Anyone have a windsor icapsol machine

[steve frasier]

anyone have an opinion on Rick's new machine

 

[Brian L]

I wish he would have had one in time for Mikefest. Pretty decent price compared to a GLS. I think you should buy one and let us know how it performed.

 

[Chris Muetterties]

I'll tell you in the next week.

 

[Jimmy L]

Its "NOT" Rick's machine.

Its made by Windsor.

You can get it from any local Windsor distributor.

 

[steve frasier]

I realize who makes it and where it comes from

if you want to get smart ass about it, doesn't Castle own Windsor, Prochem, Castex, etc

so yes I seen the same machine today at local supplier with the prochem name on it, the price was $1450 but they would match Rick's price

I checked out the machine and Walt Bush was also looking at it. He felt it was a much better product then some of the other machines he had tried

Not to be a smart ass Steve but Castle doesn't own Prochem. Prochem is now a Karcher company.

 

[encapman]

Karcher purchased Castle Rock Industries last year. Castle Rock had owned Windsor, Prochem, Graco, Century, and Tecserv. Last week, Karcher announced their decision to rename/rebrand Castle Rock - "Karcher"...

These larger companies in our industry are being bought and sold like crazy!

 

[steve frasier]

I guess that settles that question

 

[Brian L]

Steve, when will we get a report on the machine? Did you have to order it or did you get to bring one home?

 

[steve frasier]

I am suppose to pick it up in the morning but I may pass at the moment.

There might be a machine out in a couple of months with a spray tank and I am curious if a machine will also be able to switch out brushes

hope to get the answers for that in the morning

the brushes that are now on the machine are about the same as a rotary shampoo brush

played around with it on some entrance matting and it stood the pile right up

probably take it out for a demo in the morning for a couple of nylon carpet jobs that will have dog and cat hair

Cobbs has a Tank and shureflo pump. also has a vac shoot and 4 differant types of brushes to swap in and out.

Cobb's is a behemoth but I like it.

 

[steve frasier]

picked it up today and used it, will post some pictures later

but happy with the machine for the price

I know some of you like Larry and that is fine, he has some good products, but I won't buy from him anymore and prefer to buy local

 

[Jimmy L]

Are you gonna buy "Rick's" machine local?

 

[steve frasier]

man, you are old and tired, go eat some brown cow/udder chocolate ice cream

what is old is new
what is new is old

blah blah blah
