Hey Rick what can you tell us about this new duplex machine? It looks rather interesting.

The Duplex is a nice multi-purpose scrubber. It's similar to the Sprint, in that it can be used for carpets as well as for cleaning and drying hard floors. The brush rollers feature nice dense brushes that scrub very evenly. We've had positive feedback from people who have purchased them. I'd say it's a bit more robust than the Sprint and scrubs more in line with the Brush & Clean machines.

Here is some data from their website...

Can clean virtually any floor surface

Very effective on grouted tile and rubberized floors

Also cleans carpets, hardwood, profiled ceramics

2 counter-rotating brushes that scrub the surface with aggressive action

Twin conveyors lift the dirt-filled solution from the brushes to a central recovery tank or you can choose to double scrub the area picking up the water later

Brushes and drive unit are offset, so the brushes work right up to the edge of the machine and into difficult corners

Brush options include 2 grades of black brushes for regular or aggressive scrubbing , grey is the standard all purpose brush and yellow is for sensitive carpet areas

Excellent as a replacement for bonnet cleaning or interim cleaning

Our industries best restoration machine when used in conjunction with hot water extraction
(I'd honestly question that last statement - my nod still goes to the Cimex for "best in the industry")

I agree with cimex being the best. I am kinda looking for a machine that will do a prescrub for HWE also.

Hope youre still interested in the Duplex. We use our 420 to encap ribbed carpet tiles.

Using the soft yellow brushes they achieve massive, safe agitation with a good bit of pile lift.
On this job we prefer to use a battery sprayer & prespray ahead a large section with only fresh water added to the Duplex tanks.
Turn off the wet pick-up recovery belts, continually bump the trigger to keep it well lubricated as you scrub like crazy.
Remember to always vacuum first which eliminates brush & machine damage and makes the end of the day cleanup easy.
