Hi all,
I picked up a few more Electrolux machines today. First up, this Glider z1280. I got the hose for it, but no dusting tools. |

A bit of info, the Glider was originally launched in 1990 as a replacement for the z1055 and z1065 - the original last of the 500/Twin Turbo style cleaners. Electrolux have always had 2 ranges of uprights sold alongside eachother, an entry level and a higher end model with multiple versions of each. The Glider was no exception. When it was launched, it had 2 models - a basic white entry level model with 600w single speed, a blue twin speed model and a pink boost model with cord rewind. Originally sold alongside the 614 and 616 (both featured on-board tools), it first more alongside the Contour which arrived a year later. Both have the same handle design.
It also carries the ESP (Extra Suction Power) branding, which Electrolux used a lot from this line up onwards. |

Secondly, and I'm particularly pleased with this, a new in box Electrolux Dolphin z2230. This was bought from Northern Electric on 24/02/1992.

Congrats--both look like awesome machines! The Dolphin, to me, resembles Aerus's (Electrolux USA) Guardian cylinders. Do you know what the Z prefix on your models stands for? |
