They are good machines and I have bought quite a few over the years for my contract cleaners to do daily spills.
Deliveries from the States have come into the country today so I have managed to get one for one of my new Residential home contracts.

I guess with the down turn in the job market that more and more people are now starting cleaning business and because these machines are so cheap its their first point of call.

This is exactly where we see them coming from Paul.

domestic cleaners and care homes.

We used to be dealers for them about 10 years ago  :-[ :-[ :-[

I forcasted the sign of the times a few years ago and its been late coming but believe me the next 2 years are going to get harder with lots and lots of new starters.

A recession.... NO

This is how things are now and will be for some time now so get used to it. :-[

I went to look at a van today, the 'man' who was wearing jogging bottoms with lets say a faded aztec style pattern (I am saying nothing, I'm not one for stereotyping) offered me a rug doctor, a red one.

He wanted me to test drive the van, I declined as not insured, he replied "thats ok, my neighbour is an ex copper, he see's this all the time".I still declined, my mind was made up when he told me the reason it crunched into 2nd is the fact it had a front end smack a few months ago and this pushed the engine slightly out of place?? His neighbour came out a couple of minutes later and asked him when he was going back to finish his carpets!!

A red one is rental right?? (not that I would have gone to the ATM if it was blue).
Needless to say I had read this topic yesterday and didn't buy the van. Goes without saying I didnt buy the RD.
Relevant...I dont know just my experience from today. :D :D

I'm sure there's a deep,  perhaps subtle message in there somewhere Paul but I'm damned if I can find it  ???

Red machines are for rental only. Check Rug Doctors listing on eBay about them.

NEVER buy a red one.

The reason they are average is that there is no pre spraying and agitation
when they start to hire a rake and an affordable pre spray,you can then see that the actual machine does a good job,
thats when you can start to s ;D ;D ;D yourself
