Do you own a Rotary Extractor Poll?

[Desk Jockey]

Oh, brother Richard!

Your money awaits you in our Lagos branch.
Just send a proof of purchase of a few worthless machines + a 22 dollars bill and it's yours.

 

[Desk Jockey]

29 REs so far and not one Trex

Larry hasn't sold any?

 

[Mikey P]

I know Demien and Appleby have them

 

[Desk Jockey]

It looks good, I like some of the features. I've heard its very aggressive.

 

[Papa John]

I recently bought a HOSS.
While on a filthy CGD carpet I was wondering if I would have been better off with a Zipper wand!?? so after about 3 nights of having a "wet dream" about the Zipper I ordered one-- wont get it until after xmas.

RX-20- Sold
Rotary Drimaster- Sold
2 head Rotavac- still have
Rotovac 360i- Sold
Rotovac 360xl- Still have
Hoss- 4 Sale

 

[Art Kelley]

I own an RX-20 but didn't count it in the poll. Heavy slow stupid not as effective as 175/wanding I tried to replace. Love my 360i, kicks butt, can also scrub and encap with pads and bonnets, scrub tile with tile head before running turbo, the only rotary you can clean stairs with.

powerglide

It's very hard to keep score. My experience has been with the venerable RX20. I could always do as good a job with simpler tools, including a 175.

Two machines are always near the top of surveys, the RV 360i and the Hoss. However each of those has been discarded by cleaners I respect.

If I have to chase the rotary with a wand or groomer you'll have to more than insult me to convince me that is the best option.

 

[Mikey P]

amazing...







Chase around?


So you want a round tool to clean corners before you'll buy one?


AND it needs to groom the marks out too?




I think the Lion will lay with the Lamb before that happens.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Yeah I miss that about the Vibra vac, it got the corners and didn't swirl the carpet. Would love to see that effect brought into the 21st Century.

 

[Russ T.]

What is this VibraVac you speak of....and is it JMA?

 

[Russ T.]

And where's Saiger's video?

 

[Mark Saiger]

No Video....but have a pic (or few)








oh heck.....I do have a video


Of the wrong thing though....

[Desk Jockey]

After reading everyone's comments I think people are getting the wrong impression.

You DON'T have to use an R.E to be a good carpet cleaner. No, you can use a variety of the many other tools that are out there to help you be a good carpet cleaner.



However you do have to use an R.E. if you want to be a GREAT carpet cleaner.






j/k
Sorry, it was my turn to stir the shit.

 

[hogjowl]

One of the things you have to learn, if you want to be an asshole, is the appropriate demeanor of an asshole. Nobody respects a half-assed asshole. So, the result of being an asshole and then apologizing for being an asshole is that people tend to think you're not good at anything else either.

 

[Desk Jockey]

LOL

I appreciate the mentoring from someone with such natural talent. I will try harder.

 

[ruff]

Do that.
And do let 39751 GBCT & 40705 CGB know your shortcomings as well!

 

[Glynn]

2 X RX20's
Rotary DriMaster
( used to have a PC Powerglide )

 

[KevinD]

amazing...

I always liked the Drimaster over any other rotary for loose rugs.

No bunching up. No overspray. You can run over the edges all the way and even get the corners.

No way. love ya, but no way.

 

[dealtimeman]

Serious this again?

 

[Mikey P]

No way. love ya, but no way.

Does he mow the lawn with shears?

 

[JS41035]

he mows it verrrry carefully

 

[Mikey P]

Lee are you coming to Florida?


Ill prove it to you there.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Lee are you coming to Florida?


Ill prove it to you there.

Yes, several of us.

 

[Mikey P]

Awesome

Dave Gill's pig has been creating a test carpet masterpiece just for you.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Sorry I'm coming without a rig or I'd take your challenge. Please don't think I don't see the value of an RE. Just as I noted earlier no one machine has come out clearly on top.

I'm leaning toward the XL or Hoss, but guys I respect have dumped each of these for reasons I may share.

Also I'm not convinced that spinning vacuum shoes are the answer, noting the CX and Zipper. I'd love to modify a Zipper with turbo tips under the hood.

One last wish, is that it clean without needing a wand in tow to detail. I know it can be done.

 

[Mikey P]

Somehow I think we'll be able to find a truckmount there for you to use...lol


Spinning shoes is ALL what its about Lee.
I own and use both the HOSS and XL. If you want me to nit pick the details with you some day, give me a call.
