Jump in the water's fine! If u search past posts you will find I was in the same boat 7 or so months ago...changed from hwe and the whole bit....i now own a low boy w/bigboy wheels, crb,cimex,175 & small porty and lots of fans...if your doing more residential I recommend the low boy then a crb.. I like to scrub with the crb it gets down deep and pulls up stuff hwe leaves behind also scrubs the heck out of the dirt then follow up with the low boy to absorb extra soil into pads. Many jobs that are light soil I straight encap with crb run fan and post vacuum 45 minutes later...most jobs I complete are dry bone dry when I leave.as far as commercial to me cimex is king but the low boy can get the same results just may take little more time...the 175 comes out on the real nasty commercial carpets to padcap after using the cimex..i will soon replace the 175 for another lowboy so I have a commercial unit and a residential because I don't like to mix the 2 restaurants really ugly a machine imho....the porty only come out for pee and poop period....
