"that thing looks like a tinker toy"
It's light, Steve, but they're pretty well built.
I had one it held up to our crew abuse.
MUCH better than a grandi groomer to agitate pre-spray.
I found mine in a rehab we were doing and it got it for free.
few years latter I traded it for a new (demo unit) POS Terri-Towel machine.
I've regretted it ever since.
My Terri-Towel machine is buried in the basement some where.
I might use it in 10 or 15 years when it's time to refinish the oak floors in my house.
or if i can find some fool....er..guy who would give me a few hundred for it.
Actually, it wouldn't be a bad deal for a hardwood floor re finisher, as that's what it is, a rectangle floor sander minus the vac attachment.
It ain't crap for a VLM carpet cleaning though.
An OP machine kicks it's a$$ all over the place as far as speed and cleaning efficacy
