Quite a bit cheaper than the RX-20 now. I see they retail for 3600. RV 360i at 2200.

There is a reason why a 4.7 blower cost more than a 3.6 blower.... :wink:

I do have to say my RX has held up pretty good. I've abused the hell out of it and it still keeps going and it cleans pretty well too. That is if you're trying to say it's more heavy duty than the rotovac.....

 

[joeynbgky]

My only thing is............. mikey you still have to get out the wand and do corners and edges right? or do you just not clean them? lol Can i see a complete video from someone from.. beginning to end? even getting out the wand and doing the corners.. I think werner should make a video of it. his videos are good.. Just leave out the vacumming ron, cause we all know you can vacuum. I dont have an hour to watch you vacuuming..

 

[floorguy]

uhhh did you NOT notice who actually did that video??


go back and watch it again

 

[Ron Werner]

Dry 'n Clean did the vid.
Is he in Mike's area?

 

[Brian R]

*** vid I believe

 

[lance]

Uh ya ***

Do you guys really think that Mikey changed the name of his company to Dry and Clean?

Or that he borrowed Rob's truck to use for the day?


SUCKERS.............again........and again.........and again......

Just tried out the RV360 (Original not 360i) I got in a trade with David Moye,
It only came with the Tile and Grout head, but I took the squeegees off the vac slots...

I have to say it cleaned VERY well, the brushes added a little extra punch.
It left the carpet a little wet for my liking, but It desperately needs the 1.5" vac slot cut out and a 2" slot welded on.

Id love to get some hole glides for it, does anyone still make them besides that creepy Canadian guy?

So here is the brush head, I believe this is the original design that was known for breaking motor gears when it struck a register or transition strip too hard. Harder to control and has considerable over spray compared to the new version..

This is the pad driver that I have not tried yet..

Tile head with floating vacuum/splash guard ring, not used yet..

7 inch head for stairs. Tried it today and found it impossible to control on CGD. Maybe on a thick pile. Takes too long to install.

This is the flush master. Love it! Did two CGD today and it worked great just as dry as a Ti wand but 20 times as clean. Turn down the speed when you hit a uneven sub floor. You'll notice through the sight tube that the slower it spins, the more water you recover. Notice the L shaped vac ports, see how the leading edge ramps up? Designed so it glides over hard obstacles thus saving the geared motor

Not as beefy (over built) as the RX20 but appears to be strong enough in all areas. Time will tell.

Notice the round button on that black collar? That is what you push to release the handle adjusting rod. Very cool

this damn tool will make you feel guilty as hell if you "just" wand a traffic lane...


-40 pounds is the key 1 to it's success. Techs will actually take it off the truck.
The sight tube is number 2, with out it you'll be guessing wrong on how long to make dry passes.
#3..Works great on all piles unlike the original two headed beast.
4 will be it's longevity. If all those valves, cords and welded areas hold up they have a real winner.

What do you think about this tool?

I would bet it will outclean the 360 any day of the week. Rotating brush agitation combined with high flow jets assuming you swap them out should make for some serious performance.

I actually bought one of these with a portable before I had ever cleaned a carpet. I took it back without trying it.

I wouldn't mind trying one out with my tm.

Are you semi retarded Daniel?

[Mikey P]

[daniel@procarpet]

Just curious why it sucks?

Here is a pic of the bottom.

[dgardner]

Minimize electrical cord hassles by cutting all your cords off a foot long (Vacuum, HOST/CRB, OP, Rotary etc). Then pick your longest, slickest, high amp cord as your main cord. Plug it in to each power tools as needed. Now, there's only one cord in the way.

That's actually kind of a cool idea. If I did it though, I would make the machine to cord connection a twistlock, otherwise I'd be constantly pulling it apart...

so why would they send something that was KNOWN to break stuff??

thought they sent it to ya to try out the new stuff

 

[Mikey P]

I think they market the old style brush head for just greasy spoons now
With the new head I dont see any need for a brush.

Why did they send it?

I asked for a shampoo brush and this was all they had.

 

[floorguy]

ahhhhh

they need to fix their add with free shipping...

it expired may 31

 

[Jim Morrison]

Is the rv primarily for a 2 man crew or would it work with a one pony show?

 

[Mikey P]

far better suited for a one man show IMO

 

[floorguy]

did you answer.....better then a rx-20 or not
