I really think it has to do with Eureka Williams being bought by Swedish Electrolux SE in the summer of 1976. EW model designations changed a lot after the takeover. The standard 1960’s model groupings were dumped pretty much completely by Electrolux - for uprights and canisters.
I also think the 2000 uprights all had metal handles, whereas the later Electrolux 1400 and 1900 series had plastic handles. |
