Post by: patwoods on November 16, 2007, 04:59:41 pm
Hi Folks,
going to purchase a pro 10 soon for inside car showrooms(as some bosses have commented on the safety aspect and we like to keep one step ahead and they dont like to see me on a ladder any more)

YES me, I have used one and don't like it at all, it has two rubbers on the end of a vac cleaners ( just my view point ) however I am sure ionic wouldn't put it on the market if it didn't work!

Is it just me or in the reflection in the door is there  a brush head face down on the floor  ;D
Shame there's not a picture of the brush head on the Pro 10 so we can see how it recovers the used water.

Yes, no suprises there i'm sure.
But with some good marketing and targetting the right market, what a great potential it has to make you a vast sum of money.
Does it work by gravity or is there some suction involved where you could clean the insides of large atriums for hotels and restaurants or example?

I've seen one at one of the roadshows. It sucks back the water and recycles it like the van mount. I haven't got enough work inside to warrant having one but if they do a petrol portable which will open up a load of new possibilities then I'd go for it!

From memory at the cleaning show the Diesel version , doesnt have a brush just a hot wash spray and then a vac back. Its got sort of a pair of window cleaning squeegees about 1 1/2" apart. The carbon fibre goose neck elbow is very advanced, its bent !

I was just not convinced at all, it sprayed and sucked at the same time and used  rubber strips on the end, I personal didn't like it and wouldn't spend my money BUT than I dont have any need for it.
