Here are a couple of photos of the Bentley PRO at ICE :

Four wheels handled nicely, Downforce might be a little high, but Shawn promised to reduce it. Looked good to me for floodwork.

This is also a new Hard Surface Squeegee/Brush Tool that looked nice:

Lockhart also tested the Bentley PRO, but I'll wait for his evaluation.

Thanks for posting this thread. I have been wondering about how ICE was this year. From everything I've seen it looked pretty dead to me. Looked like a lot of vendors and Guru's but not the crowds that I've experienced in the past. Maybe it was just the live videos I was seeing made it look not so crowded. What were some of the new and innovative stuff being shown? Anything ground shaking?

Did not exhibit this year.

Did look at some electrolysis water equipment from Korea that was interesting.

Also some Probiotic cleaners that combined biosurfactants with enzyme generating microbes.

Mytee also introduced a 20" Orbital machine with larger orbit for large commercial jobs.

Some new Stainlees Steel hose reels were also displayed.

Seal-A-Door received a nice "flow" of interested attendees (helped that I was in the booth with Erik and the Zipper) as we introduced a couple of new items. One was the "Width Extender" and the other was the "Storage Pouch"; also, the zipper and large window options were very well received. The "crowd" level was significantly smaller than those at The Experience, but being able to meet so many Facebook friends face to face was a real high lite! There is a brief video of the Width Extender (Saiger "liked") at www.facebook.com/ronhunkins.

Now I'm glad I didn't go, I would have gone home with a seal-a-door. That would have been really hard to get in my bag.

The educational sessions I attended were very good ;

the marketing info panel of large Rug Cleaners had lots of innovative techniques to track,
and connect with customers.

Robert Mann always attracts a crowd.

There were many people in lines at some booths to buy equipment the last hour of the show.
I've never seen that at Experience.

We sold a fair amount without even having a booth.

Rug education is something I have an interest in. I would love to get into some classes.

We have a small electrolysis water (kangen) machine and have used it for 8 years in our house, amazing stuff.

Erik, hanging with you and Jimbo my memory is a bit foggy so I can't remember anything you and that Gal working for Mytee were talking about, but it seemed pretty spicy as I can recall?

Mikey you do miss good times, just sayin.

Great seeing you Ron! Hopefully soon we'll be able to figure out the 10' high door issue. Love the new innovations with the zipper and the extender!

This was my first ICE show, we usually go to the Experience. While this one was not as big as far as the crowds, there was definitely some great stuff there. And it was refreshing to ME to have some different people doing the educational stuff, like Ryan Kettering. At the Experience it's pretty much always the same people, and while they are excellent, I have seen some of their presentations way too many times.

And I got to see Renny Burr, Ty Cranmore and Brian Spiker!

Trinity was the biggest giveaway.
Just as a "footnote" I would mention we (Seal Canvas Products) gave away approximately $1000 worth of Seal-A-Doors. Two were in the raffle and the third one was a give-away of the display unit to a "good guy" at the end of the show! And you know what....the recipients were GENUINELY excited and appreciative!

Interesting that the only people who complain about the price of certain courses are the people that don't take them. I am sure that the arcs course is worth every penny.
