They are already available in the UK and a lot cheaper if you know where to look.

Only difference is the HOS has a black plastic part on the handle to keep the heads at the right angle.

An introductory 10% is being offered Len.
I spoke with the importers of the mini machine a few months back then got involved with HOS and realised they had the same unit.
If its the small one you are after give me a call at the office and I will point you in the right direction.

 I had an op machine sold it to Ash White last year but I wasnt the first Nick sold the first ones on WOC probably 4-5 years ago he also made his own Borg may be 2 years ago but previous to that Mike Halliday had an Oreck Lo Boy a comercial OP machine and I bet that could be 5-6 years ago, I even remember when Cleantalk first started a US cleaner had a design how to make a standard rotary into an OP machine.

History Lesson Over.

There was an old guy called Robert Meldrum who imported a reciprocating machine from the States about ten years ago ..........unfortunately there were no encap products around at that time and it failed to perform as well as expected and was eventually binned .

Paul,

When I was buying it from Jeff he was in the process of phasing out the heat, however because I was going to all the trouble of importing I wanted everything with it.
Personally I always have the heat on (because I've got it) but I know nowadays the chemicals are so good and the machine agitates so well that you could get on fine without it .

I used Argosheen Jamie which I liked but it's been superseded since.

It was the machine that was poor being far too light and it vibrated like a manic " rabbit " or so I'm told.  ;D ;D
