I suppose I shouldn't even be responding, since I can't answer any of your questions.
But I like Electroluxes, so I can't help it! Anything I could tell you about it, it seems like you already know. I believe it was the top of the line model when new, and probably called the Renaissance. My mom owned one briefly, back when she was trading them in every so often for the newest version. Hers was an earlier version, based on the color. The buttons on the handle pretty much run everything. Power on/off. Brushroll on/off. The speed of the motor. I know that the experts can date them by the color. However, I'm not an expert. 🙁 My Ambassador III that I picked up off the curb is that same color though, so I'd be curious as to when it was made too. The one you're considering is an Electrolux...before the name change to Aerus. Also, I believe later versions had an external HEPA filter on top of the exhaust port. I don't have any personal experience with this model. My "fanciest" Electroluxes are Epic 6500s. But, for the Epic, you can find aftermarket hoses. The complete assembly with the handle and ends and everything. I'm always leery of aftermarket, but maybe they're fine. Perhaps aftermarket hose assemblies are available for this model as well. Something to consider if if the genuine article isn't available, or is outrageously expensive. I'm sure someone owns the Renaissance/Guardian machines, and can be of more help to you. I just wanted to chime in. It looks like a beautiful machine! If you decide to buy it, I hope you love it, and it works out great for you! Barry |

Hi Patrick.
Doing a quick eBay search, I see a few sellers offering new, aftermarket hoses for this model. They all seem to be grey, which would be nice, but the connection at the end might be a lighter color than your original. I don't know if that would bother you. They all seem to be in that $75 range that you mentioned, and they don't include the handle with all the controls. Maybe on the Renaissance, you don't have to replace that part when replacing the hose. Now you've piqued my interest! You'll have to keep us posted! Barry |

Yes this is a Renaissance. There are 2 versions. This is the first version with darker grey (charcoal - grey) and the second version was a light grey (oyster - grey). Only difference between the two models were the color.
The Renny was the first to have this bigger bulkier design which I personally like. Kind of retro looking to me almost like a model 30 with a modern twist lol. After the renny the color became white and grey and white and blue, the models were lux 9000 and guardian. By this time there were know as Areus. |
