Rotovac Bonzer vs Zipper

[icleancarpetz]

Hello guy/gals…

Trying to decide which to buy. Zip or The Bonz.

Currently use PMF Mach 15, rotovac 360i & LX. Each have their respected places.

Looking at the videos for the bonz, I'm highly impressed. Seems to be less wanding fatigue then the traditional wand, gets into corners unlike either of 360's. Leaves carpets looking fantastic with the wand marks unlike the 360's.
But the production rate appears less then the 360's. I am assuming that the Bonz would be faster cleaning for residential cleaning then large commercial?
Anyone experienced with the Bonz?

Also is the Bonz safe to buy o is it still developing with improvements?

Any thoughts?

Commercial or residential?

 

[icleancarpetz]

Both.
I'm thinking The Bonz would zip (no pun intended) through residential with great results. Not so concern about speed as I am quality and resulting appearance.

 

[Mikey P]

Are you from India?

 

[icleancarpetz]

Nope. N.E.

Anyone have a 13 inch Zipper for sale? Looking for one to add to my arsenal of tools for it for residential.

Cheers,

Ed

Might I suggest you do a search & read the following posts:

Rotovac BONZER .1 cent opening bid!

Shame the auction went downhill the way it did.

Thanks Shorty but I tried but decided to jump ship…too much drama.
I'll try it again though. Thx

I'm a zipper owner. I like it a bunch. I'm not a fan of it in my customer's home. It's so much easier to throw my wand corners (mach15).

It's made for really big commercial jobs. THat's where it shines, and it's worth it also. But as far as the boozer is concerned...you'll hate the handle on it.

The shame belongs to rotovac for copying someone else's patented tool. Buy a Zipper and avoid that walk of shame.

Try them both and decide for yourself.

Both will be in St Pete

Come on down

Considering the cost of living there, that flight to India may be a good financial investment.
Marty, are you interested?

Rafael, if you enjoy and appreciate an exceptionally well made tool that you'll be able to will to your children and they to theirs, get the zipper.

 

[Bob Pruitt]

Both will be in St Pete

I'm anxious to give them both an honest evaluation at this years Mikey's Fest!

What a refreshing viewpoint Bob

having actual experience before forming an opinion is so rare nowadays

When in doubt, Bob (Dylan not Pruitt) you bozos, is always helpful:

"Preacher was talking there's a sermon he gave
He said every man's conscience is vile and depraved
You cannot depend on it to be your guide
When it's you who must keep it satisfied
It ain't easy to swallow it sticks in the throat

You damn well know that ain't the MB way

If I think it's a good tool I will say so...I may not like saying so but I will.

Shelter From The Storm"

'Twas in another lifetime one of toil and blood
When blackness was a virtue, the road was full of mud
I came in from the wilderness a creature void of form
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

And if I pass this way again you can rest assured
I'll always do my best for her on that I give my word
In a world of steel-eyed death and men who are fighting to be warm
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Not a word was spoke between us there was little risk involved
Everything up to that point had been left unresolved
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

I was burned out from exhaustion buried in the hail
Poisoned in the bushes and blown out on the trail
Hunted like a crocodile ravaged in the corn
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Suddenly I turned around and she was standing there
With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Now there's a wall between us something there's been lost
I took too much for granted, I got my signals crossed
Just to think that it all began on an uneventful morn
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Well the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount
But nothing really matters much it's doom alone that counts
And the one-eyed undertaker he blows a futile horn
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

I've heard newborn babies wailing like a mourning dove
And old men with broken teeth stranded without love
Do I understand your question man, is it hopeless and forlorn?
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

In a little hilltop village they gambled for my clothes
I bargained for salvation and she gave me a lethal dose
I offered up my innocence, I got repaid with scorn
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Well I'm living in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line
Beauty walks a razor's edge someday I'll make it mine
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

In my opinion (for what it's worth) it was a matter of time before someone at Rotovac realized that their 360i could morph into a non-directional square head wand utilizing the existing adjustable motorcycle handlebars.

My interest is in which is easier to operate in a home and sometimes movie theater, restaurant carpet.
Which power wand flushes/rinses the best at the same time recover/lift the most water considering all things equal (#4 blower)

An opinion like that isn't worth anything.
