i have both machines. the Challenger can be challenging to maneuver on some carpet. the Orbot will always be easier since it is on wheels.
though a couple guys have put wheels on their Challenger as well.
but the Orbot comes with a bigger pad driver so it will clean faster.
the Orbot also needs the additional Weight Kit to clean as well as the Challenger. (without the Orbot's Weight Kit the Challenger cleans better.)
the Orbot with Weight Kit costs a bit more $ than the Challenger though.
those are the pro's and con's that i can think of. lots for you to think about. either machine can do a fine job.
