is needed, you'll find everything you'd expect from a high-performance floor care system. •High-Powered Motor - Features an amazing 505 air watts and 116" of water lift. •Remarkably Quiet Operation - The Lux Guardian Platinum features an aerodynamic air guide design and multi-layered sound insulation. •Sleek Design - The stainless steel design is protected by a special anti-fingerprint finish. •Performance Indication - A System Indicator alerts the condition of operation including suction level & automatic mode, prefilter notification, full filter bag and over-heated motor. •Intelligent Suction - Suction control can be adjusted across 8 levels according to the task you are performing. Control manually or automatically. Use maximum power for vacuuming floors and deep cleaning, medium power for vacuuming upholstery or dusting and minimum power for delicate cleaning. •Simple Maneuverability - The 3-wheel guidance system makes the canister easy to pull as you vacuum. A rubberized coating prevents scratches on wood floors and ensures quiet operation. •Convenient - An Automatic cord winder easily stores the 28-foot cord. •Versatility - Top-mounted power switch is operated with a simple foot tap. Switches located on the handle adjust suction and turn off the power nozzle brush roll when using on hard surface flooring. •Ease of Use - The unique L-shape power nozzle provides 4-sided cleaning and self-adjusts its height between types of flooring. •LED Headlight - The Lux Guardian Platinum features a LED headlight that makes it easier to see in dark areas. •Effortless Assembly - The patented Push & Pull Connection System makes inserting and removing the electrical hose effortless. The hose rotates 360° on both ends and the handle features an ergonomic design for comfort. •Unique Parking Positions - The canister features two power nozzle parking positions, one on the side of the canister for interruptions while cleaning and one on the bottom of the canister for storage. •Automatic Protection - If an object becomes tangled in the power nozzle brush, the circuit breaker will automatically shut off the brush to prevent damage. A built in thermo coupler protects the motor by shutting it down if it overheats. •No Worries - The Lux Guardian Platinum features a worry free ownership with a 15-year limited warranty CLICK HERE TO GO TO kirbyloverdan's LINK This post was last edited 01/09/2013 at 17:07 | ||

All my New Aerus Vacuums
I decided to buy the The Lux Guardian Platinum and received the Fresh Era free .
I also purchased Two (2) Lux Guardian Uprights . Next to Kirby Aerus is the best bagged vacuums out there IMO . My family has owned Aerus (the real Electrolux) since the 40`s and not one has had a problem ever . Quality made in the USA : ) fresh era is not USA made but a great machine .

Guardian Upr Airwatt Numbers Dan, What are the airwatt numbers on the Guardian Upright? When I sold them they had the V-bulkhead and Domel VM 3's like 380 or so. The website is showing 318 and that can't be right. Brian | ||

I love Aerus if I don`t grab my Kirby Sentria II or My Rainbow E4 Black I use my
Areus vacuums most it seems . I am pleased with the Lux Guardian Platinum the wands never bothered me but that`s what I like . The problem with a more aggressive brush roll is it damages carpets . The Lux Guardian Platinum is my Favorite bagged canieter vacuum . I sold my Miele and Sebo canisters and uprights because I did not care for them . The only other bagged canisters that I own and prefer are Tri Star , Vortech Force , Filter Queen , Riccar/Simplicity and Miracle Mate . The Upright I hear is 425 air watts . | ||

I paid
$1000.00 for my Lux Guardian Platinum canister which came with the free fresh Era .
My Guardian uprights were $500.00 a piece . I get a discount because I buy many Aerus products yearly and give to family members and select close friends . I am not the typical buyer as I buy in bulk around 10 every year not just one . All problems have been worked out years ago thats why this one is going to be reliable . The problems stemmed mainly from the hose controls . Plus my 15 year warranty leaves me worry free . | ||

Beautiful lineup of machines you have there! I've been wanting the guardian platinum ever since I got to see one up close last October. In fact, I'm in the process of trying to get one and hopefully I'll have one myself soon. They are awesome machines and I really can't wait to add one to my lineup! Congratulations on your machines you have there as I'm sure you'll get many great years of use out of them!

Steve
Thanks I know you will love it as I think its worth every penny . I would have paid full price for it if I didn`t purchase so many Aerus vacuums over the years .
Super quiet and super powerful Aerus is back I can`t wait to see the new Upright thats in the works . I always trust Aerus even when I owned my store and Sold Miele as an Authorized dealer . Aerus canisters can`t be beat IMO I liked Miele but I love Aerus period. Aerus (Electrolux) was the first to introduce multi layer filter bags they had filtration down before anyone ! Dan | ||

I love Aerus Vacuums
This looks so cool. I supposed the tools don't store on board though? My friend (Joanne) told me her vacuum was dying and she used to have an Electrolux years ago and it lasted for decades and she saw an Electrolux at Kohl's and was going to buy it. I had to tell her that what she saw is NOT the REAL Elextrolux and explained to her that if she wants a real Electrolux, she should look for the name Aerus (Electrolux). So sad about the name change because people think they are really getting Electrolux when it's not even close to it. She ended up buying a used real Electrolux on Ebay. I like my Epic 6500 a lot but this baby looks like it would put it to a crying shame.

I agree, it is a crying shame that the so-called Electroluxes found in big box stores are nothing even close to the original Electrolux vacuums from yesteryear...I too have had to explain to many family and friends that they are NOT the real thing and won't last 20+ years like their original ones did!
If you've not had a chance to see one in person, I would highly recommend going to a vac shop that has one and trying it out...I was SO impressed with the one I got to play with in October! They are super quiet and have as much if not more suction than a central vac has! I have been drooling for one ever since! | ||

Hi mark, The tools kind of store on board with an attachment to the wand like the lux ultra, not on the canister itself like the legacy. | ||

Dan, do you know what is going on with the Guardian Ultra canister?? I thought it was discontinued, due to the Guardian Platinum coming out, but yet it is still showing up on the Aerus website. What gives?? WHY would they keep producing it when they already have the Legacy & Classic as lower-tier models?

Rob,
They are toying with getting rid of the Classic or the Legacy. I think it will be the classic according to my guy who owns my local Aerus store .
The Guardian Ultra is a big hit which I find hard to belive . I own one and was shocked how full my bag was when I replaced it for the first time . I thought it was just an OK vacuum until I replaced the bag . People love it because it is light weight and simple to use . Dan | ||

Dan, have you ever had to empty the bag on your platinum yet. I found it to get really packed too before the change bag light comes on. We have a German shepherd so we go through a bag about very third week. | ||

Mike
not yet as I only used it once and put it back into the box .
I use my Guardian uprights and those bags get packed full also . I just used the new Upright today as I retired my Blue and white the previous model Guardian because the new one is more peowerful. I find everytime they bring out a new Upright they ad more power to them which you can really notice . | ||

Thank you
Phillip I love Quality vacuums and collect mainly high end Vacuums .
Just like my cars I drive their moto is "When Only The Best Will Do" and "The Best Or Nothing " I feel that way about my vacuum cleaners I choose to collect . I haven`t purchased a big box Vacuum in years , I wish they would improve them but I have heard Hoover is on it`s way back to Quality Vacuums I sure hope so as I LOVE my Convertibles , Decades , Supremecy`s , Dial A Matics , Concepts , Elites and Legacy`s ect .

It looks like the hose handle is slightly shorter on the Guardian Platinum than it was on the previous models? It still looks bulky however. I had a 6500 and a 9000 and I hated the bulky handle and wands. They were great if all you wanted to do was vacuum the rugs or floor but for above the floor cleaning it was just too bulky and heavy to use so I ended up getting rid of both of them. Otherwise I like Electrolux a lot. Is the Platinum any quieter?

George & Gary
The Upright is not sealed so unless you have major alergies it holds the dust pretty good I know the first generation HEPA filters didn`t fit properly as the new one fits and is sealed to the machine .
They are in the process of bringing out a new upright no news at all about that . The seperate tools do not bother me at all I guess owning uprights and canisters I use the canister for the tools and carpets and upright just for the carpets . The handle is close to the old one just a bit thinner and lighter it`s the same set up on the Tri Star their other company . I happen to like the wands they work for me because I like taking one section to clean stairs and furniture . The Platnium is very quiet I think it`s quieter than a Miele . Owning a store is very time consuming and can be a money maker but in my area they dont care about quality when WalMart sells a $29.00 vacuum thats all they care about . Thats why I closed my store and I sell on Ebay where people know Quality . I know about NY vacuum shops a friend used to be Electrolux`s best sales man from Long Island and if you walked into his shop you walked out with a brand new Electrolux . It`s all about the $$$ and how many they can sell per day . | ||

Hey guys...just to clarify the history here: though you may have a fierce loyalty to Electrolux vacs that were designed and built in the USA, there would never have been an American Electrolux company had the Swedish Electrolux parent company not decided to invest in a branch in North America. The REAL Electrolux company is indeed the Swedish parent company that innovated the cylinder vacuum over in Europe.
It is fair to say that you prefer the products made between 1968 and 2007 by the American subsidiary of Sweden's Electrolux company and its heirs. And it's fair to say that you don't like a lot of the current vacs designed by that European company. But to remain true to historical facts, the real Electrolux is actually the Swedish company that now produces the Ultra Silencer and the UltraOne vacs - whether you like it or not. To be perfectly fair, one could also say that you prefer the vacs made by the Sara Lee cake company...Consolidated Foods. Just to prevent any rewriting of history here.... :-) | ||

Ummm I
know that history Brian . I have 2 Vikings made in Sweeden , they along with the European and American Cylinder tube shaped Electrolux/Aerus Vacuums are the best made in many Americans minds .
We now have the new Electrolux vacuums here since the person I dont remember his name sold the name back to the European Electrolux company . Those machine do not hold up as well as the old style Electrolux(Aerus)machines we are used to. Plus we know many of them to be Eureka Vacuums which are lower quailty vacuums sold in big box stores here in the USA . Yes we love our Sara Lee vacuums and baked goods thank you very much . No one is trying to rewrite anything we are just LOYAL to our Electrolux (Aerus) we are used to and grew up with .You may like your Electrolux`s many Americans do not . To each his own . I am not sure where you got us trying to rewrite history from ??? This post was last edited 01/10/2013 at 22:32 | ||

Thank you
Mike I try to forget his name . It was a huge mistake on his part and very smart on Electrolux of Europe .
I remember when it first happened they were selling their rebadged Eurekas on QVC and they were using pictures of the USA Electrolux vacuums trying to say they are the same Quality which they never have been here in the USA . Many people purchased the "new" Electrolux rebadged Eurekas and had no idea about what happened and hate Electrolux because of poor quality and they don`t know Aerus is our Electrolux vacuums of yesterday .It would be like Hyundai buying the Mercedes name and calling a Sonata an C Class Mercedes . | ||

Dan,
I am just saying that we should be careful what we label as the "real" company here. To me, the word "real" somehow means the original, authentic thing. We in North America bought the right to use a Swedish brand name on a certain line of American and Canadian vacs. We sold it back to the original owners in 2007. Can you imagine if some British vac collectors labelled their Candy Hoovers as the "real" Hoovers? And it's not to say the "less real" or less original companies aren't producing good products. I am sure there are many European Candy Hoovers that could outperform some TTI Hoovers... In truth, I am a loyal fan of the Eureka Williams company that no longer exists. But I am willing to give Electrolux credit for producing some great little vacuums, like my wonderful little Electrolux UltraSilencer Green imported from an Electrolux factory in Hungary. I challenge Aerus to produce a little powerful and quiet canister vac like that one for under $400 which is what I paid for it. | ||

Well Brian
we here in America we call our Aerus Vacuums the "Real" Electrolux as we have yet to find a "New" Electrolux last over 50 years plus as my family still own and use today .
Like I said to each his own : ) Aerus here in the US is not known for building and selling "Inexpensive" vacuums . Im sure if they decided to go that route they could but thats not what they do : ) Most of us that know vacuums are not fans of the New Electrolux vacuums and its hard to go into a WalMart and see the Same brushroll and Attachments on a $59.00 Eureka and then go to Home Depot and see the Same Brush roll and attachments on an Electrolux selling for $400.00 . I too miss the Eureka williams company the "Real" Eureka IMO also : ) | ||

Dan, I agree. great Quality made vacuum cleaner. They really have paid attention to detail with this machine, it is worth every penny - a bargain even - and if I was in the market for a brand new 2013 vacuum canister this would be my choice over a Miele or other high end machine.
As an engineer I am impressed and satisfied with its design, versatility and robust construction. Plus it looks real good and purposeful. Dave | ||

By the way, Aerus has updated it's website and features a lengthy video about the Platinum and it's features. It appears more advanced than I thought. Apparently in "Automatic" mode it adjusts it's suction itself based upon the dirt it's picking up. | ||

To be totally fair, the "real" electrolux doesn't exist. The original tank was invented by Axel Wenner-Gren, and he contracted it's manufacture. He called it a Lux at first. The ancestor of original vacuum is Lux International, not Electrolux AB. | ||

I don't believe that either. That's Aerus' problem recently-arrogance. They want to tell consumers what they should want, instead of providing what they want. Most people love having everything handy. I knew Aerus use to have a built on hose and stuff. They say they sold the design to another company called ProTeam. I bet the new upright will be incredible if it's anything like the canister. | ||

On board attachments
Aerus said their customers didn't like on board attachments??????
Well, I'm not one of them! I love my Epic 6500 but if there is one thing I can't stand, it's that there is no where to store the floor brush. I have it basically lying on the top as I vacuum and it falls and I have to pick it back up as I go. The whole point of quick disconnect is to have the attachments right there with you when you want go from carpeted to non-carpeted. When I first got this machine (which is my first and only Electrolux so far), other than my short lived experience with the Renaissance, I was pretty shocked there was no place for the floor tool, yet there is a place for the dusting brush and crevice tool. | ||

That was the problem but my Aerus guy says the name Aerus is catching on in this area and across the US most people have caught on many are bringing the Lowes Electrolux to them for repairs and walking out with Aerus vacuums because they are so disapointed and feel they were conned into beleiving it was an Electrolux as we know it in the USA .
The machine has two parking positions one on the side and one underneath . The color is Black and Stainless . | ||

Thank you for the information I love the Aerus Guardian Platinum . Being a collector and owner of over 400 Vacuums my collection consists of mainly top of line companies , I feel this is the best canister on the market and Aerus has a true hit and will sell millions with zero problems . If I am not mistaken this Aerus is built in Slovania my Great Grandparents country . | ||

That is a great idea about having an extra set of wands for the floor brush Dan. They also come in handy when I have to vacuum the crown on our ten foot ceilings. I only had one extra for my legacy but will order two for the platinum. | ||

The reason Electrolux/Aerus doesn't provide on board storage for a floortool is because they market the power nozzle as both for carpets/rugs and barefloors once the brushroll is turned off. | ||

Kirbyloverdan, the Aerus film at the website seemingly shows the Bristol, Va. factory manufacturing the Platinum, do you think it is being made there? | ||

Remember
last year someone posted a topic about this vacuum coming in January 2013 and there was a picture of it. It was a pretty long string of discussion. Now, here we are Jan 2013 and here it is. At any rate, someone had mentioned that only 500 of these were being made or something similar to that. I find that hard to believe.

Rob
Thats the one flaw Aerus over looked adding the clip to the flip carpet/floor tool so you could park it also . I am sure they will realize this and add it soon .
I know what you mean about Miele I sure hope the new S8 line brings them back to the quality they were known for . My sister and I owned the S6 Capricorns and both had many parts break on them and I for one used mine very gently and my sister is very gentle with hers . She went back to using her Aluminium and an Aerus Guardian Ultra canister I purchased for her .I have fixed and sold both Miele capricorns . | ||

I love the flip over floor brush is now standard again all though my lux guy gave me one when I bought my legacy 10 tears ago. They added the flip brush to the ultra too even thigh they never changed their web site to reflect it | ||

I wasn`t too
sure about Aerus when I purchased the previous model the Guardian Ultra . I said to my Aerus rep when he brought over the newest Aerus I thought he was joking . I thought it was a revised classic . I reluctantly purchased it but turned out very impressed after a few uses the bag was packed full . I vacuum every day with a Kirby and my Aerus Guardian upright and once every other week with my Rainbow.
I dont wear shoes in my house so I have no idea where all the dirt came from . I still had doubts about Aerus`s future . So when my guy called me again saying he had a new TOL Aerus I would want to buy I said if its like the Ultra but a different color I`m not interested . He stopped by and had this huge box pulled out the new Guardian Platinum and I was like FINALLY Aerus is back I whipped out the cash and it was mine . He did tell me that the Ultra sells very well and the only person who had a problem with it was me . I do love this new Platinum and I feel if the Ultra did so well this will do ten times better it is an awsome vacuum . I agree the tools are hard to beat they had it right for many years . I love the tools clipping to the wand its the perfect spot for them .That flip rug/floor tool is the BEST tool ever produced PERIOD. I love love love the fact that its metal again it reeks quality TOL . If anyone is considering this vacuum I say go for it . The Aerus Platinum my Kirby Sentria II and my Rainbow would be the three vacuums I could live with if I had to give up my 400 vacuums .Well I am waiting to see the new Kirby 100th anniversary " Avalir" if thats what its called I will have to ad a fourth . | ||

HEY .......................
I own and have given many of the "White" Aerus vacuum away as gifts to family members and they are VERY reliable just as they have always been . Way more reliable than any Miele I have given to the same family members and friends when I owned my store I converted everyone to Miele and they did NOT hold up as Aerus has . Since then I have replaced every family member and friends Vacuums with Aerus .
Aerus is the only brand I can gift and never have to repair they are always problem free . | ||

The Platinum is
totally sealed and has TWO hepa filters .
I love Simplicity / Riccar I was a Simplicity dealer . IMO they are much better vacuums compared to Miele they out feature have longer cords , hoses better attachments and out clean Miele . I like Miele but LOVE Simplicity/Riccar and Aerus as they are IMO better machines . I have really bad dust alergies and have used Aerus/Electrolux for years grew up with them and I have never had any reactions using them . | ||

My new Aerus I never like Riccar becuase it felt like i was using a Kenmore. I never found both brands to be all that great. Thats a nice Aerus you got there . But i would lean towards a new Tristar . I like simple vacuums like the Tristar and Kirby and Miele | ||

Aerus leaking
Hmmmmmm.
I have owned the Kenmore canisters in the past and this (other than the short that developed in the wands) was my biggest complaint. You could feel air coming out of the cord area and it was obviously NOT sealed! That's why I only wanted to use the hepa type cloth bags only in those machines. MY Epic 6500 doesn't have a hepa filter, but only an after filter. When the machine is running, I feel ZERO air coming out of any part of the machine EXCEPT straight out of the after filter. Nothing coming out of the cord area or anywhere else on the machine. | ||

Mark
I own 25 Aerus vacuums all from the past 7 years up to todays newest Guardian , Ultra , Guardian Uprights , Legacys and now Platinum . Plus purchased around another 50 for family and friends .
I tried all of mine and only air comes out from filter area no where else . I called my Sister ,Mom ,best friend and Brother and asked them to try all of theirs and same thing no air leaks either . I owned an S7 it cleans well but is very heavy and bulky and bag changes are difficult compared to Aerus . Plus in the first 3 months the Electronic speed control burned out and had to be replaced twice . Aerus Kirby Rainbow and Filter Queen are the best IMO ! | ||

So question:
Has Aerus/Electrolux always advertised their vacuums as being "sealed"?
I find it very hard to believe that a premium brand like Aerus would not have sealed their vacuums since at least the 90s! Another thing I find strange with my Epic 6500 is the bags. With the type C bags that mine use, they feel so much cheaper feeling than the Kenmore paper bags, yet in the Kenmore, there was always a fine dust all throughout the bag compartment, yet in my Epic 6500, there is no dust at all in the bag compartment. It's funny to me that the bag that feels/looks to be lesser quality works better. Perhaps it's the way the bag fits perfectly into the compartment. I know I think an Electrloux Aerus has GOT to be the most idiot proof when it comes to bag changing. It couldn't be any easier to change a vacuum bag in these type of machines. | ||

The Guardian
Paltinum is it first sealed system .
Areus/Electroulx has always been ahead of the others in filtration , always had multi-layer bags from the very first bagged vacuum they introduced . They have yet to jump on the filtrete cloth type bags because they`re bags filter very well. In every Aerus/Electrolux I have owned or a family member and friend has the bag compartment is always clean and dust free . | ||

No NYCwriter, it is not a good price. They can be had for under 1500. Got mine for way less than 1500. That New York guy is trying to rip you off at 2700..to to the aerus web site and use the dealer locator button and call around. | ||

I have never
until now heard of an Aerus gooing for over $1800.00 . It is sad that NY stores seem to over charge customers I guess they think everyone in NY is a Billionaire even if that was true they should be fair and not try to rip people off .
An Aerus Guardian Platinum should be purchased for well under $1500.00 peoiod . | ||

Then I
suggest you just get another vacuum . It obvious you dont like Aerus so why own an Aerus get rid of it and get something else .
Problem solved ! Just like I dont like Miele I chose not to own any in my collection of 400+ vacuums . Not every machine is for every person thats why there are many to choose from . Hope you find one that fits . This post was last edited 01/15/2013 at 15:39 | ||

Dan, any idea if or when Aerus will offer the cloth-like synthetic bags for better filtration? I converted to those Perfect HEPA bags for three of my four vintage Electroluxes and I love them. I only use the synthetic bags in my fleet of Kirbys and have now converted my blue line Sanitaire and my Koblenz to use the synthetic ST style bags. It seems that more and more these kinds of bags are being used, it would be a shame if Aerus didn't.
Also, I would like your opinion of the Lux Renny and 6500. How they compare to other lux machines. Cheep Rennys and 6500 show up on ebay often and I'd like to buy one... someday since I'm poor as dirt right now. Which would be best for a house with a fifty/fifty mix of commercial grade carpet and tile... add three cats and loads of 'debris' coming in from outside. Thanks in advance. Justin | ||

I have had the same issue with the exhaust.... I have had a couple of the Lux Uprights that have had air escaping. I too took mine in the first time I noticed it. The explaination I was given was the upright is not a truly sealed system, but the air escaping was not coming from the tube that connects the power nozzle to the suction motor. That tube can be replaced rather easily. It is a reverse screw in and is a tight fit. I truly do believe that the air is coming out from the cavity in the machine somewhere. My first was a Discovery III and I did not notice it with that vacuum, as I did have to replace the duct hose. Maybe too much back pressure from the side filters they added on after the Discovery's were discontinued.
Sincerely,
Bud Mattingly PR-21 | ||

Riccar and Simplicity
Tol vacuums with tandem air are way better than Miele .
I had an S7 salsa and it was a heavy vacuum very bulky and I am a Kirby lover and feel my Kirby Sentria is way easier to use and isn't as bulky . I have a Jack Russell and no vacuum but My Miele smelled like dog and my dog doesn't smell . I had the charcoal hepa filters in it and it really smelled bad . No Aerus , Kirby or my Riccar or any other vacuum smelled as bad as my Miele . That was the main reason I sold it . The LEDs are cool but I find regular incandescent builds to be very bright . Maybe it's my white carpets I see no big difference . | ||

I have no idea
But none of my bagged vacuums smell just Miele maybe it's because the are sealed too good but it is really nasty especially since my dog never smells shes bathed twice a month and i was her paws when she come in yes she is pampered , and no other vacuum smells not even regular standard bags like when I use a Hoover convertible . My Capricorn smelled also along with my Silver moon and Aluminium .

Justin, I don't know this for sure but I don't see why Aerus/lux couldn't offer a cloth/hepa type bag some day as the lux intelligence in Europe does offer a cloth hepa P style bag. | ||

Guardian Upright & Aerus' Filtration Claims....
Daniel....Aerus may not directly say on their website that the Aerus Guardian upright is a Sealed HEPA Filtration upright, but they do make some statements that would mislead a consumer to believe it is.
Like "A specially designed, HEPA afterfilter captures contaminants as small as 0.3 microns such as pet danders, dust mites and other pollutants." It also says at the top of the page "True HEPA Filtration". Nowhere on their website do they state that their HEPA filter is a "HEPA-Type" filter, that the HEPA rating applies to only the filter & not the vacuum as a whole, like Bissell does on their website. The average consumer who looks at the statement where the filter is specially designed, they would immediately think the vacuum has been made to filter properly & is sealed. By using such wording, in my opinion they are using misleading & false advertising to sell their product. And especially for the price they are commanding for the Guardian Upright, Sealed HEPA Filtration should be a standard feature! There's no excuse for poor, improper design when buying a premium product....Aerus could have easily spent a few dollars on a small redesign of the product to make it sealed. And so you are aware, the Guardian Platinum is not the first vacuum they have made the claim of having Sealed HEPA filtration. That rightfully belongs to the Aerus Guardian Ultra....they also currently claim on their website it is a Sealed HEPA Filtration vacuum, when in reality it is not. The ONLY WAY they have made it so all the air goes thru the filter is they are using a inferior HEPA filter which does not offer much resistance to airflow. If they have modified their original design & made it sealed, I would love to see them prove it, as when I had seen one there appeared little evidence of it. All they have done is design a new top control panel....nothing more. I wouldn't even dream of buying that vacuum based on it's claims & what I have seen in person. Justin....Just so you are aware, there is another manufacturer besides Perfect that are making Cloth HEPA filtration bags for Electrolux vacuums. JohnnyVac, a vac shop distributor & supply company based in Montreal, Quebec, has been making their own brand of Cloth HEPA filtration bags. The code you need to order for the Electrolux Type C canister bags is 6X25H, 6 bags per package....and for the Electrolux upright the code is 6X26H, 6 bags per package. You would have to call them & see if they would arrange to sell to you directly, or if they would refer you to a dealer who would sell & ship the bags to you. JohnnyVac's website to contact them directly is www.johnnyvac.com.... Mark....to make the Guardian Upright a Sealed HEPA Filtration vacuum is simple. All they would have to do is put the motor in a plastic case inside the motor compartment that would direct the air to the HEPA filter opening, & use some rubber seals where the case meets the opening. As to whether or not Electrolux has advertised their vacuums as being sealed in the past, the answer to that is no. But then again, there was also no need for it, either. The Electrolux bag, as you have clearly seen yourself, does the majority of the filtering, & is one of the best designed & best made paper bags in the industry, in my opinion. Also, the cloth afterfilter the Aerus Classic & Legacy models use does an excellent job of capturing particles, yet they do allow the vacuum's airflow to escape well. So, due to the design of the filters, it wasn't necessary. EurekaPrince/Brian....Yes, Electrolux AB of Sweden did establish Electrolux here in North America, BUT that's all they did. The North American division is solely responsible, in my opinion, for Electrolux having the legacy & reputation it has today worldwide. If you look at some of the European Electrolux models from the 60's & 70's, like the Dometic & Husqvarna canisters, it's clear when compared to the North American models that they are copying their basic design with slight changes. And this was LONG BEFORE Consolidated Foods bought Electrolux in 1968....by that point, they had already come out with the major innovations they are known for today, such as the Power Nozzle, Automatic Control & self-sealing 4-ply bags. With the exception of the introduction of new power nozzle designs, & the introduction of the Sidekick mini PN, all that Consolidated Foods did was introduce new models with styling changes, but with the same features, quality, & maintain the image that Electrolux had built for themselves before the buyout.

Bags
I think the best guard against dirt escaping a NON-SEALED vacuum is to use a cloth type hepa type bag because not much of anything escapes them! The Aerus C type bags from perfect are available to fit C type machines, but for whatever reason, there are no other Lux bags that I can find, aftermarket or otherwise that are synthetic cloth (at least the last time I looked) because I looked high and low for them when I had the Renny which takes type R bags. Paper only on those, no cloth type to be found. I think it's ODD!

Thanks 4 your responses luxman, and yes that metallic section on top of the PN was what I meant. On Aerus' website, the entire PN is black, there is no metallic coloring on it, and "Lux the original since 1924" is on the small outcropping. I just wondered which it will eventually be. | ||

The noise
that the power nozzle makes is what they are known for . They have sounded that way ever since they made their very first power nozzle .
I personally dont think it`s that noisey I love the sound it is very unique to Aerus/Electrolux . As far as the handle standing I never had a problem with it falling, I just set it in the upright position and it stays put . Maybe its just a skill of owning Aerus/Electrolux for many years that I am used to it . I am quite pleased with everything about the new Aerus Platinum . | ||

I hated how the power nozzle on my 6500 and 9000 would not stay upright either unless it was placed in just a specific way. It had to be placed close to the canister otherwise the weight and tension of the hose would cause it to fall. The power nozzle base was not heavy enough and the power nozzle elbow did not lock. On the other hand, the power nozzle on my new Rainbow stands up no matter where it is placed in reference to the canister.

The noise the PN makes......
I know! When I first got my Renny I noticed as soon as I heard the PN I remembered that same sound from when I was very little. My grandma had a Lux in the 70s with the white PN and the body of the vacuum I think was a dark green color......Then I got the epic 6500. Those nozzles do all make the same noise.

Anybody have any idea if they are going to change the wands? I feel like it needs a quick release pedal for the PN and perhaps at least an optional telescoping wand would be nice... Those are my ONLY quibbles with this machine. | ||

I don't think you can honestly say Aerus doesn't change. The Rennaissance was a vast departure from anything before it. The Ren was easily the most advanced vacuum of it's time when it was released. EVERYTHING was changed. It was a highly advanced machine, and so is the Platinum. But it can always get better. | ||

Electrolux/Aerus
does change but they do have a lot of stuff that works and why change a good thing . Like I have said before the wands do not bother me at all . I like the idea of using one piece to do stairs and furniture . Storage for me I remove wands from the PN and stand them in the corner of the closet and the hose is hung on a hose holder and the PN is set on the shelf . The canister itself is stood on the end in the corner also it takes up very little space. The Upright is right next to the canister .

I should also mention that there are a few important advantages to Aerus' wand system. They are designed to operate the full range of electric and non-electric attachments. You can plug the hose into one or both wands and also directly into the power nozzle itself or Sidekick. The other thing I love about them is the attachments lock onto the hose or wands. | ||

Thanks for the pictures! They keep hanging on to Axel Wenner-Gren's heritage as best they can with all the Lux fiddle faddle. I too love the old Lux on the box, really shows off the heritage. Although I still think they are going to have to build the Aerus name more to prevent people from thinking the ones at Lowe's are grandma's Electrolux. | ||

Dan
I couldn't agree with you more about the outstanding customer service Aerus dealers offer! My local dealer in Barrie, Ontario has always provided outstanding service, & their prices for parts, bags & filters are very reasonable. I also found this to be the case when I visited a Aerus store in Toronto last summer, when I was buying parts for my Electrolux Grand Marquise, & had to deal directly with this store as he was the owner of the Barrie store & the parts needed to be special-ordered. When you spend $1G + on a vacuum, you expect quality customer service & prompt repairs....and Aerus certainly knows how to deliver on that count!

The Platinum is
metal wrapped around ABS so dents would be hard . ABS plastic vacs gets scratched and gauged so will metal .
In case you didnt know Aerus/Electrolux vacuums are made in that tube shape to fit on a stair tread so you don`t need a long hose you just move it from step to step . It`s hose is much longer than others 7`8" is a generous length . | ||

we have been through this enough times it seems like this is only in NY every where else Aerus stores and sales people are WONDEFUL and KIND .
It seems like just because of your bad experience you are saying Aerus is a bad company when in reality your experience does not make Aerus as a whole a bad company let it go please ! In home sales still work even though you find it hard to beleive , if it didnt brands like Aerus , Kirby, Tri Star, Filter Queen and Rainbow ect. would be sold at department stores or vacuum shops .

the one thing you need to know is "Rich" don`t care about vacuum cleaners because they have cleaning people and can just replace dirty worn out carpet when they redecorate their homes .
I am in Real Estate also and every "Rich" persons home I go into they have a $35.00 dirt devil or Bissell . Thanks Christopher , We shall see how I like it . The only bad part is it`s a 45 minute ride which I am not sure I want to do . | ||

So does
Aerus send out managers to inspect and make sure things are run right .
When I had my store and sold Miele`s I only saw my rep once in 4 years when he sold me the line . He never came back until I closed my store and was trying to buy back my machines at 35% less than I paid for them I told him to leave my store and I kept them and sold them all on eBay . Lot`s of people who live in NY move or have homes in CT maybe thats why they are nasty there as well ? It seem`s like your trying really hard to paint all Aerus stores as being rude and nasty . I get you don`t like Aerus stores in your area but you need to give it a break I heard your story and it needs to end .They are all owned by different owners and you will have bad apples any where. Thank you . This thread is called my new Aerus not George`s & CT sooners bad experience at an Aerus store start that thread if you like . This post was last edited 01/25/2013 at 15:18 | ||

I read that on utube also about the melting. I would like to know what others do with the scent cup that works. My dealer has the lux scents but only in lemon so I never tried one. | ||

Peter
you did not upset me .
I used your name because George used it , I don`t understand why he is so trying to smear Aerus because of his bad experience and then he threw you in the mix tryin to prove like its every Aerus period .I am over the bad treatment stories they happen in all businesses . I dislike some brands and have said it but I dont go on and on about it until it seems like I am bashing a brand . I am glad you got your Sebo and love it and some day you can get an Aerus if you choose . We all have our favorites because thats the way a human is period . Dan | ||

I will keep everyone posted especially because I will be servicing them and I am sure it will be updated and if any problems come up I will be first to know .
My Aerus guy has no idea about the scent cap I showed it to him the other day , in fact when he brought me the machine I showed him how to use it since he just got back from a convention with the new Platinum . | ||

Utahprideboy's pictures show that Aerus may have no choice but to switch to another material for bags. The suction power of the motors is seemingly getting too strong for the paper based bags to withstand. I hate to see it happen, because most synthetic/cloth type bags are quite a bit more expensive while Aerus bags were cheap. | ||

I just
changed the bag in my Guardian Ultra because the light finally came on . I took the bag out it weighed a ton and was packed . The machine still had a ton of suction I was in shock . I weighed it and it weighed 9.6 pounds where in the H@$$ did all that dirt come from ? I just took a damp paper towel to wipe inside the bag compartment and the towel was spotless no dust using the genuine bags . I have had this machine for two years an never changed the hepa filter it's still Snow White . I am now going to give this to my sister because she's tired of her upright Guardian and like this Ultra .

I'm sure it will be changed. Those who are familiar with Electrolux/Aerus history probably know that thier power nozzles and upright brushroll motors were essentially one and the same. An Aerus upright IS the same as an Aerus tank. Since they are working on a new power nozzle for the Platinum, you will see it on the upright as well! | ||

Hey Dan
We got the Lux I the previous version to this machine, While that machine itself is Faultless its hosing was a problem, With no on off button for the PN and if you wanted to clean around the edges with the pipe you had to unplug the wires at the elbow. For what it cost here in SA this was below par, They have obviously fixed these on the new version which you have | ||

Brian
I was there on Wednesday first day . I love it but the only thing is it`s 45 minutes from my house so I am not sure if I will stick with it or not .
Tomorrow (Friday) I am going back I will see what happens it`s kinda hard because I don`t need the job so that makes it tough . I am excited because I get to clean out the basement grave yard and shed out back . I got a quick tour but didnt get to spend anytime there . Yeah I am not a fan of braided hoses because they are too stiff . I heard about the bags I knew they would fix them the first run is always going to be a problem . So April the new upright comes out ? Any news about it ? Dan | ||

That pic is striking in how much larger the new one is compared to the old one. We tend to think in the old days things were bigger/better/whatever. The Platinum brings them back full circle from metal to lexan and back to metal. The Platinum has a distinct Art Deco look if you notice. | ||

Hello All,
Great Thread - Now it gave me the itch for a new toy... I was viewing some videos on the platinum and found that if you have the canister and the power nozzle on, and then turn off the canister without turning off the power nozzle wand switch, the canister will go off but the nozzle will continue to run... I found that a little odd... I then went to see one of my friends at the local Aerus Dealer and check it out in person... It is a nice looking machine but I thought it was actually made entirely of metal like a silverado, etc... It in fact is actually a double wall plastic canister with steel trim crimp/bonded to certain parts of the outside... So overall, It is a nice machine, but I too would worry about dents in Day to Day usage... Plus I am not a fan of of the tools on the wand... However, After talking to the owner for quite a while, we got to prices... I was given very very good pricing on either the Platinum, Ultra, or Legacy.... I actually think I like the legacy the best since the tools are on the tank and not on the wand... I also think the plastic body would hold up better to gentle bumps then the steel on the Platinum... Since this is going to be a daily driver and i will most likely only keep it 1-1.5 years, then sell it, or gift it away, I was really looking for opinions if it really is as bad as Consumer Reports makes it out to me (since it got such a low rating)... And The last question - If you could purchase the Guardian Ultra, or The Legacy what would you purchase, and are there any real performance differences? Since they are the same exact motor, I would assume no... Opinons before I jump and buy it tomorrow during lunch? | ||

While I prefer uprights, I think the Aerus canisters are good and durable... I would not go by consumer reports- they favor value over longevity. The newest canisters by Aerus I think are better built and sealed. I would look into them over the Classic and Legacy. | ||

Brian its going ok , the repair shop is a mess . The lady that ran it for the past 16 years has zero experience in vacuums and has been winging it since day one . One gripe I have with her is her lube of choice for the vacuums is vasaline . She`s in Canada now so maybe she will not be back .
Its going to be difficult in the begining to make it my place but we shall see what happens . Lets just say I know more than the owners of this Aerus store so I`m gonna have to figure things out for myself .

George it would have been lucrative a few years ago . Today with the new taxes on their way (Obama Care) it is way too expensive to start a business today . The Aerus store I was at had to let go of their repair girl because it was too costly to pay her and insure her was outrageous.
I just quit working for them it is too far and with gas prices and wear and tear on my car its not worth it for me . I will be buying all the Aerus and trades from them and gonna sell them on eBay along with the other vacuums I sell on eBay now .
Cool Mike yes the Paltinum parts are available but they don`t seem to want to order them yet until the sell them for a few months .

I would love to and could afford to open up an Aerus Store and hire people but because of Obamacare taxes I refuse to start a new business and then pay all my hard earned money to the Government .
My buddy who owns the store thats 45 minutes from my home wants to sell me his store but once I did the numbers and realized the taxes they are paying it`s crazy .
Thats why they had to let go their repair girl and said most Aerus stores are run totally by the owners who also repair the vacuums . The stores are essentially a one man or woman run store . Full time employees are a thing of the past especially in vacuum stores . It was going to cost them $2500.00 per month just in taxes and insurance on top of her pay .

Well Robert I just don`t trust anything the Government or Obama is doing and refuse to take a chance because they are finding things in the law that no one even knows fully whats going to happen because NOBODY read the bill prior to signing it .
So unless you can 100% guarantee any new taxes that become law and pay my additional taxes I think I will just keep my money in its safe place

I figured it would be something along those lines regarding the hose coming out. Surely to goodness a VACUUM CLEANER COMPANY would realize that a canister hose must be used to pull it along and design it so it doesn't pop out. Electrolux designed idiot proof bag change, now they have to design idiot proof hoses. LOL | ||

I bought one also....
I am now the proud owner of the Aerus Platinum Guardian. Received it Thursday, but due to work, have not had a chance to use it yet. I unboxed it tonight and turned it on. I will give it a workout this weekend. The one thing I noticed is the flip over rug and floor tool, has black stiffer brushes, than my other flip over tool that fits the older lux wands. The older one has gray softer bristles. Does anyone know if the black bristles are horsehair or nylon?
Thanks for your input and I am anxious to try this wonderfully designed Aerus Vacuum. PR-21 Bud Mattingly | ||

The hose is not a problem it fits perfect every time and never pops out . Only one person in another thread who just purchased it had a problem and I know it was due to him not knowing how to use it properly . It always turns out to be user error the Aerus hose clips in perfectly every time
I use mine . Just like people complain how difficult It is to use Kirby attachments it takes me less than 30 seconds to remove the nozzle and attach the hose or any other attachment . | ||

That's why I just leave the hose connected to the canister vacuums all the time & not disconnect the hose, unless I need to use the vac in blower mode, unclog the hose or sometimes when I change the bag. | ||

I'm sorry thermokid... I didn't mean to suggest you were an idiot. What I said came out wrong. I was joking about how they made the bag change so easy and this has to be an issue. If it is a design flaw, it needs to be corrected. There may in fact be a problem with your vacuum. I'd hate to think you couldn't use it. | ||

I have purchased brand new Electrolux/Aerus since the Super J and always paid cash and always got a better price than what was "List" price .
My Grandmother taught me to always haggle and I have been very successful at never paying full or list price . As far as the hose goes it must be broken on that other users vacuum because I tried for an hour last night to get mine to come out even pulling with all my might and that hose would not budge . It has a 15 year warranty I suggest he return it and have it repaired or demand a new machine thats what I would do . Bags have been made with thicker paper my advise is throw out the bags that come with the new machine and ask for the new bags . Dan | ||

Hey Guys! I found out what is wrong with my platinum. One of the two prongs on the end of the hose is cracked. So I glued the piece of the prong I put some super glue on it and so far it is fine, but I am going to have to send the hose back to Aerus for a new hose. So I am glad it wasn't operater error on my part... Dan | ||

I still have a few of the original bags the came with my machine. My local lux store owner did not hear anything about newer thicker bags. I asked him to check into it for be because my after bag filter is getting quite dirty after 5 bags now. | ||

I purchased new bags from Aerus
I purchased some new bags from Aerus and got them about the same time I got my machine, since this seems to be an issue. I took the original bag that had not been used and a new bag from the Aerus batch. I cut them. As Dan said earlier, Aerus fixed this by making the bag thicker. They do seem thicker to me. Holding the cut versions up to a light, you can see a difference. Also the fold at the end of the bag is thicker, which would point to a thick bag material.....
Since you are on bag 5 out of 6, you may want to order directly from Aerus, assuming they would have the newer stock..... PR-21 | ||

I wonder if the new upright will feature the patented double HEPA filtration? Aerus/Electrolux uprights are basically canisters on a stick. The power nozzles are basically the same on the uprights as on the canisters. The new upright will have the new power nozzle I would assume with LED light. I just hope it will return to on board attachments. | ||

No, it isn't necessary. They are trying to produce the best possible filtration, just like Miele with it's 2 filters. They could blow dust like most of the rest but instead they tried to come up with something that would benefit. The first filter is 3 months, same as most filters. The afterfilter is lifetime filter but I would change it some. | ||

Really?? Every five years? The Aerus website claims it's a lifetime filter. I assumed they meant life of the machine, but still, 5 years is quite long enough to not worry about cost. The better the filtration, the better I love it! | ||

GM1982: I was on a Canadian Aerus store Facebook page and they said when the Platinum canister came out it was the "first of our new Platinum series lineup." It sounds like more is planned to me. A lot of companies keep new releases secret, so we'll see. They always have an upright to match the canister, like Epic, Guardian. | ||

I called Aerus this evening and they are sending me a box of bags and a Hepa filter , They said this was the first they are hearing about this . They might want me to send them a bag to show them what is happening . I think this is
an awsome customer service company . They were so helpful and caring it is so wonderful that this American company cares so much about their customers. I can`t wait to see the entire Platinum line especially the upright once it is released in April . Dan | ||

Ok George
You need to understand they are not allowed to say a thing sometimes or they don't even know until they have a meeting or convention about the new products being introduced . I know a lot of high end vacuum people that's where I get my info from . Plus because of the fact that I purchase many vacuums from each of them they let me know of new product way before the public even know . I know next time I won't say anything until I actually have the product in hand . So this has nothing to do with poor customer service and more with you being upset because they don't know or won't tell you anything .

with your six years and MBA plus your youth and you still dont seem to understand the way vacuum companies operate NOT ONE company shows you a sneak peek at their up and coming products .When they are ready to be shown and ordered most vacuum shop owners preview them at the VDTA show but most D2D dont go to the VDTA show if any do at all, so we are left to wait until they decide to release them .
Vacuums just dont operate like that never have never will . When the new product comes out Aerus does call all of the 1999 Aerus owners and do say look at this new 2013 model I have and do trade them out . So you have a choice be patient like most of us are or just go with another brand . To your disbelief the company is doing VERY well and will be here after you or I are gone .Vacuums are the last things on most consumers mind if they had a choice between buying the latest cell phone or the latest vacuum they would chose the phone . Not everyone is like us as frustrating as it may be all we can do is wait . Dan | ||

that is just a single owned by an individual vacuum shop eVacuums not Eurekalux the companies advertisement so it just proves that vacuum shop is trying to create a buz .
I totally agree that they should create buzz but there would only be a select few that would be interested. You never see people standing out side in the freezing cold for miles waiting to buy the newest Hoover or Aerus . Hopefully Aerus is reading this because there are some great ideas to make it the best company ever . Dan | ||

My Aerus
guy just did the Philadelphia home show and sold 12 Platinums and have a ton of demos lined up because people are finally finding out about the newest Aerus .
He said it is very easy to sell and many people love the Stainless steel and its power and features . He has taken 4 newer Mieles in trade so far , he said if he traded one Miele a month he was lucky as these Mieles were traded in one week . Dan | ||

I did cross shop the miele with the platinum however the store/dealer experience didn't leave a good impression at all with the Mrs so it got removed from the list. I still plan to revisit and see it closer up. | ||

I would live to have or borrow a platinum for a week or two to use in our home for a true comparison against the Miele. That 15 year warranty is nice. | ||

When I owned
My store and was a Miele dealer I converted my entire family into Miele owners .
Most of them had problems with their Mieles and they did not like Miele because of the short Hoses and mini attachments . Yes I gave everyone the larger attachments but they didn't like the fact that they had to store them in the closet and not on the machine or hose. All were previous Aerus/Electrolux owners and all have returned to Aerus . Aerus has for a long time offered long warrantys on their TOL canisters some 25 years . Seems like the sales bullies are in the upper East coast because like I have said here salespeople couldn't be nicer and their is never any pressure . That's why they make so many brands of vacuums to please everyone . Dan | ||

Question:
For someone who vacuums a relatively clean house everyday, what would the operating cost be for this machine - bags, filters, ect. I know it depends, but how often would these typically have to be replaced.
For example: My Epic 6500 says to change the after filter after every six bag changes.....and the after filters are cheap. This thing looks like is has way more filters to keep buying.....Is it expensive to upkeep? | ||

Aerus has problems but the ones owned by my family and myself have been problem free as the Mieles owned by your family are . The newest Mieles we owned were the Capricorns and S7 uprights . When I owned my store Mieles were brought back for many problems. I am sorry my upright is not leaking air .
The Guardian hose is 7`8" or 20 inches longer than Miele thats a lot when using a canister . Mark , The HEPA behind the bag should be replaced once a year and the after motor HEPA according to Areus should be a lifetime . I will change mine every 5 years or so . The Filters are no more expensive than Miele . They are around $49.00 same as Mieles bags are cheaper than Miele $38.49 for 24 bags . Dan | ||

Have anybody filled up one of the newer bags yet? Just got my new batch on Thursday that lux bought out to my home for free along with a new after bag hepa filter. . So far so good. Absolutely no sign of leakage . | ||

@Brian, Completely agree... the Miele Uniq is not worth it for the features. That is a ton more to pay for some velvet and a longer warranty vs the next "level" down which is the Marin. You can get the same setup, minus buttons on the hose for all settings and save $400+. | ||

That makes sense to me....
I noticed on the Lux Guardian Platinum, that they did away with the rubber gasket around the tube that goes into the bag. I wondered why they took it away. I am sure this rubber gasket covered the entire hole on the previous models. The new bags are thicker, but if they would add that rubber gasket back, it could be a quick fix. I just measured the tube on an older lux and it is almost 1 1/2 inches wide, the tube on the Lux Guardian is shorter and wider 1 3/4 inches. John you may be onto something. I will watch mine closer. I do have the newer bags.

On my epic 6500
I know that rubber seal you're talking about and it's a GREAT seal. Doesn't leak. I can't BELIEVE they took that away. On the Kenmore this was a problem because when the bag slides onto the collar and you close the bin lid and put the hose on, it's not as good of a seal as it could be, and the bag chamber gets dusty and I think people think the bags are leaking when really it's the seal that's not so great. I'm sure some dust would still leak through the bags, but I think the majority of it is from the seal not being good......I hope they fix that !!!!!!

Congratulations
John what a great review . I will have to look into the bag collar once I receive my new bags .
I too think this machine may have too much suction but I think it's perfect for my thick frieze' carpets . Yesterday I vacuumed with my new Rainbow E series onyx after I used my Aerus and I barely had any dirt or sand in the basin and that's unbelievable to me as it never has happened to me doing a follow up cleaning with any other vacuum . Enjoy your new Aerus John I surely do love mine 😬 Dan | ||

Are the Areos Platinum bags made of a Filtrete type material-maybe the bags should be larger to allow for the power of this vacuum.Usually Filtrete type bags can be packed more full than paper type ones. | ||

I called and told a lady the same thing last week and they said they are sending me a pack of bags and a HEPA filter .She did call my local Aerus store to check if I was legit and I already spoke to the owner who sells me my Areus vacuums and he confirmed it for her . She told him one other person called to complain and they did the same thing by sending them bags and a filter .

That is very smart thats what I should have done after learning my lesson with the Guardian Ultra when they improved it I went a bought another . I have to learn to just wait a few months and then purchase the newest vacuum what ever brand it may be .

Aerus Guardian Upright I would choose over Sebo X5 .
Aerus has easier bag changes cheaper bags also . Cleans very well a great vacuum period .I prefer tools seperate so I am not pushing around and dealing with them . Plus I love the L shaped nozzle on the Aerus to get into tight spots better. Sebo`s auto height adjustment drives me crazy because it adjusts constantly while cleaning and it seems like it doesnt clean that well no groom marks in carpet. Dan | ||

Cardboard Collar.... Eluxca mentioned earlier in this thread that Aerus mentioned a problem with the bag collar. I called Aerus to follow up on the new bags. She told me they had not made the bags thicker and she was not aware of any problems. I realize that everyone that answers the phone, cannot be up on everything. I feel that the newer bags were thicker, but who knows. There was an engineer in the next room and she put me on hold to talk to him. When she came back, she confirmed the engineer admitted to possibly having a problem with the bag collars and were researching what to do. At that time, I mentioned the fact that they took off the rubber seal on the tube that goes into the vacuum bag. She had a Guardian there and looked at it. It did not have one either. I suggested that this could be the problem for the leakage. She took my phone number and was going to talk with the engineer again and let me know when they came up with a solution.

I think maybe the suction is just too much and the bags cannot handle it.... You really need those cloth layered bags, they just seem better constructed. Miele makes the best bags- hands down. Hope they resolve the bag issue for those of you who have the Platinum. | ||

I am still
waiting for my bags and HEPA filter . Aerus was the pioneer in the 4 ply filtration bags from the very begining. I have never had any dust leakage in any of my machines until this Guardian Platinum . I havent used mine and I will wait until I get the new bags and filter .
I used the Miele intensive clean bags in my Capricorn and the air clean bags in my S7 these are the cloth type bags and I always had dust in the bag compartments of both machines . I am not sure about the newer bags but I had two cases of those bags for the capricorn left when I closed my store and used those only and bought a pack for the upright recently . Brian , The Domel motor is an awsome motor I think its made in Italy they make very good high quality long lasting POWERFUL motors. You are so welcome Brian I may just have to get the new upright from you once it`s released . I also will be buying the new and inmproved power nozzle once its available . My first time in Jersey I was on the Atlantic city expressway in my Benz pulled over for going 98mph in a 55 ouch 2 points and a $400.00 fine . Dan | ||

Who knows but my S7 also had dust in bag compartment ,my aluminium also had dust in the bag comprtment . I never walk in home with shoes so I have no idea where the dust was coming from . I don`t have to worry about that as I sold every Miele I have had . I think I will buy the Miele S8 Unique to see how that machine is . search.yahoo.com/r/_ylt=A0oG7heJm..." target="_blank">

so it's the BAGS
and NOT the missing rubber seal?
If it's just a bag issue that's nothing major. I was under the impression that it was a part of the actual machine that needed to be corrected. And if dust does clog the hepa prematurely, that can shorten the life of the machine since average people would keep using it since it's only supposed to be changed once per year. | ||

Everyone who
have received the bags say its fixed we shall see once I get mine I am very curious . I really hope that was the problem because thats an easy fix and makes sense because in Europe they use the cloth type bags in the machine . Seems like they made bags and cardboard collar thicker because this macine is super powerful .

Brian
That's not good I hope they find the problem maybe they need to ask lux international what they use for the bag collar . It looks to me like it's plastic not cardboard maybe that's the fix . I hope I receive my bags soon so I can see what's going on with it . I am not interested in the cloth type bags because their other bags have never leaked in any of my Aerus/Electrolux .

As much suction as it has, medium speed would probably do a good job. It directly contradicts what they say in thier video, however. They say plainly to use high speed for carpet vacuuming and floors in general. You should be able to use highest setting without worrying. Hope they find a solution. | ||

I will keep mine on Automatic it adjusts from low when there is little dirt to high for a lot of dirt .
The brushroll is not as aggressive as say my Kirby Sentria and Sentria II .
I have frieze` carpet and it shreaded the strands in the areas that are open under furniture and places like that the carpet looks like new .
Aerus will fix the problem guranteed I have zero doubts as they always address all problems on every Aerus/Electrolux this is why they have been around for ever excellent customer service/satisfaction .

Don't they still offer the blue spraygun? They will probably never bring back the rug washer because they have another machine that buffs, polishes, waxes, and shampoos which is the FloorPro. | ||

Yes you can still by the blue plastic sprayer. I think they charge 10 bucks for them. Most dealers will give you one if you ask if you are purchasing one of their machines,. | ||

Dan, the size of the Miele bags are also twice the size of Aerus bags. Nonetheless, the Miele bags are still more expensive. Just want to keep it in perspective cause it isn't as drastic as it seems... more like $3.20 to $4.74... :) | ||

The aerus lux bags also hold a lot of dirt. They are like a brick when full and you change the bag due to the lux cyclonic action on the bag chamber. It's really unbelievable how much dirt they hold. | ||

Mike
That is so true plus there never seems to be any loss of suction either because of the ribs in the bag chamber which allows air / suction to flow around the bag not through the bag full of dirt .
Aerus/Electrolux always had that on all of their machines the older ones had some kind of holes in the bag compartment which did the same thing to keep suction/airflow at its peak . Dan | ||

Man I hope that making them thicker stops the problem cuz I think cheaper high filtration bags are a selling point. What about the deforming cardboard collars? I'm afraid a customer will think it's going to burst if that happens to them and will put them off. | ||

To everybody who owns Aerus Electrolux vacuum cleaners, I strongly recommend using Perfect HEPA cloth disposable bags over using Aerus Electrolux paper disposable bags. The cloth disposable bags are much better than the paper disposable bags. Thank you. | ||

CAUTION: Using any other bag in your Aerus/Electrolux machine will VOID your warranty. There is no legal way to tell whether Chinese made bags truly meet the Department of Energy's regulation. There is no U.S. law that says something defined as "HEPA" meets the standard they impose. Aerus/Electrolux has always been very strict on this point due to the high quality bags they use. | ||

On the 12 pack of bags It's says made in PRC which is people's republic of china .
I would never ever try to use any thing but Genuine Aerus bags and further more perfect bags only come in type C they don't make any other bag but C and the new Platinum is type P bags totally different bag . Glad to hear the good news of no dust leakage the new bags do seem thicker too . Dan | ||

To Luxman107 -
You stated Christopher, "you definitely can't get a platinum for under 1500" - This is absolutely NOT true - I ended up with the Guardian Ultra instead of the Platinum, and as I said in the original thread I started on my Ultra, I only paid a TINY bit more for my Guardian Ultra then one would have paid for the Best Sears Kenmore Canister Vacuum NOT on sale... I promised the dealer I would never reveal the cash in hand sell price I paid for the Guardian Ultra... I can also say that I was originally going to get the Platinum, before I found out about the issue with the power nozzle staying on with the canister power switch in the off position... And rest assured, the Cash in hand price he had offered me was WELL, WELL, WELL below $1500.00... I told him I would come back in 6-12 months to see if they resolved the issue with the power nozzle power, and he gave me his card with the price on the back and said the price would still be valid... Actually, he priced out the Legacy, and Ultra, and the Platinum for me... And as a side note, he is the branch owner - Actually, He has twenty something sales people and owns a few locations... Evidently the branches purchase the machines from Aerus and in the end can sell them for what ever they really want... I am sure they should have minimums, but then we bargained at P.C. Richard for all our kitchen appliances two years ago, and ended up paying $1600.00 less the their best sale price at the time, and still got to keep all the store and factory rebates... The point being, in todays economy, even Aerus Dealers will deal - After all, A Sale is a Sale - And as a final note - the Guardian Ultra I purchased was the new version with the LED power nozzle, and Flip Over Floor Tool, and was Brand New sealed in the carton... I also have my signed Aerus pink sales agreement with the serial number filled out as well... I did also check and the machine has been registered with Aerus by the Dealer... For Past Reference - I purchased a Renny (first gen dark grey) when they first came out and paid $650.00 cash back then - I could have most likely done better, but it was only out for a few weeks when I made the purchase... You just have to bargain - I also think if you read back, that the original "Dan" (KirbyLoverDan) only paid $1000.00 for his Platinum as well... Dan P. | ||

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 . Dan | ||

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. | ||

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 Dan | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

I think George has many problems with his upright . My mother uses a Discovery II she has owned since 1986 I just checked it out yesterday and there is no dust in the bag chamber nor any on the after filter under the bag and that's with 27 years of use she vacuums everyday and hundreds of bags .
I also turned her`s over and held a tissue by the suction hose on the bottom of machine and switched the vacuum on and the tissue stood still no blowing around like Georges. I would suggest George take his to Aerus and have it checked out and serviced as something is wrong with his upright . The home solutions and all their previous bags have always been excellent filtering bags . Dan | ||

Thank you
Christopher I didn`t want to get into Miele again but EVERY Miele I have owned had dust in the bag chamber and for what ever reason they always make the dirt in the bags smell and no other vacuum I own smells when I use them .
I own 2 of the newest Aerus Guardian uprights and not one leaks air like Georges does . Spending that type of money George that is totally unacceptable and you need to demand they look at your machine . Every upright I have purchased for my family and friends I have checked and it`s about 35 in total and I have looked at them all and 34 have no dust in bag chambers 1 did have a little but she was using a generic bag nor did they blow air from the bottom of the machines . | ||

Yes, if I were him I would trade it in on a Miele upright if I wasn't happy. My Mom's Kirby smells after a while when the bag begins to fill, but it doesn't smell as bad as the 2 Eureka Bosses we had when I was home. Aerus' double HEPA should make a killer upright if they ever get it out to the public. | ||

From all your negative comments about Aerus and all your high praises about Miele your brand of upright should only be Miele . Heck you should even work for Miele you sure make a great Miele spokesman and I believe you would do very well selling them . Had I have not been a Authorized Miele dealer in the past and know the machines inside and out I would really want to buy a Miele from your sales pitches.
If my Aerus vacuums were leaking as yours are there would be no way I would just accept it like you have . Your machine has a problem and you should demand to have it fixed . Aerus is an awesome company and has been in business for 89 years and their customer service is top notch they would NEVER just tell someone oh well that's how it is they would fix it even if they had to pick it up from your local Aerus dealer and ship it back to their engineering department it would be fixed without a doubt. I have been dealing with them for over 30 years and they always stand by their products . Good luck and pursue the repair of your defective machine Dan | ||

I know the ladies at Aerus who handle the complaints and they would NEVER tell a customer what you say you are told . I have purchased over 100 Aerus vacuums and the customer service is number one .
Every manufacturer uses parts made in china its the way of our world today when china makes stuff ultra cheap and pays labor pennies to work . I am disappointed in Aerus having their bags made in china and have suggested that could be the bag problem . Dan | ||

....don't get me wrong, I do like the vacuum otherwise, and the full size attachments. Its a well known long lasting vacuum brand. However, I unfortunately had issues with my upright and poor customer service in the resolving. | ||

What type of motor is used in the PN & SideKick? Is it a Johnson Electric brushless motor? btw, I saw a pre-owned Guardian Platinum on eBay. Unfortunately the auction has already ended. This post was last edited 03/16/2013 at 00:09 | ||

News flash guys
Rainbow , Kirby , Filterqueen , Miracle Mate , Tristar ,Oreck all use parts made in china and from other parts of the world . Almost every product made in the USA use globally sourced parts . This is nothing new but I guess I need to let you all down so you can lose respect for all the other brands also . This is how our world operates today .
The Platinum is made in Slovania and uses parts made in Germany and Europe . Dan | ||

Thats right
Cliff ,
I find it hard to believe that some people still do not know that . Even American cars are not made with American parts . Some people seem shocked and want to turn on products if they use globally sourced parts not realizing EVERYTHING made every where uses parts from all over the world . If the vacuum manufacturers had to make every part here in the USA with all the labor costs especially with unions these vacuums would cost thousands over what they sell for . At least companies as Aerus still employs Americans to assemble the vacuums and to me that means a lot . Dan | ||

The newest Rainbow that we both own have internal parts made in China , Mexico and other countries.
I guess I am a very rare collector as it seems that there are few that actually repair their own vacuums . I always take my machines apart when I buy them it intrigues me and I like to see how thing operate . I even repair my cars and many things throughout my home . I like being handy and it saves lots of money being able to repair things myself . My Rainbow guy who I buy my Rainbows from isn`t really in the business anymore so my area has no Rainbow dealer anymore . He has to go to Philly to buy his machines/parts from a dealer there . He said the newest Rainbow`s are plagued with problems also so it seems that it`s not just Aerus .That is also one of the reasons why Kirby has delayed the 100th Anniversary Avalir all these years because they don`t want a repeat of the Generation series .

Thank you
John ,
I think many people are making this bag problem out to be such a disaster and it is not . Even Rainbow spewed dust that's why they had to put a Hepa filter on it . This Platinum has been in production in Europe for a few years now and it does very well . The only problem is the bag issue because Aerus chose to stick with the paper bags instead of the cloth type bags everyone seems to be jumping on and even those bags are made in China yes the Miele bags are made in China also OMG .

I have been repairing vacuums since I was 5 . I just remove screws and figure it out as I never had a forum or books to learn how to take vacuums apart . I guess just being naturally mechanical I don`t understand that if people own and collect items that some people have no idea how to work on those items .
Car collectors craft people ect. all know how to repair or make their crafts . I am not saying anything to be mean I just know being a vacuum enthusiast I get into vacuum cleaners inside and out I like the look of the machine but I also want to find out what makes them tic . Dan | ||

There are no problems right out if the gate. After a short time lux found out they needed a thicker bag, reacted and fixed the problem. What's the big deal. As was and always will be, one of the best machines on the market. | ||

Mike
yes you are right what's the big deal ?
I feel the same way they have a problem and it gets fixed immediately they have one of the best customer service in the business and they truly care . Seems like George likes to make it a big deal always saying how horrible their customer service and quality control is .I believe he needs to push and demand they fix his upright and that's going really far because this is one company I have dealt with for years and they have ALWAYS been so helpful they speak to you on the phone with a smile they are all very kind and NEVER dismiss anyone . This is why they have been in business for 89 years if they operated as George says they do they would have been gone years ago . Dan | ||

I am wondering
if Aerus is replacing our bags with the new batch or some get the new batch and some are getting the old batch hence the difference .
My new batch are a pack of 12 in a clear plastic bag . Aerus bags come in boxes for all the other machines the new bags are thicker that I have received I cut them both open . My Aerus rep told me that he heard they made them thicker for the bags to sell to consumers the bags that came with the machines were the problem bags. The power nozzle staying on was a problem that has been corrected it was a software glitch . I am waiting to see if they will fix it for us current owners if so I am sure it will be a control board that has to be replaced. Richard , You are very welcome it has been my pleasure starting this thread and I appreciate everyone who has contributed to it also . Dan | ||

John, reply 658, excellent post. Richard, I agree, it is the only thing on the platinum that bugs me is the power nozzle switch issue. I heard they are changing it on future productions. | ||

The circuit board is in the canister itself . It's annoying and won't do any damage .
They will in time replace it under warranty they always stand by their vacuums . When I find out about the fix I will let everyone know . I will have to pull my machine out to try the new bags been busy lately and have been using my Aerus Guardian upright and Kirby Sentria II . Dan | ||

I think that Home Care Industries' problems and financial difficulty may explain why the bags are now made in China. They might be having them made over there due to the lack of capital in keeping the U.S. plant open. I hope Aerus is talking with other companies in case something happens and Home Care folds. They will need bags for all thier users. | ||

In days of old when we were bold, we'd not have installed a circuit board in a vacuum that failed. It's a nuisance. I realize it regulates the pressure transducers and the motor speed to save power, but seriously? If I spend so much for a machine to clean the house with? Warranted or not, when it fails, it's a nuisance. | ||

I did not know about the Aerus Bristol plant closing. That's a shame. I guess NO Aerus product will be made in the US anymore because that was the last one. | ||

We know the Ultra One is not an Aerus product, nOxXy said it was good quality. It may even be assembled in the same plant as European Lux's, which by pictures I've seen are identical to the current Aerus. Seems the Guardian is gone? | ||

Hate to interrupt but... 
I wonder if we can discuss this into another thread? Yesterday during my free time, this thread took me quite a long while to load because the internet I'm currently using is having issues lately and I have no idea when it will be fixed soon. But other than that, I would still love to hear you members discuss about Aerus vacuums.

Once again this thread took me a while to load
What I meant was is to create a new thread and discuss this in a shorter thread because again, I've got to use my internet strictly until it gets fixed. I've seen those other 3 older threads a few years ago when I heard the Lux Platinum came out around then. Part 2 was closed by the Webmaster and this thread should've been closed before part 2 was made, but I was surprised it didn't got closed.

Am I correct that the Bristol site is used to build TriStar vacuums?Just what machines are built there-Thought in the older days the Bristol site just built the motors that went into "Lux machines assembled in another site. | ||
