Until you posted this I'd totally forgotten about those. Never see them around anywhere. |

I have a monotone gray Rennaisance and its successor, the Epic 800, in my collection. They're really wonderful Electroluxes; they're quiet, powerful, effective cleaners. They're heavy, though. I never cared for the Guardian models' HEPA module; it's ugly. I would prefer the older models used with IOTA bags than the new ones with the expensive, proprietary HEPA filter on top.

Those add on HEPA filters they and I think Rainbow use are like a pimple on the backside. Certainly ruin the looks. The blue definitely looks classier |

I agree - the Renaissance is a great machine. I got one new for Christmas and still have it. Great suction, long cord and hose. I heard that they had trouble with the circuit boards, but haven't experienced it. I sent it to Charlie Watrous who did a beauty makeover and sent it back. Here it is when I received it for Christmas. My partner Ed never had any problems figuring out what I wanted for Christmas. Bought at the Glendale, CA Electrolux branch.

Yes, Pete & I were discussing this first issue Renaissance today and how sharp & dignified it looks with the dark bumper strip and painted in speed strakes and lettering. We'll both be looking for one...er...two. :-) But it may be a few years yet before these start showing up at the ReStore. LOL. You can bet I'll be taking a picture of it to my Mom in London so she can start canvassing the other widows in her building... |
