Always found brushing the hardest part of the job.
Must do a better job at getting the chems in and around aswell.

are so small you couldn't use one properly.
Bedrooms especially and landings.
Always keep the carpet brush handy.

For upstairs I usually use a Oreck Orbiter, as it is lighter to carry upstairs.

If you stick to domestic then a sebo duo should see you fine. If you plan of doing commercial or large areas then go for an Envirodri/Flexi or even a rotary.

Post by: Len Gribble on June 01, 2011, 08:33:13 pm: Only ever had two crb’s duo sold for £50quid nice little machine but a pain to clean, would have gone for the Envirodri but a lot on negatives re-warranty (not built for the purpose ;)) due to this upgraded to TM4 X 3 via ebay (good luck :o), cant comment on the oreck orbiter as methinks my standard 13” rotary would do the same job :). The Flexi 5 looks the part and doubles up vac/aggregates at the same time, but then I’ve got a dart ???

Post by: Jamie Pearson on June 01, 2011, 10:17:55 pm: I have a tm4 (one of the first Prochem sold) flexi5 and about half a dozen rotary machines that I use depending on the task.

SEBO is good but a little light weight. Does way more than a pile brush/rake tho.
