BONZER IS COMING

[Russ T.]

Did no one ever patent the OG carpet cleaning wand?

Most cc wands look and operate in a very similar way.

I'm really just curious.

If this is because we all really like Erik so much then that's fine too. We should all be putting our money where our mouth is.

I do think it will be difficult to come close to the standard of quality Erik has set with the Zipper. I hope he sticks with his focus on quality and attention to detail.

It's the same with all hwe machines, they all squirt and suck, the principles are the same. They are all a variation of the original patents. Either the patents have expired or it is too expensive to litigate. I don't think the people behind this "Bonzer" tool (stupid name) are doing themselves any favors by releasing the fact that they are coming up with something but not telling us what it is. We are all trashing the tool before we have even seen it. Maybe it's just a trial balloon and they are just trying to gauge the market.

If he didn't defend his patent against the stryker and it was in fact a violation then his patent becomes null and void because he did not defend it. You MUST defend your patent against any and all challenges even perceived challenges (See Harris Research vs Greenglides). Why the only ones that make off patents is the attorneys unless you have a product that will sell millions.

After they send me the Bonzer I will give it an honest review. Getting people to talk about something before it's available is brilliant marketing.

You're just looking for a freebie. For a honest review, they should Send one to me first.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

I'll say this up front: I'll not participate in supporting a rip off of Erik's hard work and craftsmanship.

 

[Cleanworks]

We don't know what it is yet but they can send me one for free and I'll even let Gene borrow it.

Erik cannot do it any other way. He is hard wired that way...

That's why we all like him (and the Zipper) so much!

Oh nah.......

[Nate The Great]

Is it 6 jets?

 

[Cleanworks]

It looks as stupid as its name. How anybody can compare it to the Zipper is beyond me. I can't see how you are going to pull that easily and keep it in contact with the carpet. I'd like to see peoples impression of it who have actually used the Zipper.

 

[Russ T.]

Competition is good and healthy.

It looks very light compared to the beefy and seriously well made Zipper.

Ok so there are no rotating parts in it? It's not very "Rotovacie" of them...

It's almost going against their original marketing campaign: "push-pull" wand versus OG Rotovac.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Surprised it's not mytie blue.

 

[Bill Soukoreff]

I agree. I can't wait for his upholstery tool as well.

 

[Nate The Great]

At $1495.00 I'd just buy a Zipper for a little more $$.....

 

[Nampa Carpet Cleaning]

That Bonzer will actually help sell more Zipper Wands IMO. Not Impressed with what I see so far but maybe I am missing something ?

The Bonzer should be closers to $995 half the price of the Zipper from what I can see

 

[Rotovac]

We have had really good reviews from everyone who has used the Bonzer. The tool is different from the Zipper, lighter weight, no wheels, pivoting handle that lets you put more weight down where you need it, and its affordable to more cleaners. They both clean very well. As for quality, its made in the USA from high quality materials.

We are not expecting people to sell their Zipper and buy ours... Although we expect it to sell extremely well. I also expect this to raise Eriks game which is good for everyone.

Mikey P will have one soon to test as will a few other cleaners on this board. It will be available to ship with in a few weeks.
As with all of our products, we offer a free put it to your own test trial.

It sure is.

 

[Russ T.]

How wide is the head?

 

[Rotovac]

13"

 

[Andy]

From the webinar with Erik and Mark. Erik mentioned they tested a lighter model zipper and felt that it didn't get the carpet as dry so they put the weight back in it.

 

[Green Clean LLC]

I think that is the version he will sell to the cleaners. Of course I'm almost certain a "third party" will make aftermarket parts and wheels which will make it more useable/versatile. Hint, hint, hint.

 

[hogjowl]

No way I'm bending over to push that thing all day long. It's certainly not tall man friendly looking.
