I just worked yesterday so take that!

I am out of practice a bit as I cleaned the first couple of rooms with the waste tank valve open.

I like to work but if I work in the field a lot of time, then the office/administration and customer service schmoozing starts to suffer and then we start to slow down as a result.

I am going to buy some training/ ride along videos so I can brush up on how to be a true professional. I have looking for some patches for my shirt as well.

Yea you had to get it in before the year was up!

I have tons of patches for you! If you're real nice to me, I'll even get you one with your name on it just in case you forget who you are.

 

[dealtimeman]

Oh please sir! That would make a great year ending gift as well as add that dimension of cleaning superiority that I have wanted all these years!

I bought the quad.. And I think with off set jet bars.

 

[Loren Egland]

I instaggered my four jets so the vac shoes pick immediately pick up the solution spray.

I thought it was the original, 3 head on the RotoVac that everyone complained about???

That's the one I use and had to learn to slow down a little to avoid "streaking". I really don't think its a problem with the machine, just operator moving too quickly.

I was under the impression that the quad head would speed things up a bit?

I've thought about getting the quad but price seems silly. I'd be 1/5 of the way to a new RotoVac XL for that money.

Unstaggered

Stupid auto correct.

Probably not a word, until now.

I googled it.

What's you guys' experience with 360i paired up with a porty? Is it worth the hassle? Or how about the Hoss with a porty? Anyone running that?

 

[ruff]

Zee, you made it out of that hotel (California)?

I think Art uses the RV with a portable.

 

[Zee]

It didn't have a "welcome to the hotel california" sign.. I made it out.

Look for some pretty bad Yelps from the herds of Oregon Ducks fans that are all over the place... Some people were showing up to rooms that were disassembled completely to the dry wall and were looking at us like WTH?

 

[Mikey P]

We're going to have a factory refurbished 360i with the quad head AND a carpet brush head up for auction next month.

A great opportunity for a new guy on a budget to become a better cleaner than Marty.

It pairs exceptionally well with a porty due to it's smaller diameter and (mainly) it's unbroken vacuum contact on the carpet.
I will tell you a story Zee. When I first ordered a 360i (from Lora at Superior), it came with a wrong motor installed. Apparently Rotovac produced a batch of faulty 360is with this wrong motor. I didn't know this, or anything about the machine. I thought it was normal for it to smell of electrical burning, overheat, and stall out, after twenty minutes. I figured it was the 18" of lift I had the Pro1200 set at. So I turned my vacuum down, dropped my engine running speed, and nursed that sucker along so it would work. I found I could actually clean carpets with my TM at idle. Eventually, after a month of doing this, the 360i completely puked altogether. I called John at Superior and he said Rotovac was supposed to have contacted me about the faulty machine. Anyways, he called them and they sent me a new 360i and I sent the old one back in the same box. The new one works perfect, nice and cool for hours at a time at full TM vacuum.
So it got me thinking; if I can actually do top notch cleaning at half the cfms and lift I normally run my TM at with this little rotary, not only could it successfully be used for dual wanding (or more correctly dual rotarying), but I might actually be able to use a porty with it and be completely satisfied with the results. That is why I first ordered my Air Hog Plus, which I had great success with, and then the smaller, lighter, but equally powerful (230 cfm) CFX. After three years of using this system on about half the jobs I do, I can say the experiment was a great success.

I will tell you this.. Way better than the old school 360. Seems to extract more water out of the carpet..
