Thank you so much, ronni! I just wish it came with the other pads so I would know. A few things: do you know if the buffing pads fit OVER the scrub brushes that I have? Or do I need the flatter brushes to attach the other pads? I know my mom had one just like this but green when I was growing...

I am so excited! I posted a few days ago asking about vintage floor polishers. I have been looking for one for years locally and never found one. Craigslist-no luck. I emailed someone on here about an electrolux one but didn't hear back. So yesterday I go to a thrift shop and find this General...

tools and shine So, vac-o-matic, these tools wouldn't be good to vacuum stairs or couches/chairs? Agh, sad. That's one of the reasons I got it. My Kirby 2000 (g6) weighs about a ton and I don't have attachments for it. Same with my Royal. I thought this would be better for the steps. They are...

Wow....this is amazing! So much good info to chew on. I will have my hands full doing my research. My next question is: which models are there available replacement pads for. I would hate to get all excited about and buy a really cool machine only to find out I can't get pads for it. When I...
