Best CRB to buy.

[Mountain View Carpet Care]

I want one that is 20 or bigger..

 

[Mikey P]

No bigger unless you hook two together

@Scott
@encapman
Or @Erik
Can help you out

 

[encapman]

You can use the "Tandem Bar" to merge two 20" BrushEncap machines together to create a 40" path.
A 40" cleaning path would be cool if you're cleaning a HUGE area like an airport terminal or a mall.
You can also combine two of the 15" machines. The 30" combo is more maneuverable.

Here's what the tandem bar setup looks like, showing 2 machines joined together...

Give us a call if you'd like a quote 800-330-1888.

As Rick has shown, the Brush Pro 17" or Brush Pro 20" can be combined with a tandem bar. Great for wide open spaces. YOu would probably not want something that wide in a congested area.

 

[Derek]

the 3 brushes on the Whittaker Trio are 20.25". the machine overall is 25" wide...it's a monster at over 75 LB's. i still have mine but prefer my Cimex or Liberty OP for ergonomic reasons. do a Search on these forums for Trio to see reviews. it encap-cleans as well as the aforementioned machines.

 

[dealtimeman]

What are you looking for it to accomplish?

Prescrubb? Encap? Dry soil and pet hair removal?

I would recommend the Austrian made carpet cleaner(rotowash) crbs as they are proven and last for a long time with a bit of cleaning.

rotowash dealer in the USA?

Powerflite

rotowash dealer in the USA?

@regarossa

Will you please set him straight

 

[dealtimeman]

No you don't want an original rotowash

You want the tm5 carpet cleaner America unit

 

[ruff]

Did anyone say Austria?

 

[encapman]

rotowash dealer in the USA?

The Austrian made machines are manufactured by Rotowash. They're imported through Carpet Cleaner America. They're sold through a few channels. The original Whittaker GLS machines (not their Trio machine) were Austrian built "TM" models from Rotowash. Our BrushEncap machines are likewise the genuine Austrian "TM" models. Interlink also sells a different model of genuine Austrian built CRB machine under their BrushPro label.

So you may wonder, what's the big deal with "Austrian built" machines. All these Austrian machines have a very solid reputation! That's the reason for choosing them. Rotowash builds a high quality machine. By comparison, there are also Asian CRB knockoffs floating around. Those machines are not holding up as well as the machines coming out of Austria.

 

[Mikey P]

I had a wood worker client notice the Made In Austria decal on my 10"



He was seriously impressed.

Mentioned it three times.




Guess what else is made in Austria..

So the multi-wash machine sold by Powrflite is not the same as the Rotowash made in Austria?

 

[encapman]

No, the Multiwash is not the same machine at all. I believe those are manufactured in India.

 

[regarossa]

Yes to the above by Rick and Scott.

The original Rotowash machine can be used on carpets but it really works better on hard surfaces. If it did we would be selling them...

I have never used the Powerflite version.

All of our machines are made in Austria. There is a reason the trains run on time in Germany and Austria. They do not mess around when it comes to engineering.

 

[steve_64]

The metal they use is different too. The sides remind me of the iron used on the machines I use to run in the folding carton industry.

It pits and corrodes on the surface but won't rot out. Very dense material.

 

[Mountain View Carpet Care]

I went with the Brush Pro 20..

 

[encapman]

Another variable between the Austrian machines... The 20" BrushEncap (TM5) comes with 20" brushes. The Brush Pro 20 comes with 18" brushes.

 

[encapman]

I went with the Brush Pro 20..

Congratulations. It's an excellent machine. It will serve you well.

 

[Jimmy L]

I wish Duplex would import their STEAM version.

 

[Cleanworks]

I wish Duplex would import their STEAM version.

Me too. So what if it needs 2 cords.

 

[Nate The Great]

Another variable between the Austrian machines... The 20" BrushEncap (TM5) comes with 20" brushes. The Brush Pro 20 comes with 18" brushes.

Another variable is the Brush Pro is rated to clean rugs pit washed where the TM5 isn't able to do that...

 

[encapman]

Another variable is the $1100 price bump for the rug pit privilege.

 

[Mountain View Carpet Care]

I do have a wash pit.. Glad I went with the brush pro.

 

[encapman]

Like I said above - it's an excellent machine. All the Austrian machines are well designed and built to last. You'll love your new CRB.

 

[steve_64]

I use my 10 inch crb in a make shift rug pit.

 

[Mikey P]

death wish?

 

[steve_64]

We use it on p resprayed carpet right?

 

[Mikey P]

Yes but not under an inch or more of water, which is what " in a wash pit" implys to me.
