I used the Brush Pro and the Pro Caps machines on a 30,000 sq ft school we did and everyone like the Brush Pro better because of the lint trap and the brushes were better. That was for cleaning the carpet. I use the Sebo Duo for prescrubbing residential carpets, but would never use a CRB to clean residential carpets..
You might also be thinking of the Whittaker.. think that was CRB.

Ron wasn't it you who posted a picture of one that was black and green a while back? Someone did, I can't remember for the life of me. It had green brushes and was black i think.
I just sold my procaps because I wasn't a big fan of that one.

The duplex was good but a little awkward to carry around. It was a great scrubber. But I want to try something different.

whittaker gls and lomac, brush pro are both the same machines and I think they are the most convienient to use and work the best. I have been using them for a couple years and still havn't had one break down on me. light 45# excellent agitation. Two are available on ebay right now. a 15" and a 20". both with no reserve auctions. Expect to pay around a grand for them.

I think the black and green one you're talking about was manufactured by the same company that made Ron L's. http://www.envirodri.com/machines.html
These two used Host machines cost $350.00 total. They work fine. BradF mentioned three different brushes are available. Soft-white, Zebra-medium and black-aggressive. I'm running zebra's. For commercial you'd probably need the blacks. oh, and you'll want a good pre-spray to go with em too. I'm using judson.
The Host machines are cheap and lightweight. However, i've had my eye on the Prochem crb because it has a 2 gallon tank w/ 50 psi pump. Not sure how well it works out in the field.
Whittaker looks like a heavy duty machine too and offers a solution tank option as well.
Host has been doing CBR's since the 1930's. but not sure if they offer a solution tank.
for heavy duty commercial i'd probably want to demo the whittaker.

I think the latest round of improvements to the Brush Pro make it the top machine in the field and the price is competitive. (Bigger motor, better gears, no bogging down)
I have access to a couple of demo models. A little scratch on the chrome here and there, but they operate as good as new. I can get them for a few hundred off the new price. Send me an email if interested and I will get you specifics.

the host machines are ok, but if you plan on using one on every job I would recommend something bigger and more powerful. the hose motor isn't that stout and kinda bogs down a bit. the get the job done no doubt but I would really like it if the motor didn't bog. they do really really help on poly friezes though. its too bad the brush pros are 3 grand.
