I took delivery of one of these last week, at £145 delivered you cant fall off! these 200/400 duos retail at over a grand inc VAT.

Mine looks very lightly used and comes with what looks like a new flexi drive board, have had a quick play but I havnt had chance to use it in anger yet, comes with manual and 90 day warranty.

It is a heavy beast of a machine, so taking it upstairs may be an issue.

I bought it as an agitator but the dual speed will mean I can do some hard floor scrubbing as well with it. I wondered what the catch was at that price? it appears there wasnt one!

I appreciate that this has probably been asked before, but would this be suitable for agitation when used at the lower speed? Generally I get on OK with a Sebo Duo, but with pub carpets etc would this be more effective??

Got mine from them last week aswell. Great condition rcd plug fitted, drive board and spare pad. seems to work ok but same for me not used properly as yet.
I'm not surprised they have all sold. Brought my last one off ebay a right stinker, never worked properly. Hopefully this will be better

I got the penultimate last one. Just want to see if there is any difference between the rotary I got from Restormate (150 rpm) and this one? Might be handy to have the 400rpm option if Restormate ever do a hard floor cleaning course (hint hint John and Lynn)!! :o At under £150 inc postage you cant go wrong!!

It seems the one I was going to be sent had a large crack in the base plate so the company has offered me a free upgrade to one of these instead... A Karcher BDS43

Is this any good? Do you think I should go for it?

TIA

Still a bargain if youre getting it for £145 delivered, the lower speed would be great for agitation, the solution tank is a bonus!
