When did you buy your 1st Cimex? - Derek - 10-18-2012
i think a few people who still post here have me beat.
bought my 1st Cimex from Rick. I had to check email records for the exact date: 5-5-2004 is when Rick sent me the Estes tracking #.
i have a spare Cimex in the van at all times for a backup. i bought it used. i really need to sell the original off and buy a new backup from Rick. from then on i should buy a new one every 3-4 years to keep them looking presentable to clients, and sell the old one on Craigslist. the only problem with that is, i hate for other local CC'ers to own them
seriously lol.so on what date did you buy your 1st Cimex?

Derek,
I think you have me beat. I am thinking my first one was in 2005 maybe 2004. I read an article by Rick in a trade magazine and called him up. Over the course of the next week or so I called Rick many times and finally he said he would ship it to me for a 7 day trial. If I didn't like it, then I could return it. I would just have to pay for the chemical and the pads. Sounded like a good deal to me. Then when I got it, about half way through the first job, I knew it was mine. Now I have two. You can usually see us using them on our rug cleaning webcam on our website.

Became a Dist. for Cimex in the '90s after being introduced to them by Ed York. Have owned every machine they made including their escalator cleaning machine. I am no longer a Dist. and my friend Rick does an "excellent " job.

[attachment=23]Inherited mine from my dad who got it back in 1984. I do need to buy the newer one for back up.

My memory doesn't go back far enough.
Not that I bought mine a long time ago, it just that my memory has bad back-up.
Must only be about nine years ago though.
Rick should remember, it was the 2nd last Connections at The Riviera. Or maybe the third last.

I bought my first one 8 or nine yrs ago . Bought a second used one. A couple years ago. Just sold the original a couple months ago. As I had seen several barely used ones on Craigslist. Called them ....sold already. Will be getting another one soon..

This summer and loving it, the cleaning power is a revelation to me. Even better Ricks now got a distributor this side of the pond.

I just looked at the paperwork purchased from Rick, date 11/01/2004 in addition we bought a Hoover conquest that we still use daily the best vacuum I ever owned.

I got my first Cimex, a 15 incher, in 1994 or 5. It was 1 1/2 years old. I still use it when two machines are needed.
RE: When did you buy your 1st Cimex? - Derek - 10-31-2012
old timer! hi Mark.
back in '95 what were you using the Cimex for? and if for carpet, what cleaning solution were you using?
