Now I'm going to throw a spanner (wrench), in the works.
I also have a spotter similar to Ricks' good one above, 'cept; mine is now about 15 years old.
Yes, the vac; motor has recently been replaced, the solution pump never.
BUT, a month or two back, I saw this neat little spotter which I bought & it's been doing splendid service ever since.
Bear in mind it IS NOT a large capacity bit of equipment, but it suits me for what I bought it for.
It only holds about 2 quarts of water & a pint (if that) of waste.
I do warranty work for a large "Protection" manufacturer.
Most calls are simply for a few little spots, and this is ideal.
It has a VERY short vac; hose which adds to the vac; suction, but limits the work that can be done, it also means that most times I hold the machine in one hand and rinse/extract with the tool in the other hand.
Very easy once you try it.
As you can see, it is very small, what you can't see is the power lead on it's own hooks at the rear, plus the two scrub/sol;/vac; head with easy change, also on their own hooks, and the vac; hose that winds around the base of the spotter, this you can see at the front.
It also has a minor heating element for the solution tank, but I usually fill with hot water if needed.
You will see a small lump in the red section under the handle, this is the on/off switch.
YES, it does look like a toy, but for small spotting jobs, I love it.
It won't be for everyone, but for some jobs it may be ideal.

I don't regret my past, I just regret the times I've wasted with the wrong people.
Take me as I am, or watch me as I go.
I'll retire when I can no longer do what I love, or I no longer love what I can do.
Stop moving, start dying........
