RotoVac CFX Power Pod...Continuous Extraction...duel cord...duel 3 stage vacs, high velocity 5.7's, 200cfm, 140 inches of lift each, 12.5amps each, 511 air watts per vac....total of 1022 air watts.
Continuous Auto Pumpout at 6 gals per minute....comes with 50' of discharge hose....connector at end allows garden hose connection to lengthen discharge.
Size...18" long, 14" narrowing to 8" wide, 24" tall. This unit is Tiny...could be carried on a car seat next to you!!! Only weighs 40+ lbs...has a integrated carry handle....rollers on the bottom.
Water: No integrated pressure pump...does come with all the hose and a box full of connectors enabling connection to on site hot water.
No integrated Heat.
Designed for 2" hose, will accept 1.5". Comes with 25' of 1.5" zip tied to 25' of solution hose.
Additionally has 50' of low pressure solution line, and a 4' household water connection "whip".
This little unit will "suck the chrome off a bumper"...no shit...it is amazing!!! Its vac performance is almost on a par with my small, 18hp, #3 blower TM.
I ran a number of tests...I have good water pressure...75-90 psi.
I ran 50'of 2" hose...worked beautifully
I ran 100' of 2" hose...worked beautifully
I ran 25' of 1.5 hose...could not really tell a difference.
I ran 50' of 1.5 hose...could only tell a very slight difference...
I connected to a Rotovac Original...worked perfectly and left the carpet only slightly damp!!!
I connected to a 1.5" 12" 2 Jet Glided Wand...
I connected to a 1.5" 12" 2 Jet Un-Glided wand (included)
I connected to a 2" 12" 3 jet un-glided wand....
In all wands connected...performance and water recovery were excellent...I thought the 2" hose and 2" wand worked the best at recovery...but the difference if any was small.
The CFX performed flawlessly...it sucked up the water and discharged it immediately...I never had to stop cleaning for anything except to change tools.
Understand, I was perfectly willing to pan this Unit and return it if it did not meet my expectations...I have it on a 7 day full refund policy.
I will not be returning this unit...it meets and absolutely exceeds all of my expectations...it is a "fiercely powerful" porty extractor... this extractor blows the doors off my Cleanmaster Raptor R230H...and competes with my small TM.
To my way of thinking this would be "the" Porty Unit for TM backup...everybody should have one....I wish I sold these things...
I have not tested the unit in conjunction with my TM as a Vac "Booster"...maybe I can get Odin to drop by one of my jobs next week and connect to my unit to test "booster" ability...and to confirm my review of this unit...
When I went to Rotovac, they told me that I was only the 3rd or 4th guy in the country, to specify the duel cord, 3 stage vacs...so let me tell you...do not waste your time with the single cord, 2 stage vac model...it sucks about as hard as only turning on one 3 stage vac.
Ok...is the unit overpriced?...like most things Rotovac...probably...but this product is an excellent idea.. in a small, attractive, useful package...that really delivers performance.
Normal Retail...$1900
I paid ......$1735
I got all the stuff including a 12", 2 jet wand, a Detail Tool, a couple of quarts of Red Relief.
