Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)

“The Reliant is the simplest machine in the HOST lineup, and for many buildings that is the point. It is a 32 lb brush machine for pile lifting, spot and traffic lane cleaning, routine cleaning and deep restorative cleaning with HOST Dry Extraction Cleaner. Two 12 in counter-rotating brushes run at 410 rpm under load to revive matted carpet and work the cleaner through the fibers. It has no onboard vacuum, so you vacuum afterward with a conventional vacuum. That keeps the machine light and compact, which is why it works so well in confined spaces, open-plan office areas and smaller commercial and residential jobs. The handle detaches from the base so the brush unit can clean carpeted and rubberized stairs, and with the right brush it also handles grouted tile and textured floors. A 40 ft cord and a drive-on, drive-off caddy make it easy to move between jobs. HOST also says the Reliant can be upgraded to have all the features of the Freestyle, so it can grow with your carpet care program. If you want vacuuming built in from day one, start with the Freestyle.”

How HOST dry extraction works

HOST Dry Extraction Cleaner is applied to the carpet and brushed through the fibers by the Reliant’s counter-rotating brushes. Then a conventional vacuum picks up the cleaner and the soil, and the carpet can be used right away.

Questions

No. The Reliant brushes HOST Dry Extraction Cleaner through the carpet. After cleaning, vacuum with a conventional vacuum. The Freestyle and Liberator have vacuums built in.

Can it clean stairs?

Can I upgrade it later?

HOST says the Reliant can be upgraded to have all the features of the Freestyle, so you can vacuum, lift pile, clean spots and deep clean with one machine.
