Hi guys,
Is anyone using one of these?
http://www.cleansmartsupplies.co.uk/acatalog/Oreck_Orbiter.html
I`v had it with the brush for agitating presprays.
I`v looked at the Sebo Duo :-\

Then for more money but more weight The Envirodri Dry.

your input appreciated as always.
Cheers,

I use the sebo duo and a Host T6. The Sebo is very light but if you need to get deep with weight the T6 is great. Both have conytra rotating brushes therefore no flick up from pre spray.

i use the environdri exceptional results compared to sebo duo

Me too great machine

Thanks for the replies guys.
So no one is using the Oreck?.
What is your favorite method for agitating?
the reason for asking is I`m going to invest quite a few quid
into my business and want to get things right.
Cheers
Rab ;)

Extracta Scrubba, aggitate and extract in one go
I had a play with a rotovac yesterday aswell and i definatly prefer the scrubba
-
Hmmmm, I must admit I prefer to agitate first then allow dwell time.
Food for thought.
Cheers.

if your using a machine all every day then the sebo duo wins hands down, it's so light it won't kill you! :o

power scrubbs do clean carpets very very well !
bit heavy, but they can be quick as mines 15" wide,
if you come accross a trashed carpet try a power scrubb ;)
-
Yes i use one have done for years its an excellent tool its head is weighted which helps i would recommend it to anyone, you can pick them up off ebay.

see my post in items for sale, under " garage clear out " with the brush the buffer is ideal ,,,, and fast for agitating
-
I use a Oreck Orbitor, great for small areas ( bathrooms & around beds, fantastic for stairs) they do a better job than the Sebo and last forever.
but... slow on large areas so I've started to carry my 17inch rotory with stiff scrubbing brush I use this on 80% of jobs and the Oreck on the other 20%.

Hi Mike,
you seem to be the only one using the Oreck,
Is it suitable for all types of carpets, I thought it might be a bit doggy on berbers and wool.
Do the brushs last?
Cheers
Rab.
Oh! thanks for all the input ;)
-
I use them for all carpet types, the brushes ( orange not the soft Black)tend to lean over so become less agressive with use, at firsts they judder all over the carpet.
I would not pay full price for one, I bought mine off ebay for £90.
the bonnet option is a nice advantage.

What brushes do you Envirodri users use?
-
i use the white and gold depending on the carpet fibre and state
-
Peter,
Whats involved in changing them over? How long does it take? Been thinking about the Envirodri for sometime, but never actually seen one in the flesh until the Woodbridge day yesterday. Serious bit of kit. ;)
-
Martin drop me an email if you want one might be able to help you out :D
-
Martin
very simple there are two long pins that are easily removed by just pulling out no nuts or bolts takes less then a minute. i think its a great bit of kit. pity you did not ask yesterday as i could have shown you and also the effect it has on carpets
-
Steve,
Thanks mate, will do. ;)
Peter,
Thanks for that. Yeah maybe I should have asked, but you but you know how it is at these meets, you never get to speak to, and do, as many things as you wish, as the time just flies. Would have been great to have seen a demo, but a guy there called Paul (can't remember his surname) showed me his :o (envirodri) and I could see from that alone just how much more effective it would be than a Duo.

glad you elaborated on what he showed you. i know what you mean about the time and not doing everything you wanted. as i was driving home i was kicking myself for not taking advantage of the situation more and i should have spoken to more people who was there as there was a wealth of knowledge to be tapped also to have looked at more vans and how they are kitted out but i was so gob smacked at one in particular . also trying to keep a reign on things took a lot of time though that went out of the window eventually oh well there will be other opportunities i dare say
-
I'm sure there will Peter, and thanks again for taking the time to organize the event. It was a good day. :) :)
