Fred doesn't allow people to just drop links without instigating some sort of commentary so I'll take care of it for you, that machine appears to be essentially a stripped down Orbot with the least amount of OP travel possible..
With the biggest drawback being a shower feed versus a spray system which with orbital action is as messy as can be...
And uses 2/3 more solution.
Sorry Mike. I would never buy that. Just wanted to see what everyone had to say about it. My vibe replacement will be the Trinity.

The bearing will poo poo itself when it rust or corrodes from that shower feed

Yeah, I was checking it out for the last month but the drip feed had me pretty unimpressed despite what seemed to be a nice offering. The 4k jump to a phoenix op is so much. Maybe Minuteman ROS 17 as a cheap alternative would be better that the magic wand probot?
I would jump on an Orbot Vibe TL $2500 if I could now that I know that Orbot might be outta business but it is no longer available from the vendor I was looking at.

I can't see a drip feed being very effective. With a shower feed brush, it comes right through the holes in the brush. With a pad, how long would it take to penetrate the pad? The Phoenix sprays evenly ahead of itself.

Bout the only thing it might be good for is fixing wick backs the day after.

Obviously you wouldn't use it through a pad
I was talking to my friend yesterday while he was buffing an 8 bedroom carpeted job. I laughed when he said, “it’s time to put those triangles in the carpet”. I laughed harder when I heard is vacuum cleaner turn on.
