I LOVE that Tankless Vibe but for some reason they don't sell it anymore

It works great for big Residential and unoccupied Apartments

I bought it in 2022 for $2495

IMO it does need the Weight Kit and Malish Driver for more head weight and the Maish Driver makes it more aggressive

I use 3 weights on each side adding 24 pounds of head weight for cleaning Residential carpet and 4 weights on each side adding 32 pounds of head weight for urine jobs


Had some fun at my Apt Complex today doing two Apartments using the Vibe with Bonnet Pro Ironman Bonnets with Carpet Details and VacAway Double Trouble

And I used the WORX Sprayer with the 14'' Brush Master Pro 35 CRB first to scrub, and 10'' CRB to groom


LESS water MORE agitation !!!

Nice job!!!

I love the fact that you do not need weights for the 175!

My biceps are looking awfully small these days.

Maybe I should add some weights?

You don't have to put on all that weight on to get excellent results from Vibe but I do. I'm always looking for the best possible results and do everything possible to get them

A lot of cleaners don't use any added weight on Vibe and get excellent results

The first few years I was using Vibe I used 1-2 weights on each side but last year I started using 2-3 weights

On some Residential you gotta be careful using too much weight

Vibe just glides over the surface of the carpet. Adding weight and the Malish Driver gives it more agitation makes it more aggressive and dig deeper

Vibe has a Orbital Action and Rotary Action



TOPS Odyssey only weighs 69 pounds and gets excellent results but it has a Malish Driver and a tamping action that gives it more agitation makes it more aggressive and dig deeper without a lot of weight

Odyssey has a Orbital Action Rotary Action and a Tamping Action



But after saying all of that the key to getting the best possible results with a OP on Residential IMO is thoroughly scrubbing first with a 14'' or 15'' CRB with the proper Brushes

The CRB is doing 90% of the cleaning

The OP does scrub and adds to the cleaning but mainly is just extracting absorbing removing the dirt that's encapsulated in the Detergent with Cotton or Microfiber Bonnets



Life is BETTER when you're VLM !!!

George,
I love how you and Dwain love your Tools!

It aways impresses me with cleaners who take pride in their equipment!
