About - Aerus FreshEra
This Aerus FreshEra bagged upright weighs in at a light 11 pounds, which is a consideration since uprights--unlike canisters--require you to push and pull the entire machine over carpets and floors when cleaning. It also has an easy-to-reach power switch, 27-foot,manual-wind cord,and HEPA filtration, the highest level of vacuum cleaner filtration. While HEPA filters can be helpful for those with respiratory problems such as asthma or allergies, it's good to remember that some models without HEPA perform just as well at blocking dust emissions. This model lacks manual pile-height adjustment, suction control, and a brush on/off switch.

Comment:
I really like how light the vacuum is. It has great suction, and does a great job picking up pet hair...even from wood floors. It also has a wider track than the Oreck.
How long have you owned it:
A month or less
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
The Aerus Fresh Era is a very solid light weight vacuum. Have had Dirt Devil, Oreck, and a Phantom Fury in the past, None of which felt very strong, they were all plastic, very flexible, felt like they would come apart though they didn't fall right away, they did seem to get old quickly. The Aerus really shines well on carpet, especially with pet hair.
How long have you owned it:
One-to-three months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
This is absolutely the worst product I have owned in my 60+ year. Just about every part has fallen/broken off and has been taped on to remain functional. When using the hose, the machine constantly falls over. THis week it just stopped working unless the hose is placed in a particular position. Aerus was unresponsive when questioned early on about the problems. This cost about $2,400 new so I would have expected a better life and more acceptable usability. Keep away from Aerus products.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
