Those that I've bought from 'vac shops' may have replacement parts, or they may be entirely original, and who knows what might have occurred during shipping? I always keep these factors in mind when comparing machines. First of all, all of my machines are used, and of a certain age, and I have no idea what their usage history is, or whether they've ever been repaired, serviced, or refurbished in any way.

**Its difficult to compare the performance of different models, even though they may be quite similar or the same mechanically. After adding several Style R models to my collection, I don't really want to use anything else, other than the uprights. *The Style R design is, alas, no longer made, and I'm not sure why. This one is every bit as powerful and dependable as anything that followed it, and, as for looks. The Renaissance models are only between 15-18 years old, and that's not very old for an Electrolux, if you ask me. The Renaissance is both a highly useful and highly collectible model, as are most or all of the other Style R machines*. Its interesting to note that the Lux Guardian Ultra did away with the variable speed motor, handle power controls (except for the powered accessory switch), on-board/adjustable/recessed/latch fit attachments (is a little clip on the wand considered 'on-board'?), variable speed blow port, and the long cord.in short, most of the features of the Renaissance and subsequent Style R models. I'm sure there might be a few other firsts, which I'll think of later. The American Model G had two 'extra' static wheels, which were there to balance the machine when it was moved around. I may be wrong, but I don't think any other model had more than one handle. Since the hose must be connected to power the machine, the blow port has electrical contacts, and you can choose low, medium, or high speed for blowing.

Older models had, of course, the manual control dial.

the factory preset automatic bag full shutoff function.

In addition, no other model had such a long cord (28 feet, I believe, but I've never measured it).

the top mounted, pedal controlled cord rewind.

Older attachments slipped onto the outside of the hose or wand and were 'held in place' by friction, which meant that they could (and did) fall off in use. The elbows on the dusting brush and upholstery tool could be swiveled to four different positions, and the crevice tool collapsed for storage. Various other models, of course, had a clip on the top to store the combination dusting/upholstery tool and/or the 'baby' crevice tool, and the Epic 60 had the enlarged top cover with space for the dusting/upholstery tool and crevice tool, but the Renaissance was the first to store the attachments in their own, hideaway compartment, which contributed to the streamlined, bullet train styling of the machine. Previous models had a cord running from the power nozzle to the bottom of the sheath, and a static elbow.

power nozzle with direct connect, swivel elbow.

With the Renaissance, one set of wands could be used for both standard and powered attachments. Quite a few models came with an extra set of plastic accessory wands. Previous models had either the electric telescopic wand or 'sheath' wand, but the only sensible attachment these could be used with was the power nozzle. The late 70's/early 80's Canadian AP280 had a 2 speed motor, with the selector switch on the top of the vacuum.

Although some Canadian models from the late 60's to the mid 80's did have a trigger on the handle to control the power nozzle, and the near contemporaneous Epic 6500 featured a switch for the same purpose, no previous model had the main power control on the hose handle. It was the first ever Electrolux to feature:

It does have a replacement plug, but we can't have everything we want, I suppose.Д®lectrolux had never made a machine quite like this one before, or, as events turned out eventually, since. The Sidekick II that came with this machine is from the next Renaissance, the battleship gray C104H, as are the hose and wands, but they do match the bumper trim, so all is good.

I'm guessing, as far as the Sidekick goes, that this was the first model with the newly designed Sidekick II. This specimen came to me in excellent running and cosmetic condition, and with a full set of attachments (the Sidekick and floor brush aren't pictured here).
