HYDRO-FORCE SX-15

[theden]

Anyone tried the new SX-15 for tile, grout and stone cleaning? I had an SX12 that I didn't like very much and got a Turbo Hybrid that I liked much better. Just curious how the new SX-15 works compared to the old SX-12 or the Turbo Hybrid.

I have one, many improvements over the 12

Some of the changes from the SX-12 to the SX-15:

Handle lays down flat, deck is lower. These two changes make it much easier to get under things from toe kick to tables.

A single 2" vacuum port. This increases CFM and the larger vac opening is not likely to get plugged with any debris.

Different vac port placement and design of the inside of the head creates a vortex effect with laminar air flow across the floor to dry faster.

The vacuum relief can be easily changed even with the toe of your shoe.

No tools, no hot water required to change from brush bottom to a solid plastic boot. Can be done by most folks in 1 minute.

25% larger cleaning path makes the cleaning faster.

Heavier duty design feels more solid

Had my first issue today.


The rubber/ brush ring got distorted and came loose a bit. I believe high heat made it warp. I took it off and tried to straighten it with out much luck I was able to get it back on but not easily.


I hope the production version is made of a different material.
