There were actually several versions of the 2100. The first one was with the PN5 power nozzle and had the long crevice tool. The second one was with the PN6 power nozzle and had the clip on the exhaust cover for the small crevice tool and dusting brush. They both had light grey switches (the blue one is a replacement).
There was also a third version that came out several years later as a "special" sale machine (In your first picture above) that was black and grey instead of Jadestone and Grey. The System 90 and Special Edition were also 2100's. |

the 2100 that started out the thread was the newest and latest cleaner that came out maybe 5 years ago. I will look up the specs tomorrow. |

the 2100 illustrated that I said came out 5 years ago came out in 2001. Time passes by quickly for me these days and I do make a small error once in awhile but not enough to kill me. |

I think I can clear up some of this too. A lot of it deals with free trade and Electrolux being bought out.
To begin with the 2100 was a Canadian model. Up until "Free trade" came in Electrolux in Canada and the USA were operated as pretty much separate entities. Both with their own R & D divisions and factories that developed machines in accordance with the demands of their separate markets. They did, however, also share concepts. The E series machines were developed in Canada in 1982. Starting with the E2000 (which used a slightly modified version of the US PN4 dubbed the PN2000). It was replaced in 1985 by the 2100 with the PN5 and, subsequently in 1987 by the System 90. About this time was when "free trade" came into being. Electrolux closed the Canadian Factories and moved production to the US as a cost cutting measure. (Hence the Canadian style LE taking over from the US special model as the lower line) The S90 was replaced by the US Grand Marquis which proved to be a BIG mistake. The Canadian market HATED it. It was much heavier and more cumbersome than the previous Canadian made machines. Sales plummeted like never before. In a effort to recover their market the Diplomat was brought out and the recovery began. Throughout this time Electrolux went through several changes in hands, each of which resulted in more and more of the facilities being stripped away. This finally culminated in Aeris taking over and the design of these machines has not been changed since(Aside from colour) |

The dial is used to regulate when the machine shuts off depending on the type of dirt that is being vacuumed i.e. very course dirt or very fine dirt. Fine dirt will cause the pores of the bag to clog faster, thus cutting off suction and causing the bag full indicator to light and the machine to shut off.

Another reason for the "Hi-Tech" 2100 name was because it was, in part, a response to Hoover's digital wonder, the Sensotronic. |

The Epic 6000 SR had the steel wands and the regular plastic body hose. The Epic 6500 SR had the Plastic wands and the Gas pump handle hose.
As to all the different models based on the 2100 platform, you also had the 1205 which morphed into the Golden J, the Super J, etc. all of these used the control valve in the front door of the unit. The 2100 just moved the control valve to the top. Some of this I think is just like Ford coming out with the Edsel, they were the same model just a little different styling and name change and almost the same price. The LE (Limited Edition) didn't have a bag switch then later on it did, the motor had a thermostat but I don't think the thermostat was connected to anything. Another strip down model was the SE (Special Edition) like the Olympia Special edition (model 1453) didn't have a cord winder inside the body and was a shorter unit. It also didn't have the dial on the front door as well like the regular Olympia. |

This is the Olympia Special that I was talking about, this picture came from ebay.
There was also a Silverado version of this, they were both model 1453. As to the 1205 etc. 1205 and Golden Jubilee (also a 1205 or sometimes a 1210) used the same motor. The Super J, Olympia, Silverado, Marquise etc. used the Super J motor which the armature is about an inch longer than the 1205. If you open up the front of any one of these and take out the four screws you will see the control valve mounted sideways in the front driven by a gear from the control dial. They have used this valve since the later model 60's ( back then the knob just stuck out the bottom ( in the case of the 60 and 61) or the front ( in the case of the Automatic E, Automatic F or model G) |

Just noticed that I goofed in reply #46 (Regency Series 3500). This appears to be an economy model instead of an automatic. |

I got the information from hunting through the Electrolux Dealer website looking at all the different service manuals. Also I put the information in a spreadsheet as different models came in I would write down model # and name of the unit. One of the service manuals lists the Regency series as starting in 1988 or 1989.
BTW I have never seen a Regency 3500. I have yet to see a fish with glutin, it's like Jay Leno says "I never knew how tastey glutin was until I had glutin free" |

The model code is different then the model number that is on the machine. Example my 2004 Aerus Lux Classic Aerus Classic canister model code 546 the number in the machine C151D (if it's 2004 - 2008) C151G (2009 on) So if your typing 0219 for the Discovery Advantage the machine would have the number 1572E the person listing it wouldn't know that it was model code 0219 |

If you read what I said earlier on I was giving you the model #s I got at Electrolux. They tell me when it was sold, how much and what came with it. When some one tells me they paid a certain amount I have the model code tell me that info. |
