Vintage 1969 Electrolux Z100 Luxomatic Vacuum Cleaner

Let's go back 50 years to a simpler time when things were built to last. This German made Electrolux vacuum cleaner is a near mint example with all the features a modern 60's housewife would want.

[@demurets]

The sound of that machine transported me to my seventies childhood and Mum doing the vacuuming. What a wonderful machine - quality all the way. Not like today's disposable ones.

[@gehal2009]

So nice to see this retro vacuum cleaner. Thanks so much Roger.

[@ethelryan257]

What a beautiful machine. I'm so glad you do vintage machines on your channel.

[@kristofferwesterlund2434]

Beautiful and lovely electrolux z100 👍👍👍👍💖💖💖💖

[@brandywell44]

We had Electrolux vacumn cleaners through the 60s,70s, 80s and into the 90s. They were superb and required very little maintenance other than emptying the cotton collection bag and new motor brushes on rare occasions they had worn out. Loved them, so it was nice to see this mint example. Thankyou Ibaisaic

In my family we even had Grundig colour t.v we bought in 1976 when I was 3 and working faultlessly until 1992. Has also same vacum cleaner since it was bought and it is one sturdy guy

[@a4andrei]

This is one gorgeous product. I know it will sound cliche but vintage products seem to have a personality to them. Modern things are sleeker but look more generic and dull.

[@paulillingworth1242]

Very stylish colour , shows doesn’t need 2300watts to be reasonably powerful

[@ladydawn1973Eternity]

darn right.. IT IS powerful enough without so much :)

[@YoumuHoover]

Absolutely beautiful electrolux. Really looks handsome with the vinyl cover

[@kristofferwesterlund2434]

I have a Volta U147 some I use every Friday to clean my home. Still going strong

[@davidgraham634]

We had that Electrolux here in Australia it sounds like the motor has been changed the popping noise is the Body sucking in from the motor powerful motor.amazing Machine 👍

[@ferdinandopalagi9989]

I hard This same vacuum cleaner it lasted for more than 20 years . It bridge me back in the time of the year 1970

[@KischteBier]

Packzettel = item liist/packaging list, 1 hose with handle, 1 straight tube, 1 combination tool/small, 1 combination floor tool, 1 crevice tool, 1 hose storage hook (never got a hold on one of these - it's basically what you find in some kitchen cabinets nowadays), 10 bags, 1 bag holder )inside unit). Z100 was sold from 1969 up to 1972/73, when Z320 was launched(new design, quite similar to your Z330). . Elux was actually making these in their factory in West-Berlin, near where Ufa-Studios were located. It's some sort of trendy office spot now. It was closed down at the end of the 70s, I think. Elux cleaners were sold door to door in Germany, and they cost a fortune. 465DM back in 1969 was a hefty price tag. They were rated well by German consumer reports. They didn't sell nearly as much as the top competitor Vorwerk who was unbeatable at the time with a market share up to 30%, but Elux cleaners had a good reputation for quality and reliability. I like them, although I find them cumbersome and lacking performance on carpets. I love these automatic floor nozzles for their design, but it was hard to keep them on the right angle.

[@Honeybearsphone]

That machine is in like brand new shape and quite beautiful, though I've always loved Electrolux so I could be biased, I really love excited and happy the ladies look about sound mundane things like changing a filter or bag you know they weren't probably that excited but told to be lol

[@gordonbitting1659]

Great machines I had a Z355 if only they made vacuums to this standard today

[@mje772003]

Reminds me of my Grandmother's red Volta vacuum cleaner and as a toddler in the late 70's thought it was a fire engine

[@electrolux333]

Brilliant find I am a electrolux vintage lover for decades now, cheers from New zealand well done

[@ChadQuick270W]

That’s a real beauty there. As you said, it looks brand new and obviously hasn’t been used much and was very well taken care of 👍

[@ladydawn1973Eternity]

I got the exact same machine! But ours is a machine his aunt had and since we got the house of course many things too and this vacum cleaner worked since early 1970's non stop NEVER been repaired. No modern one can work over 50 years eh? ::=).. It is real nice you got hold of one vntage condition. IT IS STURDY machine indeed standing the test of time

[@justmangaracer]

Please remember to disinfect any vacuum cleaners you order, including the box.

[@rickmiletic1376]

I just happened onto this video and it is every fantasy come true. I'm almost jealous. I am obsessed with Electrolux, simply because I have one donated to me by my mother and another by an elderly neighbor (hers was the BLUE TURQUOISE Automatic E 1956 - 1957), but nothing as pristine as what you have. Mom's was a 1960's era. They have outlasted every other vacuum I've tried (usually lighter or uprights) that I thought would be easier when I didn't feel like lugging around the bigger Electrolux. In the end the Electrolux wins. All the new brands (including new Electrolux's) die within a year. I still can't get over how new that looks, almost never used, and their designs were very cool. Sadly the new models are cheap plastic and motors always burn out. One fun fact that I saw in the brochure from my neighbor's model showed that opening the oven door with heat on, placing Electrolux on open door with suction hole pointing towards oven, and then using the blower feature to blow dry your hair with the warm air being sucked in from the oven. Anything for beauty. They used to have many independent stores in my city, but they all closed within last 20 years, so harder to get repairs or new/replacement attachments or bags. I hope when money gets good again (we're all struggling due to Covid), I have the luck of finding one so perfect like yours. Thank you for video, and Cheers! Stay safe! Really enjoyed.

[@luismiguelfontes]

I have two preferred vacuum cleaners: this electrolux model and the Nilfisk GM80. But particularly this electrolux transports me for my aunt house when I was a child and loved vacuum her house with this model. I remember it was very silent and had a quite strong suction if the bag was new. It is an elegance and beauty, very strong in construction and very resistent. They don’ t make vacuum cleaners like this anymore. My aunt still has and use it: it has more or less 50 years!

[@audreyfforbes-hamilton]

Beautifully preserved machine, love the colour - it’s the same as my front door!

[@Ilovevacuum79]

I think The British version is with cloth bag and different non-automatic floortool. This is europian model. In Scandinavia there is also a socket for motor brush. And I noticed also that our model is called Z100 automatic. Very nice vac in great shape!

[@paco3343]

Groovy sixties automatic cleaner! The UK list online states that it was manufactured from 1968-70. The cylinder color is listed as deep sea green with light grey and orange trim. In the States most Electrolux automatic cylinder (aka tank) users keep the dial set between 3 & 4; dialing it up for fine contaminants and lower for coarser ones-that is for special jobs such as basements, porches, and so forth. I'm guessing the Z100 was not designed in Sweden, as typically the Swedish designs sold in Germany would be given the 'G' model prefix (ZG100).

[@paulb4uk]

Great looking cleaner love the style of the early electrolux cleaners ,The electrolux my used to have was a ELECTROLUX 305 brown beige and orange .

[@unmea69l8er]

Used to sell one like that when working for Currys back in '69 and am sure the model was Z1000e or Z100e (the 'e' being for electronic as in the variable power/suction control) and, according to Electrolux, they used 'Acoustic Cladding' (the vinyl wrap) to help keep the machine quiet. The suction was really good and as a demo we'd put it suck end flat against a wall and it would stick there. The price was £59 1/2gns if I recall correctly. Btw I have a Hoover pen knife with IBAISAIC engraved on it from back in the day, it was given to me by a rep for selling the most Juniors that month..

[@rafaeldelazeri2233]

Man, thanks to you I've discovered that I am really really fanatic by vacuum cleaners, and I'm not alone in this! LOL Keep going with the channel and thank you!

[@elmiraflower]

Thanks for making this video, your videos are always relaxing to watch.

[@jamesheggie1854]

Roger you legend, I know it would be a struggle, but I'd love you too use this vacuum for a month. I'd be keen to see how it performs.

[@macraghnaill3553]

The body of the vacuum is very much like the ZA62 [late 50s] which also has the same crevice tool I have the ZA62 a very quiet machine and although only 450 watts, using a modern hose improves the suction to at least 700 watts [tested with a modern cleaner on what should be 800 watt setting and both picking up the same weight]

[@rachaelyeadon507]

My baby boy loves watching your videos 😍

[@westonnaylor3402]

Roger, I think the pre motor filter goes directly on the metal grate. I don’t think it goes in the bag cage. That’s why it looks odd.

[@TechStuff365]

Very similar one on gumtree right now entitled Electrolux Z330A Vintage vacuum cleaner and bags, £15.

[@paco3343]

Thanks for showing the manual. We, on this side of the pond, no longer have such well-pictured or -illustrated user manuals either. Also, our American Electroluxes never had a wand clip for the butterfly tool as your manual pictures. I believe, though, that it's an option on the Lux Guardian Platinum models C177A & C177B (Swiss-made) premium tank cleaner.

[@purparyumi-raimyura-2]

Vintage stuff were actually quite trendy and colorful lol

[@PGroenboldt]

On the envelope is written; "Invoice about Luseamatic (its misspelled) Vacuum Cleaner Fa. (abr for Company) Elektrolux" From the appearance of the writing it seems to be 70 - 80 ish. Greets!

[@IWishIDidntExist2333]

What a lovely machine!

[@jamesheggie1854]

Wow what a classic Electrolux Roger, she's a beauty. I know it would be a challenge and I know you've used a vintage upright vac as your vacuum of the month but what about using this beauty for a month??? I think it would be an interesting review.

[@phillfucke8747]

we had this exact same model in orange. we used it for the car several years ago but it went bang.

[@benjaminpoupard8374]

Hello magnifique z100 c est mon aspi préféré Super vidéo merci bien

[@prasadpushkar3191]

How nicely you have maintained and preserved it.. Any idea where could we get these in India.. I want such old vintage stuff!

[@dpugelj123]

Roger pleeeeeeeeeease do a comparison between the Sebo Felix and the Vorwerk VK200? Apparently the Felix was designed by former Vorwerk employees and I've never seen a side to side comparison between the two :) It would be a great video also because I think that the performance is even better with the Sebo at more than half the price of the Vorwerk.

[@VacMaster2020]

You know I think the old owner only used to carry handle when they were using it

[@cantliff9]

Hi Roger, the Google translate app has a feature where you can use the camera to read things in different languages. For experience what you should be able to do is pass the camera over the text you wish to read, and the app should translate it for you in the camera view

[@christianluts810]

My Mam had an almost identical Electrolux model [the bodywork was a different shade of green], as a child, one of the attachments which always fascinated me, and the use of which could not be explained, was an octagonal glass jar with screw on lid type of thing. I now know that it was an attachment for spraying paint. My question is, have you ever come accross such a thing and have you ever used it / do you know anybody who has? I wish I had kept the vacuum when he cleared out her stuff as I always remember that it was a good, powerful vac which would suck your slippers off! Edit: I should have watched to the end as you show the paint spray jar in the instruction book along with the radiator brush which we also had - although we had no radiators.

[@mcfrogner]

450 Dm in 1969 is roughly £800 today!

[@arnulfomrestrada]

I am trying to recover a Sweden made machine Z100. But it seems to let escape some air toward the end of the hose outlet that goes into the machine. Also it allows some air to escape at the entrance (final end that conects to the solid aluminium piece) do you know it is suppose to happen that way or it may be missing some rubers or which solution could you help me to apply..... Your video is priceless
