Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Mole, I am very, very glad to hear that Aerus has intentions of coming into its own by way of new product development.  I'm also impressed by the 25-year warranty on the Guardian even though I won't ask about the loopholes. My only problem is indeed language related.  Personally, I'd have thought more of Aerus, a recent acquire of what was an over 70 year old business at the time, if they had simply said that they meant to uphold the traditional values of, Electrolux, the company that passed the gauntlet on to them.

If Areus had done something since its acquisition of Electrolux beyond continuing to put out the same product that Electrolux left off I wouldn't have found some of the text on the website so irritating.  But, instead of making a more clearly representative presentation as to what Electrolux did and what Aerus has followed with (basically nothing) they're fudging that issue by stating, "Aerus began in 1924 under the name Electrolux when Gustaf Sahlin introduced the Electrolux tank vacuum cleaner to the United States. . ." 

Carmine, until they bought Electrolux, I'd never heard the name "Aerus" in my life.  So I have been expecting and am still expecting a new, improved and different product along with the new name. 

Forgot to mention -- there is now a disclaimer on the website stating that Aerus will not honor warranty regarding vacuums bought on the internet, eBay or unauthorized sources.  The claim is that the like are usually stolen, used or rebuilt however I take the discouragement with a grain of salt.  As well, this is no big deal I suppose as, if need be, it is probably less expensive to get an Aerus repaired by any reliable independent place of repair than at one of their franchises.

Best,

Venson
