anyone got one ?. what is the build quality ?. and are they available now as i believe there was a supply problem with them.

Try Arthur "AshWhite" Daly Creighton..

He seems to have a limitless supply of that sort of thing

Don't you mean Terry 'Ash White' Tibbs



You don’t just jump into bed with Terry Tibbs, you take Terry Tibbs out to lunch, you wine and dine him, you give him an oil massage then he gives you 1950 if you’re lucky!"

The machines are available. Just not the Flexi5 variant as such.
There has been an addition of a roller front and back to keep them level and prevent digging in.
If I can help feel free to call 01334656787

I think that listing has been on there a long time Richard, old model..maybe JK will confirm?

Jamie what's the deal with the "new" machine then?  Direct drive?  Same design otherwise or just something totally different?

[John Kelly]

Thats a cached page which is either on your browser or floating around the ether somewhere.

[Jamie Pearson]

Its essentially the same machine. No direct drive. The rollers front an d back prevent it from digging in and loading up the machine too much. Still a great bit of a kit. I can supply if anyone would like one.

[Russ Chadd]

I can see my self buying one of these at some point... I always thought if my TM5 had a vac attached to it.. it would be perfect!

[creighton foyle]

i am thinking of buying one to replace my host but i am worried about the build quality. i had an all metal envirodri which i bought from shaun ashmore and that was great, sorry i sold it now.

[Simon Gerrard]

Just been speaking with Carpetgard who used to make the Flexi5. Apparently it was taken over by a Dutch company who got the new model made in China and they've had so many problems with it that they've disassociated themselves with it. Reliability and parts availability problems.

I wished I'd have kept that Creighton ah well!

It was always made by a Dutch company in China. It is the same company/manufacturer that makes a lot of Premier Products machinery. I spoke with them at Interclean and have the original brochure form Russell who used to be with Chemspec.

[Simon Gerrard]

I was going to sell my existing one and get the new one, but now I'm going to keep it.

If you're accustomed to pre-vaccing then you might be disappointed in the Flexi-5 vacuum machine as I use a Sebo BS36. But the Flexi-5 is a very good agitation machine, it's robust and built to last, which is better than I've heard about the Envirodri. I got mine through Chemspec, via a local supplier.

Brushes are interchangeable and I've removed the vac machine from it. Don't waste your time or money get the real deal.

[John Kelly]

The first Flexi 5 I sold was to a guy who had an Axminster in his living room. I did a demo at his house. He had just thoroughly vacuumed with  BS46. He wanted to see what additional muck the Flexi 5 could pull out. He was quite shocked and bought it there and then.

[steven Banks]

Can't comment on the Flexi 5 but, Used my Rotowash on a trashed carpet yesterday, customer walked in after using it and asked if i was finished as the carpet looked clean?

I would be lost without it.

Simon if you decide to sell your old 1 let me know I will buy it of you

Thanks
