Kudos to Electrolux Canada Ltd. Its R & D produced the original automatic E-2000 and the non-automatic E-Special in 1982-the original version of the Clean-Obsessed model CO888 you've featured. Electrolux Corporation USA imported and relabeled the E-2000 as the Hi-Tech 2100 and the E-Special as the Limited Edition 2100 (later 1623) when the two companies merged in 1985. The major Canadian production ceased in 1987, and parts and printing in 1990. Btw, the earlier Electrolux model 1521s had a double clip for the small combo tool and the short crevice nozzle. Thanks for the critique & demo.
Wow that power nozzle is quiet! I was expecting that same whiny noise from it. I think I've heard they moved to a grooved belt system but i've never heard one of the new ones.
Does the suction feel better than a regular electrolux? That was really my only issue with them, they just seemed underpowered to me. I do really like them though.
Nice unboxing vid. Would love to hear your follow-up thoughts after using it for a while. The machine gets mixed reviews -- some say its plastic parts break, especially at the electrical connector. Some don't like the friction fit attachments. I wonder how inconvenient the non-swivel powerhead really is. The design is decades old but it was the best of its time so how does it hold up compared to modern designs? How does it rate compared to your favorite canister vacs today?
I think you've summed it up pretty well. The old school design has too many faults to really compare to a lot of modern machines. However if you got one of these for well below half MSRP it might be worth having. But I would never pay MSRP for this machine.
granted, I love Electrolux and their powerhead design is very nice. However, with your experience using this powerhead, are you finding it does not agitate the carpet near as well as the new wesselwerk powerheads? I have one of the wesselwerk heads and man they are something else. its almost bad if you use one b/c it seems not much else compares.
It's hard to beat a Weasel-Wrek! This machine sits in a weird place in the market It's more for nostalgia on a budget ,then a competition to Miele,SEBO,ETC
If you can then I'd love to see a review on the current Hoover Portapower. It's been going for years but there's no really good reviews of it - bar maybe ibaisaic! It'd be interesting to see how the quality has changed compared to Hoover of old.
@@PerformanceReviews That's exactly why I'd love to see a review! Also, the floorhead looks pretty hard to use, definitely not up to modern standards...
Those turbo brushes are the same turbo brushes oreck sells and several others. It’s a shame they didn’t just add in the electric mini sidekick or their version of it.
Iam refurbishing my 1401B electrolux power nozzle. New brush roller, I took the DC motor apart greased & used tri flow lubricant on sleeve bearings. The brushes look good, I used emery sand paper on the armature cummutatetor. The belt is still good which is believable. I looking for a brown spray paint to match the PN. Does anyone have ideas about matching paint color. I used a small canvas brush & paint thinner to clean the armature & stator. I set in front of a fan to dry. I used a multi-meter & checked winding continuity. I had to drill the head off of one of the bottom plate screws it won't take a screw driver. Then I used needle nose pliers to turn it out while opening the cover a small amount on the side of the drilled screw head. I used to work at my dad's electrical motor rebuild shop in 1981 & 82.
A new Aerus Classic is made side by side in the same factory as these Clean Obsessed and Perfect copies. Aerus moved their manufacturing to China to free up space in their Bristol plant to make big commercial / industrial air purifiers.
How could you possibly say Electrolux “sort of dissolved”? They didn’t go anywhere, they sold their name back to Electrolux Sweden group years ago and continued on as Aerus making two of the same canister vacs with modest changes and the top of the line Platinum or something that is a joint effort with Electrolux Sweden (I think.) They still make the model that Clean Obsessed copied and rhe next step up with the tools on top as they’ve made for 35 years but they’re Aerus. My understanding is they sold the 1521 design to Perfect and the Perfect is indeed based on a 1521. I’m not exactly sure how Clean Obsessed fits in. It is very unfair of you to say the company that designed these is gone. I have also heard these are not anywhere near as well built as the Aerus (Electrolux) machines. Electrolux/Aerus material specs were out of this world. I hope you correct your misstatement. I’m a big fan!
Read your statement it describes a company that's been dissolved. We no longer get real Electrolux in this country. Aerus is not producing canisters as a moment. Check their website for details last time they didn't have any vacuum cleaners up there. Yes edmar is producing stuff in China under various names. But we don't get any swedish "Electrolux" products
The Aerus lux platinum is made in Germany. The lesser canisters are still the venerable Canadian built plastic models from Aerus that have been around for decades with very little in external changes except color schemes mostly. Updated vacuum motors yes. There is nothing in relation to Electrolux of Sweden and Aerus in the states! Aerus is still the same basic company that it was under the Electrolux name.
@@Channel-cm7yc The Guardian Platinum is the same as the Lux Intelligence. They are made by Kolektor in Slovenia. The Electolux Group sold off Lux International in 2009. Vorwerk bought their Asia Pacific business and sells top of the line Vorwerk vacuums in Japan, New Zealand, Australia and elsewhere in the region with Lux Branding. I have a Vorwerk Tiger 260 that is branded as a Lux Sora I bought in Japan. Weirdest looking vacuum on the planet but surprisingly functional. Some Swiss investors bought the European side of Lux International but went bust and ended up selling it to Eureka-Forbes of India in 2011. In Australia and New Zealand a company called Sauber sells the Intelligence. Vorwerk Japan still provides parts and service for old Lux models in Japan. The Lux Intelligence, what we know here as the Guardian Platinum, is the first Lux International vacuum not made by the Electrolux Group of Sweden and the quality is just not there. Even in Europe the Lux dealers swear at them. They are nowhere near as good as the silent and powerful D820 or the old hairy chested D795.
Ok I'm sold, I want one lol 😎 I love your videos, excellent job 😊
I really nice and true electrolux copy. A classic with some modern features. I really like it
Thanks for the review of this type of vacuum old classic!
Very nice! I once had a 1205 and this machine kinda reminded me of it.
Turns out that Aerus still exists and still sell the guardian and old style models so that is an alternative to this one.
Very nice machine!
dude, because of you i just bought one... x

Hi I been watching the video and I very excited to try it because I been used pro team back pack I am sick to pay for repair thanks for information 😊
Wow that power nozzle is quiet! I was expecting that same whiny noise from it. I think I've heard they moved to a grooved belt system but i've never heard one of the new ones.
Their website says it is a poly v-belt. I seriously need to convert my old Electrolux and Tristar power nozzles to this set up.
Glad yours works. Our power head does not work.
Does the suction feel better than a regular electrolux? That was really my only issue with them, they just seemed underpowered to me. I do really like them though.
Hank a regular Electrolux makes about 60"of sealed water lift at the hose on a good day. This machine is slightly stronger than a Miele .
So basically the Perfect C103 is the commercial version of this? Does the Perfect come with the same kind of tools?
I have 2 silver sleath & my cord will not attach 2 power nozel, explain
Reminds me of my parent’s Electrolux which lasted 35+ years.
Sadly Aureus vacuums are too expensive now
Aerus*

I'm glad I am not the only one who NERDS out on vacuums. I can spot a Oreck in the trash 100 yds away, Lol

The filtration alone is not up to standards. I would not recommend. I would look at Bissell Zing or Titan T1400

This is a great Electrolux vacuum cleaner made by Electrolux’s subsidurey
This is not made by Electrolux nor is it associated with them in any form or fashion.
Would you recommend the Vapamore Vento mr 500?
Crapamore? They're made by Qindao Creation Industry and Commerce Company Ltd. in Shenzhen China I believe.

Really wish they would do this in a 220v 😭😭😭
Is Aerus really defunct?
NO.
For 799.00 will this machine last 20 -25 years with ok filtration?
How does this machine compare to sebo?
Durability and filtration
Typically these are sold for much less. Think $400-500
@@PerformanceReviews
Will it last 20 years or there about?
Are miele canasters better, if so how
In every possible way. Filtration, pick up capability, maneuverability, bag size, included accessories, warranty, build quality.
So basically it’s a rebranded/private label Aerus machine.
Not really. It's made by Nationwide Sales & Service at a factory they work with in China.
OR YOU CAN BUY A LUX CLASSIC AND GET THE REAL DEAL.
A new Aerus Classic is made side by side in the same factory as these Clean Obsessed and Perfect copies. Aerus moved their manufacturing to China to free up space in their Bristol plant to make big commercial / industrial air purifiers.
