Hi All,
Looking to purchase an Electrolux Canister - had one back home where we would connect a 10 meter long hose and be able to do most of the living space in one go. It had ample power, was quiet and would compact the disposable bag like a little brick. Pic below. I'd like to replicate that concept here in the USA, we've already got three Kirby's, a Rainbow, a little Bissell Hard Floor canister - but I want the super long hose-ability and the power and quietness of an Electrolux... My question is - what model do I buy?? Help is appreciated. Cheers Ste

Unfortunately the hoses for the Aerus (formerly Electrolux) cannisters are only about 7 feet long and I don't think there are optional longer hoses available. I have the Guardian Platinum. The cannister is very similiar to the one in your picture however the hose handle is the pistol grip style and the power nozzle is the L-shaped design. The vacuum is very quiet however and does pack a lot into the bags.

Sounds like you want the built in vacuum, if you want a 10 meter= 32.8 foot hose. I've heard of a 12 foot hose for a Rainbow (Tom Gasko), but 10 meters seems extremely long for a portable unit. | ||

Tristar
Also offers a 12 foot hose for their Aerus built models. www.tristarvacuumscausa.com/shop2...
I'd probably go with a central if i wanted such a long hose a lot of portable units will not have too much airflow at the end of a long hose while a central can, provided you have a good unit and hose. | ||

12 foot TriStar hose......... It might not be too difficult to modify this hose to fit a Lux. Of course you'd need to purchase the hose end that connects to the machine and that might not be available as a separate item. Worth looking into, though. | ||

@countryguy You say you are still pleased with your Aerus Platinum canister. I am getting ready to start shopping around for one. Have there been any changes? You complained about the power nozzle noise in the past, are you still unhappy with that? Thanks. | ||
