How much?
Used one on the NCCA course a few years back, not sure which one, I think the Espirit. To be honest it seemed like it was offering a solution that wasn't required. Certainly at the price they are new it is overkill, at the right price, if you do loads of upholstery it mat be worth a punt, if only for it's marketing value.
It basically does what a wrung out, frothed up sponge does, at well over 1000 x the cost.

I was going to buy one of these kits very heavy Looks the part but I declined to use. The person who was selling also did not use it much either. alot of money for what it is IMO a foam spray bottle & Scrub mitt I also use a DA polisher with cyclo pads (White).
-
birchmeier sprayer £50 incl vat, nice hand brush and some terry towels and a decent foaming shampoo, why pay all that money for a gimmick, I had an upholstery machine and sold it after using it once.
If I want mechanical agitation I have a cyclo and a rotowash.

Total agreement I have the same.

At the right price it is an excellent CRB agitation machine...in addition to the foam cleaning

David i would buy it at £50 mate as you could put it on your website telling your customers how you have invested in this machine to care for their fine fabrics/sofas etc I had one for a few years but dont do much upholstery nowadays although most come up very well indeed with a good .vac/pretreat soiled areas with pureclean /brush in/wait 5 mins then towel off/apply prochem shampoo by sponge and work in using no machine at all as per the videos shown on here...Regards Alan(sunny swindon)
