Lux Guardian Ultra

[sireluxomatic]

Not sure about the Legacy, but I have an Epic 6500, which, so far as I know, is exactly the same vac, and air does escape through the handle. Not sure if they designed it that way, but that machine produces quite a bit of heat, and the big "tool garden" sits on top of the exhaust, with only a relatively small opening in it.

The Epic 6500- Legacy models always remind me of a hearse. Maybe that's just the funeral director coming out in me.

6500 Hearse

Now you mention it, it does look somewhat like a hearse; bigger and wider in the "ass", and tapered downward towards the front. Truth be told, they went to an awful lot of trouble adding the big top/rear end just to accommodate the crevice tool, when the combo tool clipped on to the top of the older ones anyway. Kind of a waste of plastic.

<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">At least the long crevice tool is stored onboard on the Epic 6000/Epic 6500 style canisters</span>


<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"> </span>


<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">The 2100/Diplomat/Ambassador/Lux Classic style have storage clips for the combo duster tool & short crevice tool</span>


<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"> </span>


<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">Older metal canisters have a storage clip only for the combo tool; but no place to store the crevice tool</span>

some of the older metal lux's had an additional clip at the end where you would put the combo dust brush that would also hold a small crevice tool.
