The problem with so many of these premium brand machines is that years ago they had great motors that out powered the normal vacuums but with changes in technology the normal vacuums caught up and surpassed there cleaning ability with high revving cheap motors. so many of these premium company's have chosen to install these high revving motors to get better suction. Trouble is the higher a motor revs the faster they wear out so the premium brands have lost there reliability too. You see this in particular with sebo vacuums they used to last 10-15 years without needing repair now you are lucky if they last 2 years with out the motor blowing. Same with LUX machines when they had there old double stage motor they were faultless now with the newer single stage super sucker they last a 4-5 years before the motor explodes.

In SA there is financing but I think the reason is far more simple. They just aren't as user friendly as they claim. people want instant, not to have to half disassemble the machine to vacuum the couch were the cat just lay or the wood flooring, the idea sounds great but if you don't love vacuuming ( imagine that ) its a big heavy cumbersome machine. I had some one trade in a sentria last week for a dyson dc25, he paid full price for the kirby and I offered him very little for it. I told him to sell it on ebay or gumtree but he couldn't have been bothered. he was just sick of it. I sell them to our local cash converters if they are the sentria or diamond ed, otherwise we strip them for parts

@gsheen . . . Thanks, gsheen. I heard the same Kirby stories here last year. People bought them but ended up leaving them in the closet because they found them too complicated to handle. And they say we're all going broke . . . | ||

@ trebor
I was just thinking of something you said "Aerus cares nothing for input" I have never come across one company that does, they are all set in there ways and will only change when the competition starts taking all there customers, Take dyson..... Hoover, Electrolux , AEG, Hamilton Beach all rejected the idea saying customers would not want it, I can guarantee you every one of them wished they had bought the rights to it now I have worked in vacuum engineering for a few company's and not one has ever held a customer clinic like the big car manufacturers do, considering how much some of these machines cost I cannot understand why you wouldn't do that. Instead most of the bigger company's rely on what the retailers tell them and all they are interested in doing is moving more units every month so they concentrate on more power and gimmicks | ||

That's why every single TriStar A101 (EXL, MG & CS Series) that come into my shop for repair that have the VM3 single-stage motors get replaced with Ametek #115923 high-performance motors. With the Ametek 115923 motor in the A101 TriStars, there is a BIG difference in airflow & suction. | ||
