It was a store model
I believe this was the one that was sold at Macy’s stores for a while in late 80s early 90s. Sam’s Club sold some too around this time but unsure of what model it was “named”. Also some were sold at Service Merchandise and QVC but again I’m not sure what they named these that were sold at these retail stores, but I had heard on this site that someone said the Regency series were definitely the ones that were sold at Macy’s and it’s quite possible. I do remember seeing a plastic model like this in this coloring for sale In Macy’s stores myself at that time, but I can’t say for sure it was called “Regency series”...I just don’t remember, but the coloring seems right from my memory.
Craigslist has so many more Aerus/Electrolux’s for sale in the New England corridor. Possibly because the product in general was a big seller there so it’s legacy continued. There’s almost never any down here in Dallas. I grew up in Northern NJ and Electrolux was very popular and my family all lives in New England now and still we see a lot more of the products in their region than I do down here. Perhaps because this is a newer city than the established New England and East coast area where the product gained large popularity during its early years and continued forward. Down here, this city growing so rapidly In more recent years that a large part of the population are transplants from all over and the product is more popular among only older generations.
