New Electrolux
Original Message   Jul 1, 2009 4:50 pm
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,

A 20-year warranty but only a 20-foot cord unfortunately. The Ultra Guardian and the Legacy come with the electric mini-nozzle included. However, I think, considering cost, the Legacy and Classic will be the better deal for buyers.

What size is the brushless motor mentioned in comparison to the standard motor they'd used?

Venson,

I agree with you that the Legacy and Classic are the best bang for your bucks here.  If you want to increase the filtration on these two models, just purchase hepa bags instead of using standard paper.  By the way, the Legacy is the quieter of the three.

In regards to the vac motor, it is made by Johnson electric, it is a single stage.  Also, it does have carbon brushes.  It is rather deceiving though, as the brushes come right after the fan unit, and the body of the motor is encased over them.  We are so used to seeing the fan unit, field, brushes on the commutator, and the bearing coming right after this at the end.  Not so in this model.  The brushes are located about half way down the motor.  I do believe Ametek Lamb has a similar version called the Advantek series where they have done the same thing in regards to brush location.   If memory is correct, I believe it is a 5.25 inch diameter???  motor.  Have I seen the motor-yes, held it in my paws.

Hi Venson, it's the nature of the beast.  Automatic Cordwinders typically come with 20 feet or less.

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...

Vernon,


Are the HEPA bags sold by Aerus-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.

No, the hepa bags are not sold by Aerus.  The only hepa bags that I can find to fit style C Lux so far are made by Perfect (Perfect Lux clone canister vac) and by Endust Filtration.

Thanks Vernon,

I'm looking forward to a chance to see this new motor myself. There's been ongoing curiosity on my part as to when they'll start putting out motors of lesser size (by end-to-end depth I'd guess)that can match present power output standards. Also thanks for the noise advisory.

Best,

FWIW, all the tanks have 439 Air Watts.  Classic: 5 year warranty, Legacy: 10 years and Ultra G: 20 years.  All 3 designed and assembled in the USA.
