I've had this Sunbeam Floor Conditioner for YEARS, And it's been merrily scrubbing the tile for the past 50 years.

However, I went to once again scrub with glee, Only to be meet with no sign of life.

The last time I used this cleaner was last week, And it did sound as if slowing down, The poor thing's Carbon brushes must be gone. She's tarnished and dirty, but still got the job done well, every time.

I'll leave her in retirement, With a Hoover Floor-A-Matic to hopefully take her place.

But she Deserves a break from her years of service

I was sifting through eBay, saw this, and I thought of you and your Sunbeam. Maybe you could replace your Sunbeam with a Sunbeam :) 

While searching for a replacement, But I'll be more interested in the Hoover Floor-A-Matic.

Still, thanks.

-Alex.

Absolutely not. Not only would I NEVER sell such a close piece, You never even came trough on those Dyson parts.

-Alex.

Thanks, That made me smile

@HooverCelebrity-I thought they where discontinued DECADES ago, Not just 13 Years! Do you have any example of the newer models?

@GottahaveaHoover- I new you would chime in with that!

I was, However, Quite HAPPY with my SUNBEAM, But will be looking forward to the HOOVER Floor-A-Matic.

@1926700- We have an old Sunbeam mixer, just like the one pictured. It's an family heirloom, And sitting in the bottom of our Kitchen Cabinet.

You're right, but where would carbons even be found today? John Long, should you be reading this, I am happy with my HOOVER! The Sunbeam's replacement is a Penncrest polisher (the PenneyPolisher!!!!). It's scrubbing along fine in it's place until the Sunbeam returns from the grave (Errhhmm, The Barn!)

I love them too, the brand they smack on cheapo appliances is not the same. The MixMasters got UGLY!!!!! Not all of their stuff is junk, though. The only modern toaster I have is a Sunbeam, and it's not the worst toaster I've met!

From what I know, waxing is the process of applying a protective layer of wax to a hard floor. Polishing is the act of bringing this protective layer to a lovely shine.

That one of my military friends told me once!

So him and his crew were stationed in their barracks. Their officer walks in and tells them to wax the floors (likely in that typical drill sergeant style!). To wax the floors, they took the heavy-duty, military-grade blankets and used them to apply and buff the wax! Those floors SHINED!!!!! But they put the wax on Thick! He says he feels bad for the next person who has to buff those floors!

I have not, if I'm walking down an isle in Montgomery Ward and happen upon a set, looks like the Sunbeam will ride another day! If I get bored one day, I'll tear into it and poke around in it (it's sealed in plastic, chilling in the barn!)

Anyone who knows me knows I LOVE Montgomery Ward! So far I have a Wards Signature sewing machine, and a Wards Porta-Power!

Wards IS still around, at-least in a way. The original company and all their stores folded in 2001 (along with the beloved FANTOM!!). The name was purchased, and Wards is now an online vendor. I used to get catalogs in the mail from them, but now I don't know how to sign up for them! I DO get their emails, though!
