n.b., the Compact polisher works off the blower air, not the suction as do most air-powered attachments. If you connected it to the suction end it would not work. I will say, also, those Polish-Aires were hardly performance dynamos! They do spin at a pretty good clip but as soon as you touch them to a floor they slow down to nearly nothing, because there are no reduction gears to give any torque, and the friction against the floor all but completely stops the brushes from spinning.
