NZ Electrolux machines

My 1986 electrolux d720 has a ze3 that matches it? Does this mean it was tested in NZ?

I have a new electrolux. It is a 1934 electrolux z25 with almost everything present. I just need a sprayer and a 14-inch floor brush. Here are some photos.

Here is an old ad showing a volta red devil, and I will attach images of my Husqvarna in as found condition! Interistingly the volta machines with onboard tools have a door that opens in the opposite direction to usual

It may be that the ZE3 was introduced and/or tested in NZ, but it may also have appeared at the same time in other markets such as the UK. Since the French market had the ZE34, it must have delayed introducing the ZE3. It's unfortunate that no one that lives in most of those other countries contributes to this forum.

Congratulations on obtaining a Z25 from 1934. I hope you are able to get a sprayer for it.

Your ad for the Volta Red Devil failed to upload, so please try to do so again. Attached is a partial 1985 ad of the Volta Red Devil models U229 and U239 electronic (the full slogan is offensive to me, so I cropped it).

Attached is an online photo of the Volta U268, which is quite similar to the Husqvarna (there were no other photos).

Completely different from what was sold in the US and I believe also Canada as the Viking Huskvarna V720. Here is an image of one from the internet ( haven't cleaned mine up yet so no photos of mine )

I have seen a few different husqvarna's. There may be more though. I have seen a red q26k0 with no onboard tools or suction control, just the most basic machine possible. There is my one that has a two speed motor and on-board tools. I have seen a dark green one with a turbo button and a suction slider with on board-tools. Then there is the smoked gray sort of colour machine with turbo boost, suction control slider, large turbo tool and on-board tools. I am not sure what the link is. The after market dustbag packets said for Electrolux, qualcraft, Husqvarna and volta. I am not sure what the link is. I am getting another 775, I got rid of my first one as it started to sound horrible. I am also getting the shampooer for a 745 with some other bits and bobs for Electrolux machines. I will update you all when I get that stuff. I got a funny story from the man I picked a 745 with all it's tools and the matching ze3. He said that in the 1930s the Electrolux man came round and putting dirt all over their rug before realizing they had no electricity. He had to use the ewbank sweeper to clean it up. I would love to get a 746 someday. They seem quite rare.
