That second paragraph should read: One thing is certain. The Bristol plant is still in operation. It is making air purification products at the very least. Whether they are manufacturing vacuums and shampoo machines there now is anybody's guess. |

I thought so too panasonicvac. What about this "formerly known as Aerus" business? And the fact that the video doesn't show or discuss vacuums at all. Still uncertainty about the situation. |

The main trading name of the company changed from Aerus Holdings, LLC to ActivePure Technologies. That's about all I can find out.
I think they recently did a partnership with NASA and that required the name of the group that owns all the subcompanies to change. Also interesting info I found along the way: fortune.com/2021/07/11/governmen... |

It seems they’re still in the vacuum business, at least that’s what their website shows. Some time ago, they split the vacuum site from the main Aerus site, not really sure why but they did…

That is a strange situation. One now wonders what the point of the name-change to "Aerus" really accomplished?? I wonder if the vacuums will still be sold as Aerus or with the ActivePure name? Weird situation. |

They have been doing a lot of strange things in recent years. I just hate to lose yet another legendary company... Hopefully it is nothing to worry about. |

Electromatik, I completely agree with that. I grew up in an Electrolux household, and to this day still use and rely on their products for home cleaning. Now that Kirby has sold, who knows what will happen with them in the very near future. Last thing I want to see is the demise of Aerus, sadly I do worry about that simply because people don't want to pay a lot for quality vacuums anymore, but would rather go blow their money on disposable junk that is dead in a year or so.....makes me scratch my head sometimes.

Absolutely! They went thru that whole name-change rigamarole and for WHAT?? Electrolux AB's vacuums failed in the US market and I've been hoping that they could get the name back, but I seriously doubt it will happen. Electrolux AB will never let go of it now that they have other products on the market. Another chapter in the convoluted Aerus saga. |

I think the website might need updating. They didn’t even mention the dealership in Ft. Worth. I just now remembered it. The WCYB story is similar to one that was broadcast ion a Beaumont station around the same time. |
