Title: Will this be any good as a spot clean machine?
Post by: Brook Campbell on January 08, 2014, 05:13:11 pm

Its called an escort but I think its a rebadged Karcher puzzi 100.
Picked it up the other day for £9.99 .
I will not have time to try it for a few days but would it work well enough for a spot cleaner? It came with 6 bottles of cleaner which I think will have to get thrown away buts its quite a tidy little machine.
Let me know if I am wasting my time and I will sell it on .
Thanks

Yep good spotting machine, ditch the shampoo though.

I was just thinking it would save pulling the big machine and hoses out of the van for the small spot jobs as I can not afford a decent one at the moment..
Thanks I will give it ago then.

It will probably have the same guts as a machine costing 40 times as much new.
A good buy.

The Escort was the old Karcher press an ex machine. Before the puzzi came out.
Check the VAC motor is not crusted up with dried up shampoo as these machines were mainly used for DIY don't imagine a lot of defoamer would be used.
Yes ok for a spotting machine. Agree with above dump the shampoo.
