Look what was waiting for me when I got home! Rotovac XL! :)

[Mark Saiger]

Made it to the house....

Unloaded the truck, spent sometime with the family who came to visit (Grandson super important )

And went into the shop to get things prepped as I have not cleaned a carpet in 25 days!

And here were a couple of boxes with this bad boy....Woo....woo...

She's going to work with all my other toys today!

I didn't even wait.....got it set up and started cleaning trashed carpets in the shop!

Thanks @Rotovac for getting this out to me....

Great welcome home

WAIT... wait I think that is mine. Pack it up and send it to me please...no big deal about the mix up.


Congrats! You'll love it!

I heard yours went to Grand Rapids.....Michigan....

Happens to me all the time

Mark Saiger...in Grand Rapids MINNESOOOOOTA

 

[Desk Jockey]

LOL

I think you'll really enjoy it. All the cleaning power of the RX but without the weight. It also seems to really fluff the carpet vs pounding it flat like the RX does.

Watch the transitions and vent covers but that thing LOVES traffic areas....go get them!

 

[Steve Lawrence]

Take videos!!!

 

[Russ T.]

Saiger now officially has EVERY cool toy this industry has to offer.

Maybe I'll make the drive north...

 

[Russ T.]

...but not for a few weeks!

 

[Desk Jockey]

Where are you at Russ.....and why didn't you take me with you?

 

[Russ T.]

Vero Beach, FL to visit my mom.

Then a cruise out of Ft. Canaveral for 8 days (southern Carribean) with Mel and the boys.

Then back to Vero for a few days before heading home.

It's times like this I'm THANKFUL to be a 1 man band.

...but change is coming. Our business suffers (maybe more than I know) when we leave. We sort of answer the phone...kinda...well...not very well when we are gone.

We put in another record setting year for us. It is taxing to push like we do. So, in a way, it's GREAT for business to get away. Helps to stay fresh and keep our edge.

Mark did you get the pad driver with it?

 

[Zee]

Doc, do you guys have an XL?

 

[Desk Jockey]

Doc, do you guys have an XL?

Yes, its a nice tool to have for traffic lanes. Really refreshens them, they just pop right up again.

 

[bob vawter]

didn't Russ used to be that snot nosed little kid that showed up one day .....an listened to us all ...without having to fling our feces back lik most newbees generally do
now look ...all grown up an' all..... congrats Mr Russ T

 

[Desk Jockey]

now look ...all grown up an' all

He's a keeper!

 

[bob vawter]

1 outta two is 50% ..............?

 

[Desk Jockey]

Not bad.

There is still hope the other fiddy gets it all together yet.

 

[Mark Saiger]

Mark did you get the pad driver with it?

I did not get a pad driver....Yet

 

[Mark Saiger]

Well....this little bad boy made us look good today

Here are a few pics....and YES....a video.

This is the very first time we were using it and we were rushing our first pass with the unit.....so as we cleaned more, we got used to how "It wanted to clean"

Nice unit....love how compact it can be. Bit of weight to it, but more than likely will be more prone to get it off the truck when we need some rotary Muscle!

Like how well it gets under things!

The dog lays here....oh boy!

Did a dang nice job for us today

AND HERE IS THE VIDEO

Its a great tool to have in your box.

Do you have a tool box?

 

[hogjowl]

Mark:
Next time you demo it, show us a wand cleaning right beside the XL.

I'd be interested to see what it takes for a wand to equal an XL cleaning.

 

[Desk Jockey]

No just a tool...you fool.

P.S.The rhyme was for Ofer. The sassy is for your ass!

On many cases, a wand CAN'T match it's cleaning ability. A video would be great!

Really? Don't be such ahhh doophus. It would take a wand forever to compare in rinsing what an RE can effortlessly do.

 

[jmo]

Will the 12" head work with the XL

 

[Mark Saiger]

Will the 12" head work with the XL

I am not familiar enough with the other models to be able to comment here.....

Maybe others will be able to tell us.

 

[Mikey P]

Will the 12" head work with the XL

No

 

[ruff]

So what is the current freaking consensus about the best rotary.
Hoss
RV-XL
T-rex, Trex Junior.

Who tried them all?

 

[hogjowl]

Really? Don't be such ahhh doophus. It would take a wand forever to compare in rinsing what an RE can effortlessly do.

You may be right, in terms if deep cleaning, but I'm interested in appearance. How long will it take for the two to look the same ?

 

[Russ T.]

Better question is, "What is the best RE for me" IMO.

I use the small 360i and LOVE IT. I work alone and love the small size. I pull it out of the truck all the time.

I want the big one now (XL) but still feel like I made a good choice 2 Summers ago when I bought it.

I'd love to hear more feedback on the Trex and Jr..
