New 175

[Lyman]

First job tonite with the new 175. Scrubbed, rinsed, and post padded. I am amazed on the post padding. The price was rite and it runs great. Thanks mikey for the 175 advice and out of character for the 125 advice.

I have one of those.

A steal at $399.

Where might a person find one of those for $399 if I may ask?

$399 ?? Holy Cow!! My local Odorite disty near me sells a 1.5hp 175 for $1100 plus driver. At that price I'll keep my antique 16in 1hp Mercury for another million years.

Was this a close out price or a return?

How heavy?

 

[Lyman]

Brand new, 10 year on housing, 5 year on motor, 3 years on triple steal gears, weight about 85. It is so much easier to get in and out of the van then the cimex. Pad driver is extra at 50.

175

Is that a 17" or 20"? Besides it being lighter than your Cimex, how well does it perform prescrubbing carpets for you with the brush? Can you add a tank if you wanted to?

I like the look of the chrome.
Great deal without a doubt! Congratulations

I scrubbed 3 commercial jobs this weekend with ricky g pads{all that came in} and post padded with better results then scrubbing with the mex. And my back doesn't hurt picking this up.

Why does ANYBODY put the handle release lever on the bottom of the machine?

Stupid, stupid, stupid!
