depends on what you want it for, is it for scrubbing,polishing/buffing carpet cleaning.
do you want one with a vac or a water tank
or neither
i`ve managed to get three of mine from building renovations(the builders chucked them in the skip) they work perfectly and they are numatic ones about £450 each.
I also bought some of my stuff from other larger cleaning companies, I just phoned them and asked if they had any equipment they wanted to sell, I got alot a spare parts this way,
one company gave me a £1500 duplex floor cleaner it was in bits in a box i payed duplex to rebuild it cost me about £300 with a few new parts. you`ll be amzed how charitable your competitors can be, you just need plenty of cheek
