I'm pretty excited with my last purchase, a ZB55 Elux from the 50's (see pictures).
The machine has pretty good succion at the front end for its 60 years or so of age, but the hose should be totally shot because I don't get any vacuum as soon as I connect the hose. I ran a long metal tube all the way in the hose and I can say it's not clogged at all. The cord is in poor condition, the outer layer is falling apart.
I have the original permanent bag, which looks like in pretty good shape. I'll see as soon as I clean it completely.
Considering I got it almost for free, I'm very satisfied with this machine. Now, I'd be very happy if I could find a good hose to actually do some cleaning with it.
