ROTOVAC 360 RE-MODEL

[Loren Egland]

#1. The ShamElEss promotion of the unit by jUgHeaD...! You bet, it kicks ass and all should no about it, not one complaint yet form those that bought on my advice.
#2. The "price" is ridiculous for limited functions it can perform...! Carpet, Pre Scrub, Driver to run pads or bonnets and lots of tile attachments too.
#3. The motor is too small...it has to be operated @350 psi or less...! 250 is all thats needed to clean the shitiest of pits so stfu. about the motor that is completely rebuildable.
#4. It as ..NO..track record longevity in the industry..What about re-sale value...? resale? lmao what is it a minivan? once used anyone who actually cleans for a living would never think of getting rid of it.
#5. It has to be operated in a figure 8 pattern...WTF..Not a consistent pattern to clean..! only on say 20% of the jobs have we had to do the 8, who cares.
#6. It is a poor investment for average cleaner..a used RX20 or RDM..has a better value..!lies and propaganda from a boss hwo is too cheap to buy his kid a real tool
#7. It does NOT..clean better than any other rotary on the market...It is just LIGHTER.....! how do you know this?
#8. It is the "poor man's" Cadillac...It "go the way" of the BAYLINER of the boat world....! hangover confusion, Harp got the clap last night form one of his pre schooler "dates"
#9. In 6 months...they will be giving them away on E-bay & Craigslist...for $350.00...! Viagra stunts rational thought

Do either one of you want to challenge my original dual head Rotovac? It is also light weight and has no torque, thus true onehanded operation, even on loose rugs. Easy to use to get those nasty steps clean. Even helps on filtration stains along edge since you can run the RV right up next to baseboard. Adjustable wheel for different pile height. The original might be a little slower and may not dry as fast as the 360i with the 2 inch vac chamber, but that is not what really cleans.

I dunno loren...My dad has one and i have used it a few times...and its kinda a pita

plus, the line down the center is a bigger pita to fix then having to go figure 8s

Harpocrite,
You're built upside down.
Your asshole is wide open and your mind is puckered.

Does the bald head make more less friction on the way up?

I sense a little ...HEAD ENVY...in your voice... :shock:

Hell of a bar in her dining room there bud.

Were you at her boyfriends house annoying the hell out of them until you finally convinced her to force a kiss on your cheek just so you would shut the hell up about trying to impress Mikey's Boarders?
How's that for being right Dave?

Can tell you only used it a few times.... It's not rocket science to use a OG rotovac. I grew up using that. I still got to do the Scott Noble mod to the OG rotovac.


As for Odin, is your customer's going to notice the 5 minutes less dry times?

Hilarious. Time to go google carpet cleaners in Atlanta and drive up those "hit" numbers...... shiteatinggrin

Nice work..Walt... 8)

Here is my "issue" with the 360i.....

#1. The ShamElEss promotion of the unit by jUgHeaD...!
#2. The "price" is ridiculous for limited functions it can perform...!
#3. The motor is too small...it has to be operated @350 psi or less...!
#4. It as ..NO..track record longevity in the industry..What about re-sale value...?
#5. It has to be operated in a figure 8 pattern...WTF..Not a consistent pattern to clean..!
#6. It is a poor investment for average cleaner..a used RX20 or RDM..has a better value..!
#7. It does NOT..clean better than any other rotary on the market...It is just LIGHTER.....!
#8. It is the "poor man's" Cadillac...It "go the way" of the BAYLINER of the boat world....!
#9. In 6 months...they will be giving them away on E-bay & Craigslist...for $350.00...!
#10. There is NOTHING about this "toy"..that is innovative or marginally different than it's
POS cousin.."360"..."Other than jughead'S HYPE"... :roll: BTW...Who died & made that
"Vegan"... King of knowledge & experience... ..REMEMBER..."He didn't fork-out the RETAIL PRICE...if anything..... !gotcha! GO TO THE CASINO.. :idea: You will have a better CHANCE..of a return on the iNvesTmEnT... :mrgreen:

ps..If you carry a 357 MAGNUM..."Why would you try to use a 22 calliper cartridge..." :roll:
It just doesn't make sense... BTW..."If you can't lift a 100 lbs...You are probably in
the WRONG business... !gotcha! DON'T BRING A KNIFE TO A GUN FIGHT... :!:

Just be "Thankful"....you did'nt get "Saddled with a vOrTeX...in 04"... :mrgreen:

Thanks.

Here's another I did yesterday.

1. Maybe, but it's Mikey's Board. It's like worrying the that Jordan is a shameless promotor of Nike.
2. I've been using it on most jobs lately. I'd say, 80%
3. I agree on the motor, but I don't understand the 350 psi comment since I've used it at over 400 plenty. However, it goes through a ridiculous amount of water at that pressure. Even with a 120 gallon tank it's a pain.
4. Your right about the track record. But the RDM isn't known for reliability. A friend of mine has 3 RDM's - 2 for his trucks and one he keeps swaps out when they break down. Still he really likes it.
5. Better figure out which ones quick! However, it's not most carpets and the figure 8 isn't hard to do.
6. I'm not the average cleaner.
7. Lighter is good. Especially in a city full of town homes. 15 stairs to the front door, 15 stairs up the the first floor, 15 stairs up to the second floor to clean 300 (or less) square feet of carpet. Honestly, the roto rarely made it there.
8. My Grandpa drove a caddy, I'd rather drive an audi
9. I hope so, then I can buy another
10. Might be right about the 360, don't really know. I guess it's called Mikey's Board, so it would seem that Mike would have a pretty strong opinion. And I would be obvious that he is sponsored by some of the vendors. However, I don't believe he would roll over. He called the Stryker wand a piece of junk.


04 Vortex - had one. It was beautiful but loud. Sold it, didn't lose any money. However, I don't miss it. But the guy who has it now loves it.

why does everyone think the 360 is so great? I remember when I first got on the boards a couple years ago everyone trashed talked rotovac on here. Now all of the sudden everyone thinks its so great. Did mike get a free one for his endorsement? I just dont really think the 360 is that great and still think the rx20 kicks its ass and is better made

The new model "360I" is supposed to be better because of the cleaning head is different and the vacuum port is larger.

The only reason I'm interested in it over an Rx-20 is the weight as long as it cleans about the same as an RX I'll get one eventually.

 

[Mikey P]

i indeed.


i get lots of crap for free, free is does not get you good reviews.

 

[Larry Cobb]

This is a big reason for the new popularity:

It is the first rotary head extractor, with an adequate brush system.

And it can be used with the NEW rotary carpet drying system :roll:

Uh oh- Doesn't the CRI say only counter rotating brushes? Or does this qualify?
