Electrolux Hi-Tech 2100

[bikerray]

I got the information from hunting through the Electrolux Dealer website looking at all the different service manuals. Also I put the information in a spreadsheet as different models came in I would write down model # and name of the unit. One of the service manuals lists the Regency series as starting in 1988 or 1989.

BTW I have never seen a Regency 3500.

I have yet to see a fish with glutin, it's like Jay Leno says "I never knew how tastey glutin was until I had glutin free"

Switch problems w/my 2100 models

I have a couple of the 2100 series lux's in my collection great machines fantastic suction and actually very quiet running for as powerful as they are. However, I keep having issues with either the on/off switch's jambing or breaking and these particular model machines are not fun to take apart to do repairs on.

Whereas my older metal tank Lux's (Jubilee's etc) with the rocker type on/off switch I've never had any problems with.

Ray,

You should try to post your spreadsheet on here sometime. Sounds like you have a pretty complete list.

Regarding the Model 1572E, a quick search (not in-depth) revealed that the upright Regency Series, Special Edition, and Discovery Advantage had that model id. There may be more.

Kevin,

the Discovery Advantage also is Model 8453. When I would sell a machine that is the Model # I would put down.

 

[kevin]

Thanks, John. I'll make a note that it had two model ids. Any idea what the differences were?

The

way the model numbers that I have and have seen helps the company and sales rep determine when the cleaner was sold, what the price was, what was on the cleaner originally. If the cleaner motor was a new style and performance , the body style could be the same and model number could change. An example, The book for the Discovery Advantage upright says Model 1572 E , well I have the same Discovery Advantage Model 8453 and is a Direct Ship machine meaning you bought the cleaner and it would come off the line at the factory. You couldn't get this one from the dealer. At the time it was a drop down model. The time period was Oct. 1992.Specs were the same as the Regency Upright which had a Model Number 0012.

John,

Thanks for posting the flyers. Very interesting! Yes, please keep posting--and include years of production for each machine and any model ids you have. I'm still not sure I understand about the different model ids--like the 0219 for the Discovery Advantage. Usually when I type a model id in a search engine I can find matching machines. But the ones you've mentioned don't produce any results.

I also wanted to ask you if there is any significance to the crown logo that was on the Diplomats and Ambassadors (that had series ids such as LX and III in them)? Were they like a "crown" or "royal" series?

In addition, were there other special models that sold at fairs, etc. besides the Special Editions?

The Epic 2500 SR must not have had a long run. I haven't seen many online anyway--including eBay. Didn't know that they had drop-down upright models (sounds funny together haha). What were the other drop-down models/names?

 

[tig21er]

Both

the Epic 3500 and Epic 2500 came out in 1993-1994.

Epic Series 6000 SR canister

Model Code 2039 came out October 1992 and replaced the Diplomat LX.
The Epic Series 3000 SR Upright Model code 2041 came out and replaced the Genesis LXe Model code 1541
The Ultralux Classic Model code 2038 replaced the Ultralux LX Model code 1038
In 1993 the Epic 3500 G Model code 1041 replaced the 3000.
The Epic 2500 SR Model code 0041 came out in 1994-I know at least Oct 1996.

Epic

3500 and Epic 2500 were still sold up to October 1998.Oyster color.

 

[kevin]

As always, John, thanks! You're helping me put together a big Aerus/Electrolux "jigsaw puzzle".

Kevin

The model code is different then the model number that is on the machine.

Example my 2004 Aerus Lux Classic

Aerus Classic canister model code 546 the number in the machine C151D (if it's 2004 - 2008) C151G (2009 on)

So if your typing 0219 for the Discovery Advantage the machine would have the number 1572E the person listing it wouldn't know that it was model code 0219
