    Need help Electrolux B8 swirls in wax

    It says on the wax thats its good for all wood surfaces and even composite floors. If we couldn't wax would floors everyone would have to refinish them every couple years. The gloss always fades from wear. Even when I was in high-school they polished the gym floors several times a year.

    I want to buy a hardwood floor polisher but need advice

    I finally found a B8 on ebay that didn't look worn out, and it actually matches my Electrolux canister. The only thing is the owner decided to break up all the parts, I emailed her and she said she would consider taking an offer on everything, but she separated everything to "maximize her...

    I want to buy a hardwood floor polisher but need advice

    Ok so this really seems like the way to go. One last question what is the difference between the B series polishers is the 7 not as good as the 8, is the 9 better than all of them? Or is it just colors?

    I want to buy a hardwood floor polisher but need advice

    Ok, last question. I want to use Johnsons paste wax on the floor. I use it on my shopsmith and a few other things in the house and what I've noticed is it seems to be hard wearing and leaves a good shine. Is there something better? How would I apply it with the B8 I'm guessing wool pads? Does it...

    Question about Hoover Decade 80 Brush Roll

    I used a new old stock Hoover convertible belt, and an aftermarket set of 2 belts from Walmart. I agree with you guys the brush maybe bowed, I will try to check again tomorrow. I'm not sure what the previous owner did but the fan was destroyed when I found the vacuum. So maybe they damaged the...
