Following are two groups of Electrolux canister models. Each group is represented by one machine photo on the Product History brochure. Please explain the Model IDs in the brackets below where it says Hi-Tech 2100 and Ambassador III. For instance, was there an actual machine called the Hi-Tech 2100 or was that just the name of the series? Please let me know when the Diplomat, Diplomat LX, Lux 5000, L-E, Model 90, Ambassador, and Ambassador Plus machines were manufactured. Also, were the machines in each group the same color and style?
I am trying to figure out information on the Electrolux/Aerus product history brochure (below) as far as the bracketed vacuum cleaners. Does anyone have specific years of manufacture for them? Am I correct that all the Hi-Techs were blue and all the Ambassador IIIs were lt. sand gray?
I will try to help out. Hi Tech 2100 was the first of the light weight bodied Canisters as well as the LE ( Limited Edition).April of 1984 the Hi tech 2100 and LE came out. In October the Diamond Jubilee came out. The Hi Tech 2100 was an automatic shut off canister and the LE was the drop down model with fewer features. Both had the same motor. Silverado was the current top line until 60th Annivesary model came out. I will get into my files and try and give you a more accurate time table on the the other models.
