NZ Electrolux machines

I don't know the model ID's, though I can make an educated guess. No I am not Erua's son, I am currently about the age that Erua's son is in that picture. (I am guessing that Erua's son is around 11-13)

That's why I thought it might be you, and I wanted to be sure to catch it if it had been.

It seems that many floor care appliance collectors and enthusiasts differ from their auto counterparts in knowing/relaying details. Nearly all of the auto vids I see are chock full of spec's and model spectrums, which I of course appreciate. Vac and shampooer/polisher videos and photos on the other hand often leave out most details including model/type IDs. There are exceptions, though, such as Scott (Old Crankman), Roger (isaibaic) and Sam (Beko1987).

Huh? I thought Isaibaic and Beko1987 were the same person???

Nope, two different Brits.

BTW, the picture of Erua's son is dated to 1998, when the machine was new.

Well, here is yet another NZ specific machine. The D746. This was the best model from '97 to '00. This model even had handle controls!

Interesting !!! Never knew this one existed. The main body looks like D720 - D745 parts but the upper body, especially at the handle and bag door, look like what would come later on the D820 basically skipping the whole D748 - D795 series style wise. Curious if they incorporated hand controls on a two wire electric hose? What a neat machine.

If you are inclined at some point, a NZ/OZ Quick Reference Electrolux Data Table(s) would be fun to see. I am so glad that you've brought your country's cleaners into view once again.

Btw, I wonder if it's time for you to begin a new NZ thread or create NZ model- or series-specific threads for easier future information retrieval and more focused discussions?

I might do that, probably after I have photos of info on everything.

Cheese wonton, it is a Bluetooth controller.

That's like an Intelligence Premium ! Does it use the Intelligence hose? One of these just rocketed to the top of my Holy Grail list.
