Interesting new Electrolux design
Boy Skip, that is a unique vacuum. I haven't yet seen them at my local Lowe's.
I assume the handle collapses for storage (like the HooverZ)?. I can't tell by the pictures on the carton, but does this come with attachments?

Hi Mom and David
It doesn't have any onboard attachments at all. To be honest it reminds me of my Miele Art, the only difference is the Art does have on board attachments. You'll check out the lkink here these 2 videos sold me on it. Sorry I'm late in repondsing as I'm burning up in fever must Have a vurus

I was really suprised when I called my Lowe's today and there were in stock. I called electrolux about 2 weeks ago and They said it was scheduled for a Thanksgiving premier but the tech decided to wait till the first of the new year to premier it and I have to say the price wasn't bad at all I got it for 297.00 but with Tax it ran 321.00 Which I was suprised because Electrolux told me they up the MSRP to 499.00 but Lowe's had them for 297.00

I didn't have a clue that Eureka was making electrolux but to be honest I like Eureka alot as well so I'm really satisfied with the intensity even though I paid 321.00 for it. I have some really nice eureka's in my collection too.

It's probably an excellent machine. I just think it's sad that Electrolux is no longer in business. Eureka bought the name "Electrolux" about 6 years ago. Just as now there are Dirt Devils out there with the Regina name on them. Aerus now makes a machine that resembles the Electrolux (they simply call it "Lux"), which is probably the same caliber machine as the original Electrolux. The design of the new Lux Guardian hasn't changed all that much from the Renaissance of 10 years ago. I personally would not want to pay $2000 for a machine that does not even bear the "Electrolux" name, even if the motor has a 25-year warranty.

I totally agree with You as well and looks like all the companies are selling out, Hoover among them, Yes I know areus makes the Guardian 9000 which I wouldn't mind having as I do have the renaissance. But there are right now a high dollar vacuum even on ebay. I just wonder now if all the future vacuum cleaners are going to be just plastic junk.

Electrolux
Actually.. Electrolux is still in business .. we are the same company that we have always been. In 2003 however the word "Electrolux" was sold back to the European AB Electrolux and we became Aerus/Electrolux. AB Electrolux out of Europe in turn bought Eureka and now are producing vacuum cleaners and calling them Electroluxes. It was a silly thing to do and I deal with explaining this to customers every day. The Electrolux machines being made by Eureka are cool looking machines, but they have had major problems with them. I have a whole handful of them in the backroom that have been traded in on "REAL ELECTROLUXES". I have even had customers call in and tell me that the wands have caught on fire on these "Eurekaluxes" as we call them in the industry. So keep in mind.. if you know anyone who is shopping for a Electrolux, make sure that they are aware that these orange machines are not the real thing

No, I'm not at all saying that it's a bad vacuum, and with it being your vacuum, I'm sure it will be fine. Being a vacuum collector and taking care of your vacuums, it will be fine. Its the ordinary everyday customers who buy it as their only vacuum that will wind up having problems. It is a cool looking machine, have fun with it!
