Did they demo it at connections or just show it off?
Wondering if any of the TMers got a chance to try it out.
Anyone?
Wuh hoppind?

I did check it out while it was operating.
The vacuum was impressive from the machine alone . . .
and it comes with a free booster.

They had it setup so you can see the vac. The vac was not bad it had more than I thought it would, but my TM have more. The biggest neg it no heat. The rep said you can run an inline one but you already need 2 separate lines for the machine, so good luck getting a 3rd or 4th one if you use the booster. Also the machine is 2.5" which is nice but the booster they sell is 2" so that should be addresses as well.
I must say Mytee is one of the better companies out there with thinking outside the box and coming up with new ideas. If I ran a portable I would be using them.

For the heat, you gonna have to get a LG heater.
Is the suction similar to the 36 blower? If the suction can be at least similar to a 45 that im running... i'd consider buying one.

I was referring to several thing that I see them doing that I do not see other companies do.
Such as:
The mufflers for the ETM and other portables that they are offer.
On the ETM they convert the 2 circuit into one to create a machine with some impressive vac for an electric unit.
The cuffs that they came out with (I do know they are very similar to cool cuffs but they are better in ways too)
I also am talking about the accessory tray that they just came out with.
I am not certain but I also thought they had the first large mouth jugs for inline sprays.
These are just some from the top of my head that came out in the last year or two. I can not think of any other company that has came up with some neat ideas like these.

Terry Brevic did that over a year ago with his Nordic TM .
"Maybe" Mytee had one in the works before that...but I'm a born skeptic
Joe was the innovator, not Mytee
Mytee is just another copycat cuff maker
good option, certainly not "innovative" ..it's been done before .
I believe US Products had wand and hose holder too
Sal's Spray Master was the first one I saw .
There is very little that's "innovative" about Mytee .
unless you consider tweeking other's innovations and marketing them as your own as "innovative ...
BTW, were there any leaky fittings on the new lectromount by the end of the show?

Mr Capitoni,
That's a good name, much better than "Meat". You are right as usual, but as usual not completely. Allow me, if you will, to provide some additional information. On the 115 volt to 230 volt conversion, It was Les Jones , of Judson fame, who invented that device. At Mytee we made a cicuit board that does it automatically. That controller existed prior to us we just made our own.
CUFF LYNX, I would have perferred to buy from Mr. Bristor, that did not work out so I made my own. I think I am the only one with the 2 1/2" to 2" swivel. Maybe yes maybe no, I don't care. I have what I have.
As far as the "big mouth" I think you beat all of us on that score. (just a joke, don't get offended)
As regards, who had it first, you sound like CD. Solomon who was smarter than both of us, said, "There is nothing new under the sun". The reality were all copying others, whether we are honest enough to admit it or not.
What I do have is a powerful little electric truckmount that has 1000 psi pump to clean carpets or grout, 70 gpm pump out for restoration work, that weighs 180 lbs, doesn't polute , break belts or burn gas. And cost $3999.00
I've tried to put as much as a could in that little package for the price. I personally think it is right for the times. It is a good unit and I will continually build on it and try to make it better.
I'm sure you have built things in your life, maybe you can share them with us sometime.

Larry,
The 'new' ideas that they came with is that they:
1) Listen to what the cleaners (aka- US) want and need. And then, pretty quickly and consistently come up with what we need.
2) Always try to improve and add new and better things.
3) Very (exceptionally) good prices.
4) Very responsive and easy to deal with company.
5) Absolutely stand behind their products.
6) Admit and fix when something goes wrong. (not give excuses like some here who have a long pattern of complaints for which there always seem to be an explanation.)
And John and all his team are top notch.
In this industry, Larry, that is a whole damn new concept.

Solid Oak and Walnut wall grouping for my office/den.
My own design
solid Oak and Walnut bar built from a pile of lumber . (weighs appx 400 pounds)
My own design
the rack for glasses that hangs over the bar
Again Walnut and oak (two of favorite woods).
Not only cause they're great looking woods, but classic and timeless too ..unlike many of the "trendy" fashions that come and go
a plain Jane junky window I dressed up in the bath rm
some unfinished "whatnot' shelves
revolver display stand of Carlo walnut ...my own design.
Leather line cradles BTW...... 8)
Got lots of guns pics that I've transformed from plain jane pea poppers to super shooters, show boys or special purpose use

Impressive list!
John it's got to make you feel good when your customers or potential customers not only recognize how hard you're working, but appreciate it too!
Nice work on the ETM, it's a good looking unit. Much better than the Mickey Mouse contraptions that one of your portable competitors has out there.
And while I hate to see you take sales from Terry because he is building a very good product too and has put a lot of effort into developing a market for a real ETM, not just a cobbled bunch of components pieced together.
However your marketing budget for the New ETM may also increase his sales along with yours by legitimizing the "Electric Truck Mount" to the industry once again.
Good luck! 8)

The ETM should be "comparable" to a #3 blower with the booster.
The 2.5" hose is fine to the booster,
from there to the wand the 2' hose is all you need.

I was wondering if the 2.5 inch hose was really of any benefit. I mean, it seems to me that a 230 cfm vacuum system (if it gets actually moves THAT much) would not benefit from a larger hose. 2 inch all the way would seem to be overkill ... but what do I know ... I'm just a redneck pigfarmer.

My thoughts on that is that if the hose run is long you have less resistance with a larger diameter hose and than reduce it close to the carpet whether it's through a wand or a rotary tool. I think the performance is better.

That's okay. Some people are just naturally grouchy. I'm glad you have thick skin. I have to tell you, you do beautiful wood work. Did you learn that in prison. The gun holder was a work of art, but what does the parole officer say about you having a gun? I just couldn't resist but i'm just messing with you. Don't take it personal.
