How is the Rover? Will it work better then a ZIpper or water claw?
I don't have the space yet for a Centrifuge.

Has anyone used a DriEaz Rover on area rugs

Everyday is Saturday.
I would think there is light possibility for damage when the wheels turn the opposite way and that could stress the rug, maybe?

Good Point... maybe?
God! it would be so much easier If I qualified for a $1.8 million loan!--

I remember reading Lisa Wagner used one at someone's shop... I personally haven't used a Rover, but I do use the 13" zipper to extract immersed rugs... The Zipper jr. does work well, way better than my PCTI wand... I have the Randy Hyde centrifuges, and zipper front, back and front again.... It depends on if the rug is a bleeder or not... If it bleeds, don't roll and lean it....

I doubt it... She tells people to use what they have... That person's shop did water restoration and had a Rover... I'd personally use it on the back of the rug and wand the front...

I guess I should update everyone.
I bought the Rover. I use it on thick rugs to remove more water then a wand alone.. the rugs are dryer now and we have fewer redos.. it takes more time but we don't have the room for a centrifuge.

If it is a problem of having space for the centrifuge and not finances check out rug-tech.com and possibly the Rug Revolutions. Both companies have a couple different sizes may better fit your needs.
That rover has to be faster than using the water claw, no?

Anything is faster than a water claw on pit washed area rugs!

Centrum Force has different sizes and we have custom fitted lengths for more than a couple of clients. Tell us your need and your budget. I own a fab shop you know!

Our "shop" is less then 500 sq ft! A 6ft spinner would be a waste of money since most of the rugs we do are 8x10 or larger.
Yes the Rover is better and faster then the Water Claw.
A 2500 to 4000 sq ft warehouse here goes for $900k to $1.2 million. and there isn't much available in area I want to be located in. most warehouse condos wont allow us to dig up floor to install proper drainage for flooding the floor.
