Very nice Electrolux ZB88 you found there! Looks like it's former owner took good care of it.
First of all, as for a replacement hose, there is no aftermarket, generic or genuine replacement hoses being made presently for the Electrolux 80-series canisters. You will have to call a few Aerus dealers across Canada & ask around if they have any spare hoses they can sell. And be sure to specify you ONLY want a vinyl hose, if you get another cloth hose it will only be a matter of time before it leaks like your present hose. Your next option would be to take the hose to a local vac shop, have them gut the hose material from both ends, & use rubber cuffs & new vinyl hose material to make you a new hose. As for the bag cover not closing completely, that gap you are experiencing is normal & nothing to worry about. Every 86, 88 or 89 I have ever owned has been like this. And you also say you have strong suction, so you should have no problems once you get yourself a new hose. Rob | ||

Stunning machine! And the color is very attractive. I hope soon to be able to share how I resealed woven hoses without latex and a successful way to apply the sealing material so all inside surfaces are coated. Do not get rid of that hose! I have at lease 8 hoses I would like to re-seal. | ||
