My job just got a whole lot fun-ner..... - Ed E - 04-22-2013
Just got my Spraybot late last week from Excellent. I have been strictly LM spin bonnet until now. I practiced on two large rooms in my home this weekend. Did a nylon sculpted (tan in color) carpet using hydrox, MF scrubber, and back over with superzorbs. Did an olefin Berber using DS2 and Fiber Plus.
The carpets look great, as I expected. What I am really giddy about is the labor productivity that I see in my future. My experience with spin bonnet is that it cleans well, but is labor intensive, and requires equipment and accessories that are often single function. It is ok in resi work, but I could never seem to be very competitive in the commercial world. I am re-arranging my truck today, anticipating all of my jobs this week will either be straight encap or padcap.
I am stoked. I really love what I do, and now I can better serve my customers, be more competitive, and hopefully make more money.
Thanks to Brian and Brenda for their solid advice, patience, and willingness to help educate me. I look forward to collaborating on this forum as well.

LOL!
Puppies and kittens, who can resist?
You spin bonnet mostly residential now? How long have you been doing it for?
You'll find that a wheels down OP is a lot easier on the back.

The difference is:
Puppies are for soiling carpet
Orbots clean carpet (HWE guys may think otherwise....)

At it for about a year. Mostly residential. Knew there had to be a better way to do the job more efficiently, and yes, stop lugging equipment up and down three level townhomes... Really want to build a commercial base though.

I agree with everything up there ^^^! I had an Orbot, then sold it. Then cried and asked myself why. Now I am the proud new owner of a new Orbot with Sprayborg!!!
I love the look of the Sprayborg, I think it looks super professional in homes, businesses, etc...Most of the time, my tank is empty anyway LOL!

Orbot is very versatile machine.......residential or commercial. Sprayborg allows you to keep moving and clean, clean, clean the carpet............
