Title: Rotovac 360i
Post by: Robin Ray on April 28, 2013, 08:47:56 pm
Thinking of getting a rotovac for a number of reasons

1, They look like the make easy work of mingers.
2, They look easier than wanding
3, They look like a good marketing tool, and impressive to the custy  during cleaning.
4, They look versitile ie. Hard floor cleaning, bonneting, carpet etc
5, I like new stuff

The question is in reality are they any easier?

Do you use it all the time or just on dirtier carpets?

Do you only use it on mingers Paul or do you use it on general cleans too?

What I meant is do you only use it on dirtier carpets/restoration jobs or do you use it instead of a wand even for carpets with medium soiling?

I use it on commercial jobs where or not trashed, if im doing large empty houses or area with easy access then i will use it as its a lot easier and cleans better. It will rip the shi t out of black top if you have enough heat running through it.

 I have the 360i,wouldn't be without it,use it on 90% of my jobs.I bought the hard floor attachment,not too impressed tbh.I haven't pushed the tile & grout part of my business,partly because i wasn't getting the desired results.This however may be down to my inexperience and use of chemicals.I fully intend to do a course on hard floor cleaning in the near future so maybe the t&g head will serve me in the future.

 Paul,would you advise using the t&g head for agitation,had been toying with the idea,the bristles are not imo overly harsh :-\,not too unlike the brush i used to use for agitation !'would appreciate your thoughts.

Regards,
