Orbot Vibe or Trinity Phoenix?

[Walrus Gumboot]

What's the main difference other than price and weight?
We have a large commercial job coming up and need a couple of VLM machines to handle it.

lets see

Trinity PHX:
4 choices of oscillation starting with the Vibe's only speed of 3/8s ,with other options 1/2, 9/16(what I use) and a super speedy 3/4's
Built like a friggin tank in the USA of America
Unique tamping action, that can be "shut off" for hard surface work
Built by and for lowlife owner ops like you and me
2.5 gallon jug makes more sense over a fixed tank
Killer customer support
Smooth as silk to run

Vibe:
Sexy looks
Cheaper

Cheaper?

 

[Mikey P]

yes the vibe and the mytee are about 1k cheaper

The Vibe is pretty nice. Built solid, liked the looks like Mike mentioned.

I think you need to run both to compare. Especially if you're a new VLM cleaner.

That's a lot of coin for one job, unless you plan on using it more as time goes on.

 

[Walrus Gumboot]

Cheaper?

Don't you have an Orbot?
Speak.

Yeah, we need 2 machines.
Done with the Cimex. You know, where does the dirt....

I have the sprayborg. I had the opportunity to use the Phoenix in Phoenix cleaning the back offices of the hotel we were staying at. Even though I used for a short time, I was very impressed. One of the things I like is the placement of the 2.5 gallon jug over the rear wheels. The sprayborg has it on the handle. My sprayborg works great but given the choice, I would buy the trinity phoenix. The vibe is a little different as it has a 5 gallon tank on the handle. I like the 2.5 gallon jugs. I have 6 of them and fill as many as I think I need. Very fast to swap in and out.

I have 2 cimex machines. Considering selling both of them and buying the trinity. Will use the sprayborg as back up.

They won't be as fast or you shouldn't clean that fast with a pad. I always liked the Trinity but don't have much experience behind one.

Used the old Orbot Spray Borg quite and bit but think the Vibe is much more solidly built.

Again I'd want to run them before jumping on the purchase. Even if you had to travel to spend time using them it would be money well spent.

Cleaning a medical building tomorrow with my Orbot. I almost feel guilty. 6,000 sq ft and I'm in and out fast. I'm going to need to find something to do to eat up some time.

Bring some baconators with you.

If you are leaning towards the Orbot you might wanna check out the Mytee Eco. I know many don't care for Mytee but their Eco machines are pretty nice. I traded an old 175 in and got $500 off. It seems to be built well.

I joke... but I’d probably go with the Phoenix.

 

[Walrus Gumboot]

Does the Phoenix vibrate in your hands?
That tamping action, which sounds good for cleaning, might get old if the job takes 7 or 8 hours.

No, which is shocking, I know..

I ran it for ten days straight and never thought about it.


The older Spyder on speed 5 will numb you in an hour

Is this job offices or open areas?
How many sq.ft. per hour?

Its a working office. I’ll probably be done in 2.5 hrs. Got my boy on the cimex. Maybe faster. .
