I haven't, though that is an amazing idea!
I am getting some Electrolux machines from the incredibly generous TonyNZ, a Z40, Z328, D336 and a D735. I am also potentially getting a Z56, Za/Ze65, D735 and D740/D745 from someone in Christchurch who kept them in a corner of his home. I may not end up getting them, though I am hopeful.
Wow, you're really ending 2025 with buying bonanza! Congrats!
Thank you. I am going to give Tony a little something , that I won't state here so that it is an unknown to him, in appreciation.
That is just the Electrolux.
Between a week or so ago and February 2026, I am also getting lots of other machines. I will do a post in Feburary with some photos of around 25 machines.
On a different note, I have acquired a sprayer for my Z25. Now all I need is a moth sprayer, black crevice tool end dusting brush (they came in black or brown), manual, wide floor tool and moth crystals.
My NZ Electrolux collection has/will over the last few months expanded to a z25, za40, Z56, another Z56, ze65, another ZE65, z89, Z99,z328, z333, d338, d720, d336, d735, another d735, and another d735 no motor this time though and finally my d745. That is the vintage/classic style of Electrolux.
Here is my 6th post is a row on this thread, oh well. I just remembered a detail that someone complained to me about once. They said that the D735, the first model with electronic suction control, would turn on automatic, not maximum. You would have to select maximum. Apparently this was very annoying and difficult from someone who had multiple Electrolux machines over the years.
The Lux models I have with the automatic feature I generally just leave on automatic. One of the few vacuum makes I do this with and am satisfied with the results.
Their automatic setting is definitely good, though most people just want full. The tubes get crushed quite easily.
I have been up to visit Tony (he is very nice BTW), and I came back car a car full of vacuums. I have all sorts of stuff, but I will focus on E-lux here.
I have kindly been given the original box for a Z333, that I have fixed up with a bit of tape, a complete (except for manual) Z328, a ZA89, a Z99, a D336, a D735, a Z62 and more.
I have now got an example of the very rare hook for hanging the machine on the wall. I got a Z328 one from Tony, and Bought some D720 and Z333 stuff from trademe, resulting in me getting a Z333 on as well. I have also got a D338 manual, D725 manual, D735 brochure and more. Trademe has got me a D720 manual too! I will post photos in 1-3 days when the car is unpacked.
So, with the help of Tony and Trademe I can now proudly say that I own a complete, in-box Electrolux Z333 Cord-O-Matic vacuum cleaner with the optional extra turbinette turbo floor tool.
I now own 98 Electrolux Z62-D338 bags! Half of which I already had, the other half are in the car!
