These later XL's can be especially talented at putting up with abuse. The fans are so small and tough. Sometimes the fan housing lets go before the fan even cracks at all. Whatever the "MetaXalloy" fan is made from, it's pretty darn impressive. | ||

Unfortunetly you don't get them in SA officially , plenty around though, as a company importing them unofficially but it didn't last as the cheepest one was about $100.00 more expensive than the most expensive dyson and sebo.
Great machines though I hope someone can get them here officially. When they come in my shop its either for a belt change or a damaged cord , never repaired any thing else on them. I would stock them if they sold them here properly | ||

Hi....
Hi all. I've always been told that most dirty fan manufacturers use a high quaility plastic instead of metal so that the break point is the fan/chamber. Cheaper to replace a fan etc than replacing a burnt out motor because the fan got jammed up??
I had a Oreck come in once where the motor had burnt out as a sock or was it underwear that got wrapped around the fan. Mind you I had a dirty fan Electrolux upright have the fan damaged as the realative sucked up the same kindda thing. Lucky the fan went and not the motor. Suppose it goes for the rubber belts. Better a belt break than the motor burn out if you catch something in the brush roller. James:o) | ||
