Shaun ,  I think they said on MB something like ...  the sprayborg sells well in general throughout the world but the domestic american market is very competitive now and they wanted a cut price version to give buyer who wouldnt stretch for the sprayborg the option .
Cost cutting involved things like a simpler steel frame insted of the sprayborgs aluminium ,   the tank is fixed on the vibe which may be a disadvantage depending .  There might be a few other differences but the working are similar i believe .
My price guess could be way off though , might end up 2.5-3k over here

I read it's 40lbs which is light for a op machine so is that good or bad for an all singing and dancing machine that's supposed to be good for polishing etc? The price on the us site is a good deal

They have gone the weight kit route ... same as the sprayborg ? so 80lbs with the kit on .  40lbs sounds good for generally hauling around .

Dek - the Klindex says 54kg - heavy for carpets - is that as standard or is that including removable weights do you know?

Hi Jase I read that about 54k also which is to heavy to get in and out of van on your own. But it is also described elsewhere as  light to carry ! Guess I will phone Kev after the concrete show has finished.

Says the weight is 43kg.....sounds a lot of money for something a rotary can do.

Impossible done straight away, miracles can take a little longer.

It's more thorough than a rotary I'm sure Mike H will add he has 2 OP machines.

I remember when OP machines first hit these shores, they looked like they been built in your garage and you had to have forearms like Popeye to control them.
