After you extract go over the same area with a dry pass in a differant pattern and you won't have the swirl marks. Also groom as you go.

the first rotovac 360 out cleaned any wand thats made today and will still outlcean any wand 175 combo in residential. I dont have a bit of shame bragging that thing up. quality wise, it was a pos, but it gave my compettion a run for its money.

I don't agree with that statement. On commercial carpet once the line is in the carpet, it is in there for good. I've dry stroked and groomed till I'm blue in the face and it doesn't fix the problem.

No way its just as Draper said about the Zipper its no fad.
A shift, its a paradigm shift. Its foolish to think the wand with its minor changes over the last 50-years is tool of choice. Look at how everything else we use has changed in time.
RE's are here to stay, they clean better those without them can come up with millions of reasons why they don't need one but the honest truth is a person, any person cannot sling a wand and expect results anywhere near that of an RE. Sure you can do things to improve your results over "just a wand", use a Cimex, CRB, 175 & floor pad but its more time & more labor just to try to equal that of an RE.
The modern RE is lighter so its easier to carry in & out of the van, yet doesn't compromise any on its effectiveness. They kick ass and are a "must have" in the residential setting.

Insulting me doesn't prove anything.
Except that you're insulting.
And we already knew that.

Richard, I totally disagree, all the RE's are a pain in the neck and arms. The power cord is always wrapped around something and they are heavier to carry than a wand. If you have the right chemistry I can clean anything with a wand.

No wand, zippy or otherwise will dig grit and crud out like ANY re will.
Convincing yourself otherwise is mearly a physical or finacial convience

Ron its ok for you to disagree.
BUT you're still WRONG!
I agree with Desk Jockey, A rotary moves around the fiber, digs out more hair, lint, sand, and cleans nearly 360 degrees of the fiber, a wand cannot dig out some of the heavy soils because it has to spray threw the fiber to rinse out the deep down stuff which means you would have to either use a crb to dig out the crap or crank your pressure way up to literally blow out the soil. i will stick with my rotaries. and avoid the over wetting, and problems that it brings.

It still comes down to the user of the tool.... The more experience you have using a tool, you learn the limitations/benefits of said tool.... A seasoned pro at using an RE will know when to use it and when not too.... I know it's not rocket science, just clean carpet...

Yeah, but if you prescrub with a 175 and rinse with a Zipper, you don't have swirls in the carpet that won't come out.
And that is what this tread is about.

Zipper at 12 flow and 600 psi- 210 at the van.
Ti- wand with 9 flow and 500 psi- 220 at the van.
Tile spinner with who knows what flow and 1000 psi- 23o at the van.
So hot we need gloves to handle the tools.
