I believe the reason you would buy this is mostly nostalgic. It's a very sexy looking machine and reminiscent of the old days. the other reason I could see for buying this is living far away from a city and needing that extra come to me service that Aerus offers. That being said, I think there are plenty of other good canister vacuums in the $600-$1500 that are more modern lighter more maneuverable and better in just about every way. |

In using mine--the only disadvantage is the long body-is hard to turn around in tight places. |

I put it into rotation quite often, and am always happy with my results. This machine is so quiet and powerful. As far as maneuverability it is no worse than other Electrolux, or long body machines. |

The attachments are non standard, and the wands are clunky. It is still, an Xcellent vacuum. Did I mention whisper quiet. The power nozzle makes more noise than the vacuum itself. |

The only thing I would like to see is the speed control put on the hose handle like on the older models.I enjoy my Platinum anyway and have central vacuums I use too. |

They didn’t keep this power nozzle around for long.

N0oxy: My Platinum did come with an adaptor-use the Volt Nozzle more than the stock one!It goes into the handle end of the hose. |

I have an early model as well. My bag light will come on when you need to change the bag, but it does not shut off automatically. I understand they fixed this a little later on in production, so that it would shut off the motor and light the bag change indicator.
I only used mine a few times and put it away, I will have to get it out and use it again.

I've had mine for about 6 months now. There are things I like and things I don't
Pros. It's airflow and suction are the highest of any canister i've measured so far. It's super quiet Mini electric power nozzle Stylish design Cons: Short wands (for a guy my height at least) Weak powernozzle (IMO) Small bags High running cost due to double hepa Body not as maneuverable compared to other high end canisters It's overall a nice machine but, honestly it's one i don't often reach for. I really wish I could put a different power nozzle and wand on it, as I feel with it's specs it's holding it back from doing so much better. |

I've had mine for 5 years. For the most part I like it although I have never liked the bulky wands and hose handle. The hose handle is slightly smaller though than on the 6500 and 9000 that I had. When I visited the vac museum Tom gave me a brush roll with stiffer bristles - it made the world of difference to the effectiveness of the power nozzle. Mine does not shut off either when the bag is full - only the light turns on. Also it will run with no bag in place. Although the bags are small, they hold a lot of dirt and get packed solid before the light comes on.
