Doing a little reach out to you guys on 175's

I currently have and have always had a 17 inch 175, i always have a solution tank mounted on them and also always have the carpet brush along with a pad driver

Not much you can't do with a 175 set up that way

My problem is the dam weight of them and those small wheels they always put on them that make it hard to pull them up most stairs

since I do mainly residential i'm thinking of dropping down to a 15 or maybe even a 13 inch one that is lightweight

best i can find is a 13 inch one by Koblenz that is around 62 pounds

Anyone know of something else similar

i think you can buy big wheels for those things. that would help getting up the stairs.

well that would certainly help in pulling one up steps, but still heavy to lift in and off truck

What are you using it for? We have one that collects dust as the guy's use crb's instead.

Well i have one now, with solution tank on it, have a carpet brush for it and a pad driver

Mostly use it for carpets, sometimes for tile and grout

i've always had a 175 and always will as they are very versatile

I'm just looking for a lighter one as my current one is almost 100 pounds

A 13 inch one by Koblenz that is around 62 pounds is all i can find so far, So it looks like that will be the one I get, so now its just a matter of who has the best price

Once we got the crb's there was no turning back as they are so easy to use and do a great job.

I do also have a 15 inch CRB and love the thing, But still want to have a 175, just not one so heavy, i'm not getting any younger, LOL

13’ sanitaire is awesome. Love mine and I believe it’s under 60lbs. They don’t make them anymore but you can sometimes find them used online
