As usual Aerus is all wet. They have no clue what the Canadian Electrolux history is. Canada manufactured polishers then shampooers from about 1950 on. The first one was the BA5.
1950-1953 - BA5 1953-1957 - BX5 1957-1966? - BX10 shampooer 1966?-1968 - B20 1968-1973 - B21 1973-1976 - B22 1976-1978 - B23 1978-1982 - B28 1982-1985 - B50 1985-1987 - 2101 (Jadestone) 1987-1989 - 2101 (Taupe) and Special Edition 2101 (wine) past this all the machines were made in the US |

Actually you are wrong Christopher.
Electrolux Canada was never a subsidiary of Electrolux US. While they were owned by the same parent company they were both operated as totally separate entities. Some developments were shared between the companies just as they both used developments by Electrolux Sweden but they both had very individual identities. This ended in the late 1980's when a forced buy out of the companies ended up with them near bankruptcy and all of the Canadian manufacturing facilities were closed "to take advantage of the free trade agreement". This ended up only compounding the problem as the US design machines didn't sell well in Canada and sales dropped drastically. It ended up with the US design being dropped in favor of the previous Canadian design. |

Widetrack/2100 (close-up of hood): This 2100's information states that it was manufactured in the USA. I wonder if the 2100s were sold concurrently with the USA's Floor Beautifier and Floor Pro models, or if they were mainly sold in Canada? |

Oops--I goofed on the Widetrack's model #. It should be 2101. |

I was just noticing that no one has mentioned the elusive Model B-22J (see initial post of this thread). What's up with that? Also, re: reply #26 was 'Widetrack' a rebrand, or did it have a special design? |

Doug (or anyone in the know), there's a rug & shampoo kit for a BX10 currently listed on eBay. Is that compatible with a 20-series or 2101? |
