I used a 175 for my first year in business. Does it clean carpet? Yes. Is it very efficient and productive? In my opinion, no. I dumped it as quick as I could, and have been considerably more profitable ever since. The quality of my finished product is significantly better as well. A CRB, orbital or Cimex are much better options for long term success, in my opinion.
