Hi, looking to buy another porty and always value opinions found here, so here goes :
i need a new porty, about 45cm cleaning width, pref around 40 litre tanks, with  floating cylindrical brush/es obviously the more powerful, up to a point, vac the better and MUST be able to have a wand attached for small area cleaning,

what comes to mind o sages ?

Hate to say it fella but your talking along the lines of a Rug Doctor here.

Now where did  I put my tin hat?

No brushes and it's a 95 litre capacity machine.

I have one available in excellent used condition.

Great for large area maintenance,

hehe, don't laugh too loud, but we actually DO have a rug doctor, and in some circumstances, with the right technique and chemicals, we get perfectly good results, but, along with a nilfisk a410 i was thinking more alomng the prochem lines,  does anyone regularly use a polaris with a wand ? interesting to hear comments,
many thanks

I have a customer who uses a Supernova Two Way for monthly hotel maintenance. They use the main machine for the corridors and the wand & handtool for rooms/stairs.

They have hgad the contract for 5 years so they must be doing something right.

Its spotless every time I have been in there.
