Andy- I would reccommend a Miele! You should take one from your store because you said you have over 8 models! so i would go with that! Those are like the best canister! |

Oh, yeah! I forgot the German vacuums! That would be a good choice, too! But, whatever floats the boat...or sucks up the dirt! :-) ~~K~~ |

I think that the Guardian is a nice machine but it is heavy and hard to steer around. Its also loud and the suction is not nearly what it should be when compared to a Miele that costs just as much. I like the Lux power nozzle but I think that the high pitched noise is something you just get used to. If you are a huge Lux fan, its almost a comforting sound. The Miele is an excellent vacuum in the same price range and I have heard the Air-Way is excellent also. I think the Lux 6500 or whatever they call it now cleans better than the Guardian, it just seems to have more suction even though they have the same motor. If you want a light weight Lux that cleans well I suggest buying an Epic 6000 off eBay. The 6000 has the older style wands, much nicer than those bulky plastic things. The pistol grip handle is much easier to dust with than the gas pump style plastic one. You may want to consider putting central vacuum in your house. If you install it yourself it would probably cost about the same as buying a new Guardian and you would have much more power than any portable machine. Plus, if you buy a unit thats bagless and filter-less like a VacuFlo, you will never have to put anymore money into the machine. Good luck! |

I would say the Air-Way Signature Series is one of the best buys if you want a vacuum that will last a lifetime. The bags and filters are rather inexpensive. The vacuum is hand built and all metal. The power nozzle is superb. AND, the price is about 1/2 of the Aerus and almost 1/4 of the Rainbow. The customers that have purchased them from me, (and other Air-Way dealers I'm sure), absolutely love them. "Air-Way.........Sanitation to the nation since 1920." Charlie |

Kyle I know this should be in the vintage section, but I would love to see what you did to run a quadraflex nozzle with a model L. Thanks, Nicholas |
