New Electrolux
Here is the picture I have of the new Lux. I guess you guys are having the same reasponse that I posted at the start of this thread. It does have a lot of power and air-flow. It looks very nice in person and I am sure most customers will appreciate the lighter weight.
It is a proven design and with the economy right now it may be a good move. Glad to see the Lux still around. I am tired of all the "new" BAGLESS machines that have filters that clog.

Tery,
The new wands are more round and seem smaller and easier to handle. The floor tool for the present Guardian does NOT fit the new machine.
It does have a very powerful air-flow and suction with the new motor.

Mike,
Check the front of this thread as it gives the price and other specs. I was told about $1600.00. It still has a quality look and feel compared to many other machines on today's market. Good design is good design. I will bet we will see this style Lux around long after the plastic bagless machines have gone to the dumsters.
We collectors are hard to please. We gripe if they do away with an old design and we gripe when they don't makes changes. I think they have tried to make a very sturdy machine a little better by keeping the Electroux features of easy bag change,automatic shut-off,full size tools and easy to use power nozzle and done away with some trouble prome features such as the adjustable shut-off,3 speed motor and hose handle off/on controls.

I agree! Bring back the telescopic wand!

I just looked at this new machine and was very disappointed. It is lightweight but the plastic seems really cheap with the "silvertone" areas looking like spray paint.
It's also LOUD . . . louder than the previous models that are still available. I asked the salesman about this (as he turned them both on) and he said "Yes, it is obviously louder. . . I'm not sure the company is aware of this!" I was quoted $1300.

Loud New Lux...!
I am not surprised if they are cost cutting. I guess they took out some of the insulation that kept the noise down.
Ironically, when the 1205 came out they actually did this on purpose to increase the noise. Some research demonstrated that the Model G was too quiet!!! Go figure. Apparently folks did not feel like they were cleaning or working hard enough with such a quiet vacuum. So the 1205 removed all the padding that had been designed into the G for noise reduction.
I was selling for Electrolux at the time, and I cannot tell you how bemused we all were when this was explained at a morning sales meeting!
So here we go again. Oh well....

Well, if you got the money & want new I guess go for it but
I like the older stuff & can;t afford the new.
I just sold my lux 2100 with PN. They got a great buy on that vac as I got it when it was only 3 years old & I hardly used it in 16 years. The powernozzle was like new & I'm sure a 1990 lux 2100 is every bit as good and better than a new lux though it needed a new hose as the old cloth hose was leaking as is natural. So with a new hose it would be ready yo go for another 20 years.
BTW Love the G as its got a metal lined bag compartment compared to the plastic of the later model metal tanks.
My grandmother bought a new 1205 from lux. Only luxes we ever had were old ones but heck they last forever.
