If you are getting a prochem spotter get the bravo,i was told the other prochem spotter was a waste of money and that was from somebody from prochem.

Kev my spotting machine gets used about 8 times a year. My advice would be to get a good second hand one at a reasonable price as im sure most will agree they dont get that much use.

The small spray extraction Numatics (same manufacturer as the Henry) look very good value for money to have as a separate spotting machine.

Cheers so far lads.

The Prochem Pro Spooter does look a bit small actually so the Bravo is looking quite good now. Although the CFR is better for transporting and has an extendable hose with storage, rather than a seperate one which has to be lugged about.

I actually do quite a lot of spot cleans in custy's houses for retailers so use it quite a lot, hence looking for a new one. I used to have the numatic spotter which was quite good, I was just after a bit more power  :P

Keep it coming

I like my Ashby's spotter. Use it probably about once or twice a week. looks so much more professional (and just plain easier) to take in when dealing with a small stain rather than lugging big porty in.

My only complaint is that as it is on free running wheels it's great for moving around on the job but I have to make sure it is wedged in when in the back of the van to stop it wheeling around, falling over and spilling it's contents!

Anybody know a good carpet cleaner for cleaning the damp carpet in the back of my van?!?

I have had different spotters in the past and they are a lot of money for what they are.There is a Karcher Puzzi 200  for sale on ebay which IMO is better than any spotting machine i have seen ,and  is ideal for spotting (twin vac)  save yourself some money.

I,d go for one of the numatics,either the CTD 572 or 902 both come with carpet and upholstery wands and twin vacs which may get you out the the poo if you have an on job breakdown. ;)

I've gone for the CFR in the end. I wanted something small to get in and out quickly as I do a lot of spot cleans, rather than a back up.

Appreciate all the comments though ;D
