Mytee Trex

[Don336]

Local guy is selling one year old Trex for $1200. The machine looks nice and worked fine while he demoed it. How do these stand up to the Rotovac 360i performance and durability wise?

 

[Lee Stockwell]

The people who talk them up the most are trying to sell one.

Time will tell.

selling one year old Trex for $1200

Sounds like a good price. I'm not sure of who has one but I'd talk to several owners before you make your decision. Could be a great deal but you also don't want to be the guy selling a year & 1/2 old Trex for $1,000.00.

no one knows, Don
It was never a board de jour tool here like the RV, HOSS and current/most recent tool de jour, the Zipper

..L.T.A.

 

[GeneMiller]

I demoed it when it was brand new
I didn't care for the way you started it or the carbon fiber handle. It did clean very well and left the carpet as dry as any tool I've ever used. Not all electric motors are equal. I don't know what it had but it didn't bog at all.

You can buy factory demo/refurbs for 1299. Doesn't sound like such a great deal.

I've got a buddy with one out west and he loves it.

IMO - with rotaries costing 2200+ for the cheapest one, a grand seems like a great deal on ANY roto. Don't know anything about refurbished for 1200.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Low ball him at $1,000.00 Don. He will either take it or counter your offer.

I have a Trex.
It has done very well for us. Cleans very deep into pile. Swirls groom out very well.
Dry times are better than with our 360i.
Hands down the best rotary I have ever used.




The Trex Jr is 10 times better. Turns my Hydramaster into a vortex!!!

[Mikey P]

10 times better than the Big Rex?


Do me a favor, spray into a bucket or pan for one minute at 400 psi and tell me what you collect.

Im guessing one gallon.

 

[dealtimeman]

Any video of you using it Damien?

 

[Demien]

Unfortunately no video but here is the test Jr. I got to play with.
It kicked ass!
I'll be purchasing one as soon as they are available?

 

[Mikey P]

So its faster and or deeper than the full size?

Why?

Cool so its worth the $1,200.00 that he can get it for?

 

[Mikey P]

Very interested too hear why the mini is better than the bigie when its the other way around with RV.


Im not sure if DEmein has ever used a Teflon'd HOSS or RVxl, other than parking lot demos.

 

[Desk Jockey]

I don't like the look of the Mini. Its head is too long, reminiscent of the Drimasters.

I'd like to hear more about the full size. Are all the bugs worked out? No problems?



What's up with the these units? It wouldn't make sense to ever buy a new one if you can get a factory refurb for half or 1/3 of the price of new. ???

factory demo/refurbs for 1299

 

[Demien]

When I heard about the Jr. I really had no interest in it .
I have a large Trex it, works really well why would I want to step backwards to a smaller head?
The Jr. is lighter and very easily managed by one person (in and out of the truck, up large flights of stairs etc..)
It's very nimble and flushes/drys the daylights out of carpet!
The Jr. is sturdy, far better built than the 360i
I think the magic of both the Trex & the Jr is in the design and weight of the head. The air flow is fantastic.
My guys use the large on most jobs every day. They enjoy using it & it cleans much better.

I can't say a Trex is best for everyone, I will say it the best for us.

Demien
Do you have the flexing head on your machine?

 

[Mikey P]

Is it the same motor as the 360I?

Would the Vortex bog it down on thick piles?

 

[Demien]

I don't.
I've been meaning to play with the star head but haven't.
Don't really use the Trex on commercial. I think the biggest benefit is its use on glue down.

 

[Mikey P]

The Jr is about ten pounds heavier than the 360I, correct?

 

[Demien]

Different motor than the 360i
Cleaned a super thick shag and saw no bog ( with the V).
The truth is I used it quite a bit more on the hydramaster because I didn't want to let go of it.
I can't say enough how impressed I was with it.

 

[Demien]

Don't know weight, but sounds with in reason.
I think the additional weight at the head is part of the magic

 

[Larry Cobb]

Full size TRex now has steel handle . . .

Flexi-Star head for uneven CGD carpet . . .

I have not run the TRex Jr. yet , but most have reported it outcleans the RV360 models.

It will be released at ICE in a couple of weeks along with a few other surprizes.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Larry do you have any of your cleaners that have the flex head?

 

[Mikey P]

How many times was I told that I didn't know what I was talking about in regards to the carbon shaft?

 

[Mike Draper]

How many times was I told that I didn't know what I was talking about in regards to the carbon shaft?

I never heard you say anything about it.

And what about the Jr, will that be out fitted with the dreaded carbon or will it come with steel?

 

[Bjorn]

guess if you buy a rx 20 you only need one cleaning head
