I can answer a few of the questions

Yes you can encap with it. It is like a GLS in the fact that it has counter rotating brushes
and a tank to hold prespray.

We ordered one last week when it comes in and I try it out I will let you know how great it is. I am sure it will work fine. Same company make the Cimex

can't wait to hear your report David!

correct me if i'm wrong, but it is more like the Whittaker Rotowash than the Whittaker GLS. if so, then it is more versatile than the GLS.

thanx --- Derek.

The Sprint comes with the universal brushes. The brushes are ideal for commercial carpet, tile & grout and textured flooring. There are also brushes for softer pile carpeting.

I see the Sprint as a smaller scrubber that does a quick job cleaning smaller and confined areas. You run the Sprint like a vacuum cleaner. In fact it's about as strenuous as vacuum cleaning (in other words it's EZ!). You just push the machine forward and backward making an overlapping V shaped pattern on the carpet - just like running a vacuum. We run a Sprint here at our office to clean the carpet. And it takes us about as much time as when we run the vacuum cleaner. It's really quick to just zip over the carpet and do a quick scrub. It lives up to its name "Sprint".

Is it as aggressive as the Cimex? No. Is anything? Now is it a handy machine? You betcha! It's a scrubber that can do a respectable job of scrubbing a carpet. And it can be used on hard flooring too (it will scrub and dry the floor). And as mentioned above, it comes from Truvox - same as the Cimex, so I'm confident in the company bringing us the machine.

Is it a Hummer like the Cimex? Nope. It's is more like a little sports car. Sometimes a Hummer isn't necessary when a sports car will do the job done just fine.
