Is a victor wolf 15" slow speed rotary too big for agitating domestic carpets???

[AshWhite]

No

[*Hector*]

no

[Steven Butler]

Is that a no then?

[Steve Gunn]

Definite no

[Carpet Dawg]

depends on the area your cleaning. Would be a pain to use daily on residentials though.

I disagree Tony..

I use one daily on residentials   

[Carpet Dawg]

your a patient man 

more of a pain if you have to take that plus a hefty hwe machine out of the van < I've rephrased 

[*Hector*]

as I don't cart a hefty HWE machine about....

I'll give you that one

If you think about it, there are guys using DF machines in houses! they are 17 inch

[Steven Butler]

15" rotary v Oreck Orbitor. On domestic jobs only

[Paul Moss]

15 inch slow speed rotarty, i use one daily for aggitation on domestics. Oreck to slow for me.

[Steven Butler]

Cheers Paul, what would you say is a decent price for a 15" slow speed victor wolf in good condition??

[dan paton]

steven I got my victor wolf with driveplate on ebay for £60 but the guy was local and it was a bargain as I've seen them go for a lot more

[Steven Butler]

Dan do you use yours for agitating on domestic work?
Ive seen 1 local, looks in very good condition, with drive board, shampoo brush and scrubbing brush for £100.....??

[dan paton]

steven to be honest I don't use it much at all  . for a hundred quid that's more of a bargain than I got as the shampoo brush and scrubbing brushes are about 70+ quid each . i'd bite the guys hand off for that. from what I've heard the victor is a very reliable machine aswell .

[*Hector*]

it is a reliable machine, and I would bite his hand off too.

the only thing that I have found iffy in the victor is the ratchet for raising and lowering the handle can slip and and occasionally move freely.

Dan there is a cracking place to get pads etc from and to service the machine not too far from you in Basingstoke.

[dan paton]

what's the name of the place hector as there's only one place I know of in soton and I've found them quite pricy for some  stuff . cheers

[*Hector*]

Brushrite is the name... not got a link at the moment as their website has just been hacked.

[Tony Stewart]

Dan Hector is right (as always) Brushrite are brilliant for drive plates, shampoo scrubbers etc. Family owned and nothing too much trouble. I have a rotary but use my TM4 as it is easier. Lot more expensive though.
