1964, Model G (tan)--most are in agreement that the copyright year had not been changed from the last edition of the aqua Model G manual, as general consensus is that the tan version debuted in 1967:

Thanks for your information, John. I thought that reply #13 was 1968, but I wasn't sure. I found most of the pics on eBay and just went by the years, if any, that were listed. As for the Olympia One, I thought you'd mentioned before that it debuted in April 1978. Also, somewhere I had read from another person on Vacuumland that the original Olympia One manual didn't have pics on the cover.

I'd hoped you'd offer information and am also hoping that you will be able to add to what I have posted so far.
Thanks again.

Thank you for posting these manual covers....being an Electrolux guy myself, I love looking at the different manuals through the years....I hope you don't mind me adding to your thread, but I have a manual I didn't see in your lineup, so to add to it, here is a cover from a 1950 Lux XXX manual.....

You're welcome for the thread, Charles and Steve. Glad you like it!

And, Steve, I'm glad you posted your own manual cover. Feel free to post more. I hope other do, too.


Here is the Model S "Special Model" (don't know the year for sure; am guessing that it was the only version which would make it 1957):

I wonder if the Model T had its own manual?

Thanks for the posts, Steve and Nicholas. I've never seen either one before!

I'm still confused as to why Electrolux used a bold wordmark (name without graphic--such as on the Grand Marquise manual), a roman wordmark (such as on the Ultralux manual) and the "boat-shaped" logo (such as on the Epic 6500 SR manual--see reply #29) at the same time. Until now, I'd thought that the first was used only on the commercially-sold machines, the second was used after the "boat-shaped" logo was dropped (which I don't think was ever the case now), and the last was used on the personally-sold machines--at least through the Model 1521s. I've taken for granted, though, that all the Model 1521s were sold door-to-door. Is this correct?


Post# 280807 , Reply# 37   5/16/2014 at 23:33 (3,631 days old) by tig21er (Indiana)        
All

steel bodied machines were sold door to door. That means the 1521 was sold door to door. The only cleaners not sold door to door were the Special Edition models and the models they sold in the stores for that short period.

As

far as the lettering was done, that was advertising, the company people in charge of giving change. Who really knows. The grunts that sell or sold wouldn't know.

Post# 283399 , Reply# 39   6/6/2014 at 00:32 (3,611 days old) by kevin (Livonia)        

Here is the 1953 version of the Electrolux Cleaner (Model XXX) Users' Home Maintenance Guide. Unless the scanner's colors were off, it appears that the only cover difference between the two are the black ink on the 1950 manual and the brown ink on the 1953 manual.

I find it interesting that the Model XXX basically had only two versions of its owner's manuals with slight revisions as attachments or styles changed. I have come to learn, though, that the Model XXX wasn't as long-running as I'd initially thought. It was manufactured from 1937-1941 and 1947-1954. In fact, those manufactured in 1947 and 1948 were built with repair parts from the prewar models. So, in essence, the Model XXXs production run was--including 1947 and 1948--11 years.

If my calculations (and Aerus's product history) are accurate that would give a tie to the Model L as longest production run at 15 years (1963-1978) along with the Model C134s, C154s, C170s, and C177s (Guardian series and Lux 9000s--1999-present), the Model C151s (Ultralux Commemorative Editions, Ultralux 2000s and Lux Classics) at (arguably, as some may say that the actual style hearkens back to the Hi-Tech 2100s which began in 1985) 13 years (2001-present), the Model 1676s/C101s (Ambassador IIIs and Lux 5000s) at 12 years (1989-2001), the Model 1521s (Diamond Jubilees, Marquises, Grand Marquises, Legacys, Ultraluxes, Ultralux LXs, and Ultralux Classics) at 10 years (1984-1994), the Model 1718s, 1762s, and C102s (Epic Series--6000 SR, 6500 SR, and 8000 SR) at 10 years (1992-2002), the C153s (Lux Legacy series and Lux 7000s) at 10 years (2004-present), and the Model C141s (2100s and Lux 5500s) at 7 years. (Incidentally, in any given era over the last 20 or so years--ever since the model ids with letters and three digits replaced the four-digit ones--the highest numeric model ids signified the premium models, the next highest went with the medium models, and the last highest went with the minimum models.)

and styles may remain the same , it's what minor changes are made that changes. Some we see , some we don't. The same as a car or anything else that is produced. Every change is to improve the product.

reply 2 is a late model LX not a LXI


Also I don't think I've ever seen an Electrolux Caboodle or the manual for it

Thanks for the information, Tom and Ray.

Ray, I'd thought about that manual cover being a late LX but hadn't gone back to look carefully. Good eye! Thanks for the clarification. The fact that the LXI was only manufactured for less than a year would make it likely that there was no manual made for it. Maybe someone else knows for sure?

Re: Reply #24

I found out that the Model B-9/Floor Beautifier was made in two colors: 2-Tone Gray to match the Model 1505/Silverado and gray Model 1453/Deluxe Special and Sand/Jade (that went with the featured manual cover) to match the Model 1521/Diamond Jubilee and the sand/jade Model 1453/Deluxe Special.

So the featured manual would have been printed circa 1984-85.

Yep,,that proves it! I once asked an old old Electrolux salesman who had been selling at least 50 years, what was meant by Electrolux "DELUXE" vacuum cleaner. He said the "Deluxe" means WITH POWER NOZZLE.

Evidently left over term from the days of the Model A/E and forward where the PN was an optional attachment and was sold seperate from the machine,,and the PN, and/or PN hose didnt come in the same box.

I remember a lady down the street from us in the early 1970s that had a 1205 with no PN. Just the standard hose, wands and flip over floor/rug tool.

I remember thinking that was odd. Didnt understand they probablly couldnt afford the PN and PN hose.

Re: Reply No. 7

First, the tan Model G was introduced in 1966. Some NOS aqua ones may still have been sold in the beginning of 1967.

Second, there was at least one change to the cover of the tan Model's user guide, because the wand was changed. The first style matched the one used with the aqua Model G, which had the metal top. The second style had a plastic top, which was also used on the first iteration of the Model 1205.

I am reposting the first version that you posted in reply 7 for easier comparison with the second version. I'm not sure when the change was made, because the copyright on the inside hadn't been changed since the 1964 edition of the aqua Model G's manual cover.
