The Padman Trinity machine

[jeffexe]

Looking for some feedback from anyone who has used the Padman. I replaced my cimex with an orbot Vibe. I preferred the Cimex's ability to plow through any job with the Beige pads from Excellent supply.. Sure, the Vibe can run bonnet pads and is lighter, but that is not the setting in which I am working. Straight encapsulation cleaning. The Vibe tends to bog down on some commercial carpets and I do not like using their skid plate. I can go back to the Cimex, but I am always looking to improve machinery and quality of work. Besides the Padman can take larget pads thus allowing for faster cleaning with less passes or more overlapping for a better clean with same amount of passes.
Do not want a debate on how to clean carpets or discussions about bonnets vs pads etc.

Oh come on. Let us argue just a bit.

I haven't used it, so that's not what you're asking. I don't understand how paying 8k
for an op when you can put gray pads on a cimex if needed and still have your vibe too, for a lot less and get quality results.

Id be surprised if it was 10% faster than a Phoenix...
