It's not expensive, you just can't afford it.

There's not alot over here the cost and also the 'electric mark' which has to be given have all been a problem, Oreck orbitors seem to be the order of the day but I never liked mine it just shook everywhere, Solutions Uk did bring over the Challenger and also did make their own version which looks like an Orbot but weighs a ton! but a good friend of mine has one and he loves it.

If you are planning to bring any over here please let me know.

PS used the smallest Argonaut but that was too light and quite uncontrollable would have like to try a bigger model, a company called Dry Fusion did have a vibrating plate which was for stair which I believe was of Italian make.

I only know one name on you list that being Cimex who at one time were based in St Mary’s Cray.  Years ago did use one of carpetmonsters (Steve) machine not that impressed (now the standard rotary/DF system very impressed with the right cleaning agents)

On some of my sites I just get away with a pump up sprayer and the ringer bucket has to stay on the hard floors at ether end of the buildings, but it dose look impressive bit of kit
