Do you think a 360i would spin a Shampoo Brush?

As much as I like it's ability to run a pad or bonnet with it's pad driver, there are times when a good quick scrubbing with a shampoo brush and a wand rinse would be nice and quick compared to a full blown Rotary Extraction and wand dry pass.

The newest 360i's have a ton of torque, and will spin the same amount of brushes on it's brush head so I don't see why not...

Most full sized rotary machines have 1.5 HP motors and gears that can take the abuse.

How many horses in the RV360i?

Why beat on such an expensive machine as opposed to a cheap expendable rotary?

Kinda like using a big TM to pressure wash as opposed to using a separate PW unit and not beating up on your TM pump.

Could be an expensive mistake.

Frank is right...cough cough cough...that tasted like shit. You can pickup a good used 175 for $100.00 on Craigslist.

Why kill your 360?

Buy a Zipper Super Spinner!

Their stock brush head has almost as much brush coverage as that pic you showed Mike. I think the i would be fine without concern of burning the motor.

You could probably run brushes all day and just budget for a motor a year. Mine is on its original motor and still running strong from a couple years of daily use.

However, the handle assembly snapped at 2 welds on my i a month or two ago. I've got to get that replaced.
