Be nice to these early plastic cans. Some of the material on these goes bad and just breaks apart.

Question about the Electrolux 2100

You might be a little off on the dates. I bought one for a gift in 2000 and I recieved one as a gift in 2001. The one I gave as a gift proved to be very durable and trouble free. It has taken several trips down the stairs with no damage. The hose was somewhat crushed but it still works. I was surprised that the plastic bodied Electrolux was that sturdy.

The one I recieved as a gift is new in the box.
They were sold on QVC for several years and the name on the top changed Electrolux to Lux.

Question about Electrolux 2100

My Electrolux 2100 looks just like the one picture at the start of the thread.
The new Lux Classic looks the same but different color. Mine did not come with 2 sets of wands but did have the floor brush.
I believe the new Lux Classic has the same motor as the new Lux Guardian according to their web site.

Rob, I think you are most likely correct on the dates. The ex bought a 2100 around that time and her cleaning 'lady' killed that one; just like she killed the Diamond Jubilee that I originally bought. Now she has something very much like the original DJ that she bought from a dealer....I think refurbished. No cleaning 'lady', so it's surviving well I suppose. Man, did she ever hate that 2100, especially for the $$!

Lux Classic

Has a generic floor brush instead of the more efficient floor brush or combo flip rug/floor tool (the last two I prefer more than the "Cheapo")

The floor brush shown on this pic is the Cheapo. Its OK but I'd rather use that one on walls & ceilings & the more efficient one for floors (MAJOR improvement of dust pick-up)

Floor brush

This brush is the better one; I don't know why Aerus doesn't include this style with the Classic.

btw I meant the one with friction lock elbow.

 

[floor-a-matic]

The best one. I dont know why Aerus won't offer this one or the one above as standard tools instead of the cheap one.

Production Dates

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly sure there were two 2100s. The first was the HI-TEC 2100 from the 1980s, which was successor to the Canadian model 2000. The second was from the early or mid 2000s. Unlike the Ambassador and similar base models, they both had the automatic controls and luxury electronic features.

<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: medium;">There were two; the one above is the "Hi-Tech" from the 80's; the 2nd one was sometime in the 2000's, I believe, and was a much darker color. If you want to get really technical, the dark red "Special Edition" is also a model 2100, although it doesn't say so on the outside; only on the inside of the bag door.

Later Electrolux 2100

Here is the later Electrolux 2100. I already had the better floor brush.

"Cheapo" Floor Brush

I actually kind of like the "cheapo" dedicated floor brush. It seems to have good airflow right around the whole nozzle, and its lighter weight than the combo nozzle.

I have both kinds of attachments.  In one place where I lived briefly everything was carpeted except for the kitchen and bathrooms.  At that time when I went to vacuum the kitchen I would detach the powernozzle and use the exclusive floor brush on the powernozzle wand.  Since then every house has not had any carpeting so the combination tool is ideal.  I can flip back and forth between area rugs and bare floors easily.  I don't have to contend with pet hair or tracked-in dirt, and some of my area rugs are more delicate, so I don't bother using a powernozzle at all.

You are all correct with the dates. The 2100 (Jadestone) originally was out from 1985 to 1987 (First with the PN5 then with the PN6). The System 90 (Taupe) 1987-1989 was also a model 2100 as was the Special Edition 2100(Burgundy) 1987-1989.

Around 2000 Aeris again brought it out as a cheap model but in a darker colour.

If memory serves me correctly you could also buy a 2100 through one of the points clubs (I think it was Esso) around 1990.

Which ever way you look at it they re used that machine a number of times.

Did any of the basic Luxes have headlight on PN & did all the basic models come with the "cheapo" floor brush?
