I'm not sure if this was completely random or not, but I do have examples of machines with these stickers. Note 4: Some machines have either an American flag oval sticker, specifying the places of manufacture, design, and engineering, or a "Good Housekeeping" guarantee oval sticker on the attachment compartment door. However, one would have to consult a motor expert to get these facts right, and I'm certainly no expert. I do know that its rated at 8.2 amps, whereas the C154B is 8 amps, so perhaps the motors are different. One of these days, I might bust open the C154E to see what kind of motor it has. My C154B (single stage) motor looks exactly like this, except the carbon brush holders and fan surround are black: It wasn't radically different from the basic Electrolux design, except for the additional wiring and circuit boards, of course. *It just so happened that I dismantled my Guardian C154B today, mostly to see what these machines were like inside. I'm fairly sure Electrolux used to build its own motors, until some of the later models, perhaps including these two Guardians, when they contracted that work out to other companies.

Videos I've seen of the other models, as well as the models I own, have the "classic Electrolux" sounding motor. My Aerus Guardians Models C154B and C154E certainly have a very different sounding (and apparently more powerful) motor than previous models. Note 3: I'm not sure when they changed the motor in these models (I believe its called the "VM3" motor?)*. However, I can at least 'hazard a guess' for the rest. The only dates I can be sure of are for the Electrolux Guardian 75th Anniversary model, Model C134A, which most certainly came out in 1999, and the Aerus Lux 9000, as the company name changed in 2003, and this is the first machine with the name 'Aerus' on it.

I've heard and seen so many varying dates in my research on these models that its nearly pointless to present them here. Note 2: I'm not exactly sure of the chronology and manufacturing dates of these models, although I think I do have them in the correct order, at least based on the model numbers, which would presumably run in sequence. I can't vouch for 100% accuracy, especially because models for sale on eBay and elsewhere are not infrequently shown with mismatched hoses, power nozzles, and other attachments, and/or missing their logos and ratings stickers. Note 1: These model characteristics and differences are based on models I own and pictures and information about models seen on the internet. Besides that, I have, in other forums, tried (unsuccessfully) to get answers about these models, so the old idea of "If you want something done, do it yourself," applies here.Ģ) I really believe that these models, along with the earlier Renaissances and Epic 8000, represent a very unique period in Electrolux and Aerus history, and they are my personal favorites out of all the models.ģ) Eight (or possibly nine) different models in eleven or so years? That's a fair number of machines to characterize and keep track of.and, despite what you might find on eBay, there is no such machine as an "Aerus Electrolux Guardian 90 with warranty Renaissance Wow Epic 6500 Legacy".

There are plenty of sources out there for information on vintage Electroluxes.not so many for newer ones. I created this page for three reasons:ġ) There doesn't seem to be a great deal of information about this period of Electrolux and Aerus history, which would tentatively be from 1999, the date of issue of the Electrolux Guardian 75th Anniversary Model C134A, to the introduction of the 'redesigned' Aerus Lux Guardian Ultra, which I believe came out in 2009-2010.
