I love the CRB.
Not so much as a stand alone residential tool, but more so as a compliment to a 175, OP or HWE. In fact, even though I'm a satisfied Orbot user (like you), if I had to buy a new machine tomorrow it would be a Vario along with a CRB.
The CRB pulls so much junk out of the carpet it's baffling. No exaggeration. It pulls out more than a vacuum for sure (sand, grit, especially hair and heavy debris) and even more than the most powerful of truckmounts. I know this because some friends and I used my CRB after they had HWE'd with one of the best machines out there. Despite the power (it really is a great TM for sure) we still yanked more crud out of the carpet.
The only draw back is that it will add time to your job. However, if you're two man cleaning with VLM (the best way, imo) then you can incorporate it without adding much additional time at all. If it's a solo tech then it's way more time added.

Hey I'd love to get some input from you on CRB machines...I've seen you mention them favorably in previous posts. I've always been intrigued by them, but never had the chance to see them run except for a few limited trade show style environments. In what ways have you found them to be best applied on the job site?
