Some swear by the Rotovac, praising its ability to dance on carpets with unparalleled grace. Yet, in the mysterious world of tile and grout, the spinner seems to have a bit of an identity crisis. Some folks still cling to their trusty wands, others flirt with the spinner, and a few even throw in a dash of the classic spinner-wand combo.

It's like owning a sports car but taking the bus to work – you've got the tool, but the real magic is in how you wield it. Some argue the Rotovac is the key to a cleaner, faster job, while others are left wondering if it's just an expensive hood ornament for the cleaning van.

Use whatever equipment you have that makes the most sense for the particular job. I'd choose the Rotovac any day over a manual scrub wand, especially when it comes to larger jobs or cleaning greasy restaurant carpet. At the end of the day my spine is thanking me for choosing the Rotovac.

We're considering the purchase of Ninja Warrior 400 and would very much like to communicate with someone who has experience with these machines.  Most of the posts on this site seem quite outdated so I'm wondering if the site is still active.]]> Wed, 30 Apr 2014 18:44:46 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7666&PID=166518&title=ninja-warrior-400#166518 <![CDATA[Rotovac : rotovac over wetting! any suggestions?]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6472&PID=166511&title=rotovac-over-wetting-any-suggestions#166511 Author: Mr.Mike

Some users of the Rotovac complain of over-wetting carpets. Keep in mind that the Rotovac needs regular maintenance to keep it running at it's best. Also, a dry pass or two may be necessary.

I have been with Rotovac since day 1 of my business.  I have 3 total now and 1 rotovac 360 that I currently use with the carpet brush head.  I have never been one that would trade quality for speed but with the 360 it is really much faster to clean with a gives a deeper cleaning than a wand.  I really don't understand why more carpet cleaners wouldn't want the best piece of equipment for cleaning carpet?]]> Tue, 21 Jan 2014 17:49:29 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2545&PID=166418&title=introducing-the-newest-rotovac-360#166418 <![CDATA[Rotovac : rotovac over wetting! any suggestions?]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6472&PID=166411&title=rotovac-over-wetting-any-suggestions#166411 Author: Drummond1

You can turn the water valve down and use less water.  Only turn the water up on the really bad areas.  You can also do multiple dry passes.  Finally, you can also use air movers to speed dry the carpets if all else fails.  Hope this helps.]]> Thu, 16 Jan 2014 00:32:51 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6472&PID=166411&title=rotovac-over-wetting-any-suggestions#166411 <![CDATA[Rotovac : Rotovac 360i]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7443&PID=165684&title=rotovac-360i#165684 Author: carpetologist

For the life of me I can't figure it out...

Pushing a wand is archaic. It's like working in the garden with a hoe as opposed to working with a rototiller.

If you are wanting a workout then use a wand. If you want to super satisfy your customer and maximize your profit and come out with a proud feeling use a Rotovac 360i.

It should be a no-brainer.

So, I challenge the industry to tell me the reasons why they will not buy a Rotovac 360i. I won't take cost as an answer as the Rotovac 360i benefits far outweigh the initial cost.
