Title: Cimex CR38 Hard Floor Version
Post by: mark shannon on April 05, 2012, 05:59:30 pm: Was looking for a CR48 for carpets and came across this high rpm version so only for hard floors could be a bargain for someone? Comes with a set of brushes. Bought it before realising it was for hard floors seller understanding so giving them a plug.

If I remember correctly, the CR38 is 15", and the CR48 is the 17" (Or is it 19" I'm not sure..). I'm sure Jamie@CSUK can confirm this.

I've been keeping an eye on it, but haven't got the workload to justify the ££ just yet.

Look here page 6 bottom right.

I'm pretty sure Jamie is a dealer for them, might be worth asking him for a deal - I think he had an ex-demo one recently.

Post by: Jamie Pearson on April 09, 2012, 08:02:08 pm: I am back! The CR38 does come in 2 models. One at 400rpm and another at 600 rpm (mainly an export machine).

My advice would be consider exactly what you want to do with the machine as it is a lot of cash for one specific task.

The CR38 has the same size chassis, tank and motor as the CR48 but smaller brushes and the 400rpm performs better for cleaning and the faster for polishing works.

We find that modified HD's that we built in house are better.
