I am looking to buy a used electrolux vacuum cleaner. I have the choice between the ultralux, the marquise, the diamond jubilee, and the olympia. Which one is the best model? Which has the best performance for the least amount of repairs?
The Ultralux is the newest of your list. The Olympia has the old type powernozzel that is rectangular. The rest have the new L shaped powernozzel and the brush is longer. As to the performance, the three newer vacuums should be the same. If the vacuums are used and not rebuilt, I would select the Ultralux. The Marquise had a motor issue when they came out and if the motor has not been changed I would stear clear of it. I changed 37 motors in one month under warranty. They did rectify the problem with the later models of the Ultralux. Joe
