raimondi pedalo wash boy

[nybor62]

Any prices!

about 170.00 for the lot, trust me well worth it

Considering some of the area's i tile then it has to be on my wish list.. maybe we can get TT to get some in..

i got 1 of these a few weeks ago. not too impressed with it. it does seem to hold too much water. there are 3 different spondges to choose. i took the one with the squares cut in the back. it was great at getting the thick grout off but i still had to finish it with the big hand float which you get with it. the big hand float is great, keeps clean a lot longer than my other washboy floats. wish i could have waited for delivery of a KD from Germany. I think with a little tweaking i can get it to squeze out more water. just need to find time to have a good look at it.

I was babbling on a thread about the pedalo the other day.
Ace pice of kit. I've heard rumours of the sponge holding too much water, but i've found mine brilliant for ceramics and stone..
The only badly designed part is the pole, it'll drop apart in no time, swap if for a thick broom handle stave.
I've go two of the sweepex sponge combos so one fella can emulsify the grout as the oters follows up behind washing the grout off.
For £170 its a total no brainer, you can easily grout 50m2 on your own in a few hours and you''re stood up.

might be a good back and knee saver ,but from the video would take ages to do,prolly be at home using a standard washboy.

 

[bugs183]

No way mz, its unbelievably fast.
Trust me, if you've got large areas 30m2 just get one.

I did a Google search for "pedalo" and got this:

Not quite sure how that would help with grouting, but hey...

 

[bugs183]

you could you mix the grout with the paddle!

 

[JacktheTiler]

Seen this the other day, and was thinking bout getting it.

Now I will probably if you say it really is that good.

Big Thanks

Quick question, has anyone used it on mosaics?

 

[Daveshadowman]

looks like a nice bit of kit

 

[Pebbs]

bought the pedalo last week got few extras too, free of charge which was a bonus!large bit of kit prob twice the size of a standard washboy
-first impressions is this tool will most def prove to be a sound investment only been doin small floors this week so not really reaped the benefits,it was expensive but im sure this tool will save the knees which was why i wanted it!

anyone tried the rubi squegee to grout with?

 

[bugs183]

I've tried the rubi squeegee, it's ok, i think i need to practice a bit more though with it. you need to get the grout mix just right, i used it with Bal grouts and i've swapped to mapei, so i dunno how they will perfom.
I don't think £170 is expensive at all Foggy, you wait when you get that Pedalo on a big floor, it'll pay for itself in no time!!
Don't loose the rubber bung!!!!

 

[bugs183]

Its the Pedaol you want Pebbs, it's the one that wrings out the float for you.
