Did they use electric motors in the ones older than you. 

The info that you posted is very interesting and I look forward to reading more.  This is the type of info that we need rather than the constant bickering.

Do you think that most vac problems are user inflicted?

You know H.S. Many repairs are caused by lets say user error or done on purpose by the little ones who break things on purpose just so mommy and daddy has to buy a nice new shinny one ,That the culprits can begin destroying all over again.

It seems that the throw away socierty has taken everything over

If I had broken my parents' possessions on purpose I would have needed repairs more than the broken item.  Society has eliminated almost proper parenting.

Hi MOLE,

Thanks for the repair list. It was interesting to read and also says a lot.

Mole,

 The present owners of Lux had nothing to do with Rennie. When they came into control things changed for the better. Nothing changes over night. I still have satisfied Rennie owners because I took care of them in a timely manner. The present owners worked hard to bring as many Rennies off the market fairly. Before anyone bad mouths the current owners , nothing before 1998 was their fault .

Except the carolina program,The selling out of the name,selling the tooling and bag machine,gutting the company to a shell of what it use to be,plain corporate greed, Heres to the new aerus the healthy home company.

Some legacy HUH

Take care

Hello MOLE:

Are these customers household users of the Sanitaires?  Or commercial users?
