Check this out....this things a beast.The house is 50 years old and it's been in the house the whole time.This is a duel motor Filtex that been used up til last week when after speaking to Don Martin with Aerus Electrolux in Orlando Florida,I finally broke down and Decided to replace it with The new Aerus Guardian Platinum canister that everyone's been talking about.I have been a little tired of the Filtex noise and dragging around that 30' hose.I have no complaints with the Filtex,I've only replaced attachment's a few times,replaced 1 motor years ago,never had it serviced(my mistake)but now one of the motors is noisy,I couldn't find the the cloth bag liner (with the metal ring)for the paper bags, several of the inlet's (metal)started failing and they are not available any longer so it's just seemed like it was a good time to make a move.I'm glad I did! The Guardian Platinum is a cleaning beast! It's quiet,strong suction,great attachment's,easy to use, no dust to bother my allergies! If anyone out there knows someone who would like to own this Filtex let me know otherwise I will be recycling it.
So found this same model in a house that was being auctioned off...I would love to have it! E mail me when you get the chance
