Love my Trex, Lighter than an RX20 and heavier than a rotohack 360.

Honestly rx20s are tanks and extremely well built
Rotovac runs smoother is well designed but the handle isn’t for me
Trex is good but doesn’t scream quality
Hoss ??????? Never used it

All rotaries are junk
Even my Clark
But they’re fairly cheap and replaceable

the best rotary is the one you dont use 99% of the time... so they all qualify

As Dan said so well (though I dispute his percentage. Its actually 99.99%)- A good Rotary's job, is to never leave the van.

Hack wins the Interwebs for 2020
for heavy urine jobs only, 360 works good its light and flushes well.
rx20 is cool but its way too bulky for residential

The longer we're at this game, the cleaner and better the clients become, assuming you're a 2%r....

My fav is still the 360i brushhead
it sits deepest in the back of the vans cuz it only gets used a couple times a week

I have owned them all. The Trex Jr is best for us.

I would say the best rotary extractor is much like the best vacuum cleaner. The best one is going to be the one that actually gets used. In my opinion you can't get much better than the 360i with the brush head. It is light, doesn't take much space in the van and performs extremely well on heavily soiled carpet. The new RX 20 apparently comes with a brush head. It's an absolute tank but it's heavy as a tank as well. The only issue with the 360i is the handles can break easily if abused. If you're careful with your equipment it shouldn't be a problem.

Personally speaking. I am a 1%-er.
There's way less than 1% chance that the rotary will find its way out of the van. Currently the dust collecting on it in the uncharted parts of my van, is 50 shades of grey

For a portyhack with automatic pump out, the 360i with brush head lets me compete in quality With anyone. Not speed, but yeah I gettum clean. And it is light enough to tote up steps.

I guess that makes me a 0.05% because I don't even carry it anymore....Personally speaking. I am a 1%-er.

I know ahead of time when I'm going into a shithole.

I have the 360i and the Hoss. The Hoss works good and sounds better than the 360i. The whiny motor on the 360i is annoying but the weight difference from the Hoss more than makes up for it. I like the Hoss, but it collects dust at the warehouse.

The RX20 is a good machine but most carpet isn't installed well enough to use it. I use the 360i on most jobs.

I know people don’t like Mytee stuff here and I get it.
That said, Mytee really did good with the T-Rex Jr.
I tried the 360 and I didn’t like it... too light and the handles suck.
It’s slow, but on piss jobs, nothing can match it.
