Today I picked up an Electrolux 1521 in a thrift store with the intention of re-selling it. Took it home and took the motor out because it wasn't sounding quite right. I thought it may have been clogged fans or something simple. I discovered that there was a hole in the fan housing that an individual or vac shop had repaired with duct tape. The fan had to have been replaced because the unit has full suction. I just can't believe that a vac shop would take such a hugh short cut. Also the motor is GS electric. Did some Electrolux canisters use GS electric motors?

Maybe I should have said if it isn't depicted in some late night infomercial screaming at them from the TV or featured in some "reality" TV show then it doesn't exist. Feel better now? |

I wanted to see how my 1521 compared to my other 1521 UltraLux. The UltraLux has a 9.0 amp motor without the power nozzle and the 1521 originally had an 8.0 amp motor without the power nozzle. I'm not sure how many amps the replacement motor uses. The UltraLux has a slightly powerful motor. I know Electrolux used model number 1525 on many of their canisters. I'm by no means an Electrolux expert.
