New Cimex Design, After Further Review.... Not So Impressed

[Shane Deubell]

At First, i loved the new cimex design....

Sleeker design, lighter, smoother operating.

BUT now not sooo much, after 9 months the motor just went on ours. Yes, we use it 4 hours day 6 days week year round but we have the older version still from 2007 that we use 4 hours day 6 days week and the motor is fine. Plus we bought this battle wagon used that looks like the first version ever made... Only use it part time but it still works great.

The older version is heavier, bulky but it cleans way better, uses pads better and the motor lasts forever.

Anyone else experience this or i am just being a weiner that complains too much?

I had 2 that are about 10 years old and still running great. I just bought a new one a few on this ago and so far no problems . Maybe you just just a rare lemon. I'm sure it's still under warranty .

I just broke of the little plastic tube where the feed line hose goes into the machine. any tricks on how to best replace that tube ? I got the newer version.

Thanks

If it is the little black part call excellent supply.

Cut off a piece of tube from a trigger spray bottle and put it in where it snapped off.

I think mike has had trouble with his new one. I believe he has a bearing or somthing that is bad on his that creates a grinding noise when you run it. His is the newer model also. My cimex is the slightly older one and I have probley put 1,000,000 sq feet on it and never had a prob

Can you take pics of the old and new side by side that way we know what style you are talking about.

From what I have heard the new style cimex has no shroud to cover the top of the motor. They are using a different and taller motor now. I would be worried about spilling chemicals into the fan of the motor.
