Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

I heard tell that there was a new Lux coming down the pike.  Anyone have any info?  Is it a new Lux or a redesigned Guardian?

Some hear tell it has a digital motor. 

Hi again,

If we're same page the new machine is called the Lux Guardian Ultra. Aerus says that if has been out for about one month and that its HEPA filter has been redesigned to fit internally.

I'm going to take a ride over for a look today.

Yep its the new Guardian Ultra from Aerus.  The local store in my area moved to another location and unfortunately its much to far away.  I wish they would just update their website so we could take a look at the machine.

So new its not even on the Aerus Web Site yet.  Sounds exciting.  439 Air watts.  Sounds like it handily beats the brand that coined air watts as it's standard for suction.  Gotta love competition.

Hello turtle1

Best I've heard to date.  Hopefully will get more more info on this new Aerus model from an Aerus expert.  Sounds like a winner depending on the price.  The highest a/w in the industry will be a definite talking point in the Aerus demo over the d brand canisters with all their supposed innvovations.  Eye on the prize.  Beat the competition at their own game!  Then bury them for good.

LOL!!!!The suction is crazy but I wish they would fully redesign the power nozzle for better deep cleaning.

Hello vaclov and Venson:

Be nice.  DIB and HS will take umbarge at these remarks as attacks against dyson uprights for its puny brush bars. 

Procare is right on and is MOLE.  DC28 design could be problematic by sealing too tightly with rugs and stiffling suction power even resulting in overheating.  Note the Aerus write up about the Aerus power brush heads and tools.

I went. I saw. And I said enough already!

My local Aerus/Electrolux dealer has closed up shop. So I took a three-mile trip to an Aerus dealership in Rego Park expecting to see something at journey's end and almost did. Keeping in mind that you can't tell a book by its cover, I hope there's a lot in the pages cover to cover.

This particular dealer has not yet put the one piece he has on hand out for display in his window but he does have new Ultra Lux Guardian posters hanging about the shop. Believe me, even if they'd set the real item in front of me -- the Earth would not have moved.

The new Ultra Lux Gaurdian is basically an old Electrolux Epic with a new top, slightly lower profile and slightly fattened up furniture guards AND is non-commital beige. Wheels set, hose fitting all still the same. The hose end appears to be the lesser version they always sold -- equipped with simply an on/off switch for the PN, a locking button and what I assume is another button for decreasing suction. As the combi-tool for above the floor and the crevice tool all clip onto a wand, there's no need for attachment storage of any kind atop the cleaner. PN is also the standard deal.

Apparently, the HEPA is lies horizontally and the bag size is the standard size Lux bag not the slightly larger type "R" the Renaissance and Guardian models use.

The cleaner's carry handle, nothing more than a handhold, is integrally worked into the new top piece on the cleaner. There is of course venting slots on top at the motor end. And . . . that's it.

Entering the store under the guise of a prospective customer of course -- wonder if I'll get an Oscar this year -- I popped the question, "How much?" The young man minding the shop got his boss on the phone and the answer to my query was, "$1,699.00. But that can be reduced if you have a trade-in. He asked what vacuum I owned (crazy guy) and I mentioned that I had a Kirby G5. For that he said could drop the price by $300 to $400. Just this moment my Mieles feel like a gift from God.

The only thing to impress is the 20-year warranty. The power spec is no big deal. I already own a 200-buck Black & Decker vac that has a 1200 watt motor and power aplenty though not a tool set I care for.

Quoting a friend of mine when she realized she'd met the man she was going to spend her life with -- "It's just all so damned inevitable."

Hello Venson:

You're shooting holes in my dreams!

Not really.  Thanks Venson for the review.  Sounds like the lux classic is still the best for the money!
