Hi James,

Go back a couple of months on this forum and you will find a lot of opinions on the Rotovac.

P.s. It's heavy.

It looks great but the only thing with some powerheads are that they get in the bloody way! I prefer 2 machines 1 to aggitate and 1 to hwe, you can use them independantly but it's horses for courses.

Although could be considered advertising thanks for link as I spend 10 minutes trying to open Link on Alltec site on Monday.

Supprised it is the same price as previous model.

Does it do same job on Carpets .

Interesting about hard floors at 100psi.  As Steve Saunders Thought you would need a Higher Preasurer at the Open Day.

But this model had not arrived.

Does look like a good piece of kit.
Could it be useful to carry out work on larger residential and commercial areas.

I did quite a bit of investigation in the the new Rotovac. I even phoned the guys in the states to ask a few questions.

This new machine takes on the RX-20 whereas the previous model was not ideally suited to carpet tiles.

If I'm not mistaken this is about 2 thirds of the price of the RX-20.

I wouldn't buy one of these contraptions if it was the last thing on earth! They go against all principles of carpet management, can cause pile fusion and are not endorsed by the people who make carpeting (especially the flooring we deal with at £90 sq mtr).

Contact the carpet manufacturers if you don't believe me. And yes, I have an excellent life with no money worries, thank you for asking!   ;D

Two thirds cheaper???



Rosina

£90 sqm that what you’ve been told don’t you just love customers exaggerations. 8) Not in the supply game but keep my finger on the pulse so to speak, :-X manufacturers hedge their bets on cleaning, bit like washing machines manufactures.

Have you ever looked under the seat on a sofa, what is there recommendation?  Never seen don’t! ;D

You’re not a do Ron Ron love that melody. ;D
