i know simon, i was just disagreeing with colins comments about speed, the rx does a superior job with a lot more ease over prolonged cleaning, just wish i could get the hang of it.

derek, i would beg to differ, the rx is quicker and a better clean than a wand, not to fall out with you but if you can't get the hang of using one then i can't see that your qualified to give a reasonable reply. the height that you have the handle position set at is the difference between using it comfortably or it being like hanging on to a charging bull. a height change of an inch can make all the difference, some people have the handle set too high, lower is better,

i'm not qualified but john gotts is.
he's the one who told me its not faster in the first hour of cleaning.
but yeah, far superior in results and once fatigue sets in, then the rx comes into its own.
the reason i can't get to grips with it is mainly not being able to see what its doing underneath. feel like i'm cleaning blind if that makes any sense, probably not, but thats just me.

could do with seeing a pro use one on a big job, that might change my mind.

You need to spend a day on the ships with Simon.

So your losing out, if it stays cleaner 3 times longer they wont get you back so often....

or he's got the job for life.
depends on your perspective.

how the hell do you work that one out?

a carpet stays clean for 3 times longer!!! :   so thats 3 days instead of 1 then 

Sorry to disagree My dvae, but I just cannot see how a carpet stops cleaner for 3 times longer , Pie in the Sky comes to mind.

Have you tried another wand?

[Simon Gerrard]

Geoff,

It stays cleaner longer because it been cleaned far more thoroughly. You could see that as a commercial disadvantage but it isn't, it plays directly on to customer satisfaction. Customers notice things like that, that here carpet stays cleaner longer with a TM and an RX20 than other, less powerful systems and stick with the company that gives them the best result.

I like that one Geoff. 

[gwrightson]

Simon,

it was not my intention neither is  my intention to have a go at the rx, as you have already asked ,Have i used one the answer is NO, but I find it amazing that people state that carpets actually stay cleaner for 3 times longer, especially in a night club : when a rx has been utilised, and that statement is coming from a guy who,s web site states

 "  . It's so effective that nearly every carpet we clean looks once again just like the day it was laid, no matter how dirty. "

"Whatever the condition of your carpets or furnishings, no matter how dirty we can usually restore them to looking 'Just like New'."  etc ect, 
no sign of an rx on his site :  but their is a pic of a prochem wand, with the same two people who seem to work for an awful lot of people

Come on get real  rx does not clean any better than most competant c/c with adequate machines  all it is  imho is an overpriced, unnecessary tool and it certainly doesnt have the added feature of preventing resoiling 3 times longer than a normal wand, re soiling problems occur for any variety of reasons!!
Hydramaster rx20 , no doubt a nice peice of kit ,but not what some are trying to make it out to be!!
Yes , I do like hydramaster I use the dri master.

Geoff,
With respect that is a load of twaddle. If you haven't used an RX20, how on earth can you comment on it? You seem to be trying to make yourself out as some sort of authority on the subject, but openly state that you  have no first hand experience of having used one.
I do agree the quote you mentioned does seem a little over-the-top, but at least the guy is overstated the issue from the perspective of experience of its use, whereas you are just surmising, perhaps to make yourself feel better about not having one. You should try one, at least then you will know what you're talking about.

Simon

[gwrightson]

Simon,

I openly admit I have no experience with the rx20, and I can assure you that I am not portraying to be an authority on the subject 

But what i am trying stress  are the ridiculous numbers that are been thrown about by rx20 users, so come on admit it , "it does not clean any better than a wand " simple really , " it does not extend the time of the carpet staying cleaner "  twaddle!!
I dare say it is an effective tool , but of course I wouldnt know!!   and you are bound to defend it with vigour, after all you would hardly admit to it been an expensive toy after you have purchased, and even if it it does clean better, which I doubt, the difference would be minuscule i would even say that this so called difference could be achieved by any other number of tweeks, example aggitation, dwell selection of solution, heat etc, etc .
