orbot vibe

[del]

Hi Guys I understand quite a few of you have now taken delivery of your orbot vibe machines. We should start to see availability in the UK in the next month or so.
Would appreciate any comments good or bad as I am keen to try this unit even though the UK price tag will be pretty steep I expect !
Look forward to your views.
Thanks Dek.

I ordered one last week. I can't wait to try her out!

It's great. I've only done carpet and some laminent so far but today I'll be scrubbing some linoleum in a medical lab and also some rubber floor in a tire shop. I'll try to take some pictures.

I did my hallway in my house, does that count for anything? I'm waiting to hear back on a 6,000 sqft bid.

Working today on linoleum in a rough building. It gets used for AA meetings and drug rehab. And daycare. The flooring has a lot of texture, so it soaks up dirt and mopping does very little. I usually use my 15in autoscrubber on it but it doesn't fit into the "grains" very well and doesn't get the edges like you can with the vibe.
My process was spraying down a strong degreaser from Spartan, scrubbing with a red pad and the weights on with the vibe. After that I either absorbed it all with pads, or used a mop first to get the majority of soil first, then dried with a pad. I love how with a bonnet it cleans the cove Base and you can get edges really well. I forgot to take an after picture so this is kinda useless. Sorry.

I got a call today from a cleaner in New York. He saw my youtube videos on the Orbot. He was about to buy a Trinity, but after seeing my videos he was leaning more toward the Orbot. I think after our conversation he's going to pull the trigger. He was not impressed with how slow the Trinity revolutions were, something I don't really know about. Anyway, a really nice guy.

My only complaint so far is the sprayer. I used it all day today, on linoleum and laminate floor. It scrubs amazing, but the pump puts out alot of liquid, and the pressure is great enough so the mist and spray goes 3-4 feet beyond the machine. It works great on large areas of vlm carpet. For smaller janitorial hard floor cleaning the sprayers arnt focused enough, or are too powerful, to not wet the walls or other areas. This isn't a deal breaker, it just takes some adjustments. The sprayborg would be a little better in some ways. Overall, I love the OP cleaning abilities and the build quality.

Reduce the tip output?

 

[Small town janitorial]

That might help. It has so much psi that it mists and hits the floor hard enough to splatter. I just had to make puddles in the center of areas and drag the moisture to the edges.

 

[Mikey P]

What size are they?

 

[Small town janitorial]

02s I believe.

 

[Mikey P]

Yeah, 4 flow is a lot if not extracting..

Try 01s..

I cleaned a bank yesterday. Lots of tile, stone and vinyl.

I used my TM and tile wand.

Because I like to really clean.

Most banks in the real world have locked door policy... Using a TM isn't possible in the real world..

There's nothing of value in an Alabama bank.

I clean banks with the doors wide open. All drawers are open and empty and you have to get into the safe room and then get into the safe, not going to happen very secure now days.

If they left the bank wide open less than .0000000000000000001 of all people would or could get into the safe.

This is the real world not a movie.

 

[Nate The Great]

Birds fly upside down over Texas.... It doesn't count..

 

[Desk Jockey]

They have to be secured here too.

 

[dealtimeman]

The banks here are weird, they have electronic safes that only open during certain times of the morning and you ain't getting in that safe without having worked for the company who designed the safe. In other words they know if it was an insider type job.

Some of the larger banks require us to hire a police officer but he just helps move hose as he is bored as hell after the first hour.

This is perfect for the Bank jobs.

That guy

 

[dealtimeman]

now when we do jewelry stores, we also have to have a police officer present while cleaning every time, for our protection and the stores.

 

[hogjowl]

We do a jewelry store every six months. We use the back door so the crooks won't see us.

 

[Jimmy L]

And you're a liar.......they don't have jewelry stores down there!

 

[hogjowl]

Costume jewelry is still valuable!
