That's probably why I haven't got one then. I tend only to use the rotary on commercial or empty EOT, I find it to big to take in to a customers home so usually just stick to the floormac or crb.
Might not be worth buying the brush, I might get a smaller victor and get the brush with that.

I have a 15 inch rotary with a few brushes and drive plate, also a 17 inch rotary with just a drive plate. Both go into customers houses, though not necessarily at the same time, and both are used for commercial also.
Everyday this forum slips further from God.  :'(

Might give it a go but it just seems to big, especially when working around furniture. Do they do a 13 inch victor?

Exactly Neil, Victor do an 11" which is perfect  8)

I also looked at the Dragonfly & Truvox Orbis Compact, nice machines too. They are all about the 800 mark, so a good 2nd hand one well looked after is the way to go. I picked up a nearly new mint condition Sprite 300, with pin driveboard, plastic (oreck type) stud driveboard and loads of pads for £290. Then just bought the shampoo brush.

I'll have a look into it that Kev, cheers. TBH victor rotaries are workhorses, if I can pick one up for anything near the price I paid for my 15" (£51) then it can't be bad!
