I think the carrying handle should be higher.

It's actually placed at a balance point so when picked up, you can walk with it one handed without one of the ends fighting you.....

I would personally prefer a larger, more robust handle that is situated higher and allow the the tool to lean against my upper arm for balance. Do you know what I mean?

I was going to return the wheels on warranty actuallyNow, stop rolling it around on the concrete. The carry handle is't there for looks.

That thing is a beast for sure. At 13" or 26 of glide "on the carpet" my money is on the 370 powering it no problem. Heat?, well who knows. How do you guys run these things? Full trigger w/no dry passes or back to dry. I full trigger my Westpak with a total of .06 at 400psi for about 20-25 sq/ft of carpet and then back to ring it out again. Stays about 195-210 at the machine. Still don't miss the heat of my propane. If I was still doing restaurant tile I might say different. But my 370 has cleaned about 3k sq/ft of residential so far at 1,000-1,100 psi (Turbo) and I still, don't miss the heat.

7.5 flow @400 psi on my wand drops the heat down to about 170-175 on the 370 but it is winter here in Idaho.

I full trigger and check to see if I'm picking up any. If I am full dry pass if not much then no extra dry pass.

Comparing Apples to Oranges 12 flow 50 flow how do you know? Do you fill a 5gallon bucket and measure not just go by what the #'s say on the spray jet. How many gallons per minute. Ralph Bloss told me 1.5 gallons per minute was the sweet spot for a Mastermatic. He and Henry knew each and every machines capabilities. Everyone seems to tweet (def Fiddle/Fu*&) with their machines.

Use as much water flow as your machine will dry with ...more water flow more cleaning..
I never clean under 12-14 flow....
5-10 flow=1/2 - 1 gallon per min
10-15 flow=1-2 gallon per minute

It's a running joke...Erik doesn't like to see dirty wheels or glides sitting on concrete. He gives everyone shit for it! Lol!
