Back in the day, floor conditioners were popular among Electrolux customers worldwide; however there is less online information about them than on vacuum cleaners, so I collated the attached online photos and data from online sales, Doug Smith's website http://smithcollection.altervista.org/index.html, the Digital Museum https://digitaltmuseum.se/search?q=golvbonare&n=50, and Lux France https://www.france-purification.com/10-cireuses-laveuses
AB Electrolux sometimes produced some models that were only carried in certain markets rather than in all countries, so the UK list may be less than
%; that is, some models may have not been sold there such as the B23. It seems that the B19 color-matched the TOL model ZC90 cylinder in Sage Green & Light Grey; the B21 went with the models Z100 & Z101 cylinders in Deep Sea Green & Light Grey; and the B23 coordinated with the model Z330 in Charcoal Grey & Light Grey. It may be that the B23 may have color-matches the models D710 & D720, but now I wonder if it went with Sweden's model Z324, Z325, & Z335 cylinders? Anyway, I found no other source than Lux France's list and the model list on the Menalux felt pads package. Electrolux Ltd. printed pamphlets of cylinder model production spans and features, so it is possible that one or more were printed on Floor Scrubbers, too. If someone has such a copy/copies please post scans of it/them.
As with other composites I have made this is a reference guide rather than an historical record, because it is largely based on observations, conversations speculations of collectors and enthusiasts rather than on company records. Updates invited.
Enjoy the exhibition.
