I have 2 175s taking up space in my garage...:hopeless:
At this point I'm ready to lug them into the back of my truck and to a dumpster.
Or find someone local who is in need of them.... I don't plan on ever touching them again lol.

If I could I would use the exwife. She could aggitate like nothing else.

Im loving the 10 in crb. The 175 works great but is heavy and awkward. Ill only use it for really big jobs now.
You can, look down at the traffic pattern. Yup there she is. Works for darts too!

I used a little 12" scrubber with a natural brush on it to scrub stairs before I bought a 10"CRB. The CRB scrubs better especially on stairs and the dog hair it pulls out shocks customers. A great reason to call me the next time to clean.

If it's a down to earth customer I like them to see the hair chunks shoot out with the trays off. They're like "wtf is that?" and I tell em its what the last guy couldn't get out.

I will say on some out worn out carpet I'll get a bunch of carpet chunks in my tray and the carpet will look visibly thinner to me.

I fill the trays up with fiber and debris when I use the crb on dry carpet. When its wet not so much.

I follow genny on a lot of jobs and she is always like wtf I vacd that good.

I always use the stiff brushes and its mostly polyesters.

Had a 175 with a brush and different colored pads,works great. I got the 15" and never pulled it again. I finally gave it to a friend. The 15" will do stairs no problem, video if you need proof. Much easier to use and train someone on.

I have a 15 inch GLS. Had it for years. Since back before CBM's became the new board rage. I liked it ok as a scrub and run encap machine, but found it nowhere even close to being as good a prescrub before HWE tool.

It's a shame I didn't have all this BB excitement back then. It might have made that machine work better.

The crb is great for these newer polyesters that ugly out in a couple months. It probably wasnt needed twenty years ago.

Yep those really nicel looking polys must be staple fiber. Almost , jus,t almost, would rather pull out the 175 and a brush for those. I get tons of carpet fibers when using a crb. I would really like to give it a finish look with the crb, but then need to go back and clean up all the carpet I pulled up.
If it weren't for all that gunk it would look as if the carpet had already been cleaned.
