Title: Spotting machine
Post by: cannon on July 08, 2013, 04:19:33 pm: Im looking for spotting machine recommendations.

I have some upholstery to clean in multiple locations within the same complex and dont fancy dragging the porty round, so i'm looking at getting a spotting machine.

Ive been looking at the karcher puzzis but i'm leaning toward the e-line sabrina I just think they look a bit better and a bit more professional.

Any others I should take a look at?

I bought an oldschool prochem spot-pro body from a cc in reading with (as it turned out) a rusty vac motor and u/s pump and just got the part numbers off the vac (2 stage) and pump from italy (ebay) and found new items online - its perfectly serviceable to all intents new and earned me its cost in first few weeks - previously I had used an old wet vac and then just used spray bottles of various things - now I just fill the pro-spot with microsplitter and go in with the little money-spinner 40 or 50 quid minimum - you know it makes sense and looks professional! The solution line is non-standard size but you just keep the hand tool with it

But that not the sort of machine for every day use, not good for upholstery, unless you are looking for the troubles with over wetting etc

I now use an Ashbys spotter with a built in steam boosted heater, not the most powerful vac in the world but the build quality and supplied hoses and tool make this machine very useful indeed.

Here is a vid of me using it on an office chair... http://youtu.be/vXTLQm3DlTc
