Old Zipper Owner....

[rwcarpet]

Well, UPS brought me a new/old tool Thursday. It's not the prettiest tool here on the board, but man does it clean! Thanks John Olsen. I think it might be one of the prototypes. Put it through the paces today on some nasties and it does clean like everyone says. And drier than I've ever had with all my machines. This tool must really kick ass behind an Aerotech!

Kinda like the clear front window.

Hottest tool in the pro carpet cleaning world is the Zipper. I just think that's cool. Not from a HUGE company, using cheap materials and outsourced labor.

I met Eric in Cearwater and don't own a Zipper so not a shill just wanted to give a little respect...

The only downsize with that Zipper is the height of it.. The Jr can fit under beds and toe kicks... That should have an adjustable spray bar to change the angle..

Good buy, Robert! Yeah, that window in front is nice for the customer to see the extracted water--a great show but not too helpful for the operator. New Zippers have a clear, 4" plastic tube in the 2" extraction hose to allow the operator to monitor extraction. You could add that if you like. I had Erik send me 3 of those to use for my RX-20's--much nicer than the original translucent plastic hose.

Is Procyon becoming the new Zipper here?

5 year old starving africans made those tools for a nickel a day in an abusive sewathshop somewhere in detroit. Meanwhile Erik is out on his yacht.

I'm headed down to the sweat shop now, bringing fish head soup for the crew. I hope to be on the water soon.

Robert, Running the Zipper with an Aerotech has given us dry times we could never accomplish with a wand. Making long (12 foot) passes also leaves less overlap areas although I really have not been able to see an overlap area since we started to use the Zipper

Awesome tool! Have had mine for about 2 months now and have used it on CGD and residential with amazing results. Don't get the complaints from some about back problems. I'm 57 and the Zipper has given my back great relief. I can clean all day with no pain at all.
