If my vacuum can remove even one spec of dirt that yours misses, then mine is better than yours - even if there's no proof that mine would have picked up as much dirt as yours...

Hey turtle1,
For all intent and purpose, Aerus does the same thing. Matter of fact many such sales and service venues here have been slow in dropping the Electrolux name on their shingles.
Deeming their own product as too superior for anyone else to touch appears a way for manufacturers to infer, "Nobody can take care of our product as well as we can," and also generate money not just from parts but service on out-of-warranty appliances at their centers.
Venson Speaking of Aerus/Lux, they still deliver bags, filters, and supplies. Out of the blue, I had a rep come to my house for a free checkup on my Lux.
The smart tyrant writes his own story to ensure that it is favorable. The lazy will repeat lines from the book without fact checking.

Venson, Aerus/Lux has in the agreement that the dealers as well as Aerus can have Aerus as the lead logo with the lower part having the Electrolux for 25 years. They can have it in the phone ads too. In smaller print you see "The Original from 1924-2003". They still have a policy of free pickup and delivery and delivery of bags and other parts to customers. Procare

Electrolux invited bo-jacking by their dealers by selling everything to them at full retail, and then paying their dealers commission! Bah, Humbug! If they had sold at a decent discount to the dealer and the branches, and let them make profit on their sales, they could have controlled the bo-jacking, and kept the dealers loyal and happy. They would have been more motivated to call on existing customers because they could have made decent profit on bags, hoses, etc. instead of just a little better than breaking even. I don't know if Aerus can ever recover their former glory. At one time there were over 500 Electrolux branches in the US alone, with only four machines G, L, Commercial wet/dry and B-8 polisher/scrubber they sold THREE MILLION units a year. Unheard of, and never surpassed by anyone except Big Box Brands

If not, I would suggest that one of the larger 3M clothlike bag, says the HOOVER Style Y, be cut to fit the bag holder cavity, before the Lux paper bag is inserted.</p><p>Carmine D.
Hi Carmine, Doesn't Perfect Lux sell the 3M style bag? Vesnon
