Hi All, I have received this review from Kevin Martin of Marble Life Ltd, on the new Rocky rotary machine by Klindex
Klindex Rocky
We have just replaced all our Rotary Scrubber/ Polishers with the recently launched Klindex Rocky 17″ CPL Rotary Scrubbers.
After having used the machines on several projects, I have to say that the “Rocky” is probably one of the quietest, smoothest and most comfortable rotary scrubbers I have ever had the pleasure to use. The large wrap around handle adopted from it’s big brother the “Levighetor” is an absolute dream. It has a robust, super-strong gearbox with 3 satellite drive cog system. Unlike other machines in this class the CPL comes with a very large 18 litre tank, drive board and brush so apart from pads you simply unpack it and it’s ready to go. It is available in four different working widths 13, 17, 18 and 21″.
Klindex machines are renowned for their tough and robust construction, but a lot of thought has clearly gone into this machine with it’s huge tank and extra long power lead because as any cleaning or restoration professional will know, this means less pit stops for water or changing of power outlets. They clearly have another winner here.

Max Power: 1.5HP
Voltage: 230V Single Phase
RPM: 155
Working Width: 430mm (17″)

Marble Life Ltd. The specialist stone restoration company from Solihull has acquired the UK’s leading on-line community for tilers, and DIY enthusiasts; Tileforums.com. Since its beginnings around 2004, Tileforums has grown to become an important source of help and information for skilled and experienced tradesmen, to newly trained tile fixers and people tackling tiling jobs for the first time. I myself have been a contributor since 2006 and so I am really pleased to see the forum’s future has been secured by someone who is equally passionate about it.
Kevin Martin of Marble Life said “We are delighted to have been able to acquire the forum. It is a thriving on-line community and has been a great resource for professionals and the general public alike, for many years. We have been able to retain the existing moderating team and attract a couple of new additions, we intend to support the future of the forum and build on the great work of the original founders”
The forum offers a warm welcome to anyone interested in tiling, or in need of advice. Over time, it has built up an enviable wealth of helpful articles and topics, so if you have a tiling related question, the chances are it has already been asked and answered, several times.
