Nordan,

It is a machine with two contra-rotating brushes, designed orriginaly for brushing in granuals for VLM cleaning - a cheaper a more light-weight alternative to the Host machine.

It is very usefull for brushing in pre-sprays and for 'opening' pile prior to dry vacuum treatment.

If you consider getting one, I think Nicks' price is unbeatable.

John.

I got one at Amtech day.........great piece of kit 8)
Saves lots of brushing with carpet brush and very light to carry about ::)........at my age i need to think of the shoulders and the back :o
I use it on every job now and it does bring up loads of fluff for vacuuming, as well as lifting pile.

Have alook at the fibre dri machines in the prochem cat.
Imo due to cropped brush constuction,they are  better agitators than the host machine.They also do a suprisingly good job at lifting and collecting sand etc ,with the optional renovator boxes.
I saw an ex demo Tm4 model for sale today at Cleaning Systems UK 0800 163 555 (£845+vat)

I saw a sebo duo on Mick Halidays van and I'm sure he'll have had a good road test of it what do you think of it Mike?

I think he's selling it for £25 if you send him a PM 1st come 1st served.

Got one yesterday gone are the days of agitating with a pile brush, a friend used it first with micro splitting agent on a rank and I mean rank rug. He was so impressed he phoned Nick strait away and ordered one and the solutions.

For anyone whoms got a  duo don't forget to strip of the brushes every couple of weeks and clean out all the hairs thaty get trapped in the drive coupling ( I'm not talking about the hairs that collect in the teeth that keeps the brushes clean).

My Duo siezed up last week because of all the trapped hairs, luckily it did'nt burn out the motor.

keep an eye on it.

Mike

Ps to keep the brushes extra clean turn it upside down, turn it on & then push a fork into the brushes :o  you'll be amazed how much crap flies out!

Hi Guys

I would have to say that I clean mine at least once and sometimes twice a week.

Before I start another job I run the brushes on a piece of barrier matting I carry round to run off the loose fibres and general crap from the last job before putting it on to the next carpet to be cleaned.

I also leave the tray off at the end of the day to let the brushes dry.
