Mr. Steamer, G'day back to youtoo... one type of  Australian slang is to shorten and add an " ie" to the end of words, you'd just be, "Steamie" around here Ithink.  Steamy Mr. Steamer: Carpet & Rug Cleaner... there's areally dirty limirick in there somewhere!

Adwa, thanks for thewelcome.  THe FX-88 takes two cords, but I'm on 220 volts, and Ican plug them in to the same outlet without tripping a breaker. The RX-20 then has it's own cord.  To get maximum heat, I use the customer's hot water, then run it through an electric heater,so that's a FOURTH cord.  I usually reserve that for pubs or thereally grotty jobs.  I did a pub last night (8:30 PM - 3 AM*whew*) where the manager had been there for 8 months and had not inthat time had the carpets cleaned.  This is a pub where the localmotorcycle gang hangs out all night, and the factory workers aftertheir shifts late at night are usually lined up at 7 AM when it opens,and the vineyard workers hit it in the afternoon.  Busy &Filthy.  All the cr*p melted straight off. 

I can't comment on how it compares with other systems, but I know this:after 7 years of slamming portable users,  my dad mirrored myset-up for his operation in California, and his old truckmount is nowrarely used.  To be fair, though, it was an older unit.  Iwill get a truckmount at some stage, if our company survives!

Thanks again,

Allen

Welcome Allen

I see you have a sense of humor, which is good because you will need it from time to time posting here.

How do you find using the FX88 and RX-20 together. I have heard the FX is pretty powerful and you would have to be using three cords. Are you on 110volt or 220volt?

Been lurking fora couple of days here, and just thought I'd say hello.  Ourcompany, Surroundings, is based in South Australia.  We started upin February, but my dad has a carpet  cleaning place inCalifornia, so it's not 100% new to me.  I've been here inAustralia since '91.

Got an FX 88 HP portable and an RX-20.  Besides carpet, there'slots of slate floors and tiles that my customers have me clean. About half my work so far has been domestic, but I've got a couple ofpub owners and winerys that  have started using our company. I think they know that they'll get all their money back from meanyway....
