This is my 10" Crb...

[Pioneer Floorcare]

... there are many other like it, but this is mine!

The Whittaker so I got the arch handle.

Scott, you are going to love having a crb. Don't suck the cord, or computer wires, either.

Nice looking piece of gear.

 

[Mikey P]

my what big wheels you have...

I already have 2 17" brush pros, I just got this so my 125# helper can have an easier go of it.

There's some kind of magic that happens when you lay a quality product on the carpet and lubricate the fibers. It just wants to let go of all the hair and loose debris that results from the CRB scrub.

Congrats on the new machine. You will love it! I wish I would have been using one 10 years ago!

I found it interesting that they are bolted on.

I started using crb 2 years ago, and I now don't offer non-crb scrubbed cleaning on residential

That's a nice machine. One of the originals if not thee original cylindrical carpet machines. Not sure but Whittacke has had em for years before the 'me too's came along. If you take notice, most vary from the Whittacker.

Btw in 10+ yrs never had to change the gears. Just pay attention around cords you'll be fine.
Also get green, blue and white brushes for light to restorative aggressive agitation.

Bought my 15 inch whittaker around 03. It has a rotowash emblem on the handle

 

[Mikey P]

Raf I bought my 17 in 01.

But Whittiker has the same Austrian manufacturer make them for them as 80% or more of those me too companies do.

Brush Pro
Brush Encap
MasterBlend and 100s of others


All the same.

What do you need repaired?

What about berber carpet? I don't see a need to crb berber. I think we need to go twice as slow with vacuuming the carpet before we prespray. But with the berber loops...I don't think agitating will help. Prevaccuming and longer dwell time for berber.

Wrong.

Berber is absolutely positively benefiting from crb.

I have nearly zero wicking issues on any job that I crb, loop pile included

 

[dealtimeman]

Scott don't give away all of your secrets as most won't believe you anyways.

 

[BIG WOOD]

I wasn't worried about any wicking. I just think it's a waste of time and labor, due to the carpet being tightly looped. If you can't separate and move the carpet fibers like you can on a cut pile, it defeats the purpose of going over it with a crb.

I love my CRB. I use it almost all the time. Just not on berber.

 

[Mikey P]

Berber likes a 175/Red Pad much better than a crb

 

[BIG WOOD]

Berber likes a 175/Red Pad much better than a crb

That's what I was thinking about. With the weight of the 175 on top of that tight woven berber. That'll make it move more

 

[Mikey P]

I love giving Ed 36 hours prove he's not a nut.

 

[Pioneer Floorcare]

I rarely bother putting my 175 on my van any more. Maybe 3-4 times a year. I would rather do an extra pass with the crb and have half the weight to carry. My rotary extractor hasn't been used in over a year. I guess I should just sell it

 

[DAT]

I need a 175... Should i get just 175 or 175/300 combo?

The CRB is awesome and all but there's definitely many cases where nothing will touch what the rotary can accomplish.

With such little effort too.

I really think there is no more valuable tool, to a 1 man "crew".

The CRB shines when running 2 men on the truck.

You can do it Ed!

 

[Cleanworks]

The crb is great for residential but when in the shop doing rugs, nothing beats a 175 with a nylon brush.

 

[steve_64]

What do you need repaired?

Bearings. I'll need to grind out the old ones first. I'm sure I can find bearings to match around here. I haven't been feeling to well so it's on the back burner half tore apart on the work bench.
I'm going to try and replace screws with hex nuts too.

Fred must be dead.

I believe he stomped a hole in the floor and can't make it to the keyboard.
