    I have encapulated with a 175 before. I have a church and possibly a college to contract on this year. Two other large churches to contact. I have not heard anyone on here talk bad about Cimex. Encapulation YES. Before I place an order for a 19 in Cimex, Does anyone know of a problem with them?

    It is heavy.

    PS Plus you can hurt your back carrying your money to the bank. IF you market it right there are few things more profitable than encapsulating with a Cimex. Jeff Cutshall and I wrote a Report on how to develop commercial encapsulation routes. It is free for the reading.

    Steve took what I was going to say. Best money I ever spent was buying a Cimex.

    For the first time in 9 years of running this business...I finally stepped over to the dark side....

    what normally in the past takes me 2 days to complete I knocked out in just over a half of a day....
    Carpets look great and aside from a few learning curves at the beginning...all went smooth...

    here is one of hall ways that I did.....

    they are a great scrubber for sure ! :)
    I have one as well but just remember you are removing no soil with it where as with OP(wheels on the ground) you can achieve the exact same production rates as well as remove a ton of soil letting the cleaning product work on a minimal amount of soil vs ...all of it

    something to keep in mind
    Tons of OP manufacturers out there

    Hey Jim,
    The dark side looks pretty good doesn't it. Just got off the phone with one of our customers. He has been deliberating for 2 years about buying one. He dropped his son off at an apartment complex to do a bunch of hallways that normally take all day. They were done before lunch. 2 weeks later he peeked into the hallway expecting to see all the dirt back and it still looked great.

    Noone will ever confuse it with deep cleaning but few on the commercial side want to pay for deep cleaning. As Steve says above it is hard to get Jeff Cutshall to teach a class as he hates to turn loose of his Cimex.

    This one was the perfect candidate for using the Cimex and being my first time running one....carpets looked great....and I made the same money as if it would of normally took me the 2 days to complete the school using HWE....

    The problem is actually making a business out of it, 1 story here/there is wonderful.
    But forums are filled with magical stories...

    Not easy doing $100k a year with a cimex let alone a $million

    How many do you see for sale? That should tell you something. Either someone didn't do the work required to keep it busy or it is OLD and been abused. Looks like people tend to buy them and keep them.

    The soil is suppose to be removed by the next vacuuming. Certainly doesn't hurt to remove some during the process but that is not really the idea behind the process.

    I believe if you are using a high powered vac it does deep clean, it also protects and does a better job of restoring then HWE so I guess you could say I'm confused!

    not a bad idea for traffic lanes

    but not near the surface area of a regular machine

    just throwing other options out there for the person that hasn't purchased a machine yet
