Looks awesome, Encapman. I'm going to look into those as soon as I can afford one for sure. Might be pretty soon actually.

It is a great machine! Any chance of you coming up with a "cap with a valve" for draining the solution tank? You always seem to come up with great improvements to equipment and I think that would be the biggest improvement to the vibe. I already rigged my own but i'm sure yours would be better!

Can't find the vario on your website I just bought one 8 months ago. Are they no longer available?

Building the Vario required a large commitment of resources (inventory and time). We've loved the Vario from the start. It's a great orbital machine that runs smoothly and is priced affordably. However we simply can't build them at a price point to compete with the Vibe.
The Vario actually helped to stabilize the orbital pricing in the industry. Prior to the Vario, the other orbital manufacturers had prices heading north of 4 grand. Introducing the Vario at just over 2 grand caused a reaction in the industry. Within a couple of years the other manufacturers started introducing new models at the price point of the Vario. I'm happy we were able to get the industry to respond with more reasonably priced machines.
The Vario is a solid machine, and we put our heart into it. However the time has come to retire the project. It's a fiscal decision that we spent a lot of time considering. Due to the competitive nature of these machines, we're no longer planning to build new Varios. We will continue to provide support though. We'll still be here to assist everyone who purchased a Vario with any parts and service they may need.
We'd love to keep building Varios, but the numbers don't support it. So we're having to make a decision to go forward. Rather than selling the Vario, Eco-17 and Orbot Vibe - we're making a commitment to just handle the Orbot. We feel it's an excellent line that will serve our customers well. I hope this all makes sense to everyone.

Eddie, good choice, you will love the Vibe! Since it has a 17 inch drive plate, we recommend using a 19 inch Fiberplus scrub pad for general carpet cleaning.

or
https://www.excellent-supply.com/FiberPlus-MAX-Carpet-Cleaning-Pads-19-inch-Case-of-5-Commercial-Carpet-Cleaning-Supplies_p_100.html
(for more aggressive commercial looped/gluedown carpets)
As far as bonnets, we recommend 19inch or 21inch bonnets. There are a few types to consider...

(for more aggressive scrub on commercial carpets)
or

or
https://www.excellent-supply.com/SUPERZORB-Pads-Terrycloth-Bonnets-21-inch-Case-of-10-Carpet-Cleaning-Bonnets_p_87.html
(for more absorbing, less aggressive scrubbing)
Hope that helps

19" Microfiber bonnets are an ideal size for the Vibe. Microfiber scrub pads like the MicroBeast are awesome for commercial carpet. And softer microfiber bonnets like the MicroGlide are ideal for residential carpet. Or you could go with the 21" Orbot Superzorb bonnets which work well too. Microfiber bonnets and Superzorbs are my favorite options for orbital bonnet cleaning. You're gonna love the Vibe!
