I have used them before, COMPLETE copy of the older lux machines! Stupid powerful and not loud. Surprisingly it cleans really really well. |

The metal canister that they make sounds really good, I may get one. I wonder if it uses the same motor as the Aerus classic or if it's a different motor. I'm not sure what motors aerus uses, if it's the same motor, then there would be no point in getting it since I already have an aerus classic. |

I have the Perfect plastic bodied canister. VERY strong suction (105 inches of lift), and a good quality machine. No automatic shut off. HEPA bags. Filters very well, and maintains suction a long time (due to the synthetic hepa bags). I don't think I would pay $799 for it, that seems like more than its worth (to me). I got mine at wholesale from a friend who has a vac shop.

So is the reverse true? Can you use a Lux bag in a Perfect vacuum, or is the air flow too strong for the paper? |

Got it today, it's awesome, a real beast. I will post a review of it like I did for the Prima after a bit more time with it, but if anyone is looking for a new power team canister, I would definitely consider this one. |

It's nice that they've recreated these classic machines. I'm wondering why the automatic control is missing.
Part of the comfort of using an Electrolux canister is knowing that it would automatically shut off when the bag was full. Now, it's just like most other vacs, apparently with a much stronger motor? |

I spotted an online ad for these a while back and thought it was a cool concept, kind of like Year One making every part necessary to build a brand new 1969 Camaro from scratch. While It's great to know somebody's keeping that metal canister tradition alive, I don't think I'll be lining up to buy one anytime soon, given the ready availability of good, used Electrolux metal canisters for far less. One day maybe, but for now my 1205 and Super J both still have a whole lot of life left in them.

The Perfect vacuums not having the Automatic Control has nothing to do with labor or parts costs savings. Legally, Perfect Products cannot use the Automatic Control because Aerus Electrolux still uses it on the 90th Anniversary Legacy, & would obviously renew patents on it. The Automatic Control is one signature feature that identifies a Aerus or Electrolux vacuum, as well as the 4 ply bags previously used. There's NO WAY that Joe Urso would ever give up the patent for it, even if they stopped using it. And if Perfect Products DID start using the Automatic Control, Aerus Electrolux would sue the pants off of them.
Also, in terms of a performance & reliability viewpoint, it's well known that after 10 to 15 years, with average care & usage in the average household, the Automatic Control is prone to failure due to the plastic tubes clogging with fine dust. Removing the Automatic Control is one less thing to break & cause the vacuum to require servicing down the road. Also, since the Perfect C101 comes standard with HEPA Cloth bags, & the Perfect C103 can use them if desired, the improved performance using the HEPA Cloth bags means less reliance on the Automatic Control feature in Electrolux & Aerus vacuums to ensure constant suction/airflow.

I've always thought that perfect vacuum cloth bags were the only way to get those type of bags for a lux. But aren't these cloth bags as well in this link? I can't tell but they sure look like it

Yes, those are indeed HEPA Cloth bags. The key to knowing that they are is they refer to them as a "synthetic" bag, which is another way of describing cloth material. I would bet they developed their own cloth bag to keep their customers happy, since they also sell the Perfect canisters. I intend on buying some soon & trying them out.
