Age and motor on 360i

[Old Coastie]

I am considering a 360i that is nearly unused, but 4 years old.

My concern is that the motor on it may not be strong enough for the brush head attachment, because didn't Rotovac come out with a larger motor recently?

Can any of you experts advise me on this? I may need to decide about it this weekend.

We use a brush head on our 360i that is over 4 years old and works great

Get it.

The 360i has more than enough torque to drive the brush head.

It's the XL, that requires the 3/4 hp to drive the brush head WITH METAL glides. I understand the XL does fine, if you stick with Teflon.

If it's anywhere close to a thousand bucks you should buy it, even 12-13 hundred.

It still works REALLY well, even without the brush head.

Thank you all. That satisfies my doubts.

If I land this, I hope it allows me more time at home!

At your age, it's not like it has to work long!

the older I's had adjustable torque settings and a few were set on low. You can crank it up if need be.


the KING!

and sell that candy wagon and score a perfectly matched 370 to go with your 360

You're using a portable so it'll be fine...

My 360i on my TM burning the motor and gets to the point it actually stops the head... Mikey says my 360i is old.. My torque setting was actually more than rotovac recommended.. So I settled to go back to my 3port head and the brush head is sitting...

Rotovac says it's not the motor or the control board... So fook it.. My 3port works fine with my TM and that's all that matters...

The brush head does work good, it just doesn't work good with my 360i... So my 3port is fine for me...
