Interesting. Lux seems to be Sauber in the Australia.

Here is my Lux Roal D790 in action:

Lux and Electrolux Interesting to see this thread. I actually made this video and I mainly got the information from the Hedengren Direct. It's the Finnish direct sales company for the Lux vacuums. Now it's important to know that Lux and Electrolux separated around 1988 when the first Lux Royal...

One thing that is a fact: More bends or twists vacuum has more airflow is lost. Bagless vacuums (especially multi cyclonic) has that problem. Bagged vacuums has much more straight airbath and airflow. Thise videos will show that:

Well 18 amps / 2200 watts is now illegal in EU because of new regulations. It is only that stores can't sell those high wattage vacuums. Of course we can keep them. Only vacuum that comes close to it is the last high wattage Electrolux Ultraone with 465 airwats. One note is that Philips uses...

What is good airflow rating? One very powerful canister is Philips Performer Pro bagged canister vacuum. It has 108 cfm and 500 airwatts of suction/airflow. Something that is excellent for canister vacuum. It is measured from the hose end by the consumer reports. This 2100 watt vacuum is now...

To the n0oxy I have done exactly what you said. Modern high filtration cloth bag + Wessel-Werk EBK 340 to my old canisters (PH is suitable for both). My loyal "tank" Lux Royal D790 and "smooth" Philips P74 Electronic will clean now like I would never guessed that they would do.

Well I know how things went in the US car industry, and how they are today. Interesting subject by the way. My own experience about old vs new vacuums Old - better build quality - heavier - 2 stage slower rpm motor - pleasant sounding - good suction for wattage used - poor filtaration - bulky -...

I personally hate those screamer vacuums. My sister gave to me her couple years old cheap bagless vacuum, because it was constantly glogging and loosing suction due to the poor cyclone design. It has 2100 watt motor and it sounds awful. Loud high pitched motor will make my ears ring. If I...

It finally arrived and what a surprise. It came with telescopic pipe and hose from HYLA ! All this cost just a 20€. Woman who sell this to me obviously didn't know the value of these. Now to the powerhead. I was sceptical at first, because it don't have height adjustment. My experience with the...

It is too far oliveoiltinfoil I totally agree with you. Something like 1200 watts would be much better without energy label, so manufacturers wouldn't need to "hunt" A for energy = around 700W.

Importance of good design Although EU regulations will limit the suction/airflow in the new vacuums good thing is that now manufacturers have to carefully designed their vacuums to maximize the performance. One good example is my Simple Value Bagless Upright vs Electrolux UltraFlex Canister...

In here Finland we have almost same vacuum called Lux Intelligence. It must be the most expensive vacuum here. 2000e!

Neck size Sounds good and for 20 euros I can't go wrong. I did speak with the lady selling it and she said, that it comes with the pipe, wand and hose. Wow! She clearly didn't know the product, because I had to explain that those parts will come apart for easier postage. Of cource I can't use...

I just found used ph from the HYLA water filtration vacuum. It seems like it's exactly like the Wessel-Werk EBK 340. I found it from the Internet thrift store. Lady who sells it says, that it has been used only couple of times and price, just a 20€! So very tempting, but is it any good?

2200W VS 700W Here is direct comparison 2200W VS 700W. Huge difference! Airflow test more than suction test.

Amps & Watts I found online Volts / Watts / Amps Converter site. I did some calculation: 12 Amps/120 Volts = 1440 Watts (US) 220 Volts/2200 Watts = 10 Amps (EU) We have typical 10 Amps circuit breaker/fuse for example for the living room. (16 Amps for washing maghine room etc) High wattage...

Yes airflow is how far vacuum can pick up. Good airflow is also providing better deep cleaning for carpets. Suction is just a pressure. One other thing what vacuum manufacturers had to do when they started to use less powerful motors is more sealed nozzles. For example UltraFlex came with the...

I think that EU went a bit too far with their regulations. Now almost all vacuums have 700 watt motors and that shows in suction/airflow. I know that having over 2000 watt vacuums is a bit overkill, but now we (EU countries) are stuck with this silly regulation what went a bit too far. These new...

Powerhead for the Electrolux (80's) and for the Lux Royal (90's) This was available from the early 80's all the way to the early 2000's. It's built like a tank, but hard to move on the high pile carpets.
