CRBs are WAYYYY OVER PRICED

[GregAllen]

I am struggling with the value of a CRB machine. I get it... It scrubs with counter rotating brushes, sets the nap, etc etc etc. But... For over $3,000???? I can buy NINE DEWALT 15 GALLON STAND UP COMPRESSORS for this much money, a decent used car, you name it. How much better will a CRB prescrub than a 175 rotary with a brush ring? Is it truly that much better, in terms of the visible results? Please help me get my head around this travesty of financial justice that the price of these machines appears to be.

CRB prices are absurd but you can get a Strong Dry for $1800.

I bought all my CRB machines (HOST and Brush & Clean) on ebay. Great condition machines for much less

Strong - made in China

There's crap made all over the world.

Expensive for sure but what in this industry isn't a little over priced? I'm a huge fan of brushpro and use it on most jobs. It is absolutely awesome for every household that has dogs or cats.

The sting of purchase price is quickly forgotten when you see the results daily. And you get what you pay for, my Brush Pro is super nice and well made, my friends strong dry is loose and floppy ( but still does the job)

10 months here. But I failed to follow their maintenance. So. I missed a screw being loosened, finally lodging it into the gears; causing it to strip. Replaced two gears for $44. And had them installed for $120. Still I am ahead of the brush pro price.

And I am not so sure the brush pro gears are any different. Pics are hard to come by. Almost evasive. It's like brush pro owners don't want to admit that they over bought.

A big difference between the brush pro and the strong dry machine: the brush pro can be used in a rug pit; not so with the strong machine. I mean you could, but the machine would not last as long.

Yes, Brush Pro s are only slightly better than strong Dry s. Just like Snap On is only slightly better than Stanley. I happen to be a Snap On guy.

All you gotta do is duct tape two Bissell upright vacuums back to back and you got cho self a red neck crb for under a hondo.

Yeah they gettin fat but i got one anyway

I've never used one, but looked at the Powr Flite multi wash scrubber. http://www.powr-flite.com/product/automatic-scrubber-pfmw14.do? It's a 650 rpm crb machine with a 1 gallon removable solution tank and 1 gallon recovery tank for $1400. Didn't like how none of the crb machines cleaned up to the base board, so I stuck with my 175 rpm, 1.5 hp rotary floor machines. Already have 6 of them, they're very versatile (shower fed brush, bonnet, hard flooring pads, etc) and easy to train someone on. Plus, only $600 (with pad driver) and $79 for solution tank.

Love the way my strong operates, hopefully not as "junky" as alleged

 

[Jose Holguin]

The strong dry has the front renovator windows, that's the most important feature for me. Will the strong dry renovators fit a brush pro?

No
