20 inch too big for resieldential? How about the Bissel BGEM 9000? Its 12 inch. I would get 14 inch pads and bonnets.
20in too big for residential
17in is max for residential
13in is ideal for residential
Oreck/Bissel bgem is awesome for small jobs/appartments in some instances
BUT that shampoo/feed tank on the BGEMBissel is useless/too small for commercial residential....more designed for a housewife in residential settings
The oreck is essentially a homeowner machine that can be quite useful in a commercial setting. I use my oreck with a blue brush for scrubbing in/shampooing my prespray nearly everyday
I rarely use it anymore for VLM in high rise appartments...found it wasn’t fast enough or heavy enough to cut it. It did ok... but now I have a 13in 175 with a shampoo/gravity feed tank it kills the oreck
END OF THE DAY
If VLM was my only option and I could choose either :
the bissel BGEM
or
a 13in 175
The 13in 175 -with blue/red pads, a soft and hard brush, white cotton/blue micro/blue stripe microfibre pads is the much better option
Hands down!!!! You can actually operate a business with just that....
Couldn’t run a business just with the bissel/oreck
