Looks like a new hick up

[Ken692]

So I get a nice job, I'm using my Orick orbital 550 and halfway through the job she wants to trip the circuit breaker, the one on the unit, I unplugged it shut it off And reset it and it does it again. I'm going to have to check and see if there's anything binding. Anyone have these that may know?

Quit buying crap equipment, your life will be so much more enjoyable.

Right, but we can't start at the top.
Worked awesome for a short time.
Mike you must have had some startup gear at some point

Ask @SamIam

He got me started with a Servant Steam porty, a long forgotten wand of some sort and a pawn shop 175.

That Oreck is meant to be used twice a year by homeowners. Don't risk your wealth on it.

Serva steam

Aka camel back two 3 stage lamb vacs a 100 psi pump 25 ft of hose 220 inch of lift on a psi gauge.

A single jet stainless wand with 8 flow.

And yes it popped breakers. $1200 new

Held about 10 gallons.

I would love a 175,
Wow what a boost I got with the pretreat over my first few months without the pads.
I had a call back tell me he took my higher price quote due to the great results he got using me. (Thanks to some of the nice tips here)
He said I saved his carpet.
I know I'm throwing good cash away with the oreck, it's just a nice size, and easy to handle.

 

[Ken692]

There is a nice buffer I can afford on eBay, what cha think

 

[Mikey P]

should work great on baseboards

 

[Jimmy L]

I started with a EDIC 10 gallon , 100 psi, 2-2 stage vacs.
No internet at the time, no body to tell me what to buy.
Those were a couple of years I don't care to remember.

Absolutely hate portables

If everything seems to be working okay with no binding, don't forget it could be the circuit breaker that is bad. I don't even know what the Oreck is, but I had a bad circuit breaker in something.

I can still see my little 110 lb female tech unloading that Castex out of the back of my 1980 Chevy pickup

 

[Ken692]

These things work ?

These things work ?

doesn't look like it....

 

[Papa John]

My 1st carpet cleaner was I think $80, was worst the Bissell types and held maybe 1/2 gallon of water!-- God I can't believe people hired me back then.

 

[Ken692]

I guess it just looks like you get what you pay for. I'm going to have to fork out $600 for a low-boy

 

[Ken692]

Ok so I know Mikey told me these oreck floor toys are mostly for joe home owner, and are not made to work the work we need!
Even though the one I have is the Commercial xl version.
I just like the small footprint and at this point I'm working out of a jeep ;-( I took a look on line and these baby orecks run $200 to $500, I just got a gift from god with a really new 700 not the commercial version for $50
Funny the lady was like 79 and said she shipped it from California

Wow that's a great price for a 175
101 lb that puts power to the floor,
I see your point with the oreck, you don't really save with the cheeper product

 

[SamIam]

It's a solid 175 and will get the job done plenty of uses
