I have been playing along nicely. But you are laying it on a little thick now aren't you?

Seems like recommendations are for Clark, Powr-flite. The interlink supply versa pro is supposedly good. Make sure it has a 1.5 hp motor. If I was buying one I'd want it to be lowest weight possible and still be 1.5 hp, remember you're going to have to load and unload this thing. You've got to make the decision on what you are willing to pay for. Look around make some calls. Not everything sold by companies are put on their web pages.

Do they have a scrubber with no motor and runs off the vacuum instead? That would be the shinizwah.
Lite and powerful, depening on the rig.

Do I need to patent what I just said before I post it?? Shucks too late.

we've used our turbo vac to agitate pre-spray before.
not even close compared to rotary.

you'll also need one hell of a vac to spin a rotary on carpet.
That requires quite a bit of torque.

also, weight is a benefit to a rotary.
the heavier, the more agressive the scrub

..L.T.A.

yea, I've done some scrubbing with rotarys in my day. I think that if it were made right and had the right scrubber, it could work.
It's the weight that need the torque.

Who knows?

With fuel costing what it does I'd rather plug it in and save 8 bucks an hour......one reason I prefer the battery sprayer.

How much does that bad boy weigh. If I were to use one daily for residential I'd like to see it in the 80-90 lb range. I see that most are over 100 and I'd rather just run the cimex at that weight.

No offense but that is one ugly machine. Yea that matters to me because of my customers.
But hey, if it works that's cool.
Little to heavy for me.
Little bit of a pussy, little bit efficiency.
