Title: Aggitation - alternatives to Sebo Duo
Post by: wayne zabel on July 19, 2012, 07:10:25 pm
I currently use a Sebo for aggitation but I'm naffed off with it constantly being clogged up and having to clean it.

Can someone offer advice to alternatives to the Sebo and give ideas if costs of any alternatives.

Thanks
Wayne

I traded my Sebo duo for one of these.

Saves me a good 2 mins every morning and night.

I got fed up with the Sebo Duo too and have just upgraded to a Cleanfix Floormac (similar to Oreck) £320 + the dreaded, easy to use and does a much better job than Sebo and fraction of the cost of an Envirodri.

Wayne.. seriously... cleaning a duo is a pain??  I just don't get it when people say this ???

Right that's it the next time I use mine I'm going to video cleaning it, I reckon 90 seconds to clean it and pack it away in the van.

Just had a look at these on you tube - Do you use different pads/brushes to aggitate presprays than you you use to polish and buffer ect?

I dont always pre vac.Only vac on about 25% of jobs as I find most times clients have done it recently.

Does this make a difference to the aggitating process?

If you are truck mounted Wayne- prevac is a waste of time. Go for the Flexi or Envirodri

Small world - I do work for your brother at the other end of the UK from you from time to time. Not carpets but PW

Post by: Phil @ Extreme Clean on July 22, 2012, 11:09:26 am
when i had my sebo i just use to turn it on and hoover all the crap which was hardly any because i'd vacced before using the sebo.

Post by: wayne zabel on July 22, 2012, 01:12:32 pm
Most of the stuff I get in my Sebo is wool fibres,are you saying that if I vacced these wouldnt come out of the carpet?
Title: Re: Aggitation - alternatives to Sebo Duo
Post by: Phil @ Extreme Clean on July 22, 2012, 03:32:12 pm
Are you saying you Don't Vac ?i'm not saying you wont get fibres in the sebo but if you vac 1st then there won't be as much and also if you don't vac there be loads more crap to clog the sebo.
Title: Re: Aggitation - alternatives to Sebo Duo
