seen that one shaun, paul at pj cleaning said he can get me one for £1300 all in so i'll go with him if i can't find a second hand one.

he sold that one mark, i offered £700 but he sold it for £800, just think for second hand thats a bit much, if it breaks in a few months theres no come backs.

more robust tony, i use the CRB on hard floors with strippers and the enviro doesn't like strippers, plastic starts to break off so your forever buying new panels. Hoping the TM4 will be a bit more tolerant to strippers.

I've had 2 and they are the best contra rotating cleaners by far but make sure you clean them out or they rot.

Shaun

Ps £1300 is a bargain

Would you not be better with a rotory and a black pad or brush when using strippers

depends what job i'm doing jim, if the floor is grooved or divetted then no IMO. flat floor then yes and i have a truvox for that, plus i will use the truvox in conjunction with the gen4, whatever it takes to get the job looking right. ;)

is it better than the flexi-5
Title: Re: TM4 Wanted
Post by: derek west on November 28, 2012, 08:14:56 pm
the flexi 5 has a vac pod on it, the TM4 does not. I've tried the flexi 5 and i would say its the same if your using them for prespray agitation. its the vac pod that puts me off the flexi 5, very cumbersome. but if you like the vac bit then i suppose the flexi 5 would be a better choice. 1 extra point, i wasn't impressed with the suction on the vac pod of the flexi 5 so thats the reason i would choose the TM4 over the flexi 5.

simon i think the TM4 price from paul is for TACCA members only.

Derek I wouldn't recommend using a TM4 for hard floor work.

Get a multiwash or rotowash cheap if you really want to use his method.

If you get a tynex brush and some honing powder your rotary performance will be superb.

Get a Multiwash 240 nice and manoeuvrable easy to lift where I have a 340 and it can be a ball ache (should have bought a 240 from Jamie but I had committed to another)
