this company have been around for some time and this machinw has evolved from a standard Envirodri or similar, I think it offers good value if used properly, in conjunction with good presprays, will give excellent results.

They started with a lightweight rotary at least 8 -10 years ago and IMO deserve success for their innovation, if nothing else.

I had the opportunity earlier this year to use one of the prototype machines. As such, it didn't look as well finished as the production machine in your photo.

In use, it was a nice, quiet well balanced machine to use. I liked it.

Safe and happy cleaning :)

The base looks very similar to my Envirodri.
Ken how did the vac work on it , was suction good? and were the brushes the same as the envirodri brushes?

Is the vac on this just suitable for dry compound cleaning or is it a wet vac, can you use this with normal pre-sprays i.e detergents, M/S colliods etc

These machines, as far as I'm aware, are only suitable for dry vaccing.

Suction? Not really. They appear to be dependent on air flow, the brushes "flicking" the soil into the airway. Bit like my Holloway Powerbrush (RIP).

Safe and happy vaccing :)

Thanks ken
I've still got my holloway powerbrush but it could do with some TLC

I guess the only way to get bits for it would be from minuteman in the US unless you have any other ideas
