Anyone else notice their newer Electroluxs are not a sealed system? I went to use the blower function on my Legacy yesterday (to blow out another vac) thinking the exhaust would be fairly powerful. Well, it's not! It was blowing air out the opening for the cord winder and hole on the top for attaching the tool rack.
It sucks because my 2100 is sealed and is as powerful on the exhaust as my Tristar. I thought about opening the Legacy up but there is probably no reason to do so. All of them are probably that way. | ||

What's funny is that is the exact same mold and shell they used for the Electrolx LE, which was the bottom of the barrel bargain bin model of the early 90s.
It might be a part came loose inside and it's letting air through, but not sure how these were built.

These machines are so easy to take apart, it's definitely worth opening it up to see if something has come dislodged inside. Once you get the case open, which takes, at most, a large flat-blade screwdriver and a hammer to dislodge the side strips so you can slide them off toward the back, you can pretty much remove and install components by hand with no tools. I'm more a fan of the earlier metal canisters but I do have a certain respect for the elegance of the plastic canisters' design.

I didn't think any of their models except for the Lux Platinum were sealed systems. If you use HEPA bags then it shouldn't be a big deal. | ||

Yes my Guardian Ultra is sealed unlike my 2100 which blows unfiltered air everywhere
I bought the Guardian Ultra brand new around 2009-10 (I requested the 'Classic style' hose, wands, tools & PN instead of the stock accessories that usually come with the Guardian Ultra) The 2100 leaks unfiltered exhaust air around the cordwinder 'hole' & from the carrying handle, so I put weatherstrip seal around the motor/housing & it solved the problem | ||

I'm hoping Aerus will discontinue these ancient designs and upgrade their machines. They need new sealed body molds and improved filters. | ||
