roto vac 360

[BRUCE LITTLE]

Has anyone had any trouble with it leaving light & dark swirls in the carpets when dry ? This only happens on some carpets ! Roto vac says nobody has ever had that problem before.

Do you mean the lines created when you clean. The head is round, the top pushes fibers right and the back pushes fibers left. If that's what your talking about then you need to groom.

If you mean it's cleaning uneven and leaving a line it's because it's a single disk. It's almost impossible to keep that head flat on the carpet. It's the same with a 175, rdm, or rx. A single head design is flawed from the go, one side or another is going to be digging in while the other side is lifted. That makes the original rv, the cimex, and some op machines clean better. If you can keep the head flat on a single disk you will be cleaning better but working harder. The machine will fight you as it tries to go every direction at once.

I have indeed heard of this, some think it's some type of bleaching on nylons, I just think it's a form of pile distortion or some funky extreme pile lifting.

It does not groom out when dry.

I will say, I've only heard this on the factory Stainless Steel wrapped shoes, not on Teflon Glides, that is why I suspect it's a distortion or damage issue.

Used to hear a similar story from RX20 users, but it changed after they glided it. Never got hat story on the RDM with it's nylon shoes.

I have personally never had this happen. I would think that it might be clean streaks,maybe go over another pass.What PSI are you running at?

Do you make a glide for the rotvac-360

Yes he does. Really helps when using the 360 in conjunction with a porty.
