John; actually we agree on more stuff than we disagree on. But if I agreed with you too much, life might get boring for both of us, so I look for oportunities to get you riled up from time to time, just like you do with others! LOL

Lets see now, .50 for the HWE, add 30% for the OP and voila....... .65/sq ft! Yep you should do well at that rate Mr Steamer!
John: Sorry for answering Mr. Steamer's post for you up above. I know that you are quite capable of doing that yourself. In future, I will wait at least 3 hours to see if you want to answer rather than the 2.5 hours I did wait to hear your reply. |

So what did your portable or TM cost you? It doens't take long at all to make the money back, for one, padding is very cheap on chems and high on profit. Whatever you charge for HWE you should charge 25-30% more for padding, I know it is cheaper to perform but the customers will more than likely use your VLM cleaning if you charge more because then they will know YOU believe in it. |

2199 usd about 2700 cdn But you have to look at the fact you'll make money off it and most likely will make it all back... I guess it uses a special pre-spray??? |

Why is it that we all want to brag about our profit. But do not want anyone else to show a profit from us. Remember the first three letters in PROfit is PRO. |

OK, let's get this straight, so many people THINK manufacturers make a bunch of money off their equipment, however I and several others had laid out that we DON'T. Is it because we don't sell for well over the COST of building? Heck no, we have too, that is expected. What so many do NOT take into account is that by the time, packing, warehousing, warranty, advertising etc have been paid, the machines themselves do NOT MAKE MONEY.
I also can answer for myself Ken, you don't need to do that. |

The thing Padman doesn't know is that I've been in manufacturing for years... I know what a motor cost... and how much it cost to get fabricated parts, really it's all about quantity... Why doesn't anyone want to admit that they make money... Thank Ken for admitting... How much is it going to cost you Ken to make your op's out of Mexico??

Oh there is money in it , Mr Steamer, but most of it is on the pad and chemical side. John makes money there. Now that he has volume sales happening on the machines these last couple of years, he is making money there as well. Why would he sell them if there was no money on the machine? Because if you don't have a machine, you don't need the chemical and pads either, now do you? LOL

You forgot that you told me, John. Last March when I saw you down in Kentucky. LOL. Your memory is slipping. No need for any living room calculations. I also had costing done on your machine with the manufacturer of the RSE as well. It pays to know the cost inputs of both machines when deciding where to set price point for a machine that can pad as well as HWE carpet.
