Rainbow E2 Black Question

[gagesrainbows96]

I was FINALLY able to purchase a Rainbow E2 Black!!! I got it on eBay for $985! It comes with the power nozzle, all standard attachments as well as the Super Mop! I have one question however, I’ve noticed that a lot of them have a little red light beside the hose hook up. The one I bought doesn’t have that. Are the older ones equipped with those and the newest models are not or is it the other way around? Attached are pictures of my machine.

the newer ones from late 2012 to present have the red light. older e2 blacks do not have the light. The older ones also have the center belt brush roll which is my opinion does not clean as well as the side serpentine belt.

I think 2012 was the first year for the E2 black , I'm betting electroluxxxx is correct. I bought mine new in late 2012 & it has the red light for letting you know the breaker needs to be reset ( unhooking the hose and reattaching it or turning off machine and the back on )

2011 was the first e2 black. How do I know this? Well I am a rainbow service tech after all haha
