Vacuum of my dreams...

[JS41035]

I got one. I'll sell it for 400. Live your dreams mike.

 

[Zee]

You got what? The host Liberator that's in the video?

 

[shadygrady]

I've used a Certified Pile-Lifter spanning five decades and have never 'destroyed' a carpet. I also fabbed an attachement to hook-up to a TM for super-duty suction. Most who have negative opinions about this machine have never taken the time to master it.

 

[Kellie Hiler]

Sigh.........so many cool tools, so little time.

 

[JS41035]

Yup.

You got what? The host Liberator that's in the video?

 

[rjwood]

Yup.

Is it in good condition? Why are you selling it?

 

[JS41035]

It works. And any more than 400 and you'll be bitterly disappointed with the big clunky contraption. But you can tell all your friends that you have a crb.

 

[rjwood]

Thanks.

 

[JS41035]

It's very heavy and not really something that would get used for pre agitation. Unlike the crbs sold for just that purpose.

Lemme know when you goobers get around to discussing cars, beach homes, guitars or travel destinations of your dreams

 

[JS41035]

You love it. You know you do.

@Mike Draper

I think this is the closest to what you want. Host Liberator. A crb with a vacuum on top. You can either run just the brushes or turn on the vacuum while you brush...I'm kind of interested in one of these actually.


@WillS do you guys use these?

Host Liberators are to big to use in residential. We have a few of these Freestyle machines, but the vacuum isn't great on it. I'd still highly recommending vacuuming after using it.

 

[Zee]

Naah.. Fred...we don't want to discuss all those things we already enjoy on a daily basis... So dream on brah'... Vacuums are in!



Edit: substitute guitar for my cello...

 

[Zee]

And since this came up... Fred, these days I'm seriously coveting a nice used Cobra 5 stringer...

Anybody got one for sale?

 

[J Scott W]

You have a picture of that Scott?

I don't have a photo. I will see if I can get one from @regarossa.

After having used a Brush Pro with vacuum attached, I would rather have an old-fashioned pile-lifter. Simply easier to work with since there is no vac hose to move around and I think the pile lifter did better at the vacuuming. But I still love Brush Pro for other reasons.

Strange .... in post, nowhere, Fred mentions enlightenment.

I like my Deering five string.

 

[Zee]

I like my Deering five string.

Those look like fun little things .... I sure don't know how to play them though.

Other than the actual wooden body 4/4 acoustic cellos, right now I'm after one of these:

you mean something like this?
I thought these had CRB's?

pretty sure the one i used had two brushes. very aggressive. i only used it on commercial. made the pile look new. it would need a better bag or hook it to the truck mount because it really spewed dust.

 

[steve_64]

Zee I play viola. Im not very good but getting better.

That cello looks like fun.

I am still waiting for a mfg to make a CRB with a nice strong vacuum motor in it and a large bag. Imagine how thoroughly and quickly you could vacuum a house. No vacuum cleaner would even come close. You could probably charge a premium for vauuming service just by showing folks what you can get out of their carpet. Just an idea I've had for at least 6-7 years. Hopefully someone will do it.

Mike....I posted something to this effect last week. Why not have a good strong vacuum on a CRB machine and do 2 chores at once? And be able to shut down the vac if you want to pre-scrub the prespray. I'm still searching for that vacuum that was available 10+ years ago that was able to vac up ink pens, paper clips, hair pins, drywall nails. It was advertised in one or more of the trade magazines.

Jesus! Ya might as well put a dolly on your TM and drag it inside!
