Sprint assesment

I have ran the sprinter over T&G carpeting VCT, rubber floors and
rugs this week.

Only two things I found that is would like to see improved

a larger cleaning path I bet they make a model larger
and the sprayer does not hit all the way accross the brushes.
that for the most part is not a problem for me or my client because
usually i prespray then aggitate.

Other wise this machine is NAILS easy to operate everythig is easy to figure out how to ajust.

It cleaned up bathroom tiles in my car dearships in short order
same for a small area of VCT.

I cleaned one of my daycares with it Encaping and the place came out great.

Glad to hear that you like it. I agree that it would be better if the spray extended to the edges of the brush better. We are awaiting a retro-fit spray jet that will accomplish that a little better. All current Sprint owners will receive a new jet when they arrive from England (hopefully not much longer).

I find that running the machine in an overlapping V-shaped pattern like running a vacuum cleaner gives the correct degree of overlap so the edges are covered. And it's really quick to run that way. I love it because it takes about as much time and effort to run the Sprint as it does to run the vacuum cleaner. Our girls in our office can follow vacuum cleaning with a good encap cleaning in just a few minutes. And then they can run the machine over the ceramic tile too. The whole office gets a cleaning - quick and easy!

Keep us posted on how it goes for you David. Thanks for the update.

WOW thanks for the info on the Jet Rick and I did what you explained and it works greak.
Rick I cannot wait to show my client the machine on Friday I am sure he will love it.
If not no problem I'll keep it.

This machine is a winner. Did more daycare carpets with it and excellent results gain.
one other plus it the Sprint is very stingy on the solution usage.

I cannot give an exact measurment, less then two hours is all I can say so far I started the job I ended in in about 2 hours and where I started was dry

I checked one rug about 1/2 hour later (rug with a pile not Berber) and it was just to say damp.
I tell you the thing is Nails. Once I get my wife to bone up the cash we will get one for our selves
