John, that Electrolux polisher is a great find. Does this one have the cord winder? They do an awesome job!! Did you get all the brushes and pads with it? Ben looks like a neat cat!! |

I so agree with you, John, about the Electrolux triple brush polishers and shampooers. The speed is just right, they are powerful and quiet and they don't fight with the carpet or floor...they tame it with gentle persuasion. :-) I've yet to see the later Electrolux version you have with the double chrome tube handle but I expect the cordwinder drum that straddles the motor, the transmission and helical gearing are essentially the same as the B 21 series with the folding handle...of which I have a few now. From the start they were brilliantly designed and engineered with clever touches like the solution tank trigger rods running down the handle, the integrated cordwinder, the splash guard and tray and on/off triggered by lowering the handle and the use of three brushes is simply inherently stable. Unlike those other Floorcare Guys' two brush models that try to run away from you or trip over themselves and tip over. Dave |
