One of the reasons we did not agitate long ago was that we used quite strong detergents in the tank,so quite a lot got put on the carpet with a decent pressure at short range. This enabled it to coat the fibres on the first pass. It then did not get rinsed.
Some of the stuff we used was recommended to be handled with gloves and face protection. And if you splashed it on paintwork it stripped it bare in seconds.
Now things are much more civilised and very much safer and better at cleaning.

aggitation..... years ago it was not a widely practiced thing and most of us that did it used rotarys on stinking pub , restaurants and clubs. A crb is far superior. I take great pride in what I do and use the best chemicals and methods that I can. Ok i do come accoss situation where I do not need a crb, any body that has one will realise the benefits if you have never used on you wont.
I have had so many people that have used the argument that their machine is powerfull and gets hot enough not to warrant it. This argument will stay with them until they work alongside you.
A crb with a good prespray will give you better results, save you a lot of money on spotters and you will not have to get on  your hands and knees any where near as often to spot. If you think a pile brush is any comparison to a host or envirodry then you are in cloud cookoo land. Yes a pile brush is better than nothing but better than somthing that costs 50 times the amount ???????????? 
The people that have moved to crb can talk from experience the peole with pile brushes can talk from a position of ignorance.

I'm with Peter on this one - in my short time cleaning carpets (7 months!) I've gone from a brush, to a sebo duo, to a CRB machine. I still use the sebo occasionally on relatively clean carpets, but generally the CRB comes out. Soon as you go over an area once or twice, you get an idea 95% accurate of whats going to come out (if it hasnt already just by agitation alone!), and whats going to need more attention. These machines are carpet cleaners in their own right - quite often people will comment "Are you done already?" before you've even put a wand down.

As it happens (and no, this was not the point of my post) I might have a CRB machine up for sale over the next few days  ;D . If anyone is interested, text me on 07830 021836 and I'll keep you posted.

They are brilliant, oh by the way I'm selling mine.

Sounds like they are good as those whole room driers.  ;D

I didn't say I'm selling mine, I said I'm selling A CRB (maybe).

Most people who've got one will tell you how good they are. If someone has one that they are selling because they don't get use out of it, I'd be genuinely surprised.


As for the driers, I've said in the past that I don't find them particularly effective (though I have kept one as they are useful for upholstery - but I certainly have no use or room for 2 of them)

Ash

I didn't know you had been selling a drier, it was a general observation. As for your a CRB I was just pulling your leg. They are great, I might even be interested.  ;D

No matter how much you vacuum a carpet, putting a crb on it you get so much crap out again. After a while of using a crb  you will realise: a crb that vacs as well will add yet another dimension to carpet cleaning.
The reason  that there is so much hype is because it works so well.  if you are not doing it you really are missing out on something. But you can still carry on telling yourself that you are doing everything right...........

And yet we live in a world where most people seem to be happy if you have something that mechanically wipes the carpet with a towel so long as the price is right.  :'(

On a really cruddy EOT I will usually CRB dry then vac, it gets a load of rubbish out, then prespray then CRB again. It is amazing how much comes out of the carpet before rinsing.

Ok

Can anyone recommend a good machine?, and is it worth spending more to get one with built in vac?
