We put donkeys in the pasture to keep the coyotes off the cows.
I was going to get one but they sound horrendous at times. This guy is 1/2 mile away and it sounds like he is being murdered. All for now reason at all.

No donkeys. I want buffalo. :cool:

I would have thought so, but that was a very soft pile nylon.

I pre vacuumed, CRB'd and used the brush head.

Looked killer when all done.

So how the corn rowing went away in the pic above...dried that way too

I always like pet oils.. No better protector for a fiber then pet oils.. The fiber completely covered in it!! Cleans like a dream!

Come to think about it, why does pet hair oil come out so easy yet NOTHING touches asphalt sealer?

Talk to Fenstermaker one time on the phone and you'll appreciate that donkey.

I love how easy it is to pick up the 360i, especially when it's condensed down.
I carry mine by the upper crossbar with the handles extended. You probably have longer arms than I do so it might fit nicely tucked in your armpit.


I can see why Mytee came out with their knock off. Only they blew it with the rigid handle.
Mytee does some very strange things design-wise. They appear to overthink things.

That looks nice, Mike. Well done! I'm wondering how clean it would have turned out without all the extra pre-scrubbing you did? It is extremely rare for me to pre-scrub and the 360i appears to do just fine. I might take my rake and pre-scrub a really heavily soiled area, but otherwise I let the RV do its work.

Yes, I have both of those for my 360i. I'm interested to know how well the XL does with that tile and grout head. The 360i just isn't heavy enough for that in most instances. That's been my experience.

I have a couple of really trashed T&G possibles coming up....I don't know if anything is really going to cut through them right away...but willing to try....

sure hoping for super trashed cleaning today....how bad is that?! LOL

That carpet had only been cleaned twice in seven years and had fairly serious pile distortion issues.


So I went to town..

Darnit!....that tile and grout head with the 4 jets looks freakin amazing!!! Is that the one where the jets are down facing @Mark Saiger?
Even if it's not the best on the rat nasty, greasy tile jobs I still want one....The majority of our tile jobs are regular maintenance ones for us so they don't need too much aggression but if I had the choice of that brush head I would use it more often than the turbo I think.

Don't forget Mark uses a 360XL not a 360i.

How's your new 360i working out, Kellie? I think when i first got mine (many years ago) I went around volunteering to clean carpets for free just to use it.

The problem I see with any tile brush is, if it's too stiff, it won't access the recessed grout lines. If it's too pliable, it will lay down and still won't access the grout line. And, there is no happy medium. Having said that, let me add that the tile itself seldom needs scrubbing. It's the grout lines that are the problem.

So, what's the point in scrubbing?

The only machine that seems to have a chance of solving this problem is the CBM, but I have one and it still doesn't seem to scrub the grout all that effectively.

I just got it yesterday and haven't used it yet. Yesterday was chemo day so 10 hours at the hospital.....ugh!
I have all commercial work till Friday, I want my first use to be in a residential setting to really get a good feel for it. I will be posting a video and review! I'm very excited!
