The price
I can't help but notice that with the Goblin 701, a sprayer and polisher was included as standard. If one was to require the polisher, the Goblin would have been significantly cheaper than the Electrolux was with the separate polisher attachment. Having noted this, I don't think the floor polisher was ever really desired by the consumer of the day, making the Electrolux the better and cheaper choice, realistically.
