I would also be interested in any info on the orbot, especially if any one uses it for stone cleaning/ marble polishing.

Hello! I will try to give you my limited experience with the Orbot. I bought the Sprayborg here i n Germany in July and i am realy happy with my decision.

I used the machine on some hotel cleaning and office cleaning jobs. I realy like the onboard sprayer and cuts the time instead of prespraying with a pump up or electric sprayer. If i need some dwel time i spray and scrub with a tan floor pad or a microfiber pad with scrub stripes and go back a few minutes later with a dry microfiber pad or the SuperZorbs.

I always use two weight plates on each side on commercial jobs and feel i get faster better results than using the Hos without the plates. The big wheels make it easy to  go up- and downstairs. I don't have any problems climbing stairs.

Till now i used a rotary and have had back hurts after a few hundred sq metres  of cleaning carpet. The Orbot makes the  cleaning easier. I go in straight lines forward, then backwards.  I get very good results but have to learn more about using when  which pad or bonnet.

The bad point is the horrible price of the machine :o . Realy expensive...BUT i got some new jobs with the Hos and the machine paid itself. The Sprayborg looks very professionel and every client was very impressed.

Negative can be the changing of the solution bottles... sometimes very diffecult to screw the top with the hoses on the bottles  but not that big problem.

Till now i like the machine a lot. I get more and more commercial jobs cause the residential market is not big as yours in the UK.

I was interested in the Cimex...but i realy like to absorb some soil with bonnets and thats why i bought the Sprayborg.

Sorry for my mistakes when writing in english but i just wanted to give you my impression of the Orbot and realy can recommend buying this machine.
