I'm not paid to advertise Rotovac. In fact, although I would have to check to be 100%, since RV was here before my time I don't think they fall into my income column at all....but thanks for your concern. I think Erik does though.
What I do do is run a forum where I want the information to be as accurate as possible. This isn't achieved by pictures being misrepresented or by having folks who haven't EVER been miles of the product bashing it.

Facts, not speculation based on emotion..
Three very well known MBrs told me in Nashville that they liked the way the Bonzer handled in the "home" better than the Zipper. I and Erik aggreed.
The few people who chose to use a drag wand in furnished homes will love this well made tool.
Those that want to bang out commercial will be much better served with the longer reach and better drying Zipper. Most of those would be even better served with the SS.
And those cleaners wanting just better dry times in the home and not deal with carpial tunnels, should get a Devastator.
I just don't see who really needs a (well made) Bonzer

Whut about a brown knight? fookin Trump hasn't won just yet! 
OK my opinion on the Bonzer is it is Brilliant on Rotovac's part
They sell thousands of setups per year Mostly portable extractors with a 360 or even the original Two head Rotovac.
For the extractor to work properly it needs to be a two circuit extractor. With the Bonzer that is all they need. With a 360i they need a third circuit. ---Often this is the Circuit Popper.
Popping circuits is one of the the main issues while using a portable.
Rotovac is one of the best companies in this industry at re designing things they make.--- How many versions of the Rotovac head have they made? How many versions of the Rotovac itself have they made?
Most of Rotovac's market is the Non Cleaner getting into the business. The Newbie will not be comparing the Bonzer to the Zipper. They will be comparing it to a regular wand , 360i, 360XL .
Any manufacturing company needs to have a lot of margin in their product. The bonzer is competing with the Rotovac 360i for $2200, it is not competing with the Zipper which probably costs 5 times as much to manufacture.
I believe there will be more Bonzers sold in the next 5 years than Zippers by a 5 to one margin at least.
I have no relationship with Rotovac or Eric. ---in fact I know even less than the Other Richard C.... If that is possible

I agree with you Rick, the market will be flooded with Bonzer newbies trying to make it in the business, wondering why they are leaving the carpet so wet and the more astute of them will discover the 7ipper and their eyes will be opened

I think the Bonzer would be more interesting if there was a one handle option like the original twin head Rotovac. It seems light weight, probably less than the original RV rotary jet extractor. One handed operation. What do you think?
I assume the two back jets have a wider spray pattern. If not, why not add two more jets to the rear? 9 flow or plug them, your choice.

The cx 15 cAme about because of a comment I made to a Hydroforce rep a few years ago. I was looking at a sx 12 tile spinner a said too bad it couldn't be used on carpet. Then lo and behold, they come out with the cx 15. If you put adjustable wheels on a sx 12 or 15, with right glide, you would have a 7ipper copy and you could use it on tiles as well

And wasn't the SX 12 a knock off the Turbo Tool?

I'm sure many of us have run a Turbo Hybrid over a nasty carpet in the last decade.
I can think of at least two sites we left residual crop circles that showed years later. But they were CLEAN.

Did this thread drive Erik away?
I doubt it. He's probably just busy cleaning carpet and making my new handle for my zipper

"Improvements" In aircraft maintenance their called Service Bulletins (air worthyness directives if they are serious life threatening), we used to call them "fix it kits" for sh.. they didn't get right at the factory when the dam thing was built. For Rotovac it's business as usual. Amateur toys cobbed together by people who don't clean for a living and simple want to sell toys before their time. Then change things because of complaints and sell a whole new model, never really tuned it in the first place. Duh it's a knock off but seriously, from the bleacher seats you can see the difference in quality against its blueprint the Zipper.

He only visits a couple times a month.............ever

unless promoting the zipper .......or more recently trying to mitigate Bonzer's entry into the marketplace
so I doubt anything has changed. He was here last week and is still an advertiser
not that there is anything wrong with the above...................just stating the facts before another legend gets started
