Yes Ronnie:
Communist Reports has rated the Electrolux favorably through the years, only recently (after Aerus) have they been somewhere in the middle and not at the top of the ratings. Wondering what "burdens" you are talking about putting on Aerus? The Vice President of the Company is a very good friend of mine. I speak to him at length about the 'glory days', but it really doesn't matter to the company about what they "used" to do, only what they are 'going' to do. The past is the past, only the future is changeable. Electrolux history is very easy to find out, Charles Lester has a fantastic website devoted to that one subject. I hope no one on Vacuumland would be calling up Aerus to find out information they could get from Mr. Lester's website. |

And it does indeed rate the 1205 at the top, the L just under it, It said the Electrolux was the equal of the top rated uprights in carpet cleaning. |

So why aren't Aerus machines top-rated? Also, how did/do the carpet shampooers rate? |

Well that may be true these days kirbyloverdan. I've not read it in so long I wouldn't know. Kirby didn't used to rank high. Going back to the 1950's they ranked them rock bottom. For 40 some years they ranked Kirby "below average" in performance. They have never recommended them to my knowledge. |

Regarding Aerus' survival-I think they will. The Lux Guardian Platinum machine is by all accounts a runaway success. People on Aerus Facebook pages are raving about it and love it. Many Aerus outlets are reporting sales far exceeding their wildest projections and having huge waiting lists. |

that's OK I do NOT like CR at all and being a vacuum professional common sense tells you their testing is garbage . They need to try real world dirt NOBOBY vacuums up talc (wood pulp) while cleaning on a regular basis that right there shows they know NOTHING . Plus they are VERY unfair leaving out MANY brands and they continue to test OLD vacuums never replacing belts or filters as needed.
CR is a book for those who haven't got a clue about products and need help to decide on a purchase . Dan |

I love to read the old ones, but you can tell they didnt know what they were doing half the time...in the 60s they rated a Norge washer as good, but a Wards terrible......they were the same machine!!! |
