It appears that in Canada filterqueen has a new model, the "elite". It looks quite slick to me. It will be the same machinery inside I suppose. They also sell a thing called the "aqua defender" which appears to be a water filter.

Reading the website the only change I can see with the "Elite" ( hey, isn't that a Kenmore canister vacuum ? ) is a claim to coat the inside of the bucket with something they say prevents growth of microbes. Sure thing. Ten years from now will that coating still work?
 
Was hers lacking a 2 speed switch? I feel like all door to door model have had them at least back to the model 31 possibly even before that. The offshoot models like the princess and optima were lacking them.
I do think you're correct about the MicroBX coating, pretty sure I've seen that advertised before now.

The difference isn't just a different switch. The motors are different. F-Q two speed motors have four or five wires depending on whether or not it has a bag ( bin ? ) full indicator. The motors are like those old 2-speed Kenmores that had five wires. The switch is a dual pole, dual throw switch that switches the field between parallel and series.
 
🤦‍♂️Ya know....If i paid more attention to the locations of other members I'd have more answers.

Yes I'm aware the motors were different Phil, I've had a princess II open before which was super basic and just used a 2 wire motor. I was just pointing out how strange it was for a model to not have one of the two speed switches, aside from the retail models....Until I got a reminder that the machine in question was overseas.
 
Eh it's ok, I make little mistakes all the time too. It is like how an Electrolux d720 has a switch and a lead switch on each side. Then a long comes the d735 and later models which introduced a board and lots of wires. Interesting they didn't just leave it as it was.

My D730 and D745 have three wires coming off their motors. I am guessing they operate like an Ametek two speed motor switching between parallel and series operation to change voltage to the field. The two speed version of the Tristar CXL had a similar arrangement with three wires coming off the motor and a rocker to switch between low and high speeds. But, I have seen some Luxes like my D795 that use the third wire for the little light show they have that tells you how much power the motor is using. The D790 has the same variable speed control as the D795 but no light show and only two wires to the motor.

Maybe Ametek didn't make a two speed 220-240 volt motor ?
