Message: <blockquote data-quote="ronni" data-source="post: 311547" data-attributes="member: 1442">Updated Upright List by Body ColorsOne of the nice things about determining the era of Aerus/Electrolux machines is by their colors.  The door-to-door machines had the same color combinations--including domestic uprights, tanks, Sidekicks/Sidekick IIs/Sidekick IIIs, and shampooer/polishers.   The years of production are based on my observations and Aerus's product history chart, so they may not be entirely accurate but close.Also, I found some online photos of the Discovery Plus (note that there is no 'II' on the label).Key:*Commercial cleaners (no headlight):** Equipped with headlight+ Made in Canada & Assembled in the USA++Sold at fairs, in stores, in catalogs, or on QVC+++Made in Canada & Assembled in the USA; Sold at fairs, in stores, in catalogs, or on QVC(The hood color is listed first.)Sand/Jade--1986-1987:  Models 1500, 1500C, 1572E/Discovery II;  (Model?)/Discovery PlusDk.
