I am sure you can get a legacy for 799 so stick to your guns. That is too high for the classic model. |

Just curious if you've really thought about just rebuilding the Electrolux you have? There is an excellent aftermarket hose that costs around $60. Virtually identical to the genuine. You can obtain a new brush roller for the Power Nozzle for about $25. A new post-motor filter is about $3. You can now use HEPA Cloth disposable bags in your machine. They cost $15 for a pack of six. A vac shop can sell you virtually new attachments. Shouldn't cost more than $20 for the three. That would make your machine just as good as a brand new one, as you've replaced all the wear parts. For less than $150. Unless you really want a brand new one, there's no advantage a new one would hold over your old one if your old one was rebuilt.

This is a summation of the status of most Lux franchises today. They are significantly struggling. My store is not the cheapest store, and even at full retail, a hose, brushroll and "general maintenance" would only run around $150 bucks.
Find an independent store. Irby and Stuchman is a wonderful store down there- tell Johnny that Christopher from Vacuums Etc. in Columbia sent you. They will take very good care of you and your machine. |
