Rubi Washboy deal - TilersForums.com

[hotrod]

Was browsing through Tesco direct and came across the rubi washboy set with the 2 floats and a sponge for £35 new, free standard delivery and if you spend over £100 you get £10 off £200 you get £20 off total order.
Don't know if thats useful for others putting together their kit or for anyone needing a new washboy.
cheers

Get the Karl Dahm washboy, everything else is inferior IMO

Unless they've changed the design it's pants! I got one about 6 years ago and the plastic grate sits right near the top so it's has to be virtually full of water to use it

We have introduced several new wash boys to the UK market last year. Trays - RUBI

The Rubi washboy is an accident waiting to happen with the amount of water you need in it.

Rubi UK, please look at the Karl Dahm & see how you can improve your own washboys...

Not trying to be nasty or anything, just trying to give a true perspective from a real tiler..

Karl Dahm washboy for me, great bit of kit...

 

[Spud]

looks to me like Rubi are getting their stuff made by Raimondi

Are they in China as well...:smilewinkgrin:

 

[tommyzooom]

After my rubi nippers lasted a day!!, I wouldn't touch any of their gear

 

[hillhead]

Raimondis washboy has tray too high also, it wouldn't be hard to adapt one of these washboy trays though and give it short legs etc.

 

[Andy Tiler]

I've had the Karl dahm. Now got a raimondi pullirapid nice bit of kit

 

[Jeff the tiler]

Go with Andy. Had my pullrapid for about 5 months now and it is very good. Certainly competition for the Karl Dahm in my opinion.

Rubi washboy set with 2 spongeboards on offer at CTD for about £20 plus vat. I prefer my trusty old genesis though, its given me years of good service.
