There are some new soft brushes. I haven't run them myself, but I've heard good feedback from a few the folks who are using the new soft brushes.

iCapsol Brushes & sprayer

February 29 2008, 11:12 AM 

Have they come out with more agressive brushes for it yet? I'm finding i cant pullout spots well at all, however i love the machine.

Also, i have the built in sprayer, and it never sprays evenly. Ive cleaned it and it still doesnt seem to be working right. Can I order a new one? are there different ones available?

There are 2 new brushes available, a softer yellow set and a very very hard white set. I have both of them.

The yellow are very handy for frieze's and wools. However the new hard brushes unfortunately are way too rough for any kind of carpet. I ran them on a cgd carpet remnant for a few minutes and examined the carpet after. It was ripping the fibers out of the carpet even on cgd. So it looks like the brushes will only be useful for hard surfaces.

It would be great if they came out with a new brush halfway in between the standard and the tile/grout but at this point I doubt it.

The deluxe (mine at least) sprayer came with an 01 tip (1/10 gallon/minute) which is very slow. Mine fans out reasonably well, but have to clean out the tip often even with the filter. They don't sell any other tips but I have found a place to get an 02 tip that fits just fine. I've only used it with the 02 tip once but it was nice. If you want to know where I got it let me know and I'll email you, it only costs about $12 plus a buck or two for shipping.
