I've got and used both. As far as prescrubbing I haven't noticed a difference between the two. They both agitate the prespray dispersing the cleaner and causing better soil suspension. I do like having a Crb for dry soil removal with dust collectors attached. Helps to dig out dry soil before or after prevac. However 99% my clients have clean carpets so I don't run into rat nasties very often. So if your just comparing pre agitation then the Orbiter holds it own.

CRB or Orbiter with green agitation brush? I have the Oreck but I hear so much about the CRB being so fantastic. Looking for any comparison opinions before I spend $2k - $3.5K. Thanks!
If you are not having like 3 bookings a day you are fine with the orbiter. Is slower but you are 3g richer. If you are busy then get one is much faster to work with the CRB

I average 3 jobs per day,5-6 days per week May-Nov., 2 jobs per day Dec - Mar, poss Apr. If the CRB makes them that much faster then perhaps it is justified over the CRB?

What is your second language, if it's not Russian? Rozpravate Slovensky, Cesky ? I agree 100%. It's so fulfilling to be able to communicate in many languages, it makes you feel closer to whom ever yo speak in their native language
