I've got about $2k that I would like to use to upgrade my tools. Would you buy a CRB, Swivel Wand or Zipper? Also open to other suggestions. I do mostly residential. I currently use a 6 jet Mach 15, Rotovac 360XL, 175.
What would you upgrade to?

We're going camping tomorrow. But I'd like to invest in something that will make me more efficient so I can spend less time on the job and more with family.You got plenty. Take the family on a nice little trip!

The 360 and 175 aren't that fun to drag up steps anymore and I'm always an idiot, just ask Marty or my Wife.

My 175 never leaves the shop. I use it for scrubbing rugs, that's it. My 15 inch crb gets used constantly in homes and on commercial. It's lighter, scrubs well and goes up and down much easier than the 175. For me, the 2 must haves are a crb and a Rotovac with brush head. The rv brush head is more aggressive than the crb in my opinion. I have a small commercial job next week for an old property management customer. Carpets haven't been done for over 5 years. The Rotovac xl with brush head will be my tool or choice. If you can imagine what a 175 would be like if it also flushed and vacuumed, that's what the rv does.

Am I the only one who has owned all the equipment in question here?

Can't wait! Looking forward to the class!
I stopped using my mach15 when I got my new wand and I really wish I bought another wand before my shoulder got burned out. I think you need another wand, whether it's the swivel devastator or a prochem titanium. I thought I was comfortable with my mach, until I got my prochem titanium

I've used and like the Rotovac xl, if I had one I dont think I'd carry a 175 or crb seems it makes both redundant?
