I want to know what was the first Electrolux model 2100 color?

[scvacuumguy]

That is a Peanut motor. It is loud and whiny and not the best motor ever. The tube extends the bag housing so it can be used in certain models with the shorter housing.

We normally use a nice two stage motor that we drill out to put in those machines. Much better noise level and better suction. Longevity is better

Is the 2-stage motor a Ametek/Lamb & which one is it?

The tan/burgundy Lux is probably about 88 and was made along with upright for Sams club.To reach more customers Elux managment decided to have usual models for company owned sales offices and door to door sales,slightly different models at lower price at certain dept stores and a program for direct ship from home shows,etc.If you bought one from your "friendly Elux man" and were shopping later at Sams and see Elux in different color and no bumper on floor tool at a reduced price how would you feel?And so did many loyal customers who passed these feelings along to the salesmen.For a time Elux salespeople who felt they were losing sales had a chance to work in Sams club demoing Elux.The Burgundy models were among best looking.There was also a Regency series in tan/light blue.

Thanks for the info Jimmy. I thought that mine was maybe an "oddball" of some sort. Makes sense that it was sold at Sam's Club. I vaguely remember Elux at Sam's when I was a kid.

Electrolux 2100

that I have is the Black and gray one. It is in mint condition, except it only turns on then off again. If you lay it on it's side and turn it on, it will run. Don't know what is wrong with it. I would take it to an Electrolux dealer for repair but we don't have any Aerus dealers in this state anymore... Any suggestions of what is wrong and how to fix it would be gladly accepted. Dan

Actually the colour of the first 2100 was called Jadestone (midnight blue) and grey. It was out in Canada at the same time as the last of the Siverados were out in the US and came with the PN5. The later version came with the PN6 then they changed the colours to Tuape (Brown) and grey (aka the system 90) and also brought out the maroon and grey special edition as a mall show promo item.

Incidentally the 2100 WAS the delux model in Canada. They tried selling the Grand Marquis and Legacy in Canada and they bombed. People here found them too heavy and clumsy. Hence the return to the Diplomat models. I was selling machines part time at that time and sold a couple dozen of the Ambassador models and only 1 Legacy - which the lady traded in 2 years later.

Hey Andre:

Just as an FYI. That brochure is way out on some of the dates and is missing about half the models. When it was put out I was asked about using my collection for the pictures but someone in the US overruled the Canadian office and put that abortion together. The guys in head office here were furious but they had no controll over it.

Doug

PS: I can post a listing of the actual models and dates if you like.

Hey Doug, the brochure goes back in 1995. the only purpose was to show the Electrolux 2100.
I have a more recent brochure dated in 2000.

That pretty much sums up the houshold cannister machines sold in Canada by Electrolux The only thing I could add is that the LX and E were also sold here briefly to test the market for the bag controll feature. The only difference being that the E was sold with the Canadian parts as the dual parts were considered to be "cheap" and only sold with the drop down model 54.
