Hi everyone. I am looking at an Electrolux Lux 5000. I was told that it's one of the last models using the old style Electrolux motor style before the company began using Swedish-made Domel and Johnson motors. I'm told these motors are inferior and cannot be rebuilt and must be replaced. What date did Electrolux do this?
I was just told that my Guardian Ultra, about 12 years old, needs a motor. Other than a previous Diamond Jubilee model, I've never replaced a motor in an Electrolux. I'm guessing that motor (a single stage, I'm told) is one of these inferior motors. I have a Lux Classic and a Guardian Ultra, and while I do like the vacuums, I'm less than impressed with the quality.
Was the info I received correct? I have an Electrolux LE (the taupe model from 88-89) and am waiting to receive an Electrolux Advantage Series tank. Due to the age of these cleaners, I'm guessing they also have the old motor types.
Any insight is welcome. Thank you.
