Any1 at ICE? How's Mytee's new multi-speed rotary?

[Derek]

any pic's or info on it??

 

[Art Kelley]

These are from the ICE show, I didn't go so I don't know any details about it. Looks very nice though.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

I've seen that "swoop" somewhere....

 

[Desk Jockey]

I don't understand smaller, what's the thought on having a small one?

 

[Mikey P]

Because Rotovac sell more 360i's than XL's

 

[Desk Jockey]

Never met a man that wanted a little one.

But hey what ever works for ya!


This qualifies as a dik joke to those that keep track. The month is almost over and Mike makes me meet a quota. Sorry!

To fit everywhere.........

 

[Desk Jockey]

LOL

 

[Derek]

nope i'm talking this rotary

photos courtesy of some CC'ing Facebook group. heard it might be not dual-speed but adjustable-speed...not sure if true. looking forward to the scoop!

[Mikey P]

why not shower feed?

 

[Desk Jockey]

Looks like they knocked off Rick's Vario spray system. Pay back for using the Big Boss as his pump I suppose.

 

[Bjorn]

notice the jet manifold looks like a swastika

How many different ways are there to mount a shurflo pump, tubing, and a couple spray jets?

 

[Bjorn]

I guess it's just to hard to pre spay with a pump up a rotary goes side to side I can see getting a constant even spray on the carpet

One!

Copy what the other guy did. It saves a lot of time and effort.

 

[dgardner]

I just looked (now that I already spoke) and Rick's system has only one front-mounted jet, no onboard pump (you have to hook it to an external battery sprayer) and can switch between spray and shower feed. I would say Mytees is not even close. Rick's bracket, mounting and spray head looks much more professional IMO.

 

[Bjorn]

some one re invent the oreck low boy

 

[Mikey P]

Terje in your estimation what does it cost to produce a machine like a Grumpy?

 

[Bjorn]

cant really say the big bucks are in making the first ones and then getting it right they after that if your doing it right your using CAD cutting and CNC and your production cost drop also depends on price of parts and volume purchase

 

[Larry Cobb]

I wanted to talk to John about the pricing on the 17" Grumpy ($5500)
and the 20" ERacer ($8495).
I cleaned a fair amount of carpet with the Grumpy (3 passes) to see how it turned around .
Of course there were always too many cleaners around to broach the subject . . .
Productivity was there , durability to be determined.

 

[Mikey P]

20" ERacer ($8495).

.

 

[Cleantechsk]

its 21"

and at your crazy encap rates where you live Mikey that could reach up to $2000/hour for you with that thing LOL

 

[Bjorn]

sounds like cool change to me

 

[Cleantechsk]

because some of us have large sized jobs before our golf games to get done
on board spray makes up tons of time

the mytee employee I also talked to said it was variable speed. Decent starting point for an in development machine.

 

[kingjoelking]

variable Speed 160 - 320 if I heard right.

 

[Mikey P]

Variable or two speed?


Variable would indicate an AC motor, right?

 

[kingjoelking]

Variable. Thats what the little Knob on top was for if I understood correctly.

 

[dgardner]

Variable would indicate an AC motor, right?

In order for an AC motor to be variable-speed, it has to be a 3-phase motor and be connected to a variable-frequency-drive, like this one (I have a couple of these at home):

For smaller motors (up to a couple hp) it's much more common to see a DC motor fed by a DC PWM (pulse-width-modulator) controller:
