With my V I still do lots of vac passes, I still do several cleaning passes
Adam: After having cleaned over 25,000 houses with other TMs, and only a couple with the V, I noticed that more work could be done with the V's more powerful vacuum. If you are like the majority of cleaners that average 5 hours a day of wanding, then you may move the wand 15,000 strokes a day. If half of those stokes are drying strokes, and because of
superior vacuum you could cut down on even 10% of them, you would save 750 strokes a day. Now that is only 15 minutes right? No be deal right? But watch what happens over the course of a year if you work 300 days a year:
300 days X 15 minutes = 4500 minutes or 75 hours
Now most of us claim we make at least $100/hr when our TM is running right? See what 15 minutes costs you per year?
75 hours X $100/hr+ = minimum $7500/yr
Not done yet though. A V is probably going to last you 10 years minimum, so the savings over the 10 years is more than most imagine:
$7500/yr X 10 years = $75,000
So the savings in efficiency are almost enough to pay for the entire system over 10 years. But since the premium to buy it in the first place is not more than $25,000 over what you would pay for a lesser system, you are really about $50,000 ahead over the 10 years! But that is just if this machine reduces your wand strokes on the dry passes 10%. I think it does the same on the cleaning strokes as well. If I am right on that, you save another $75,000 and are ahead $125,000 over the 10 years.
You get the point here: A V does not cost you money, it makes you/saves you money. The only way it wont is if you don't stay busy using it.
