Cimex or Orbot?

[Desk Jockey]

No those are standard. The big wheels make it easier to push when cleaning, transporting. Amazing the difference!

I second the Big Boy Wheels, we bought a new machine earlier this year with them and I immediately ordered another set to upgrade one of our other units.

 

[Desk Jockey]

We have 4 with the big boy wheels and 4 without. I'd like to eventually upgrade to the point where I go to help on big projects that I Don't get stuck with the small wheels.

It is so nice to see them send out the first four and see them all with the big boys. Eventually we will get them all replaced.

Big Boy wheels are the way to go.

The standard wheels can easily get caught under the bullnose on steps.

My Bigger Wheels are different in that they are indeed larger than Rick's Big Wheel Kit, (10"), also mine are pneumatic, ( pump-ups for those down south ).

Some say mine are too big, whatever floats your boat, they are ideal for me.

This makes them ( for me ), easier to take up & down stairs when I have to, as the air acts as a shock absorber for both Big Yella & I.

The stock/standard wheels are hard, Big Wheels are semi pneumatic, like the wheels on a dehumidifier if you like.

This will give you an idea, mine are 12 & 1/4" .

We owe a debt of gratitude to Shorty for the idea. One for Rick making it commercially available.

Thank you both!

Squirting jiggler and pad assortment always before a Cimex.

Cimex last.

Multi-dimensional machine before a one-dimensional machine.

It's the most logical progression.

A multi-dimensional Oreck Jiggler that is.

Pleasant thought of cherries got me through scrubbing 3 flights of stairs today.

The exception to that rule is...... when a 2 year old Cimex comes up for sale for 1/4 retail, YOU BUY IT.....

 

[NobleCarpetCleaners]

or a 175. Depends on the volume yer really gonna use it on. Take more then a couple commercial accounts (and their size) to justify leaving behind a 175 (and it's so cheap to purchase) and its versatility. When you do move up I suggest asking yourself do you ever have to wiggle a pad or are you just encapping and running. Encap-n-dash I'd lean towards a Cimex.

 

[Shorty]

Not necessary, but thank you Richard for the compliment.

The big boy wheels make Richard feel Mighty.

Can't argue with that.

 

[Sierra Clean Care]

Well.... I'm finally home.4 1/2 hr. drive each way. Got a 19" Cimex, 3 cases of Releasit DS2, 4 boxes of different pads, a box of 8" bonnets, and the concrete kit. Took the wife to an oceanfront restaurant, and enjoyed a 2 1/2 hr meal..... AND, managed to pick all of it up for 1350$..... the machine looks barely used.....

 

[Goomer]

Holy chit....what does the concrete kit alone cost?

Dude, with all the extras, you got the machine itself for free.

Sweet. Now it's time to chase ALL the shyte I've been shying away from......

You will not be disappointed, I guarantee that.

Do you do much commercial??

If not, I would also suggest that you get Rick Gelinas' CMS ( Commercial Marketing System ).

OMG, I forgot, I'm so sorry for "shilling" (you know who I'm talking to).

Funny you should mention Rick's name. It came up in conversation today with the seller.....

I would choose an orbot because, from what I have been told by carpet manufacturers, Oscillating pad machines will not void warranties and rotaries such as cimex will.

If it needs scrubbing the warranty is probably already voided.

Which carpet manufacturer told you that?

I have heard it said but had not heard an OP was ok. We own both but in my opinion the OP is the most aggressive machine.

The Cimex is "Planetary", so I would be interested to see if that is considered in the "rotary" group.

 

[hogjowl]

Guerkink again ...

 

[Nomad74]

I chose the Cimex

Damon chose the Orbot

That should tell you all you need to know

Not very nice

 

[Desk Jockey]

He said "he was told by carpet manufacturers". John manufacturers machines.

IDIOT!

Where is the new guy in all this discussion. I want to hear more about the benefits of a 3-phase motor.
