Anyone used the the Raimondi Pedalo wash boy system. I am trying to keep off my knees more these days, old age and all that !

I've recently bought one Neale, not used it yet but will be doing at the end of the month. I can give it a review then if you can wait a couple of weeks?

Ive got the one without the squeegee thingie, still a superb bit of kit for floors , and yes it saves your back and knees .

LOL i was looking at that i think its a must have bit of kit for us now m8

I bought the Rubi squeege system and it worked great as long as the grout isnt to stiff. Not sure of its life span though. I think i will take the chance on the Pedalo.

Just gripfill a broom handle head to a sponge float and stick a broom handle on it , works for me.

I use it on open areas of flooring , works a treat and cost virtually nout.

I've had one for about 5 years now. Great bit of kit on the right job. I tend to only use it on floors 40m or more. It takes around 3 yellow builders buckets to fill it with water and although it has wheels, it's a two man lift to get it back outside to empty it. I would recommend getting the sponge with the one solid pole. I had the one that joins in the middle but I found it to be a weak point when leaning down on the pole to wash and it's not easily dismantled if you were thinking of saving space.

Hope this helps.

Same as above.you can't lift it over door thresholds on your own so you need to work out where you your going to empty it before you fill it.I tend to use the washboy for the first washdown as the pedalo doesn't quite rinse enough of the water out the sponge but it definitely saves the oLe back on the larger floors

Well ordered one now so I will see for myself.

It is heavy when full, but us young lads should be strong enough to lift it
As for the cleaning , I find it cleans really good ,without leaving much residue on the tile, like I said above I don't have the posh one ,but I squeeze it out under the rollers,and it works a treat
