rotovac360 or rx-20

I have a RX-20 and i think it cleans great, but wanted to know how the roto vac compairs to it? 

It all depends on what you are using to run the 360i....if you are running a lighter weight machine or a portable..then you will be OK...anything that has power behind it then the 360i is no more then a door stop....it will get sucked down into the carpet because there is no support on the bottom plate and then the jets will not allow the water to spray correct....it will do nothing but leave bad streaking...

 the 360i is set up for a 2 inch hose....

Hey Jim

Purchase the Hoss a week ago and last weekend was the first time using it. I am currently using it with a Ninja 150 (non heated)  dual vacuum portable with 25 ft of hose - but looking into getting a internal heater installed soon. I found that it worked well for what I was doing (CGD) inside a Pharmacy (real dirty carpets). However I did find that carpets were too wet, but after bonnet drying it (add adding Brown Out) and leaving the air movers on, it came out really good.
I did take out the filter orifice in the Hoss, because many a person who have use it found it useless - should put the screen back in to solve over-wetting carpets? Anyway is there anything else I could be doing or have to make the Hoss more effiecient with the Ninja extractor - (maybe installing 2 - dual vacs to get more suction) What do you think?

Thanks in advance!

I have used rotary extractors on occasion but have yet to see hardly any benefit to them. A regular 175 machine with brush  or bonnet to agitate with works fine. The drying times are better also. The cost of these rotary extractors also does not help. Then to many use them to scrub with, and then buy an extra brush to improve the cleaning?

Hi John

I have the 2 stage, but I would like to install just a 3 stage now (which I feel would do good) I don't like you say want to have to many cords to plug in in addition to the internal heater i want to set up and the Hoss plug and hoses. I most likely will go with the 3 stage and definitely get the booster (I read up on that) + my dealer said that would make a good addition for my set up.

On a different note what conditioner is everyone using now I know there is preference but just wondering if one is better than the other. I am using Esteam's CBS prespray but I also have left over Esteam Suspend. What do all of you use?

Salute!
