I got this vacuum for $65.00. I had bearing noise but still was strong. I replaced the motor, and today I got the HEPA filter. I just love it. I swap brush rolls with NOS Electrolux brush roll. For me I think grooms better than current genuine brush roll. It's little stiffer.

Very nice! It was the first iteration of the Guardian label to carry the Lux designator--previous ones were simply labeled "Guardian" or "Guardian Encore". When the Aerus brand was fully implemented in 2004, the numeric labels were dropped; so the "Guardian" moniker was brought back for the direct sales model (for several years it was only used for the indirect sales line). Your models are: for the main unit, C154E; and for the power nozzle, N137S. They were manufactured by Eureka--either in Texas or Mexico.

The styling was also used with the Renaissance, Epic 8000, & Lux 9000 labels; although the Guardians were the only ones to have the HEPA filter. Altogether the series had a dozen tank models and about 10 pn models--both for direct and indirect sales--in its 15-year run, from 1994-2009.

If you need the instruction booklet go to aerushome.com and select the "service" link.

Happy Luxing!

Thank you! I love how light is to carry. That's interesting info you got there. I own four Electrolux canisters. 😄

What others do you own? How do they compare/contrast?

I also wanted to mention that your Lux Guardian was the only one with that label, and was manufactured from 2004-09. It was succeeded by the C170A Lux Guardian Ultra which had a different body style and JEI (Japanese Engine Import) motor. I believe all the Guardians were factory-equipped with VM3 motors.

I neglected to mention that Aerus's main office will be able to give you the year(s) of production if you provide the serial(s)--if you're interested.

 Nice looking machine for sure but looking at that last photo, it seems like the brush roll is out of alignment. Is it not? Aren't those grooves in the wood supposed to align with the rug guards?

Those are not NOS brush rolls, as electromatik pointed out the grooves do not line up. They must've used a model with the wire guards as spacing for the grooves. I bought one just like this on eBay a month ago, I just pulled out the tufts that were rubbing on the bar. Another aspect that shows poor quality I found is that it's out of round, after installing and spinning the brush by hand you can watch the brush roll come really close to the bars then move away. I tried it in my tristar and two luxs and couldn't figure out why it vibrated so much til I did what I mentioned above.

I had one of these....

 , was a mess when I got it for a steal. I got discouraged when I noticed how pricey the Hepa filters were. I ended up buying a generic and selling the vac. The lady I sold it to LOVES it.
