Got it today, must say service was excellent, only ordered it at about 4pm yesterday along with some Blitz.
Had a little go with it this afternoon when the van came back, first impressions are very good, feels comfortable in the hand and with the swivel collar it's easy to handle, there's also a regulator on it for controlling the flow of solution over the plate, not sure if the old model had this on, I can't remember seeing it.
The larger sized head is also better, gives a good area coverage without being too bulky, similar in size to my old favorite 3.5" extracta tool, I found the original drimaster tool to be very long in the hand, awkward to handle and too narrow for my liking.
Harvey, who works for me as my main carpet cleaner, was well impressed with the fact that you're not spraying solution all over the place, I can see this being a big advantage when working on wood or laminate floors.
We've got some upholstery to do tomorrow afternoon, so it'll get put to the test then. Unfortunatley, we've only got one other suite booked in at the moment for Tuesday and I've only got it on a weeks trial, I may have to give the mother-in-law a freebie just to test it out properly on her coveted draylon Parker Knoll!!
As for the price, currently £349+vat which isn't too bad if it delivers the goods, ie: clean effectively, leaves the material drier and reduces the cleaning times. I'm let to believe that it uses more water than normal but that this is offset by the reduced time to clean, again, we'll test this theory out.
