Vacuum of my dreams...

[Mike Draper]

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.

Let's draw something....

I think it wouldn't be too hard to make one. We would just need a kickass vac motor first.

 

[Mikey P]

Do you have the ten inch Brush Pro Draper?

 

[hogjowl]

If you'll make it, Rob will knock it off.

No edging attachment.

I was going to buy a 10'' but I just purchased a vario and a zipper and a very expensive carpet cleaning machine out of the business funds. There is not much left and didnt want to have my account at 3.00 before winter.

Here Marty.... Hose attachment added.

I watched a Youtube video the other day that had a crb with a vacuum hose attached on top of the front renovator. sorry I don't remember which or what the name of the video was.

 

[Kellie Hiler]

I'd buy that!

 

[hogjowl]

I'm not liking that attachment position!

Vacuum using a Rotovac 360i, everything will come out.

host CRB comes with a hole where one can attach a vacuum hose and vacuum the carpet at the same time one scrubes it. David Reed uses one.

 

[Mikey P]

Is there a seal formed around the brush/carpet interface?

 

[Papa John]

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

 

[clean image]

those also spin so fast they will destroy many carpets in residential

My certified pile lifter has an attachment to hook up to a vac line to the truckmount.

Note the Royal vac motor.

 

[Mikey P]

How much would you pay for the perfect vacuum?

And would it be bagless?

 

[Mike Draper]

Honestly, if you took the brush pro and hooked a vacuum on it that could be turned on or off. I'd pay up to $2,500 for one.

@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?

 

[rjwood]

Five grand for that puppy. Yikes!

 

[Zee]

I saw one - like new - for about $1,500. I will never pay that $4,000 that $5,000

 

[rjwood]

I found a refurbished one for $2450.00.

Brush Pro can be order with a vacuum port. You can attch your portable or truckmount to that port.

 

[dealtimeman]

You have a picture of that Scott?

 

[rjwood]

The Brush Pro is just as expensive when you minus out the vacuum. My suspicion is that it's all very overpriced.

 

[rjwood]

In comparison the refurbished Liberator looks to be the best deal.
