Lot of money, even the brushes are expensive.
Go to www.drillbrush.com got 2 brushes from them
that attach to cordless power drill/screwdrivers and
do the same job.
Got mine Friday but haven't used them on the job yet.

Good to hear they are getting orders out now.
They had suffered from Hurricane Sandy.
Hopefully the UK stock arrived tail end of the week there when I was out.

I did look into this machine, its the same as what Autosmart sell, the only thing is no one could confirm if the pads you see in the picture could be removed and replaced with the brushes available for the orbot mini, good price even if it lasts for 12 months!

I use my cyclo to agitate pre sprays when cleaning large volumes of office chairs and automotive upholstery... the soils break down quicker and your extraction stage uses less water to flush out the separated soils.

I would buy one now before they are all bought up by someone. Otherwise you might have to wait till Nick starts selling them for £150.  ;D
