Whats the oldest still working equipment you have. I,m still using a Hoover 15 gal extractor from 1982, it has the original vacs and pump. I use it mostly for water extraction with a water claw. it runs great, Atfter the job is over I always keep the motors running to dry them out, the unit shows it age like me but we still work well together. jz.

My pops has a blue extractor and Unico scrubber that he got when you bought the Rainbow franchise back in 1984. He doesn't want to part with it. I don't mind because we have space to store it. It was what fed us..... :lol: I believe it's a 2-2stage vacuums and 100psi pump. The scrubber still works but only for carpet dyeing.

I still have the Clarke C-15 I bought in 1975 when I found that my shiny new steam cleaner just wasn't enough to clean traffic lanes off. It changed everything and made me a carpet cleaning God. My girlfriend at the time freaked when I told her I spent $950 on it. She wanted me to buy an engagement ring. She's long gone but the Clarke is around and ready to go at a moments notice.

I have a little giant 2ht that's so old it's round (I'm not the original owner). Still works fine, though I've had to clean the jets a couple times.

My oldest piece of equipment was manufactured new, in March of '45, and still functions perfectly.

I also have the round 2HT Lil Giant heater. :oops:
