Jump from 175 to an orbit, is it worth it? - jimmy43210 - 11-28-2016
I currently have a dual speed 175(i forget the other speed) and previously asked about the Mytee Eco-17 and was made aware of the Vario 2 which looks professional and priced right and have watched every online demo i could find.
I realize these units are not quite as productive as the Cimex but as far as i'm concerned they are more versatile being able to use bonnets etc. I feel showing nasty bonnets to a customers is a bonus.
Is it worth it to me to upgrade or is an orbit a significant upgrade from a 175? Or should i aim for a Cimex and use my current 175 for times when bonnet use could be a benefit?
I know this has been probably ask before, not trying to stir any pot just trying to make my dollars go farther.
Thanks for any help!!!

Any opinion would be great.
I recently got rid of my TM as it was getting up in hours and felt it's best days were behind it.
Before the TM i did bonnet cleaning with another product then switched to Release it and had a portable.
Just wondering if an orbital machine will give me a significant edge over my 175.

Quite simply; there's no comparison.
The size of the rotations and the degree of agitation is different!
A rotary machine makes a sweeping circular motion (typically 175 RPM).
The Vario Pro makes 1725 small (dime sized) orbital circles per minute.
So here's the million dollar question:
Which cleans best?
It's kind of obvious...
Make 175 large loops per minute?
Or make 1725 dime-sized orbits per minute?
At 28.75 orbits per second, an orbital will outclean a rotary!
Plus - and this is a big one!... The Vario Pro glides effortlessly over the carpet.
A rotary will torque your body. And it takes time for a new tech to master.
Add to that, the onboard spray system - and you're ready to do some serious bonnet cleaning!
And when the Vario Pro is coupled with MicroBeast Pro bonnets it's a perfect combo.
If you're looking for a machine that hits the "sweet spot", the Vario Pro is worth a look.

Thanks for that, makes a lot of sense.
