Can't wait to see it. I've got a few questions though. 1) Is this a evolution of the Guardian or is this an all new design? 2) Is the new bag a actual type c bag, or an all new bag? 3) Any power nozzle changes? 4) Any effects on other models? | ||

Speaking of price, I thought the guardian was $1500, and anything over that was against company policy. | ||

Hey Joe They have no choice but to use the Aerus name. They are no longer Electrolux and, from what I have read, no longer have any rights to the name Electrolux at all as of the end of this year. The rights to the name were sold back to Electrolux Sweden in order to pay for Tri-Star / Compacts purchase of the company in 2000. | ||

So does that mean they will be dropping the "Lux" name as well? I really hate what Eureka is doing to the Electrolux name at big box retailers. | ||

I think the LUX name is just their way of trying to get around the legalities. They know they made a big mistake marketing wise getting rid of the name and have done everything possible to try to hang on to it. I wish they had put as much effort into hanging on to the quality of the machines. Having worked for Electrolux through the late 80's and 90's as a service manager (among other things) I can say that, while the new machines have got more power it was done by sacrificing the quality of the product. You will never see one of these new machines still running in 50 years or more like the old ones. As far as the European Electroluxes now in stores they are good in their own way but have alot of drawbacks that the older european ones didnt have too.

More info
Ok here are the specs electrical rating 10 amps at 120 volts air watts (motor) 439 CFM 145 Canister weight 11.9 lbs Power Nozzle weight 4.6 lbs canister dimensions 24"l x 9"w x 8.5"h power nozzell dimensions 3.5"h x 15"w x 8"deep cord length 20 ft filter bag capacity 2.5 us qts Type c bag 20 year limited warranty I only have the brochure with no way to scan it in. I should get mine this Friday. Things I picked up as I read the brochure Power Nozzle now has an overheat shutoff. The Aerus symbol lights up when plugged in to show its ready. The buttons have been redone on the wands, but they look the same to me otherwise, except for color. I was hoping for smaller... As mentioned before bag change indicator, no bag, thermal protection indicators. Standard accessories include, Sidekick, Floor tool, Combo tool, Crevice tool, Accessory Caddy (fits on wands), True sealed hepa filtration, and adapter to use with floor tool or combo tool. Hose connects just like the SR6500 (line up the arrows). Hope this helps people who are curious like me. | ||

I'm very glad to see the Type C bag returning to the high end model, and being the standard bag across the canister model line. Its so cool that a bag design that has been in use for 57 years will once again reign supreme. | ||

New Luxe Pics
The Electrolux Dealer is only a few minutes from my house and in the shopping center next to my job. So I decided to snap a pic through the window tonight since I kno everyone is anxious to see it. Sorry for the poor quality but I used my Blackberry and even with the flash it didnt come out that great.

Hose Handle
The handle looks to be a bit smaller and not as clunky as the original style, as are the wands. Tools are now stored on the wand which is a nice idea but I dont think its the most practical, I can see them getting in the way or bumping into something and falling off. Overall it looks nice but certainly not the beauty that the original Renaissance or Guardian were. Im sure it will be close in weight to the Epic 6500 which is a huge plus!

Guardian Ultra Hand Grip The hand grip on this new model is not like the Epic6500/7000/legacy series canisters. It's basically a Tristar clone. Vernon | ||

THANK YOU for the pics, but i am disappointed. maybe now i can get a blue guardian at a more reasonable price. wonder will there still be 3 canisters, or back to just 2, high end and low end ? | ||

new electrolux Tery, The new wands are more round and seem smaller and easier to handle. The floor tool for the present Guardian does NOT fit the new machine. It does have a very powerful air-flow and suction with the new motor. Rob | ||

the average man in the street thinks the louder the motor the more powerful it is. educated and informed people know this is not true. just another marketing thing. joe | ||
