My dry times avg 1.5 to 2hrs using the T-rex , on some jobs i will do extra dry passes . but im not using air movers to get them dry times.
I dont know about 24.7% faster using any roto machine. But i do see the results and IF i need to slow down a bit to do a much better job then i will. We charge .45 a sqft and our custys want to see top quilty results at that price
and we are booked out about a week and a 1/2 on res cleaning
I had the hoss for 2 maybe 3 weeks , i didnt have extra spray bars to paly with ...so no, i didnt get to play with it in that way ..i played with it the way it came out of the box..Same as i did the first 2 weeks with the T-rex. It was only after Connections i started to play and tweak the T-rex
The price of the hoss did not enter into it either as i could have got the hoss at cost from Ray at the time
i have a 360 we use it with a brush head on it ,as we use it most on trashed apts . with the 4 port we where not getting the results we needed
On Quality of construction.
my rotovac has gone through 4 cleaning heads 1x 3port 1 x 4 port and 2 brush heads , has been welded in 4 different places, a couple of gears ,on second motor and 2 switches
but it does get a lot of use/abuse
on the hoss i dont think i broke anything ...
On the T-rex John REALLY wanted to know how it held up to abuse in 3 areas, the cleaning head, the boom and the handle /speed control
He did,nt want me to drop in down the stairs, but he did want to know about any weak points
Cost
Imho
the rotovac is at a fair price, the Rx 20 even for a tank is over priced, the Hoss at full price is over priced..If John stays at 2500 for the T-Rex. It is the best Value of all of them. And could be at the same price as the hoss
Easy of use
T-Rex .... as easy as the rotovac...even Marty could use it
For a much bigger unit the T-Rex is as easy to carry up to the 3 floor as the rotovac.... balance wise... but it is a few lbs more to carry
I aint taking Hoss past the second floor ....and the Rx..First floor only baby
Durabilty
I hit the cleaning head Cover a few times with a hammer in front of Joe Appleby last week ..with no problem
you can strip the cleaning head down and clean every part to make sure your doing the best cleaning job you can with it
there are a few things you can tweak to suit your style of cleaning or to suit the type of job your doing that only takes 5 mins
I would have no problem in buying a 2nd and 3rd T-rex for the 2nd truck and hopfully a 3rd truck next year
And yes the cleaning results are great across all different types of carpet..Just set the speed and flow to suit your needs
QUOTE=Mikey P;4180759]Best in what way Cu?
Took less passes to clean and dry?
Do you own a 4 port 360i, I find it really does clean 24.7% faster. Did you really use the HOSS long enough to have a firm opinion? Did you mess with the HOSS's flow or spray bars? Doing so makes a big diff.
Quality of construction?
Your beta model can be counted on for true longevity reports.
Cost?
Easy of use/balance compared to the other 3 options?
