From what I remember about using industrial-sized floor polishers, they were mighty ornery if not handled correctly. This contraption would put me through a wall!

Yeah, I know what you mean. The one time I ever tried to use one of those at the retail job I used to work, it really tried to take me for a ride in a clockwise arc--and that was with just a single head. That is one insane contraption by comparison.
Just a crazy thought, but I wonder if the three heads are all spinning in the same direction. I'm no physicist, but if, say the left and center heads were spinning clockwise and the right one was spinning counterclockwise at a somewhat higher speed, would it maybe balance things out a bit to bring that beast under better control? | ||

Wonder if that triplehead floor machine needs a 220V outlet!And think it would indeed,unsafe to try to operate that machine in heels!!!You need TRACTION to control the thing!On YouTube they show videos of folks "spin riding" floor machines-often with funny results-but could be DANGEROUS-those are NOT toys! | ||

Polisher This does look like three 3 brush Electrolux polishers for a total of 9 brushes.They are nothing like a 1 or even 2 brush polisher.They are well balanced and very easy to operate.This may not be such a bad idea to cover large areas faster(with or without high heels). | ||

 ~ Yes, I agree -- they most likely are Electrolux polishers. I'd love to know the story about this monstrosity!! | ||

Most likely the machine is off and she is just posing for the picture. Afterall, the company wanted the product to look this easy to use. High heels, a slick waxed floor and a mighty, fiesty machine is a recipe for disaster. Cool picture though. | ||

"feisty machine"?? What both Charles and I know from actual use is that the 3 brush Elux polisher is very easy to operate.The above triple wide may be no harder to use than 1 just as a double wide Eureka/Sanitaire upright is no harder to use than 1. | ||

They are very easy to maneuver. While the brush is revolving, lift up on the handle to move it one direction and push down to move it the other. Lower the handle to about waist height and clamp it in place. People don’t know to do that and without it you will have no control over the machine and it will take off and slam into the wall.
