Guardian Platinum Daniel, What happened to the power nozzle pics? I am looking forward to seeing them as the new ones are a lot more enjoyable to use. Dan if you are still interested in the e2 Onyx for the beach house drop me a line. Brian / | ||

My new Aeus vacums part-3 If I am understanding it correctly, the only change is to make the nozzle quieter in use (that would be a nice update). | ||

Does the new & revised Platinum have the bag tube seal like the other Lux vacuums? Or does the improved Platinum leak dust from the bag like the first Platinums did? | ||

Bag tube gasket I was refering to this gasket shown here Has anyone installed the gasket on the first Platinums or just operate the earlier Platinum without the gasket? This is my Electrolux Epic 6500SR (C102D) with the bag tube gasket

Yay my Guardian Platinum has finally arrived. I've been following the tracking and I knew it was close by on Mon. but weather hampered it being delivered. It was supposed to arrive yesterday but did not. I stopped at the post office on the way home and it still was not there (FedEx passed it on to Canada Post for final delivery because there is no FedEx office in this area). Needless to say I was disappointed. Then 15 min. before the post office closed, the postmaster called me to say it had arrived! It had gone to the wrong town! Anyway it is here and I am thrilled with it. I gave it a short workout and all the good things that everyone has said about it are absolutely true....love love love it! It is so quiet compared to the 6500 and 9000 models that I previously owned. And it does have a lot of power. I used the auto setting and it stayed on level 4. I vacuumed the carpet, floors and stairs. With the power nozzle running I could barely hear the main unit. The Sidekick III is amazing - so much better than the previous models. I could actual see it lifting up the carpet on the stairs. One thing that surprised me is that the machine does NOT shut off when I opened the bag door. I even removed the bag and it kept on running. I think that is a bit of a step backwards compared to previous Lux's. It would be nice also if there was a light to indicate when it is plugged it. The only other thing I would change is to make the hose about 1 foot longer. Oh and it is so light compared to the 6500 and 9000 models.
And now for the pics. Gary

Looks great Gary, happy you finally got it. Looks great. I don't care for that part about the motor running either with the bag door open. It still has the protection thing though that you can't shut the door if there is no bag. So I guess it still has that protection | ||

Thanks for the photos countryguy. That is the best looking Lux since the Silverado. That stainless steel really shines like silver. I'm glad they reduced the sound of the power nozzle. Any of you Youtubers gonna post a video so we can hear it and see it in action? | ||

I just got my Platinum on Thurs. and no it does not have the rubber gasket around the inlet tube. I don't know what the reasoning was for removing it after all it has been there on all the Lux model for as long as I can remember. I'm sure that would have solved any dust leakage. Another feature that is gone is the machine will run with the bag door open and with no bag in place although you cannot shut the door without a bag. I don't understand why this feature was removed as well - seems like a step backwards in my opinion.

Thanks again countryguy for that link. I've seen that guy many times on Youtube and he is always very up to date with Aerus products and info. He demonstrates the newer power nozzle and let me tell you they made it very quiet. It sure doesn't sound much like the older Luxes. It still has that certain singing hum but it's much more rapid and muffled it seems like. A very quiet machine by any standard! | ||

The vacuum is very quiet. When using the dusting brush all I hear is the air wooshing (is that a word? LOL) into the hose - can barely hear the main unit. And with the power nozzle running I don't hear the main unit at all.
I tried the new Gain scent beds in the scent chamber (as suggested by Tom Gasko) but honestly I didn't notice any fragrance being emitted. Maybe my sense of smell is not sensitive enough. Gary | ||

Rob,
Your issues are valid concerns. I have mostly carpet throughout the house - only the bathroom, kitchen and front entrance do not and since they are all located very close to each other, I vacuum them at the same time and then switch over to the power nozzle so it isn't a big deal that the floor nozzle does not store on the machine. There is no step on quick release for the power nozzle - you do have to bend over and push the release button. Again, not a big concern for me. However you have the same problem with the Rainbow when you want to switch from the floor tool back to the power nozzle as there is no quick release on the floor tool :-) I would rather have the tools store on the main unit than on the wands as well but then that would make the main unit even larger in size and it is quite large as it is now. I do like how much easier it is to set up, use and put away compared to the Rainbow or any water vacuum. Also it rolls over floor/carpet thresholds much better than the Rainbow. With the Rainbow I have to lift it up over the threshold. I do like how quiet it is, even on high speed. I think having 8 speeds however is over doing it a wee bit. I vacuumed the entire main floor using the power nozzle, floor/carpet nozzle, dusting brush and Sidekick and used only the highest speed or the Auto function. When it was on Auto I only ever noticed it being on speed 4 or sometimes going down to 3 or 2 if I pushed too hard on the dusting brush. I still have not figured out how to make best use of the scent chamber. Just putting the Gain beads in the chamber did not seem to do anything because the beads are at one end of the chamber but the air that is forced into the chamber is at the other end and exhausts straight through so it never passes over the beads. I wish I knew what Aerus had in mind for the fragrance and shape of it to be used. I checked the bag chamber and did not see any dust due to bag leakage. I'll just have to wait until at least I get a full bag to see how it performs. I noticed also that the outside diameter of the hose is slightly larger than that of the Rainbow and it is only a couple of inches shorter. The rubber wheels are very nice. It moves very smoothly on floors and carpet and I think the rubber wheels would be less likely to scratch the floors. I do like having a cord rewind again. It isn't a big deal with the Rainbow because I would just coil up the cord and hang it over the floor nozzle on the rear of the machine but sometimes the floor nozzle would drop off the machine and thus so did the cord. Overall I like the Platinum very much....so much so that I am going to be selling both my Rainbow and Filter Queen. Gary | ||

Rob,
Even before I tried using the Gain scent tabs, there was NO odour from the machine. It has a hepa filter before and after the motor as well as a charcoal filter attached to the pre motor hepa filter. The charcoal filter can be changed independently of the hepa filter. After using this new Lux power nozzle I found that the nap on the carpet was pulled up just as well as with the new style Rainbow power nozzle. I like the L-shaped power nozzle because I can easily get around the table/chair legs, etc. And it is wider so that it cleans a larger path thus leading to few strokes to clean the entire carpet. I do not have the mini power nozzle for the Rainbow but the Sidekick III on the Lux is great! It works much better than the Sidekick I & II models, maybe due to the increased suction? Gary | ||

I think the key is how much you use the machine, that is, do you use it 2-3 times and put it away a few months? I would imagine that could be a situation where you will have a stinking bag. We use our Platinum on a regular basis, the bags get full and I change them. | ||

I don't understand why they changed the Platinum so that it will still run if the bag door is open. You can't however shut the door if the bag is not present. Also the removal of the dial to adjust the type of dirt being vacuumed as well as the auto shut off and opening of the door is a step back in my opinion.
Would you be able to post a pic of the scent cartridge? Thanks. Gary | ||

John
Here in NJ at the beach we have tons of sand and fine dust also .
This Aerus is I think the best in a long time I am very pleased with mine and cant wait to see how they improve this perfection . When the new model comes out this will go to my ocean front condo . Would love to see them update the upright with these features from the canister .This is the only vacuum besides my water vacs that does not smell or omit any odor mine still smells brand new.

Could someone who owns a Platinum answer a question for me? Does the new Power Nozzle brush roll spin faster than the old one? It seems in that online video from the Richmond, VA dealer that the Power Nozzle sounds different. It seems to me that if the sound wasn't more muffled by the sound insulation that it would be higher pitched than the old one. Anyone have a clue? | ||

Well just got back from an Arus dealer here in NYC...
i wish i had read this thread first because i think he had a newer cannister *and* upright in stock. The ($2500 quoted) cannister was all black and the upright was a very light powder blue with a somewhat pyramidal shaped filter cover. There was the commercial upright & 8 pound vac that looked like i expected. Shoulda snapped a pic! {Sigh}...well next time.

It's obvious
They have customers that buy their machines and don't want change . If they want a sealed machine they have the Platinum . These vacuums out last most of the competition with their simplicity .
Aerus vacuums are great simple machines like I have said before I have purchased hundreds for my family and friends and all of their homes are spotless even with out the so called coveted sealed nonsense over priced machines . Aerus Electrolux had multi layer bags before many other brands . Areus sells lots of air cleaners water filtration heaters ect . 90 years of quality products . Dan | ||

gm182,
that's what ProTeam is for.
I don't see Aerus doing much differently at this point, the die is cast. Rebadge Euro vacs & keep the dwindling faithful appeased with yester-tech. I think the model to copy might be Apple computer...direct sales via the internet with small, highly visible locations. CLICK HERE TO GO TO stricklybojack's LINK

Carpet Rug Institute Rating
I was looking at the Carpet Rug Institute for vacuum ratings. Gold, Silver, Bronze.
The Lux Guardian Platinum Canister that this thread is about which a lot of us have purchased is only rated at the Bronze level.......Kind of surprises me. The brush rolls in these vacuums is much better than what they had before this came out. The Lux Guardian Ultra that I had did not have a stiff enough brush roll in it and did not groom my carpet well. The Guardian Platinum grooms my carpet well, but evidently could still use improvement. The Simplicity and Riccar two top of the line canister vacuums only received a Bronze as well....while their uprights received the gold level.

The carpet and rug institute is bull. If you pay them to be rated they give a good rating. If you don't than you end up on a bronze | ||

CRI Ratings are not Bull! Machines are tested very rigorously not only for dirt removal ability from multiple types of carpet, but also on how much dust escapes from the machine back into the room.
If a certain machine does not get a Gold rating it could be because it's performance on some types of carpet may not have been as good as on other types of carpet. It could also be that it emits more than 100 micro grams of dust per cubic meter of air.
CRI does not accept any money from any manufacturer to get on the Gold list! | ||

williamr Very well said and true. Its too bad that they won't adopt modern business strategies to survive. Miele and Riccar/Simpl. have 12 locations in my region. Aerus- 1 ! | ||

I have no idea what part of the country you live in but here in NJ and Pa. where most of my family live they all own Aerus/Electrolux . They all love the fact that the sales man still comes to their home and demonstrates the machine even with the fact of me purchasing all the machines for my family members he still takes the time to show them how to use the vacuums and also brings supplies and repairs the machines at their homes. I can repair any vacuum but its easier for the Aerus man to do it because he arrives stocked with parts and does it that day .
I personally don't understand how a collector can not or does not know how to repair a vacuum I read many threads where people have zero idea how to fix a vacuum and I am in shock . I started repairing vacuums at the age of 5 never asked anyone how to repair anything I just took them apart and figured it out . I even repair my cars and do home repairs as well . I understand they should change but the company is still around and still selling vacuums . It took a lot for them to change the canister but they did . The upright is a machine that lasts rarely breaks down so the simplicity of the machine works. Parts are available online or at any vacuum shop if an Aerus store is not around. I never have a problem finding parts for any of my new or vintage vacuums including Aerus for any part needed. I personally believe all this sealed HEPA stuff is nonsense my parents and grand parents all elder relative's have lived entire lives with out all that nonsense and todays newer homes do nothing but make people sick as they are way too sealed up . I believe in keeping a clean home and have better things to worry about than if my vacuum is spewing a bit of dust .I love a quality vacuum and know its hard to beat the longevity of Aerus Electrolux and I think they are worth every penny and I always haggle for every purchase I ever make I NEVER pay list or retail prices . That includes cars to anything else I purchase in life. Dan | ||
