yes, It'very tough and heavy of course. It has also a very interesting filter that can be shaken pushing a button hidden by the top handle grip front hanger. I haven't turned it on yet but It must be very quiet with a 425 watts motor...

I would guess these are pretty rare, I mean come on..a 1950s commercial Electrolux? don't see them often, hell ya don't see a 70s or 80s one that often (I don't anyway).

I could have sworn

I posted this pic yesterday but my posting seems to have gone into a cyperspace black hole. Trying again...

This is from a 1952 Canadian Electrolux instruction booklet - the Z55. So, the commercial Z33 model was also sold in Canada and presumably this would be 120v.

I think the hose in the machine shown above is a replacement - look how long the one is in the advertisement.

I'd give my left ... er, eyetooth for one of these!
