Cleanmaster CMX20 - Hydramaster RX-20 - same thing??

[richard]

Are these the same thing are what?

 

[AshleyMckendree]

All the same, just different color/stickers

 

[Dirtmonger]

The Cleanmaster has a Chinese made motor that is problematic to my understanding. Don't think its made anymore

 

[sweendogg]

Looks to me like they are still made:

And its not an HE model.

Not much diff to me, I've the CMX 20 and no issues with the motor at all.

I think Dirtmonger is talking about the Spinmaster-an RX20 knockoff produced by another company. My friend has a CMX20 for 8 years and I cant tell any difference from my RX 20s I've had.

 

[Ron Werner]

there was a cheap version of the RX came out in 05, remember seeing it at Connections. Apparently there were a lot of problems with it.

I had a cmx20 that WAS H.E. I sold it to Ashley Mckendree. he seems to be an expert on them, hes refurb'ed a few

I believe the original CMX-20 Rotary Jet Extractor, which I have, (Serial # 3783), was made under a different label so that the non HydraMaster people could sell it.

It was manufactured by HydraMaster in the USA.

It still runs as good today as the day I bought it.

Mine differs to the ones shown in the ad in it is a slow speed model, 90 rpm as opposed to 130rpm (?).

Here's a couple of old pics from when I was going to sell it some time back.

Ooroo,

:roll:

 

[amazingcleansc]

my cmx-20 didn't look ANYTHING like that.

 

[MerCrewser]

I have some hours behind the old style low speed. A good machine, cleaned well. I miss the "window".

How do you mean David ??

It's seen a LOT of work in it's day. shiteatinggrin

Or are you talking about the self contained module ??

This has vacuum motor and and pump-out enclosed.

This allowed me to go to the top of any high rise and clean carpets without any other equipment, apart from a pre-sprayer.

Simply hook up to water supply, put waste hose into laundry tub or lavatory, etc; and hook up to power and you're in business.

As you can see, it also had drive board for pads/bonnets and a brush.

Without the power module, I would hook-up to a porty or my t/m.

And as the old '52 Ford Mercury Cruiser would say, I also miss the glass :wink:

Ooroo,

D@#% Just when I thought I knew something. LOL

 

[Ron Werner]

I know the one you mean Shorty, can't tell you who made it though

 

[Alexarz]

That is not the original RX20. I saw one about a month or so ago on Ebay and was amazed. it looked like a World War 1 tank, very primitive in design. I still have a few low speed RX20's and they were the best that Hydramaster ever made.

 

[amazingcleansc]

some of them have that "extended" design, kind of like the rotary drimaster.

 

[Alexarz]

What you are calling the "extended design" was merely the generation before the vertical motor design chassis, which is still the present version.

I beg to differ with your expertise, after all you are on home soil, & I'm half a world away. shiteatinggrin


BUT, when the model I have came on the market in Australia, (this was about 18 years ago), the high speed model was also available as well as the walk behind compact extractor that took the same heads, (okay, maybe different threads), as the other models.

IE; they all had the stadard octopus or star, the brush and the drive board that would go on each machine if the coupling was right.

At the same time, HydraMaster also brought out an lpg heated model that was self contained in a box on wheels.

This was somewhat like an ambulance guerney in that you would theoretically push it up to your van and the front legs would collapse allowing you to push the machine into the van, the rear legs would also fold when they came into contact with the van floor.

This hasn't been a moment with Brian, just one of my moments.

Ooroo,
