We would like to get some feedback from anyone who is using the Oreck Low Boy with the wheel kit that has also had experience with other OP machines on the market. Does it clean better or worse, slower or faster, easier or harder than other OP machines you have used? Just trying to get some real life experiences from guys actually using the machine.

When you get this little gift in the mail you're gonna say wow. We thought we had it nailed already, but as we've been developing the spray system we found that the wheels would slide a little on wet carpet. Not anymore though - now we've got it working like a charm.

A spring mod is the ticket.

nice mods you guys have made Rick! i can see myself purchasing one in the years to come when the Orbot craps out.
after the spray system is completed, do you think that you might be working on any type of weight kit?

We have considered possibly adding a weight. But frankly, I don't see where it really needs any additional weight for carpet. It scrubs extremely well on it's own merit. The head weight on the LowBoy is a little different than it is on the Orbot. There seems to be more direct pressure. My thought is that an additional weight kit for carpet may be unnecessary with this machine. It might be useful for hard floors, but I'm kinda scratching my head on it for carpet cleaning.

It's the little, fat, old, baldy bloke, with another annoying question.
Do you know if there are any plans to manufacture this machine in 220/240 volt for us down & outers??, Oops, down underers.
I'll give you until Monday for an answer.
Ta,

Hey Shorty,
We don't have that on the horizon yet. But it's a possibility. I can talk with the manufacturer, who already produces 220v equipment, and see if they might be able to pull it off.

FIVE MINUTES, that's a thirst.
Ta mate, I think I'd probably get rid of my Sprayborg for one of them.
