Reactor?????

[Rambo]

I am inches away from going to Geenville, S.C. to see how one would fit in my van. I would like to hear the positive and Negs. on this unit. I know someone bought the one that went to MickyFest.

 

[cu]

i have the one you talk off...AND LOVE IT...and im using judson juice with it.... avg dry times 1hr to 1hr30min
i do apts all day and it has cut my time in the units down by 15 / 20 mins on the cleaning
the vac on the machine is awsome, im getting 240 tmp atm
im running with 2.5 hose with a 50ft 2'' whip line, greenhorn wand 14''

i dont find any down side to it , in short best tm i ever worked with.

 

[-JB-]

That would be cu.

I don't suppose we'll be hearing from him fer the next few days.

But, he'll be back.

 

[hogjowl]

OH MY! :shock:

 

[cu]

.................ahhhhhhhhhh........ahhhhhhhhhhh .ah what

 

[-JB-]

Go away ya drunk!


What? What glass house?

 

[Scott Rogers]

What wrong Ray the CBM not cutting it as a stand alone tool

Curious, why did you sell your Demon?

 

[ScottM]

I will answer that one for him.

When I worked with him 9-10 years ago, I used a Butler with the 47 blower. Now that I am back in the business with him, I insisted on a TM. I don't like any local competitor to have a tool that can possibly produce better results than I can. Plus we are already getting tile jobs, and I prefer a good TM to a portable.

 

[Fred Homan]

Cu, Did you switch over to propane or Kero on that unit?

 

[Scott Rogers]

Glad to hear that Scott. The more options the better

I would like to drop in on you guys one day in the next month or two to shoot the breeze.

I was hoping to demo that Demon, I was disappointed you guys sold it so quick.

 

[hogjowl]

Don't let him in Ray. He'll just ask for advice and then insult you before leaving.

By the way, welcome to the method of the month club.

 

[The Magician]

How you getting 240 deg??

 

[RichardnTn]

Ray, I can speak for the TM that you are thinking about buying but I saw a young man abuse one of Judson's unit and he couldn't tear it up.....Zero maintenance and upkeep.... over 4 years with an occasional oil change...
Their machines like a few others, are simple to maintain yet perform exceptionally well... Richard R

 

[cu]

no fred it still on hx . just the way it came....240 is the temp reading on the tm , i,ll try post pic,s of it tomorrow

 

[Rambo]

Thanks cu for the info. Method of the Month? I am so happy to be in that club with Marty.

CBM, OP and Steamin Demon

Scott Rogers, CBM as a stand alone method does work on light soil and very well I might add. But the CBM and followed by OP really works! We are headed toward more T&G so another truckmount becomes necessary. Steamin Demon is a good tool, I just didn't like carring hoses into the job that weighed more than the machine.

 

[hogjowl]

And more than Ray, for that matter.

 

[Scott Rogers]

I have a few CBM;s Ray, Unfortunately I dont clean lightly soiled carpet much. Mine mostly get used as pre scrubbers for both HWE and pad capping.

I have never used a Steamin Demon I was hoping to demo yours. I can see a use for them on a couple of larger jobs I have. I would probably put the hoses on a cart of some sort so weight wouldnt have been a issue.

 

[Dolly Llama]

i

in short best tm i ever worked with.

Jerry, if you don't mind sharing, what TM did you run before?
as well as what others you have "real world" cleaning experience with

Thanks

..L.T.A.

 

[Greenie]

I think I'm gonna like Scott Moody, He'll keep me from Kickin' Rambo too hard for the method of the month club, but i will have to make sure he pays full price for a Reactor to atone for past sins.

ps: Cu is just pullin' your leg on the heat, it wasn't designed to be a flame thrower, the philosophy was a 250º is worth nothing if it's in the shop or leaves you stranded on a job.

it was designed to have no sensors and diverters to go bad, never have a chance to overheat or divert 1 oz. of water, and run every day reliably while delivering ungodly vacuum and built of all stainless steel construction with 100 gal fresh and 125 gal waste.

 

[hogjowl]

So, in other words, it's the same as my TCS machine.

Why travel, Ray?

Just go to TCS.

 

[Scott Rogers]

Have you thought about one of Duanes Oxley's machines? I have one of his fire breather ones. 25/45 accelerator and it has been very reliable.

His new heat exchanger models look very intriguing too.

I have had mine over 4 years with next to no problems out of it. I also think the Kohler is a better engine then that Briggs.

Best of luck with your choice. I hope your not like Marty. He has been searching for a TM for ever. LOL

 

[Greenie]

Are you both blind?

If he was talking about a fuel burner I would have said the TCS or Doodaddy's was fine, I thought we were talking about a Reactor in the post.

ps: Scott, if you email me I'll send you the updated parts on the GH wand to bring it up to date.

 

[Scott Rogers]

Greenie I will call you monday, as I dont know what you want me to e-mail you. You have my address on file.

Duane has heat exchanger models now. They seem to be as simple as his propane unit. I will be up around Duanes in the next few weeks. and I hope to be able to put one through the paces.

 

[hogjowl]

Oh ... that explains it.

Looking for a discount.

 

[Rambo]

Marty, I've been to TCS several times and how I wanted the Chief put together, with APO and larger blower it was almost as much as the Reactor which is a heat exchanger unit. I have never been fond of propane.

[Duane Oxley]

Scott:

The Nemesis systems are only designed to accept up to a #47 blower. If I'm not mistaken, the Reactor has a larger one than that...

[hogjowl]

That's understandable Ray. I've ribbed Mike for years about not offering a heat exchange option, but I don't think he can. I suspect he has an agreement with a few of his big market suppliers not to offer an exchange unit other than theirs.

I don't think it's a long drive to South Carolina for you, is it?

Personally, for me, I'm growing tired of slide-in units. I hate having to clean the walls all the time for smoke residue. I want a clean burning, no soot, option.

Problem is, that only comes in a direct drive, and that burns more gas.
