We`ve been discussing the merits of these two cleaners over on Hooverland and I think they deserve a mention...In 1968 Electrolux UK brought out the Electrolux Z100, cylinder cleaner, 550w motor power, woven hose, wand & Flip-Over floor, a year later Hoover introduced their "latest" re-invented machine The Hoover Conquest 507, rated 675 motor watts....it was also put forward for a major design award....apparently the word on the street was that the judges where so horrified that it looked so similar to the Lux and nothing like the design of previous Hoover cleaners that it didnt get the award....there was such a "Holy Hu-Ha" about it that Hoover pulled out of and boycotted a major expo soon after, I`ve always wanted to compare these and now we can... Take a look and see what you think!! Heres the Electrolux Z100 |

Look virtually identical to me, lmao. Surprisingly immature reaction from Hoover though ;p maybe they should have stuck to Uprights. |

Oh but the Hoover does have cord rewind, a flipover tool, blower port and slim, lightweight construction. Whoops. |

my parents bought one of these in 1970 it worked very well but the first thing to go on it was the handle it wasnt up to the job next thing was the lugs on the hose end that fits into the cleaner and of course the turbo brush was little more than useless the handle eventualy broke off completely so my dad fitted the strap from a haversack it went on for years wish i still had it .i can remember my dad unpacking it and thinking wow thats diffrent it was good but not as good as the Electrolux
