This one looks a bit more man-enough-for-the-job.

Given the context and limited customer base that I'm looking at, this machine at least looks tougher and more able to get the job done.

Anyone tried it?

It used to be called the Flexi 5 which is an excellent machine. I be tried encapping with it with limited results. Why not a hbot?

What makes you think the school & church market is bigger enough to base your business around?

Why not buy a portable extractor and be able to clean anything that is offered, you can still try for your niche market, the machines you have shown interest in have a very limited ability. they might clean  1 in a 100 carpets to an acceptable level.

You can buy a portable of ebay for under a grand

Hi Guys

I too think you would be better buying a smallish extractor .

I bought an Alltec Express, it has a twin vac and 135 psi pumps plus in tank and 2 in line heaters, so nice and warm.

It is light and will clean a wide range of carpets and upholstery and with tools would be about 2k

You then have the capability to do most jobs.

Cheers
