  Mine sits in the lock up most of the time. Pain to use on domestics unless house is empty. A lot easier to wand imo. Been doing a large hotel (function rooms, meeting rooms) which has been great and time saving. No good on low profile polys though. The hard floor brush is good as well.

  No not used carpet brush head as i lm clean on low profiles. Only ever used it once on a trashed domestic carpet and it did come up well, but had cleaned it before with a wand and come up just as good.

My biggest gripe which stops me from using it more is that it flicks water droplets which then need to be dry stroked.

Anyone else solve this.  Tried less pressure 100-200psi just the same and going slower no different.

,need a new plug or it so havent even started it yet,,

Did you import it from the states

If I bought one I would expect a plug

Is the DXH  model  ie the second design  easier on domestic. When They first came out I thought you could get a hard floor head which would do for small kitchens etc but they do not appear to be mentioned now

shipping was expensive,probably could have got it for same price in the uk but i wanted a turbo hybrid and mini turbo and couldnt find anyone in the uk selling them,,,
what i ordered was 360i with the carpet head plus the carpet brush head
turbo hybird and mini turbo tile tools
stair tool
 total cost including duty this end was 4,425.00 dollars

Yes I use it on wool but at a reduced speed, about half speed or slightly less.
