I was just given an Electrolux model Z73 and I had to share it :) . This is the only one I've ever seen of this model. Does anyone have a picture that shows what other parts came with this machine or perhaps some of the other European commercial units. I have a model Z33 as well (I'll put its pic up tonight) Doug PS I think it was put out during the late 50's or early 60's but havnt got an actual date for it either.

Z74 in blue
Hi Doug great find. It was sold in the end of the sixties deep into the seventies. With your model the brown one, You could take of the electric cord. With the blue one this was a regular cord conected to the machine. It was not verry succesfull because of its weight and its price. I had a blue one and it came with the normal atachments all the luxes came over here in the same color as the machine. greetz | ||

well Ronni (it is a Z 74, not a Z75), however very little details change. First : model Z73, the cleanere at the origine of this post was from early to mi 70s, made i white/brown; model Z 74 was made until around 1984, model Z 75 was the last one made until 1989. they are all not only LARGE vacuum cleaners but also very powerful in terms of suction, airflow etc. as they used two large, quiet, powerful and "relaxed" vacuum motors creating enormous cleaning power. hoses, wands and tools larger in diameter made them useful for cleaning large surfaces and pick up larger debris. I used a Z 75 once and I was shocked at how powerful it was, though it wasn't certainly a cleaner I'd ever use at home, just because of its size. I hope my z 74 arrives soon so I can put it in good shape and share with you hopefully some good and detailed pictures!
Many greetings Tommy | ||

Well - I finally managed to get a set of wands for my Z73. Still need the floor brush, dusting brush and crevice tool. If I am right the crevice tool is the same colour as the small nozzle as the floor brush probably is but the dusting brush may have been either that colour or a grey. Any ideas anyone?

Here's a page from a 1969 Australian Automatic Floor Polisher manual advertising its commercial canister. (Current eBay listing):

Hi Santiago, that is a very nice Electrolux Z73 you were given. Shouldn't take much to put that back into mint condition. :-)
As for getting your hose repaired, Electrolux AB in North America won't be much help to you. They pulled out of North America in 2017, because their Hungarian made canisters were pretty much garbage quality - consumers were fed up with them, and so were dealers. This was also in a time when Miele was starting to wipe out A LOT of smaller canister vacuum brands, like Rowenta, Zelmer and Lindhaus - they simply found they couldn't compete with Miele's offerings for the quality of product they were offering at similar price points, so like Electrolux AB they pulled out entirely. What I would do is cut the hose material off the metal machine end and off the hose handle. Take both those pieces into a vac shop that repairs Shop Vacs, Commercial Canisters and commercial cleaning equipment. Since this was a commercial canister, the hose would be wider than average, and the average vac shop may not be able to source generic hose material in the same diameter, but a shop dealing with commercial equipment probably runs into this problem occasionally with commercial clients with older canisters - particularly those that would be used for factory work. Best of luck getting a decent hose for your Electrolux Z73 and the restoration! | ||
