Title: best crb agitator
Post by: Adam P on March 04, 2012, 07:12:40 pm
looking at getting something better then my sebo for agitating domestic properties but wanted to know opinions on which is the best for money. i currently have a 17" rotary but want a crb machine.

i've seen enviridro, host reliant, and others.

as it's just for agitating and not dry cleaning which would be the best for how effective it is, how easy it is to carry around and use, and then also how good it looks. may sound silly but the rest of my van and equipment looks great quality and is all fitting a good style with what i put on them, like award winning style, so would like something to match the quality and not tacky view something like sebo gives off.

A rotowash is the dogs danglies, but very heavy. Thats what makes it work well.

my only concern with the R4 is how good are they for domestics? seem like a great machine (except the ugly looks) but big and therefor harder to manoeuvre?

Nevermind, I was going to say you can lend it for a day or 2, but you're probably a bit far for that.

As for manouveribility, they're easy to push around, its carrying from the van is when they're heavy - I've got a set of wheels for it which are really rare but so much easier. If you give me the asking price I'll throw them in.

Alternatley I've also got an R2 which I didn't really want to sell, and an R3 which is waiting for a new blade.

I must admit the best CRB machine I ever used was the carpetcleaner ones that Alltec and Nick used to sell they were really thorough but they rusted from inside to out.
