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

Great machine!
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 | ||

Charles
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.

What year did they produce those blue ones? | ||

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... | ||

Oh no, Karl, go for it. Even as good a deal as Nathan is offering, it's not within the budget at present. Again, that's why I posted to Nathan's offer here on the forum, so other people might know I have "passed" on it. | ||

Thanks Charles. I hope someday you do get a Renaissance, but somehow I like your model V much better. In any event, Nathan, could you please email me if you are interested in selling the Lux 9000? My email address is Fishbowl2525@hotmail.com. Thanks. Karl | ||
