cost me £15, for that price I'll take a gamble ;)

this has a motorised brush head with a pump to get solution to the brush, I was thinking of scrubbing conservatory roofs or shop canopies.

but I think these were made for a specific cleaning task, just wondering what it is

Definately a good buy. I can think of any number of uses - it could scrub in all sorts of dirty little corners.

I put a bid of £50 and I was the only bidder so got it at the start price.

the only problem is its too big too post, so i have to pick it up, anyone know where Muckle Roe is? can't find it on google maps. I think its near Leeds

I thought the unspoken idea with Ebay was to bid as little as possible until the very end  ???

Vacman
If you not there at the very end.
What do you do then?

Well you DONT bid your full amount for one thing.

If you cant be around then get a friend to do it. Or download a 'sniper' tool.

Mike, this machine is usually used to scrub around toilets, hard floors etc where a floor scrubber is too big.
You can also scrub wall tiles etc, hope this helps.

As Andrew says. Also used to clean buses. Often see them advertised in the cleaning mags.
