Mine looks very lightly used and comes with what looks like a new flexi drive board, have had a quick play but I havnt had chance to use it in anger yet, comes with manual and 90 day warranty.

It is a heavy beast of a machine, so taking it upstairs may be an issue.

I bought it as an agitator but the dual speed will mean I can do some hard floor scrubbing as well with it. I wondered what the catch was at that price? it appears there wasnt one!

I'm not surprised they have all sold. Brought my last one off ebay a right stinker, never worked properly. Hopefully this will be better

Post by: Aquakleen Restoration Services on August 17, 2011, 08:37:42 am: I got the penultimate last one. Just want to see if there is any difference between the rotary I got from Restormate (150 rpm) and this one? Might be handy to have the 400rpm option if Restormate ever do a hard floor cleaning course (hint hint John and Lynn)!! :o At under £150 inc postage you cant go wrong!!

Is this any good? Do you think I should go for it?

TIA

John
