Please explain the difference, if any, of the green-, white-, and blue-bristled brush rolls formerly available through Electrolux/Aerus. And, by the way, what does "HPO" stand for?


What I've observed or read already:

1) The Model U140A/Lux 4000 and Models C134D, C134E, and C134F (not sure about all of them)/Lux 9000 had pns with special motors that could better handle the green-bristled HPO brush rolls. The pn Model N142A seems to be the only one that was factory-equipped with the HPO brush roll.

2) The Model D146A/Drilux (dry carpet cleaning system) came with the multii-helix white-bristled brush roll (looks like a TriStar "T-shape" rebadge).

3) The Model D146B and D146C DriClean/Driluxes (standard L-shape nozzle) came with the blue-bristled "pile lifter" brush roll and were sold around the time of the 80th anniversary Model C152E/Ultralux.

4) The green-bristled brushes were stiffer than the standard black-bristled double helix rolls.


Is this information accurate?

Did the Centralux power nozzle(s) and/or commercial cleaner(s) that were available from branches at the time come equipped with the HPO brush rolls?

The green ones were only available on the lux 9000 canister and 6000 upright. You could buy them separately and put them in any PN. I have had several green ones and I did not really notice that much of a difference, some people said it makes the vac feel self propelled. On my carpets at least I don't really notice a difference at all. I have a brand new green and brand new black regular chevron, so I can back up my findings.

Update

 Currently on eBay is a Model U140B/Lux 6000 with a HPO (high-performance output) brush roll. It was the first of three versions of the Lux 6000 (the others were models U140C and U156A) which succeeded the Model U140A/Lux 4000.

The new brush roll and pn-motor is likely the reason for the change in the # of the identifier from 4000 to 6000.

As near as I can tell the other cleaner that came with a factory-equipped HPO brush roll is the Model C134F/Lux 9000 with the Model N142A pn--the 3rd and last iteration of the Lux 9000s (its other models were C134D and C134E).

The year of manufacture for the HPO brush roll seems to be around 2003 - 2004.
