Whittaker Trio - one year later

that's a nice looking machine Stephen. pretty heavy to which is good for the agitation.
Ofer yea i only bought it for the warranty issue that has never been an issue. but that's why i'm keeping it to. the production ratio for the Trio was as fast as the Cimex and cleaned at least as well as the Cimex. used less solution to. only other CRB i've tried was a Host in '04...terrible for encap, too light. not sure of the weight on the CRB's you mentioned but some CRB's are too light for me, i just can't see how they can dig in and agitate like the Cimex or an 80+ lb Trio. that NaceCare Stephen has seems like a good way to go as well. i see on youtube that it cleans up to about a quarter inch of a wall. the Trio only gets within an inch or 2 which stinks. you definitely need to prevac with it imo. even after a thorough prevac, while some of the debris goes into the attached collector, a lot of it will spit out onto the carpet when you bump a wall or piece of furniture. it would always seem to do it when a Client was watching, or someone was walking by. and it wasn't doing it because the collector was full. bad design i guess.?.

Things like poorly designed triggers can really mess up a hand. The t-Rex has a similar problem with the safety release, unless he finally changed it.

I would modify that pull ring to a bicycle brake lever mounted under the main handle. Length and tension would be adjustable and you'd have no strain.

Do they call that molasses? or Slow as molasses?
J/K it does "appear" to be doing a fine job.

Nate, You have to get handy when you can't afford a new machine every time, so yes, I can change a pump. Ron, it does spit out wads of stuff if the recovery belts are not on. In residential carpets they can become impressive.
Rick, in all seriousness, the zipper or Cimex is much faster. But this machine lets us scrub anything from shag to slate and the versatility makes it a godsend. I suppose the other CRBs do as well, but this is the one I found on Craigslist first.

A shame we don't use 220 v like most of the world. We would have different machines available.

No, I thought that was the ChemStractor ? I have never been happy with encap only on commercial carpet.
