Odin,
You are starting to worry me. You have always been a champion of cutting through the rhetoric and making us think about some of the bamboozling that is heaped upon the typical carpet cleaner daily.
However, posts like this make me think you have drank the kool-aid.
A larger machine does not eliminate the need for value-added tools, nor will it ever.
Larger blowers, greater flow, more heat give you just one thing. Greater capacity. Ever wonder why the
Vortex has three vacuum connections? It's not to replace an Airpath.
And you KNOW THIS.
Yet you start a thread that is not in the spirit of the Odin I know, or thought I did.
The weak point of a
Vortex is its applicability to profit on single apartment move-outs that a pinto-rug doctor guy dreams for. If you have any pictures of that, then I'd say you have a point.
Bring back the Odin that puts the POG's in their place.
