Electrolux / Aerus Lux Legacy 1

Do not waste or spend extra money buying the Aerus Lux Legacy Upright Vacumn. I have been using Aerus/Electrolux vacumns for 40 years and the earlier models (1970's and 1980's) are a work horse, however, since the company has changed or restructured during the 1990's their products have lessened and are less dependable. I purchased the Aerus Lux Legacy in Summer of 2006. Because I now use a home cleaning company, I seldom use this product. During the Holdiay season ending in January 2008, I went to pull the vacumn cleaner out of the broom closet and dust it off having only used this machine 3-4 times since obtaining ownership during Summer 2006. I went to vacumn up xmas glitter from taking down the holiday decorations and the beater bar engine suddenly died.

I immediately called the manufacturer in the Marietta, GA service center and the owner would not come and retrieve nor repair the appliance. I had to take the unit to another vacumn shop in Atlanta, GA that repairs all makes and models. The cost to repair with parts came to around $110.

This is not a good product having only used the machine less than 12 times and having a major engine failure. Beware and do not purchase this product. The customer service from the sellor/manufacturer is rated low, too. Thank you.
