When we first saw the Eco-17 it looked like a winner. We ordered one at Excellent Supply, thinking it would be a cool addition to our product line. Unfortunately, we aren't super impressed. It's kind of awkward to work with the machine...
The pad driver falls off when you transport the machine. The spray-switches are close to the handle grips and get squeezed as you pull the machine backward. It also sprays out too much solution which tends to over-wet the carpet. And the wheels are too close together, causing the machine to feel unbalanced.
We like the quick adjusting handle. We like the price. And we like the look of the machine. But the weird issues running the machine were a deal breaker for us. Make sure you try it before you decide on it.
