What should i look for in a orbital?

[humble rug]

Hello friends, I need a good orbital floor machine that will solely be used to clean hand knotted rugs. Are there some general guidelines of what makes a good rug floor machine? I assume there's considerations like weight, speed, brush Type etc.. any direction here would be appreciated

Orbital machines can be very hard on hand knotted rugs. I wouldn't recommend it.

There are many ways to clean hand knotted rugs. What equipment and training do you have?

I have a wash pit, drying room, Dustin area, truck mount. The floor machin I inherited with the business needs to be replaced so I'm looking for a new one to use in the pit

Cimex with brush heads

An OP will flop the rugs around like a Pelosi in a Napa County wine tasting.

I would go with a 175 with a tank and shampoo brush or a Cimex with soft brushes. Better than an orbital for that purpose in my opinion.

I'd go with a Cimex as well.. It's almost idiot-proof and new employee-friendly when the time comes.. It's the Cadillac of scrubbers.. You can use just about any floor machine with the right brushes if your budget doesn't allow a Cimex.. I'd look for a used one in your area.. A couple people have used tuway pads under their floor machines for gentle agitation..

if you lived closer you could have one. (17" 1.5hp rotary) with brush and couple pad drivers

He has all the bull crap he mentioned, what makes you think he can’t afford a brand spanking new Cimex? A guy in Northern Missouri has a nice used one for $2500. On Marketplace

Used works the same as new.. $100+ rotary, $1,000+ for a used Cimex.. idk others budgets..

For me that’s true because when it comes to that kinda stuff, I am a janitor. But, when you need something to make your operation smoother, there’s no time to wait for a deal. I drove to Missouri to buy a almost new Cimex for $2200, but ordered crb’s and Vibe new from Rick
