Who in the UK sells these.
I have the Cleanfix Floormac but want something bigger.
Googled but get all USA sites.

The only one I know of john is the orbot . I managed to pick up a second hand challenger but they don't sell them in the uk any more . Stick a wanted add up for a challenger someone might have one they don't use.

What about the sprayborg from cleaning systems UK

[JandS]

At £2700 it's a non starter....

Tbh John I had one and they aren't as manoeuvrable as you think, they are considerably more heavy than your oreck very good on tiled floors though.

Shaun

are you talking about the sprayborg?

I quite fancy one. I have looked at the videos for hard floor cleaning. Is it really that good on hard floors?

OP=OverPriced.

Think Steve from Essex used to sell op machines

Osmo sell a wood orbiter http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtoiGEfUqfY looks like a crb to me

All carpet cleaning gear and chems are, nothing new.
But then again, everyone on here is on £1,111,000,010,010.50p a hour  

[Len Gribble]

And the tax man leaves you with .50p profit to invest on new equipment

At £2700 it's a non starter....

For that money it better be....

Tony I had a challenger thought it would be good for domestic carpet cleaning but it was too cumbersome.

Orbot wouldn't be my first choice for hard floor work.

It works well but a good quality rotary with the right pads/brushes will outperform.

It gets in quite a mess using it on floors too so looks a bit scabby when taking it into a carpet customers.

On carpet cleaning it performs really well but I would use it more for commercial maintenance jobs than domestic deep cleans.  It doesn't even compare to an Oreck/Floormac for size, productivity and ultimately price.

Take into consideration that the Orbot is priced similarly to a high end portable which would be used everyday to generate income. The orbot is built to run all day/every day (or night) this week alone I have used ours for 3 nights on my own cleaning about 5000m2 and earned way more than the initial investment.

There is another orbital floor machine called the Tomcat Edge. It is similar price to the Orbot.

There is a smaller version of the orbot coming at the end of the summer but no RRP as yet.

There is also another machine from another manufacturer in final development. It is also from US which will mean the price will be in the same ball park.

Use mine for commercial contract cleaning, paid for its self in first 3 months.

In this game at the top level there is not one or two systems that are suffice.

Thanks for your honest opinion very interesting as I was thinking of that machine.
