Picked up a nice little vintage Hoover floor scrubber. Model 5450 (says on metal plate) Has a rectangle top and retro pink. works like a champ. I was told by a appliance parts warehouse it was a model B... want to find floor scrubber brushes and polishing pads. I have been looking online and not having any luck'

Also does anyone know what year(s) they were made ? Thank you for any help.

Congratulations on your Hoover purchase. I wonder about it being a Model B others' models are typically 4-digit #s. In the last 30-35 years the model ids have letter prefixes (U for uprights; FA for floor machines, etc.)

Here is a partial list of model id codes and names for the various floor scrubbers/polishers/shampooers:

1940s: Models 0210s/Polisher (& Rug Cleaner)

1959-66: Model 3500s/Floor Washer (& Rug Cleaner w/Pick Up)

1962- ? : Models 5000s, 5100s/Polisher (& Rug Cleaner--"Mickey Mouse-style")

1962- ? : Models 5300s Shampooer ("Mickey Mouse-style")

1962- ? : Models 5400s/Shampoo-Polisher ("Mickey Mouse-style")

1980s: Model F2000s/Floor Polisher (& Rug Cleaner)

1980s: Model F4200s/Shampoo-Polisher

1980s: Model F4300s/FloorMAX Supreme

1967-1987: Model 3600s & F5000s/Floor-A-Matic (Scrubber & Shampooer w/Pick-up)

1987-2001: Scrub 'n' Vac (Scrubber & Shampooer w/Pick-up)

1994-1999: Models C3800s/SteamVac

I happened to find an ad that looks like yours (claimed to be from 1957 although I didn't see it anywhere on the ad itself)--Hoover vacuum cleaners out during that era also colored in "Heather Rose Pink" were: Model 85/Constellation (1956-57) and Model 65/Convertible (1957-59):

By the way, if the machine doesn't have a name plate (a metal label showing the model, watts, other specifications, & company info.) then the model may just be stamped on the bottom--in which case a magnifying glass may be helpful.

It has a metal plate attached model 5450. It's not the Mickey mouse style.the ad posted is very close. Will call the store mentioned. No luck on eBay.it's frustrating

Here are some sites based on a "Hoover 5450" online search:

www.appliancefactoryparts.com/vac... (scroll and search)

www.vacsite.com/en/hoover-1/hoove...

This store has brushes:

Best wishes--I hope you are able to buy the items you need and be able to put your Model 5450 to good use once again. Consider making a Youtube video of its actual use if you do.

P. S. Sorry my list isn't entirely accurate. It's a work in progress.

That model is pictured in the back of my 1957 model 65 owners manual along with a Hoover Iron, coffee pot, mixer and Hoover Pixie.

Manual listed on eBay

In case you're still around, I noticed that there's currently a manual for the model 5450 on eBay along with an Electrolux Model G manual.
