Hey Rick..... - lee@deepclean.us.com - 07-16-2013
Hey Rick. I saw a pic of the new mini Orbot by Hos. The one with the 11 inch deck. Is that something your will have available in the future?
RE: Hey Rick..... - encapman - 07-16-2013
Certainly
RE: Hey Rick..... - NJP - 07-17-2013
Wow what would the cost be and how effective would it be? I love my old orbot.
RE: Hey Rick..... - JuddBowers - 07-18-2013
I have an Orbot. Love it! I think the mini is a waste of $$$.
RE: Hey Rick..... - Joe G - 07-18-2013
Where is this pic?
Wait, I found it on the HOS site. I sure would like to know all of the specs though; weight, motor size etc...
This could be the answer for doing small upstairs apartments.

Or a smaller lo boy if available. Something similar to the challenger. Thats the size I'm looking for.Perfect size for residential prescrub or padcap.
RE: Hey Rick..... - encapman - 07-19-2013
Then how about an Oreck Orbiter? Super small. Super light. Super inexpensive.

Rick's right about the Oreck. I have 12" one and it's a work horse. JMo Pretty reasonable priced also.
RE: Hey Rick..... - Hoss - 07-21-2013
Does the Oreck need to be ordered with an attachment to run a pad?
RE: Hey Rick..... - TheCleaningDude - 07-21-2013
You need to modify the driver.
Either strip the nubs off or peel apart the nub driver from the underlying plate.

RE: Hey Rick..... - encapman - 07-21-2013
The Orbiter comes with a pad driver. Not a great pad driver. But it'll work. I used one of these for years in our cleaning business for tight areas and stairs.

Sounds like a good tool for stairs and tight landings on staircases.
The trade off of modifying my challenger is that it's heavier now and bulkier so I have been looking at the orbiter to fill in on small areas. I wondered about the pad driver issue. Thanks for clearing that up Rick.
