Last year I bought the Shark Powered True Pet Rotator and ended up sending it back because I didn't like how it handled with the hose and handle. So I have been using my Rainbow. Well I finally made the decision to purchase a brand new Aerus Electrolux Classic. And I love it. With the amount of dog hair that we have I also bought the sidekick and love how well it works on the furniture and the stairs.
I'm pretty sure my Grandma is smiling down on me. Every vacuum she ever owned was a Electrolux. One time she bought a Oreck and sent it back after a week of having it. |

It's a good vacuum, I got the 90th anniversary edition last year, they are well made vacuums, I'm just not sure how long Aerus's method of selling them will work, these days selling your products on line is almost a must, enjoy that vacuum, it's a good one. |

The Lux Guardian Platinum has a much different motor, built by a completely different company than the Classic model. The Guardian does have a little more zip to it, but it's not really perceptible to your hand when placed over the end of the hose. The two are 'statistically' equals at cleaning power. I have definitely enjoyed using the new HEPA cloth bags (type C) in my Electrolux(Aerus) machines, as it keeps the bag compartment spotless. The blue Aerus bags leak fine dust and clog fairly fast.

I agree that the hepa cloth bags are much better than the Aerus paper bags. Actually, for any vacuum, if you can use a cloth bag instead of paper, you should do so, they work better and do not rip as easily. |

I have the 90th Anniversary Black one as well and I do. I love it!!! What is funny is that Jacob has even been doing more housework lately. He likes using it. What is funny about this is that he always avoided vacuuming because he never liked my Rainbow. When we first met his vacuum was just a big shop vacuum.
I am cleaning today and will use it. It is actually a fun vacuum to use. |

I wanted to put a Central Cleaning System in. However when I had people come out to see how it could be done my house is well over 100 years old and I was told that it would be extremely difficult for the second story to be done. They said the main floor would be easy but the second story layout while possible was going to be a mess and time consuming. It's not a big deal. I don't mind carrying the vacuum up and down the stairs.

If you really wanted one badly a good central vac installer would figure it out. Usually you can run it through a down stairs closet to reach the second floor. |

I was told that it was possible to install a central cleaning system. But I was told that with the layout of my upstairs I would have to put an inlet in every bedroom. I wanted to just put a central inlet in my upstairs hallway but because of the age and layout that would have not worked. Unless I did all direct connect inlets or went with a air powered turbo brush. I wanted a electric brush instead.
It's okay. I have what I want with my Classic and my Rainbow. |

If you ever bring in a machine for warranty service just make sure to have a genuine bag installed |

Nice buy! I have a 90th Legacy. I, too, hope that those machines continue to be sold. They're a real blast from the past. |

The amount of listings on ebay has really declined recently, as have the prices. Especially for the steel body models. |

My UltraLUX before packing it away .. original hose was discarded, since I had to conserve space. |
