I think I finally nailed my "Which Glide should I buy" speech?..

[Mikey P]

If you clean a lot of cheap filthy polyester and apartments go with the Slot glide..

If your carpets are pre vacuumed and you don't own a rotary extractor, go with a Hybrid glide..

If you wear Velcro shoes, go with the Hole glide.


And with those three choices people automatically know what category they fall into...

And if you don’t like any of those glides. Make your own.

Why hybrid in lieu of a RE?

 

[hogjowl]

Because he’s mad at Rotovac

 

[Mikey P]

Why hybrid in lieu of a RE?

Idiots.


I dont clean carpet worthy of any RE anymore


I'm F'n premium!

Premium cleaners can use a Hybrid.

Some of you will learn that a RE was never needed. Slow and soaked are the 2 things that come to mind

They never get tired.

The older you get the more you realize I'm gonna get tired fast if I dont do something different.

RE help.

I would go back to the Dang or Mach 12 2” if the little SS12 didn’t didn’t perform every bit as well.

Ease of use is just icing on the cake.

19 years of experience over here.

If the carpet didn't look any better after cleaning...it was from 2 things
-crushed pile
-permanent staining from urine or dyes

Whenever the heavy soiling is present, a wand can do the same thing as a RE and faster. These distributers are good at selling, and that's about the only thing they're good at. I wonder if some of them were car salesmen before they started selling snake oil

A wand can not out flush a rotary extractor

Save your breath

No kidding

So much for ” 19 years of experience”. 16 of which were probably pulling a trailer waiting for that dream trash route to manifest itself


RE is the king of flushing for heavy traffic commercial areas off kitchens , bars and lanes


assuredly it’s slower but when your customer loves the results and can’t get them elsewhere… you can charge for it

That’s strange, I haven’t found anything that cleans nearly as good as a rotary, I get dry times that rival VLM. That said, I absolutely hate using them and rarely use mine.

What’s the benefit of the hybrid glide if I have absolutely no issues with the slot glide?

The hybrid is still living off of being Jim Martin approved.

Just seems like the air would prefer the larger slots over the holes, making the holes useless.

So the air chooses an opening?

 

[Meter Maid]

So the air chooses an opening?

I think like most things, air chooses the path of least resistance. Like water.

If you have a 2.5 inch port and a 1.5 inch port on your waste tank, which port is the vast majority of the air going to go through?
