Hey all,
I haven't participated here much at all for some time. Kind of seems like it's been a bit quiet in general, looking around. I hope y'all are doing well. Strange times we're living in. On to the subject at hand. I needed another Aerus/Electrolux canister like a hole in the head. But...someone found one at an estate sale, and was reselling it. I'm apparently the only interested party, and if I didn't buy it, he was going to part out a clean, one-owner vacuum. I felt I had to come to the rescue. Actually, this is my first Aerus Legacy branded machine. All of my others are Electroluxes. The problem is, the estate sale organizers couldn't find the wands and bare floor brush. So, I have everything else but. I don't know the year of the vacuum, but it was the all white with a grey bumper down the sides of the canister/tank. I've always been attracted to that color combination. I'm wondering if anyone here would have the wands and floor tool for this model, or can recommend a good place to deal with. They would have to be solid white, as is correct for this machine. None on the eBay. I see them listed at eVacuumstore, but the price would essentially double what I paid for the vacuum. If that's my only avenue, and if they have a solid reputation, I'll just have to bite the bullet and pay it, I guess. They don't seem to have the correct floor brush though. They have ones that would work, but I'm looking for it to be the correct color too. Theirs all seem to have a blue bumper. While I think the original one for this vacuum would have been solid white, I would even settle for white with a grey bumper. At least that would match the main body colors. The ultimate would be a flip floor tool in white with a grey bumper, but I don't think any such animal was ever made. I know I've gone and gotten too wordy again. Sorry. Thank you for reading all of this, anyone who stuck with it! I appreciate any and all help, suggestions, advice. Barry |

Hey Jon,
Thanks for the reply. I'm probably just going to buy the aftermarket wands from eVacuumstore for now. I have no experience with the aftermarket ones. Hopefully, the quality is decent. If I happen to eventually find a set of genuine ones, reasonably priced, I can always pick them up too. For some reason, the solid white ones seem harder to find. I see a few grey and white, and you can find blue and white all day long. Barry |

Hey just a heads up the Guardian ultra was, to my knowledge, the 1st of the lux units to carry the "new" style wands. Which were used on the tristar EXL/MG/CS machines as well as the lux platinum. These were slightly smaller than the wands used on the 6500/renaissance/guardian etc machines. So the neck of it wouldn't be compatible unless you were to swap the neck.

The last thing I needed was another one of these vacuums. But, I couldn't resist.
I like the color combination. It's my first example bearing the Aerus brand. And, if I didn't buy it, it was going to be parted out. And it looked too clean and complete for that. Well, except for the wands and floor brush. I have a spare floor brush I can use on it, it's just not the correct color. And I already have aftermarket wands on order. This really is a sickness, isn't it. Barry |
