I started with a porty.
Couldn't stand it. Lugging a huge machine around, hoses everywhere, too many cords plus hose, solution line and a wand.
Ugghhhh.
Used a rotary and loopy bonnet for a bit. Settled on the Orbot.
Added the weight kit and electric sprayer a few months later. All uphill after that.
Knowing what I know now though, I would probably be just as happy with the Oreck Lowboy and add a CRB to it. Would have two great tools and still cost less than the more expensive OP machines on the market.
