Bad choice of wall color, nice furniture, no baseboard, is the carpet rippled a little in the middle of the pic, from bed to dresser?

rippled carpet

 

[Jim Martin]

this is not the finished product.....it was looking to see what was going on so it was brushed in 2 different directions to see how it looked both ways so I could be sure........I knew it was going to do this and as hard as I tried for it not to...it still did.....

no ripples in the carpet......

 

[Becker]

Only thing I see is maybe some addition wear right between the bed and dresser, perhaps the desk use to be in the dressers area, and a office type chair tore the fibers up.

Is this one of the photos you need to stare at crossed eyed to see the image?

lol..I was beginning to wonder that myself.......


look at the dark lines going from left to right from the bed to the dresser......

 

[Becker]

Bad seem, gap in the sub floor, or crack in the slab causing air filtration lines?

 

[Jim Martin]

bad streaking from cleaning with a 360i.....this is where this little machine really is not worth its money and where the biggest correction needs to be made.....because it sets so low to the ground..on these types of carpets...when the vacuum grabs it sinks it down a bit....when it does that...the carpet blocks off the spray pattern on the jets....and the water is not being dispersed the right way......I knew it was going to happen....so I watched my over laps..I slowed way down....tried different patterns......in the end...it cost me a lot of time...because I had to re-clean it with a wand....

they need to raise this thing up..........

 

[Becker]

Admit it, you love the RX20 dont ya?

I love mine.. Best thing HM ever put out.

 

[Jim Martin]

times like this I really do...I know the RX would not of done this..this is my 3rd time cleaning this house and I always used the RX.....never had this problem...

 

[Jim Martin]

I went back and took another look at the bottom of the hoss machine....I will bet you my front row seat in hell that once it hits the this type carpet it is going to do the same thing.....those jets are going to get blocked off....

 

[Mikey P]

Prochem Ti wands did the same thing when they first came out.

Well if thats the case I will save the financing cuz 90 percent of carpet around here is Frieze.

you can mess around with the wand and stop the streaking.....there is nothing you can do with the problem on the 360i...

i like it on frieze....maybe ours out here(or the ones i have cleaned) are less plush....

but i really like it on frieze, because it doesnt leave as bad of pattern marks
