Oh Lordy, I luv the (1963?) Floor Washer. I have two of the yellow ones and would like a blue someday. Simple to set up and fun to use - it really does suck up the dirty water well. I had to cobble up a nozzle for one of them out of a floor brush nozzle but it works great. The other one has the nozzle but no brushes plate. :-( This video is from someone else and I think a member here. If anyone has a manual I bet it's Tom Anderson...

Missing Floor Washer nozzle and how I solved it.
Found the thread from late November 2007 when I went down to North Canton via Pennsylvania.

Now it's called the Electric Floor Washer-Dryer.
Yes, the warm motor exhaust is directed at the back of the nozzle path, so sure, it does blow the floor dry enough to walk on! I suppose in an effort to sell more of these clever contraptions, please, Hoover seized on this accidental feature...same as they did when it was realized the Constellation could float if they punched a hole in the base. :-) Ah, evolution and marketing - which came first?

The very reason I must like it so much...
Always have had a affinity for the oddballs. Speakin' of which, What about this crazy Hoover Windtunnel V2 twin path double layer counter rotating brushes contraption as a stand alone Power Nozzle? Well, that's my plan for it. The upper body is burnt toast - literally...all melted and stuff. But the foot is fine and the double florescent green brushes intriqued me. I had to take it apart before returning it to the dump. The brushes had been inserted LL/RR instead of LR/RL and were fouled by yards of carpet weft yarns. But the solid Motor & brush gear transmission is a thing of real engineering robustness. So as I got it cleaned up and running I had the brilliant idea of adapting it for use on any power hose. Stay tuned for Frankenschnozzle - it's ALIVE! Poor little misfit, nobody likes you. Sittin' in the garden eating worms, yum yum. Great big juicy ones, long slim slimy ones. Itsy bitsy, fuzzy wuzzy worms, yum yum. First ya bite the heads off, then ya s...oh never mind... Dave

A MANUAL!!!
Is that a manual, Mark? Sure, it's in French but if you have the time to color scan it we can translate. Is it lavishly illustrated, too? New In Box, with the waxed paper wrapping and cardboard separators, all shiny with no scuffs and not a speck of rust. That bag looks like it never held water. Double WOW! I may be wrong but I think Tom told me the Yellow was the first version followed by the Blue & White...and then it died in the marketplace. Say John, have you had your's out for a run around the kitchen floor yet? Dave | ||
