I thought that Aerus was supposed to release a new upright this past April/May, but I've checked their website and no changes have been made? Are they still planning on releasing a new machine? I haven't been reading the forum on a daily basis as I've been to busy lately, but I do remember some talk of a new machine in the works. I've always liked the Discovery style uprights, and have owned 2 different variations, but I felt like they needed more power. From what others have said here the new Guardian Upright solved that problem a while back. Aerus doesn't change their machines very often and I'd be surprised to see a new upright come out if the outgoing model has more than ample power. The Discovery design is excellent in my opinion and I'd hate for Aerus to screw what up with a new model.

You're not the only one... It looks like we have been had. We had several people claiming insider information that a new upright was coming in addition to a new power nozzle. None of which happened. Never believe what you read unless you wrote it as they say. LOL |

When a certain forum member posted the 'information' that a brand new upright was coming in April, I simply called Rich Luisi, Vice President of Aerus (and my friend) and asked him. No new upright. They feel no need for one, as the present machine is fine (considering it's not sold at retail but demonstrated in the home, no need to constantly update for retailers). The only change will be color to match the Platinum.

posted , I heard from my dealer that the new machine was going to just be a color change he thought maybe they would change things more but as time went on he heard just a color change to match the Platinum .
I cant believe how nasty some people can be we are only human and sometimes different news comes out and everything is always totally different. I belong to the Mercedes Benz Forum and not one member ever gets nasty if someone gives out information that never comes to light of day . Dan This post was last edited 08/10/2013 at 14:14 |

Can you imagine how high the manufacturing cost would be to make the model G today (which I would LOVE to see, but I'm a realist). Casting the aluminum housings from the front and rear covers, then paying a premium to have them buffed (the most dangerous job in the factory), plus all the steel used in the body. The thing would be outrageously expensive. Beautiful, durable, and an excellent cleaner, but the price would have to be astronomical today.
I have to say, my Platinum Edition canister has the same power on the AUTO setting as a model G and is a little big quieter at that setting. It's all you need, really. I am happy that there's over 110 inches of lift on the highest speed setting, besting the Miele and the Riccar in that department. The stainless steel body isn't bad either. Next time we get together Hans, I'll show you the new Platinum. You just might like it. |

I think the Guardian upright addressed the only drawback of the Discovery/Epic uprights, which was inadequate suction. I love the hose and attachments on this machine. I'm glad they didn't change it beyond improving the filtration and the suction, along with the indicator lights and the automatic brush shut-off when the machine is in the locked position, which are more minor additions. I have heard their current bags are excellent filters but don't know that for sure. I still miss the IOTA bags, of which the younger people here might not be aware.
I am anxious to see the new canister at the museum, but the TriStar wands aren't the best for me because of my height. I haven't tried one yet, so I won't prejudge it. |
