I was just reading about this new machine in a cleaning article. Has anyone seen it
in action? Does anyone know anything more about it? It looks pretty interesting.

This machine is very interesting. I use a rotary for my residential with bonnets and I have a 3 gallon sprayer that i use for spraying everything prior to cleaning it. This would save me time but my question is i often feel its nice to let the cleaner break down the dirt before i go over the carpet with the bonnets. I still LOVE my cimex, i dont think i can give up that machine for this new one happy.gif

They argue that it is safer than the cimex cause its lighter. I bet you cant let go of the handle as you could with the cimex. And the wait of the cimex is actually a compliment to the counter rotating heads and it agitation. I do like the optional spray system and shower feed.

Better is the end afterward of a matter than its beginning.

Forget spray systems with plush carpet. You need the dwell time.

exactly what George said.

no dwell time will give you poor results. at least give it 10 minutes...i prefer 14.

Thanks to everyone who responded. It does look like a over rated
175 rotary. Wow the price is out there imo!!!!!!!!

I think it is a very cool and unique twist for a low moisture machine. Designed from the ground up for carpet cleaning. All parts are very high quality. All stainless steel hardware with a powder coated and clear coated aluminum base. The dual solution dispensing system is genius. You can literally put the solution on auto pilot for large commercial work.

The appearance is a real attention getter, like my Orbot that I bought from Rick.

My new one should be delivered wednesday. Lookin forward to it.

Well I agree. It does have some heavy duty parts but not worth the money. I would buy another orbot from Rick before I would even think of that machine. Ceaper also! LOL!!!!

The subject of cost is a relative issue. My Orbot has generated about $200,000 in 3 years. Not a bad return on a $3,000 investment. The Mini Max will be the same way. I like to get unique, neat looking machines. They make you look professional and also give the customer the impression you are using a machine that they could never get their hands on.

I like it when a customer says, "WoW", "I bet that thing cost a pretty penny"! Then I get to say "Yep, they don't give the good stuff away".

I've got over $9,000 invested in lawn equipment to maintain my yard and that investment makes me nothing.

It's all in perspective.
