Thanks Jamie. I got the name wrong.

The red ones worked quite well but the solution did not froth up as much and I felt it was overwetting. I'll order some of the above for the next job. Thanks.

Get a set of diffusers for your drive discs while you are at it.

Which of those chems would you use in nursing home corridors. Synthetic carpets with lots of traffic and wheel chairs.

Did it 3 months ago with cimex and surround.  Looked amazing then but client complaining its very dirty looking so soon.

Im not sold on encap tbh.  The dirt is still there regardless.

vacing and not over wetting makes for a good job.

removing as much of the dry loose dirt then by not over wetting as carpet drys bottom up

[John Kelly]

In my opinion when a carpet is overloaded with soil it is preferable to extract it thoroughly. Then low moisture cleaning can take place at regular period afterwards.
All systems have their limitations and "horses for courses" should be the rule.

Or wet extract once a year and maintain with LM the rest of the year. Maintain being the word.

Hi Jamie do you know when the orbot mini will be out and have you got any idea what it will be price wise cheers. Del

[Paul Moss]

Del, Billy small blower has got the first order in as the full size h bot was too big for him to handle 

[bennymon]

No surprise there Paul lol

Hi Jamie do you know when the orbot mini will be out and have you got any idea what it will be price wise cheers. Del

Autumn I was told for the EU variant.

[Kevin OBrien]

HOS has entered a deal with Karcher to sell Orbots exclusively through the network of Karcher/Windsor distributors.

Found this on an American site.

[bennymon]

So would the mini be the same as fitting a sprayer to the oreck orbiter  or does it have anything els extra I mean I would clean a house with dry fusion but not with oreck and the mini is the same size as the oreck I think . Del

[Jamie Pearson]

It stands the same height as the normal orbot with a similar sized motor just smaller head and chassis width.

A lot of the parts are the same on oth machines so it will no ightweight.

We saw a pre-production prototype when they visited the UK a while back and the only difference now is the sprayborg attachment.

[bennymon]

May look pretty good to take in houses  any idea what the cost will be

[Jamie Pearson]

Not at the moment. I don't think it will be considerably less than the Orbot. It will use pretty much same components and assembly time. Only lower cost would be shipping as more of them can go on a pallet. If will be a bit like the Cimex CR38 & 48 different sizes but same price.

Don't quote me on this though as they haven't issued and EU price yet and I may be wrong.

When I know I will advise. We have an Orbot order with them at the moment and waiting to hear if a mini can be shipped with it.

Jamie are you considering importing?

Looks the part

[dan paton]

over a year ago I emailed Oreck here in the uk about the lowboy and they said it's only for sale in the usa . I did find a site selling them for $899 but once you added all the other costs involved including getting it to run on our voltage system. tax,import duty,p&p etc etc . it didn't seem worth the hassle.

[Mike Halliday]

I've got one

They are a required taste as they are not as easy to manoeuvre as a Normal rotary

[dan paton]

I managed to get a challenger and have fitted larger wheels so it can be pushed along and love it but before the large wheels were fitted it's as mike described. sometimes awkward to move especially if the floor is not quite level
