Contact eBay right away! I bought an Aerus Guardian a few years ago from a seller who claimed the machine was like new, had a new HEPA filter, and had been cleaned and inspected. The machine was not even close to what he claimed and it didn't look like the one that was pictured in the auction. The machine smelled and it's cord had been replaced with a much shorter cord, and it had next to no suction. I contacted the seller and when he was of no help, I contacted eBay directly. I hadn't left feedback for the seller yet and aside from the negative feedback I was going to leave eBay must have pressured the guy to do the right thing in order to keep his account in good standing. The seller ended up taking the machine back, and refunded my money minus the shipping costs. It was a small price to pay compared to the purchase price of a machine that was far from "perfect" and would have been a headache to deal with any further. Good luck!

Open a case against the buyer. There will be an option for "item not as described." Demand a full refund, as you clearly deserve one, and if the buyer refuses, escalate the case and eBay will almost certainly side with you. This has happened to me before. I was offered a partial refund, but held out for a full one from eBay, and won the case. |

Interesting. I looked at the filter prices for the Platinum. Buying them separately the pre-motor filter is $10.99 and the after filter is $25.29 but when you buy them both as a package the cost is $38.49. Why does it cost $2.21 more when bought together? Usually when items are packaged together the cost is less.

It would be pointless to use a pre-motor bag compartment filter for the pre 1205 cleaners. The bag compartment in those was a cage, to equalize the pressure on all sides of the bag (look at a model L for example). Only when Electrolux cheapened the machine and went to the solid bag chamber, could you use a pre-motor filter. Any Automatic made from 1968 on, and any non-automatic made since 1980 will accept the charcoal filter.

I bought a pack of 100 aftermarket bags on Ebay and I think they were sold by totalvac.com..This was for my Epic 6500...The bags are REALLY good and I've never had one fail, so I'm sure the genuine are even better......I cut into a bag and it has this filter type material around it.....but I've often wondered to myself.....There is an AFTER FILTER, right? So then, if there's an after filter, wouldn't that mean that it's to trap dust that escapes the bag? And then wouldn't that dust have to go THROUGH the motor, causing the motor to get dirty?? I dunno? But on my after filter, all I usually see is black carbon dust....I don't think much escapes them to be honest..
I still mostly use my Rainbow but I do really like my Epic 6500. |

Don't feel bad, vacuums seem to multiply like rabbits around here! I like the older ones too, but the automatic metal body ones I like as well. I have a 1205 brand new in the box, all the way up to a 1521 Ultralux Commemorative Edition. Watch out sitting them too close together though as I somehow managed to be pushing close to 200 of them now! Like I said, they multiply like rabbits!! :-)
