Okay just some fun today, I have yet to get a real crb, it is not because I am cheap or dont believe in them, I think they are one of the best prescrubbers, hair grabbing soil digging tools around.
I am always testing looking at things a little differently, one of my only complaints is the fact that you end up with all these hair balls that you have to go back and suck up with your vac hose, some yes will go up a glide but if you are running a hole glide forget it.
Also even though they can dig the deepest of debris out of carpet where does it go, Im talking about the sand and grit. I know it gets trapped up in the housing between the brushes but not all of it, and even more so after the unit has been packed full.....thus the hairsand balls that start coming out all over the carpet.
What I really think will take the crbs of today over the edge is having a vac port somewhere on the machine even if it is only a 1.5 hose. I think this would really come in handy for guys that are using them just for prescrubbing there prespray into the carpet.
I know as soon as I buy one it is gonna come out it is just my luck.
I had some fun this morning and thought I would post some pics
Two bedroom unit I put a brand new bag in my vac and filled it up
Next I presprayed all the carpet and then took my gutted vac that I scrub with and hooked my vac hose to it. Put a brand new white liner in my Dev filter to see what I would get
This is what made it to the filter Notice it is not super wet or super Dry it is just a little wet from scrubbing in my pre spray and this is what came out during that process, the good thing is not one hairsand ball was left behind.
Here is a picture of how much it changes the carpet before I even start to wand out
A quick pass with the wand WITH my hole glide
This is a picture of my filter after all is cleaned. This was ALL picked up AFTER a very good prevac I did NOT cut corners. I also want to say this is with our own fabricated HOLE glide. I know it is hard to tell but there was a lot of crap in there after I filled up a vacuum bag full of crap....this was only a two bedroom UPSTAIRS unit
Just having a little fun messing around today
