OK Hoover experts. I have started to go through the machines I got from that lovely lady in Aurora IL where I got the Hoover Floor Washers. This is a Hoover 5131 DI. The DI stands for "Double Insulated." I have a blue one and a tan one but I have never seen one in orange. This baby is absolutely brand new in the box! The box was open and it was stored in a damp basement, but a little Fantastik and she cleaned up beautifully. I plugged it in after taking the parts out of the plastic and fired it up and it purrs like a kitten. I agree with Charles Richard that these babies are not heavy enough to really polish the floor but it works great. Ok here is the question. I have never seen an orange Hoover. I know these things ran in packs but don't remember an orange convertible. Tom Anderson - any insights? (Yikes!! I need to wax the baseboard, don't I?)

5130 All Dolled Up
Here is one of the other polishers in the group, still in the box. The handle was missing so I took one off of another one I had. It has the regular brushes on, not the shampoo brushes. Notice how the skirt on the orange one rides lower. These, as Tom said were basically the bottom of the line. I do, however have the deluxe models as well. Better go line 'em up.

The pink one is the one I have back in Minnesota. I bought it at an estate sale. It might be slightly older than the orange one, as my parents' does not have Hoover on the plug, and my pink one does. | ||

Rear Shot - 5460
This machine had a separate dispenser (in addition to the large solution tank) attached to the back that you could pop off and use. Not sure what it would have been used for except for stronger solutions. You moved the supply tube based upon whether you were scrubbing floors or shampooing rugs. Also a set of wheels.
