I know, the 500s i've heard good things about. But for now this Lux will do. I would like to know when this machine was made, the rating sticker may hold this clue. Can anyone tell me what year it was made in by the rating sticker? Not that familiar with luxs' | ||

Ah right. Think i'll just settle thinking it's a 94 one. But still, cheers! :D | ||

Could the date of manufacture not be the 449 part of the ser
No. If you look at the serial number of your 560, there is a space between the 326 and the rest of the serial number. These are the ones that can be dated. In the early-mid 90's, Electrolux stopped using this method (as did Hoover with their serial numbers) and I don't think it is possible to date the machine from this style serial number.
It's an interesting idea though that the first 3 numbers still date it. We will have to test this theory with other machines from around that time as they crop up. | ||

Yes you are right, there is a model number and the serial number on the 560 just says 3 26, and nothing else. I cant see anything stamped after the 3 26 as there is no more numbers in the serial number box. | ||

I just looked at the moulded plug and there's a dial, with several numbers and an arrow. Either side of this arrow is '94' suggesting that this Lux was made in 1994, so not quite vintage but it will be next year! (Well it's vintage style, just look how similar it is to the 500s!) | ||

Well done on thinking to check the plug. I too always suggest this when a lead is original to the cleaner. Great minds do think alike, as they say. | ||

Indeed they do :) I love my Lux! The Swedes know how to make a good design. So far, I think a Turbpower 2 will have to wait. Make room for more Luxs'! :D | ||
