ORBOT, Conqueror breeze or BRUTE?

[frank]

what will be better to OPE A NEW commercial account I just got do not want to just scrub and run?

 

[FLYERMAN]

I have a Breeze and it blows.

If I ever bought a new machine it would be the Orbot.

We have Orbots and really like them, Jeremy has two Brutes and he does much more OP than we do. I don't think you could miss with either choice.

 

[Mikey P]

Orbot for sure.



Way more solid than the others. A few more bucks though.

I had a chance to use Steve Snail's Orbot and loved it. That's what I plan on buying when I pull the trigger.

 

[alazo1]

The orbot has the training wheels?

[Mikey P]

yes

I guess I am just not paying attention, but how is running an orbot different than running a bonnet and 175? They are both spinning a cotton pad.

Can your 175 do this?

I knew someone was going to say it oscillates. It is still just a pad spinning. Wouldn't a soft brush and microfiber pad do a better job? I guess I will have to see one in person to understand.

Daniel,

I know it seems counterintuitive, but your rotary simply doesn't clean like an OP. It's not a question of which cleans "better" - the two pieces of equipment are completely different animals. This is not a knock on rotaries. I have always and always will own rotaries, but that doesn't make a rotary an OP machine.

This is why for most us, the longer we're in this business the more "stuff" we own. There is always the "perfect" piece of equipment for a specific application. Is this a blessing or a curse? Depends on what mood I'm in when pondering all the crap I've accumulated. :?

 

[Blue Monarch]

Keep accumulating Jeff. Then let me borrow stuff.

 

[DevilThomas]

Want to save about a thousand dollars or more?...check out Orbitec...CX-20, or Defender. Both good OP machines...a lot less money. Use the money you save, to buy Gladiator Pads.

You can get as good a result with a rotary by doing figure eights.

I learned that from Mark Stanley , Jeff.

 

[Jeff Madsen]

Jimmy! - sometimes you are a mean little man! I love you anyway.
