Im a Newbie 175 Freak : )

[GCCLee]

Just bought a rockin lil 17" 175 1.5hp package
from none other than Clean Freak oh yea!

We really would have liked the yellow one as I am a stiffler for cool looking equipment as well as durable ones, but ya can't put the cart before the horse and must sacrifice at times.
Got the detergent hopper, driver head, couple cases pads and a few fuzzy soft buffing pads : )

Can't wait to see the UPS man drag this up the porch : )

Going for ability to polish wood floors, more resi tile mainly.

Don't shoot the Freak : )

That 175 may not make you a rock star, but it will be a work horse for you for many years to come. I always have one on the truck.

 

[Ron Werner]

Will a 175 outperform a Cimex on hardfloors if using the same pads? I saw the Cimex operates at 400rpm. Does the slower 175 dig in more?

That looks like a nice package, wonder what the exchange and shipping would cost?

 

[Mardie]

Ron the 3 small heads on the Cimex turn at 400 rpm and the big head that they are attached to turns at 100 rpm.

 

[Mardie]

Way to go Chris! You are now ahead of 90% of the hacks who own this industry.

Are you saying that 90% of the hacks are hacks because they do not have a 175 or that they are hacks because they provide no form of agitation ??

 

[Mardie]

For anyone looking for a 175/300 and are serious about a versatility and true quality you should maybe check out www.centaurmachines.com Canadian made since 1962.

LOL Chris send that pos back its not to late. Buy Canadian and you will be set.Have you checked out them Centaur machines? Our common household out lets are 15 amp with 20 amps in kitchens and other high demand areas and 220 for electric stoves and dryers.

I bought the same one you just ordered (I think) about 6 months ago. I think you will be really happy with it. Keep us updated on your progress with it as a scrub machine for carpet. I bought it for VCT and scrubbing carpet but haven't used it on carpet yet. I still need to order the brush for it.
My cleaning process has become much more involved over the last year, commanding a much higher price, but also requiring quite a bit more time. I use my 360i in almost every resi living area as well as heavily soiled traffic areas. I really like it and it does give a WOW effect for the customer and the pictures I post on FB etc. I plan on hiring someone in the Spring and will consider taking a couple more steps toward quality then including scrubbing with the 175. A brush pro or similar CRB like Saiger showed in his videos might be a better fit in the van but we'll see.
Congratulations on taking this step toward quality. I think we would all do well to separate ourselves from the pack (or hack) with our quality rather than attempting to play the lowest price game.
Looking forward to meeting you at MF!

Oh yea...it's going to be some RIDE!!!...........

Ever ride a mechanical bull??

Ever hold the leash of a 200 pound Mastiff who needs to take a leak reeallly baddd, when you first open the door???

Don't underestimate the power of these machines. They can pull your arm right out of it's socket if your not careful
.
Be prepared to put in some practice in a safe area before you pull it out in Ms. Piff's sitting room.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Very important advice. EASE into it and progress from running it on wet concrete in an area free of breakables if possible. The more DRAG on the machine the more FINESSE you need to run it. You cannot just fight it, it will break your arms.

Eventually, like riding a bike, you will master it.

It amazed grown men when my seven year old daughter could do it with one hand.

 

[GCCLee]

Oh Boy some Beans : )

Love those two and their crazy hounds !
Thanks for the rocking deal Superior Cleaning Solutions!

Thanks for the shout out, Chris! Once you get your machine, let us know if you need anything... we are here for you!

One quick tip regarding the carpet brush is I recommend breaking it in on concrete for about 10 minutes before you use it on carpeting. This will slightly tip the bristles outward and remove any burrs that may have been on it from the manufacturer. I don't want to see you ripping up or fraying your carpeting.

Thanks,
Tim

Appreciate the tip on the brushes, I recall that being mentioned once before here on "The Worlds Greatest Carpet Cleaning Forum" glad you mentioned it again sir!

Figured I would run it in the garage for awhile, ya know before I go banging through walls an such : ) i did have the unfortunate experience of doing VCT strip wax w SM years ago. I have a connection to a guy w FMG that does that and will tell him all about You Freaks : )

Also, Thank Ya'll for the Awesome Shirts, Audra absolutely nailed Perfect Customer Service!!

Christopher Lee

 

[CleanFreak.com]

Good luck and try not to go through too many walls...
