Those of you that have both OP and a Cimex, witch do you use on residential carpet. Does it matter if it is a cut pile or a loop?

Thanks

We use both machines and for residential, I mostly use the OP machine especially on cut pile. If there is a fair amount of berber, I'll probably bring in the Cimex.

Actually I pad capped. 398 sf of that tiny nub-nap. And 200 sf of level loop all residential. I believe i need sprayer lessons. I used 6 gallons of rtu juice on these carpets.

It seems the juice was drying up as fast as i was putting it down. Could it be the tip i use? 3-1/2 gallons was gone on the 200 sf. area of loop nylon. Anyone giving lessons?

My cimex dosnt like resi carpet. Used a CRB on a Berber carpet today with awesome results though. HWE for 99.9% of residential for me. Only reason CRB'd this one was because house was a forclosure and had no Power or Water. So had to bring my own power and water.

I just don't get OP.
maybe i'm using the wrong pads but when I'm on a commercial job with OP and Cimex the OP seems like it is the most useless tool in the box.

he said residential

i call the op the eraser it's magical

It depends on the job for me.

1) If I have to go up or down stiars I use op

exception: berber up stairs or down then I use 'mex with
fiber plus pads

2) If extremely dirty, no matter what type of carpet I use 'mex with fiber plus followed by op

3) If its not too dirty op all the way

For example I had three decent sized resi jobs today

Job 1: Op the whole thing

Job 2: 'Mex downstairs with FP Pads cuz of berber, op upstairs no berber not too dirty

Job 3: Op the whole thing

...I'm tired.

Just wondering if anyone use the microfiber bonnet without a glide?

In most cases you can probably run just fine without a glide. However on very plush soft residential carpets you may want to still run a thin glide to cut down on abrasion. But you can be the judge of that as you consider the way it's running on the carpet.
