These are from the ICE show, I didn't go so I don't know any details about it. Looks very nice though.

Never met a man that wanted a little one.

This qualifies as a dik joke to those that keep track. The month is almost over and Mike makes me meet a quota. Sorry!

Looks like they knocked off Rick's Vario spray system. Pay back for using the Big Boss as his pump I suppose.

I guess it's just to hard to pre spay with a pump up a rotary goes side to side I can see getting a constant even spray on the carpet

I just looked (now that I already spoke) and Rick's system has only one front-mounted jet, no onboard pump (you have to hook it to an external battery sprayer) and can switch between spray and shower feed. I would say Mytees is not even close. Rick's bracket, mounting and spray head looks much more professional IMO.

Terje in your estimation what does it cost to produce a machine like a Grumpy?

cant really say the big bucks are in making the first ones and then getting it right they after that if your doing it right your using CAD cutting and CNC and your production cost drop also depends on price of parts and volume purchase

I wanted to talk to John about the pricing on the 17" Grumpy ($5500)
and the 20" ERacer ($8495).
I cleaned a fair amount of carpet with the Grumpy (3 passes) to see how it turned around .
Of course there were always too many cleaners around to broach the subject . . .
Productivity was there , durability to be determined.

because some of us have large sized jobs before our golf games to get done
on board spray makes up tons of time
the mytee employee I also talked to said it was variable speed. Decent starting point for an in development machine.

variable Speed 160 - 320 if I heard right.

Variable or two speed?
Variable would indicate an AC motor, right?

Variable. Thats what the little Knob on top was for if I understood correctly.

In order for an AC motor to be variable-speed, it has to be a 3-phase motor and be connected to a variable-frequency-drive, like this one (I have a couple of these at home):
For smaller motors (up to a couple hp) it's much more common to see a DC motor fed by a DC PWM (pulse-width-modulator) controller:
