I watched some YouTube videos about the L-shaped Electrolux upright models and in the comments that I've posted on these videos, I asked the submitters if they think that these Electrolux's are better than the cheap TTI vacuum cleaners from Walmart and those who answered my question told me that yes, they're better than the Walmart cleaners.
Which of the participants of the Vacuumland forum believe that the cheap Bissell's, Eureka's, Hoover's and Dirt Devil's from Walmart would get outperformed by the Electrolux Discovery II? |

The actual question is "do you think the 'wally world' machines will OUTPERFORM a Discovery II"?
The Discovery II is a 30 year old vacuum cleaner. The Hoover for $179 at Wal-Mart will certainly dig more dirt than the Discovery II. There are a number of vacuums at big box stores that will "outperform" the Lux. Your question didn't take into account how long those machines will last, as compared to the Lux. The Lux suffers some major design flows with concern to the leaking dust bag, the dust sitting directly on top of the motor's suction intake, and the lack of a sealed filtration system. The big box store machines also suffer from design flaws. The Lux Discovery II, while not being a very 'deep' cleaning upright, was built to take the abuse that the uncaring hands of ever-changing maids (cleaning ladies) as well as clueless owners can heap upon it. Similar to how Sebo and Winsor are built. |

I've managed to fit my Epic 3500 (discovery 2 style) with pre and post motor filters, and I run it with the Paper bags. Filters pretty well and with its generic replacement brushroll it's a fantastic sweeper. Its the vacuum I usually take to Customer's houses until the Circuit Breaker for the power head burnt out. I replaced that last night and it's back in business.

couldn't tell that's a Rainbow that Ray Barone bought? A carpet that is one to two years old will make that water dirty every time you vacuum unless it is steam cleaned, and then only not for a few times after. |

I will beg the differ with you.
You may find American Eskimo hair if you vacuumed my carpet right now. I guarantee you the water WILL NOT darken. I know, I've done it.

There was one episode where I saw a blue Hoover Windtunnel Self Propelled bagless in Marie and Frank's basement.
But other than that, I definitely believe that some cheap vacuums can dig carpets better than a Electrolux because I've used both machines before. I remember I saw a thread not long ago about a Hoover Windtunnel that does better on carpets than a Lindhaus and I believe that to be true. Both a Electrolux and a Lindhaus I find perform about the same on carpets. But I also agree with what ronni said that the overall quality and the company is ALOT better than those other cheap companies. This was one question I asked earlier on another thread was which bags and filters are the best to use in these Lux uprights? I asked that because I don't want to use some bags and filters that leaks alot of dust and smells back into the air. |

To Dysonman1, I meant to ask if the it where the Discovery II that outperforms the Walmart products, not the other way around. I was using a passive voice, but thank you anyway for the info on filtration.
To other people who posted comments on this thread, I'll put my previous comment in detail. One of the things that I like to do is to ask dumb questions to other people that can be answered with a big "DUH", even if I know the answer, just to see how other people would react to these questions, especially the ones that involve the comparition between expensive-but-great-quality products with the cheap, shoddy and disposable products like those we could see at Walmart. I wasn't serious about comparing the upright models from Electrolux and Aerus with the Walmart stuff. I only posted this thread as a joke. |
