Electrolux B-9, B-10, 1522 Q Floor Beautifiers

kevin · Jan 27, 2014

I am confused about when these Electrolux Floor Beautifiers were on the market:

B-9

B-10

1522

I initially thought the B-9 was introduced during the late run of the Silverado (there had been a gray B-8), and the B-10 debuted with the Marquise (based on color matches). However, I just ran across a thread of the Model 1522 Floor Beautifier with a Diamond Jubilee decal and matching colors to the vacuum cleaner.

Until seeing that thread, I presumed that the Model 1522 succeeded the B-10. Could it be that someone just put a Diamond Jubilee decal on a Hi-Tech 2100 version (same color as DJ), or am I missing something?

Take a look at the following pics:

If someone has Electrolux owner's manuals from around that era (Diamond J, Hi-Tech 2100, L-E, Marquise, Grand Marquise...) that might shed some vacuum cleaner headlight on the issue.

B-9

As you have learned the gray B-8 with Silverado was the last with the B-9 coming with the Diamond Jubilee of 1984.They had built in cordwinder,trigger for shampoo release and the new nap lifters.(B-8 & 9 brushes will NOT interchange.)There was an early version that had a permanent bottom suds shield that was not as easy to clean and soon went back to removable.

B-10

The B-10 was the same as the current Floor Pro . The machines have changed color to match the current line up. Quality product.

Thanks for your responses rugsucker and tig21er. I do appreciate your information.

Still hoping to have some definite years as to when each machine was manufactured.

I recently saw an Electrolux Special Edition shampooer, so I'm wondering if that was sold at the same time as the Floor Pro (as I think I read that the Special Editions were offered through retail--not door to door. I wonder if there were also Regency Series and Advantage Series shampooers...or others besides the Epic Floor Pros?

Here are some pics of various Floor Beautifiers/1522s and Floor Pros/(various model ids):
