Electrolux UK - US - CA Cylinder/Tank Vacs Exhibition - 1949-2025

[paul]

Electrolux UK (1921), US (1924), & CA (1931) online photos & information collected, organized, and posted here as a guide rather than as an historical record. A limited amount of company literature was available to me as a resource; instead the information is largely from observation, conversation and speculation—others' and mine. Updates invited.

This post represents two combined projects compiled over time—features data and photos, so their alignment is less than %.

The one I haven't seen yet is the Z457 and its German Electrolux siblings.

A relevant and interesting couple of pages from the UK eBay site.

I have a couple weird ones I'll show soon. The cleaner you have marked as a red z55 is a Godfrey's rebuild Aussie only z40. Originally sold in the same skin as a UK 55.

There was also the ZC89, which looks like the 90 but has one rear button on the back and no cord winder. These were made in UK and in Mexico for the Mexican market. Also seen some Luxes branded as Kenmore south of the border...
