Hate to admit it but that looks super useful to me. So easy to bring in and fix a wicking issue or a stain. It's a little overpriced like all new cordless things, but the idea is gonna stick around.

I've used them. They are ok, just look homeowner style and have a cord. My full size vibe has been bombproof except for the jets which leak. I'd buy a battery op when they come down to 1500 or so.
You can now encap those carpeted bathrooms! We've been needing that for so long!!!!
That was funny. Can I laugh at my own jokes?

So is anyone genuinely interested in this machine? As an Orbot distributor, we’ve been asked to take it on. But even with a discounted list price of 2 grand, I’m wondering if it will find a place in the cleaner’s toolbox. What do you guys think?
I doubt i would... If i want some small like that, id get the oreck op used somewhere..
It probably be perfect for custodial/building maintenance services that tends to use the mop to rub that spills with simple green... Ask Chavez.

If I didnt have my vibe I'd buy one. When this thing gets old I'll get a cordless version for sure. Most of my jobs are smaller in size. But at the moment no, not going to drop 2k to lose a cord.

you'd presume they made it, because their market asked for it

Their "market" didn't ask for it, their MARKETING did.

People said that about cordless drills, sazalls, and everything else now battery powered.

yeah but handtools are small and making them battery powered increased mobility/production
I'm looking at getting some battery backpack vacuums for the increased mobility/production
I personally dont see it with this, as you dont need any more mobility than a cord gives
now if it was their micro scrubber with a battery backpack for doing stairs and mass seating...
