Can only recommend what I've got which is the prochem Bravo.
Had mine 7 years just changed the pump which I think the frost got to

Hi we use the Aquarius pro valet ,great machine for spotting or small jobs. Had it for 2 years now.

Dont get a CFR spotting machine. Although powerful the hose is a nightmare as its a flexy consantina (if thats how you spell it). All lovely when just sitting there but the second you turn it on the hose wants to pull backwards to the machine all the time. So everytime you lift the handtool it physically pulls your hand back which is extremely annoying!

Cost me 300 or 400 quid and Ive used it about 6 times.

I'll give you a ton for it

How often do you think you will use it?

We use a spotter every 1-2 days. For that reason we invested in a Bravo (years ago) and  CFR more recently. In addition to spotting we use them frequently for upholstery cleans on single items in hotels and other commercials.

If it was only going to be out of the van 1-2 times a week I would go down the Aquarius/Hydromist Lite/Puzzi route.

cheers for the info,
it will only be used every now and again.. looks like the aquarius is a strong possibility unless anyone is selling one???

also the Aquarius/Hydromist Lite are the same machine, just differant colour and price?

dont want a puzzi 100 as its what all the hire companys hire out around here
