Being a Chavez, I am sure he would not have to look too far to find a sharp enough edged weapon.
Probably already has one hidden in his shoe or tucked into his cheek.

I have a King Cobra porty. I do use it for power washing restrooms. A lot of times it’s just not conducive to be stretching out hoses in an atrium of a church facility with people running around like crazy. Or an assisted living center. You look at the situation, and determine the best tool.

By the way, I actually stripped and waxed a floor with a helper yesterday.
3,540 sq. Ft in a daycare. I’d slit my wrist again if I had to do that everyday!!!

That was prior to my cutting my hair.
In the 70's my hair was almost that long. It looked just as nasty too.

OK, allow me to sum up what I read; a quick over-view:
ALL gasoline TM's are Great
ALL electric PORTABLES are Bad
Terrific and well thought out conclusion!

You're still ugly. Cutting your hair didn't help.

Ask so much that if they agree you can't say no.
I have Ofer to thank for helping us raise our porty pricing to the point that the techs aren't whining anymore, and of all the work we've done in high-rises since the price increase we've had one complaint. She called back to book the job later in the day, as she couldn't find anyone else that would even come to her building.
Then you aren't charging enough. I do strip and wax at a minimum of $1 A square to ease the pain of doing it. I'm doing one today at 1.50 because it's a laundry room and they move the machines. Pain in the ass tax.

I often average $200 per hour with a portable. I have been averaging $300 per hour with my sprayborg lately. How many guys exceed that with a truckmount?Finally he gets It! It's not like portables are worthless. I mean they do some things great.

Awesome!
Proof even an OP machine out clean Mr Dust Collector.
$200.00 isn't enough to suffer a porty.
Fook NO!

US or Canadian? Good either way but even better if Canadian dollar.
So far I have had to use the portable very little. Way more work so it is justified to charge way more money.

Canadian Bob. I agree with you, the more work it is, the more you have to charge. What the customer doesn't see, is the prep work you do prior to arriving at the job.
Yup... Dont know why people keeping knocking on the portable and vlm...good money and higher revenue..

Lol. I charge plenty and get plenty. If I had to do any one thing everyday no matter what, at 66 it would be awful. Porty, truckmount, strip and wax, rider scrubber, manage employees, blah blah blah!!! But all of it beats daytime tv
