Is one better than the other for aggitation, lifting pile etc?

ian i have an envirodri and am really pleased with it. only thing is it is supplied with the standard white brushes and had to buy a set of gold soft brushes for domestics as the whites are bit harsh. think the host is lot more money

For me, the Envirodri has the edge on performance and a big lead on machine and brush cost.

The Host, being lighter, is easier to carry, more manouverable and can be used on stairs with the handle attached.

I've had a couple of each machines and if I had to go back to Host I'd still be happy to use it.

Safe and happy cleaning

Thanks Ken, as usual an answer that's right to the point. The reason I asked is that I have the chance of picking up a Host machine at a good price. But I didn't want to go down that road if the Envirodri was streets ahead in terms of performance. Thanks for your comments.

I like the prochem encap machine it looks good and also looks light and a pick up tray but it is very expensive for a bit of plastic.

Thats the problem with all these machines Shaun (IMO) They are all expensive for what is at the end of the day a plastic box, a motor and some brushes!

From memory of the cleaning show, I don't think the Prochem Encap machine has alternative brushes for different carpets/fibres, but I stand to be corrected. If I'm right, their excellent TM4 would turn out to be a much better buy (and it's probably the quietist of all these types of machine I've seen).

PS Ian, The host should be running pretty quietly too. If it's noisy I'd let it pass.

Thanks Ken, I'll check it out!
