Didn't you say in an earlier post that you bought the Hot-Rod or were you referring to something else?
for once I'm speechless..

There has been some joking but I think most of those that have posted have been genuine opinions.
Bill doesn't need MB's stamp of approval. If he already sold 60 of them, there is a market for them. It just may not be the guy that already uses a CRB or a 175 or a Cimex to do the preconditioning. I'm betting the tool works very well but the look of an angle grinder is not one I care for so despite it having the ability to do the job and be small and convenient I would only buy it for steps and edging when encapping.
I would hope that it doesn't deter Bill any, not everyone will buy his product but that doesn't mean it won't sell. He just needs to keep marketing and those that see a value in it will buy it. After all he mentioned his market is to those not already preconditioning. He will find few of those guys here.

WHOA THERE BUDDY DEVASTATOR MAN! You have a hell of a long way to get to the higher level of a SHIT CAN TUBE!
Personally I don't use crap like that .....I use knees highs in my waste tank.
What's next with you clowns.............adapting a battery powered toothbrush for those stairs with difficult corners?
Probably a bunch of you low moisture freaks already using it!

I like the idea of a small scrubber/buffer. I'd like to see a unit like this with a cylindrical brush, maybe 6 inches wide, 3-4 inches high. Now, when someone comes out with a 12" tile cleaning head that will clean right up to a wall, (not leave that 1 inch uncleaned gap), that will be killer!
I'm going to buy one just for filtration soiling... And stairs
Hell! To most customers it looks very industrial.

When I first got on the boards, they said my Zipper looked like this. lol
Hey Jimmy, How's that tennis shoe shuffle doing for you?

Put it on a stick and I'll buy one.

You scoff at the sneaker shuffle, but my Reebok Zig Techs are perfectly designed to erase filtration soil lines
No trips to the truck or cords
No need for a makita pre polisher, just a good prespray and rotary jet extraction

I may have missed this one but .. every now and again when I pull out my 12 inch, it creates foam as I'm scrubbing .. so when using this tool for tile cleaning - I'm thinking suds or splash might creep up the motor and short it ..
has this been an issue ..

Thanks for the question;
Not a problem at all.
Our chems don't happen to foam much so can't really speak to that situation. None of our customers have reported anything like that though.
What is your "12 inch" an Oreck?
Thanks again

I, too, use knee highs in the waste tank. If fact, I just bought 2 boxes today.

I stopped having to climb in to empty the waste tank filters the day I bought my Dev. Filter. AND, I stopped having to clean out my waste tank every couple if days too!

Dude someone needs to hire you as a sales rep. Keeps the post positive. I went from laughing at your product to thinking it would be a nice aggressive way to scrub grout lines on greasy tile jobs with tons of build up.
You won't win over a lot of these guys but your not driving any away.
Like I said great example of a manufacturer on the board.

Thanks for that.
I'm just hoping to get people to keep an open mind until they get a chance to see it and use it in person.

I get mine at wall mart. They come in those little egg things. I hate it when someone gets behind me cause they think I don't have very much stuff and the checkout person has to scan each one of the 100 I'm buying.
I'm always ready with a joke for the cashier cause they're always curious what I'm using them for.
I tell them I'm a bank robber and business is good.

Bill ya know...
While I would never buy one of your gadgets I truly admire your attitude. I see you as the perfect fit in our dysfunctional family here.
I'm sure you've checked out the other forum choices by now so I'm curious where you feel most comfortable?

Never say never Mikey.
As far as "most comfortable" believe it or not there are some boards where the guys liked the tool from the beginning. So from that standpoint I didn't feel like I had to fight my way out of a corner.
But comfortable is boring. I kinda enjoy a good sparring match every once in a while.

Don't worry about it shooter, you could give away free turkeys and half of us would say no we like chicken.
Pretty much every subject is like that, carpet cleaners are a pretty independent bunch in my experience.

Bill, I get mine at Rite Aid..........if ya watch close, they'll advertise them BOGO free. I know all the clerks, so they don't give me the stink eye anymore. My only concern would be an IRS audit.....trying to explain to the G-man that yes, I do use all these knee highs for carpet cleaning waste tank filters.

After a long thread of my fielding mostly criticism of the Hot-Rod, 100% of it by people whom have never used it, I'd like to offer to lend it out free of charge (you pay to ship it back) to someone of credibility on this forum in exchange for an honest review.

Anyone interested?
