Marty is not a tool, Grasshopper. He's a state of mind.

And Jimmy, I like the "infomercials", they are done in good taste and bring to my attention the existence and availability of new products. Rick and Reg and most other manufacturers and suppliers here are respectful and provide a good and valuable service. Their presence is appreciated.

I like the manufacturers here to. Much better than reading that fine print.

Some where on the "Dark Web" these so called "Encapsulators" share their filthy perverted videos of "Encapsulation Porn". They share it, hoard it.............look at it for hours................they touch themselves over and over again. Using that polymer laced scampoo they rub their hands and other parts of their body with it. They blindly follow their "Dark Web" master (Look at that face!) THERE HAS TO BE SOMEONE TO STEP UP AND STOP THESE PERVERSIONS!

AND I AM THAT HERO!

BUNCH OF HERD FOLLOWERS!

My question is will the Rotovac motion be the same problem for your back that the 175 gives you...

However I am a master at Agitation---Not carpet, agitating people,

The simple little Orek Orbiter is awesome for stairs and traffic lanes---and Cheap and Light---Often available on craigslist for $100-150 and they are $350 ish new. I know Goomer and some others swear by this machine, cheap, light and effective especially with the pad attachment and the red floor pads.

The two head Koblenz with a tank works well also about $250 new. Putting down some stronger prespray only where you need it.

Saiger loves him his 10 inch CRB. ---$2k???

The Vario from Excellent supply is about the same weight as a 175 but the motion is like running a lawn mower.... $2k?

OOOPs I forgot this thread is suppose to be about Music Now...

Saw a Bissell OP machine -looks like the Oreck with a tank on it for $500 on some website.

Rick, I've used an Electrolux for prescrubbing. It worked pretty well, but transporting it on that damty tray is a pain. Now I use a 175 and a Nacecare Hydrowasher to agitate and scrub. Just oodles more productivity.

I'll sell it to you for a healthy profit if you like...

Not sure how I missed this whole conversation although I've been in severe pain for the last few days (thanks to lifting my 175) and spent yesterday getting my back injection and heavily sedated.
The 175 is too heavy for me to lug around and it's getting harder for me to control. The Rotovac 360i is so much lighter I can pick it up easily and control it much better. I like that I can encap, clean tile and grout, agitate and extract with it. Due to my money situation I had to choose a tool that would do as much as possible and would be best for my back. I actually ordered my Rotovac tonight. I am very excited! I got the 4 slot head ( was told my machine should do fine with it and if not I could swap with the 3 port), and the carpet brush head as well. I will add on the other heads as I can afford them.

I Zippered a flooring showroom tonight and even being in severe pain was able to do it....funny story...the owner showed me an area and told me there was goat pee. I thought he was kidding, he wasn't! One of the employees has a Pygmy goat and brought him to work one day and he was so excited he peed!
I used the crb to scrub that LVT and it went great!

Hire another female, someone looking for a part-time job with flexible hours. This would put you in the unique position of having an all female crew to serve all the man-haters out there (like my wife) who don't want strange men in their home.

Don't forget to pay the female helper 30% less than what you would be willing to pay a male helper because that is the American way.

Kellie, once you've logged some hours with the RV, please let us know what your likes and dislikes are.

That back problem is some serious stuff. Do you do any core strengthening exercises? It really helps me when I can make a commitment to do them. Which means getting my butt off MB in the morning and doing the exercises instead. Yuck.

But once I do, it does feel better.

Hahaha! That was awesome!
As long as there is one woman on the job, those man haters seem to be less concerned.
As for pay...if they wanna get paid like a man they better work like one! And I don't care if they have cramps or not! Lol!
I tried a female helper once. There was always some last minute excuse like "the school called, I have to pick up my son" or " my daughter was up all night puking".
Nah......I'm good on that. I will hire a young go getter guy.

(Disclaimer.....this post is not putting any women down, unless you are one that doesn't want to work. I just cannot seem to find any that do! I know there are many out there who can kick some carpets ass and to you ladies I extend my best thoughts and wishes. You are a rare breed!)

But once I do, it does feel better.
I have been doing PT, and core strengthening for 7 years now. I do slack off occasionally, and then I get back to it. I have a whole gym set up with an elliptical as well. The problem is, the pain is mostly discogenic. They did a discography and I was literally howling in agony whenever they pressurized the 3 discs. And that was under extremely heavy sedation. The doc told me that there is nothing that can be done about my discs because the ensuing CT scan showed that the tears are too far gone for non invasive laser repair. 3 level fusion is the only option and insurance won't approve it because none of my nerves are dangerously impinged. At times I tweak it wrong and the nerves are agonizing (like all this week). So I do my PT, take pain meds, and just keep working.
The good news is that of this last injection doesn't work he is going to order a new MRI and try to get approval.
If I end up getting the surgery, (whichever level is the worst) my cousin is going to come out here from Jersey and work for me for however long it takes.
I have really strong arms, kinda manly actually...lol, so I use my arms and legs as much as possible.
I feel really confident and optimistic that between my Zipper and the RV I will be much better off, and I will definitely be posting my thoughts on it!
