19" = Commercial
15" = Residential

Go with the 19" it really shines on commercial with speed and quality.

Hi roy:

We are the Canadian distributor for Cimex, Fiber Plus pads and Releasit encapsulant. I am located in Medicine Hat, AB. If you would like any more info you can email me at rick.firstgeneral@telus.net.

The pads on pad drivers are by far the best way to go for overall cleaning. The great thing about the 19" machine is its speed and effeciency. With the Cimex you have the ability to clean both commercial carpet and tile and grout cleaning as well if you are so inclined. the Cimex also works great for stripping VC tile floor if you do that as well, so the machine is very versatile.

This board is a great place for information and some of the friendliest people you'll ever meet. Come and share often.

What about the 24"?

Does anyone own the 24" model? It seems to me that if doing large amounts of commercial this would speed up the production level MORE!

The 24" is possibly bigger than you'll need. The 19" is an ideal size for most applications. It's also priced considerably lower than the 24" model. In fact the 19" Cimex is even less expensive than the 15" model. It's a supply and demand thing. They manufacture and import container loads of the 19" machines, the other sizes dribble into the country in ones and twos.
