Newbie question I'm afraid guys, I've started to put together my wish list of kit to get me started, and researching machinery for cleaning low profile carpets. Would the floormac be suitable for low moisture cleaning or would I need something different?

Many thanks

The floormac is ideal for LM cleaning of stairs and bedrooms (where space is tight). It will also do the job well enough on large open spaces (ie lounge, hall etc) however it will take quite a while to do these open spaces, as the diameter of the floormac is not very large.. It would work well to get you into the method though, and as you get more cash behind you, then a larger rotary would be beneficial to cut down the time spent on the job.

Thanks Hector, that's exactly what I was hoping the feedback would be. Shall put it on the wish list, with the intention to upgrade when funds allow.

Lots of second hand 15inch rotaries for sell, would cost you about £100

If looking for a secondhand rotary, what am I actually looking for? Are there certain specifications that are more desirable?

Thanks for the advice guys, one other question if I may, could a floormac or rotary be used instead of a Sebo dual for dry cleaning natural floor coverings ie sisal and sea grass etc?

Probably could with brush attached but nowhere near as good as crb
