I should have bought a Cimex years ago. I can do the same work with a 175 with solution tank and shower feed. Yet the Cimex is easier, faster, and more consistent.
Not practical for my market. I've got the use of one any time I need it, but I don't need it.

Buy a Dwell..
I know you don't NEED it...but just buy it and then sell off one of your Ninjas of whatever you're running with. This way you actually spend the excess money and find a janitor guy to buy your ninja for cash...the queen won't find out.

I have both cimex and brush pro crb. I recommend the Cimex. The cimex won't "eat-up" the loose rugs or phones cables like the crb has. I think the Cimex is better designed for encap and agitation. The CRB acts more like a pile lifer.
Maybe consider making a donation to a worthwhile cause if That's tax deductible in Canada.

Thanks John, I do lots of charitable stuff, I just don't think it's in the right spirit if I talk about it. I'm looking for a machine to streamline certain aspects of my commercial business. I'm leaning to the cimex. A supplier here has a 20 inch barely used unit that could be a reality.

Willy.. also keep in mind that the cimex will require a 3rd dedicated electrical socket-- I hope your porty uses 2 outlets. Maybe consider a Zipper if electrical power is a concern or headache you'd rather avoid..
I'm finding lots of dollars under the rocks in regular maintenance of commercial carpet. I'm getting more and more monthly/ bi-monthly and quarterly cleanings and if I have to use the pixie dust machines to increase profitability, I'm finally willing to bend. I do have a few 175's that I bonnet with, but it can be hit and miss. Dang, none of my set-ups work on 2 cords, 3 or 4 in most cases. I know my electrical panels and most wiring pretty well

If you're leaning into the commercial side I would suggest the Brush Pro. The crb will work on multiple surfaces while the Cimex is limited to carpet.

Brush pro for sure with regular maintenance. Tell them how you remove the dry soil before you clean.I'm finding lots of dollars under the rocks in regular maintenance of commercial carpet.

3 or 4 cords!! Thats great to hear.. I know it can be bothersome but it does produce better results..
The TM only guys just don't get it. A porty IS the only option in some Markets.. I'd like to see a TM operate in Manhattan-- probably be towed in 15 minutes!! And out of Biz in a week.

That's not true....
We have prescrubbed tile and grout with the harder brush sets on the Cimex... We also have done a bunch of stone polishing with Cimexes ... Also put the Cimex in the washpit for some rugs with the softer brush set .... And of course used it to prescrub before hwe.

Ray-- I do think the Cimex can handle multiple surfaces.. different heads are available.

I'm assuming Willy has portables including one that is high pressure for tile and grout. He has Floor machines that are universal.
A Brush Pro would allow for more productivity if used correctly for maintenance programs.

Other than charging a king's ransom for VCT work (I've got 8k for 2 jobs booked for September ), I do very little tile and grout or hard surface. This would be for growth in appearance management for apartment, condo and office common areas. Getting a steady and reliable source of income with cheques in the mailbox every month is very comforting. I don't chase the residential market much, far too fickle.

For all that ^^ Cimex.
One of the VCT jobs has 18000 sf of carpet to clean as well. I've also got one on the burner for a sports venue with private boxes and office space that needs routine maintenance. It's been awesome for growth this year I'm doing bigger and bigger jobs and getting the repeats. Customers love friendly but not overbearing,on time, service oriented, under promised and over delivered work. It sells itself.
