I love OP.  I have 3 machines at the moment.

What is your goal?  Residential, commercial, or a mix of both?  I have a CCS Conq Breeze (15") that is about the same as the Challenger just a larger orbit (it cleans faster).  Ain't no way no how I want to use it on open commercial work.  It's purpose in life is congested areas (cubes, SMALL residential, between church pews - the Oreck gets the even smaller cubes and pews).   For general purpose use, get a 17" machine.  It is by far the most versatile size.  If you are handy, it is a snap to modify an ag sprayer to work for large commercial jobs as the sprayborg/Brute systems while holding a lot more juice.  One of the wheels on the ground (WOG) OP machines (CCS Easy Glide, Orbitec Defender, Orbot) is the easiest to operate.  With the spray system, I can do 2000 sq ft an hour with my 20" Defender.

Ok, getting redundant here but anyway, Checked out the Drysdale website and their start-up package. offers the Challenger OP and a few extras including a handheld for stairs.(looks like a car buffer). $2000 or 2200 if I want the 3/4 hp motor vs the 1/2hp. Anyone know about the challenger. Site says it's good for everything. trying to do a little research on various machines and packages before I dive in. I'm hesitant on used equipment to start because of no warranty.]]> Thu, 12 May 2011 15:53:15 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7025&PID=163445&title=challenger#163445
