Duo agitator
« on: April 08, 2007, 11:10:10 am »
Has anyone used an Ashbys Duo Agitator, are they any good, and is there anything better out there?
Any advice would be appreciated.

After trying most of them out I have now settled on the Envirodry 40.

But beware that using it for wet aggitation invalidates the warrenty. >:(

Think you will find it’s a Sebo, not bad I use one! Granted there are others out there! Which may be better, cant keep spending my money on what’s the best or in fashion.  ;)

But as Paul points out warranty can be an issue not for the purpose,  ;D think there prices is a bit ott, :'(  had there brochure last week think in the region of £250 plus express cleaning supplies £199 plus or online with cleansmart supplies £180 plus. Go for the Ashby’s you don’t want to be considered as price shopper. :D

Thanks All.   Len - cheers for the inside track on prices - dont care if people think I'm a price shopper - haven't got money to burn this time of year :P Just upgrading kit and spending plenty with Ashbys so if they wont do a deal on one I will be surprised ;) G

Sebo Duo is fine - just remember to pull out all the hair and fibre regularly or you find large dirty lumps of it being spat out on the carpet in front of the client.  :-[

Fancy the EnviroDri machine, but would like to do a comparison first, so if there is any one in my neck of the woods willing to lend me one for the day (promise domestic only)  :)

When you say upgrading pray advise from what? 8)

If you are local to Dartford, give London cleaning supplies a bell.

Love barter even if I don’t spend a lot with a company, as one price shopper to another. :P


Mike

Web site price £189 plus ???

Davep

Possibly but don’t know is there?

Care with the fork, wife peeved when I gave it back to her bent. ;D

Trust me. Tried them all. The Envirodri is the best,but go for the bigger 40.
You will need both gold and white bushes.

Paul

It’s a lot of money to part with, then to find out it dose not suit you! Gold and white is that a service?

There has got to be some in my neck of the woods, who will lend me one for the day.

Chris

Nice one. :-X
