Who has the best Shampoo brush for my 175?

[Mikey P]

I've tried the Adjust a Glides and it would barely move. Either I had too stiff a bristle or they just suck.

These others on Jon Don's site look a bit stiff as well.

I want to thank Marty for helping me see the light on this subject.

:mrgreen:

They last forever, we have some that are 30-years old. You can also send them in and have the put in new fibers when the old ones wear out.

$560.00 divided by 30-years is only $18.66 a year. :roll:

Not a brush. But, this could come in handy for encaping commercial with a 175.

We have some similar easy glide carpet brushes, and the easy glide makes it idiot proof for the average consumer so they can't rip carpet fibers out. With your 10% Mikeysboard discount, a 17" brush would only be $73.94!!



PM if anybody is interested, or I can list your discount code here. Let me know.

Thanks,

Mikey;

For somebody who knows how to break in a quality nylon brush,

extra stiff is the correct brush.

Should be ~ $100 for 17" machine w/clutch plate.

Mickey, take the adjusta glide all the way up and break it in on concrete. Try the glide set like 1/4 inch under the bristles. If that doesn't work and it is a 17 inch model, send it to me and I will break it in for you.

I agree, that brush should work fine if it's just barely showing the brushes. I had the same problem if it's adjusted to far in.

I got my Adjust a Glide form Taf.

Nobody ever told me squat about breaking it in so it got sent back.


If Larry would be more direct in what he has to sell I wouldn't have to go to his site and hunk and peck around.

Depends on what you're doing. .028 nylon would be better for working on wool rugs. We used to use the Braun Brush rebuildable brushes but found that a Malish plastic brush would last long enough to equal the cost per use of the more expensive brush, and we didn't need the accurate shampoo dispersion of the Braun.

The procedure for breaking in a brush is here somewhere.

PS: Contrary to one of the marketing "advantages" of an adjustaglide brush, you do want the bristles to splay out somewhat, or the brush will have a tendency to stick and bloom the tips of cut-pile yarns.

I never had to break in my adjust a brush. Maybe there are some with stiffer brushes.
