Nah....hard to mix
CRB machines in your tub
and the questions I asked, some I knew were "wrong", were intended to try and squeeze the backstory from him....he/strong peeked our interest a few months back then disappeared for the most part until this JD vid
I DO still question the "real manufacturer" comment and assume its just word play since I really doubt he/strong went from working for BnC to a full fledged manufacturer of what is, in more ways than not, a duplicate of the BnC and Brush Pro machines....which are basically the same machine............HF just cut out the middleman and gets them, apparently newer/upgraded models, directly from the source
If there is any "real manufacturing" going on I would bet it is under license from the same source without any improvements you couldn't get elsewhere.
Which is why I questioned the idea of competition.
Anyway...despite all that if
JonDon is selling them I don't think I'd have an issue buying one
FROM JONDON............
but I don't see Marcus "proving himself as the real deal", any reason they would top a list, or how they are contributing to any real competition other than maybe on
initial price of the machine[/QUOTE
Well Fred that's because you can't get it through your head that smacking a sticker on machine that you are private labeling is "manufacturing". Ok Marcus how about a tour of one of your "plants." I will fly there at my expense. Maybe you could post a few pictures of your assembly line at "one of your plants". These are the same machines that the true manufacturer started putting a slightly larger motor in. There is one manufacturer that ships the units, that require some assembly into the united states so they can say MADE IN AMERICA and avoid higher import taxes, especially in Canada. Nothing different then the units Interlink and many others sell and a Strong unit, assuming they don't have old stock they are liquidating. The brush n clean guys where actually in South Africa, the Florida HQ was a mail drop. The true manufacturer was sued when they dropped Brush N clean as a distributor and opened up in their own office in South Carolina. This office is run by the Austrian manufacturer and his son moved here to handle distribution to the U.S. I met him at Connections last fall. Strong was and maybe still is attempting to sell a franchise like system for $5,000 that the major components are a Counter rotating brush and a website. Unfortunately for Strong both of these items are a commodity in today's world, and not worth $5,000. Why do people attempting to sell to carpet cleaners think we are all so very stupid and gullible ? Claiming something is patented when a simple search show NO patents are held by the "company" and now Strong claiming to be a manufacturer. Hilarious claim, but putting on a sticker and a handle that snaps on and off doesn't make you a manufacturer with multiple plants.
