maxima, There are no longer Duties & Taxes going over the border since NAFTA. What if your state has serious dirty water dumping laws as many do. Have you considered where the Prowler will be automatically dumping to? The fines for dumping are heavy. Check it out first. Edited by Carpetologist |

Are you kidding? I've seen the machine at a local cc store. When I discovered that it would sit on a toilet, I just thought it was brilliant. |

Steamer, I like what you said but you missed the most important part that hurts the worst. MONEY BACK to a dissatisfied customer. Is it not interesting that all this info we are all offering cost us all a lot of money by trial and error not to mention the years of aggravation AND we are offering it all for free. The internet is a wonderful tool for learning and information. I wonder if anyone is listening. |

JTUSEO:
You seem not to have such a problem with the Prowler as many of these other members do, Why is that? Your Confidence in the Prowler makes me want to listen to what You have to say about it, Because I want to believe, I'm trying to believe it is the machine for me at the moment, in this particular time in my carpet cleaning career. To me it almost seems like a step up from a porty, but a step down from a truck mount. Which is exactly what I'm looking for, Unless, someone can convince me otherwise that I would be wasting my money and should just get the recoil 3 quad pack for NOW. What do You think? I just dont want to be confined to residential jobs and apartments, I want my advertising dollars to work the hardest for me, I wouldnt want to pay a $200 month phone book bill, only to tell my customers sorry I dont have big enough equipment to handle your school or restaurant. GET what I'm saying. I need diversity without commiting a truck to the job. Something I can put in a truck and take out on the weekends. Or maybe something Economical in price that I could put in a Enclosed Trailer.  Thanks, CHRIS |

Of course you entertain his love for a prowler...it's what you want to hear. So many beginners fail because they try to be big on a small budget....
As a professional ..I know I can use a prowler(housewife's tool)...with Carmel for soap But as a beginner, you're just going to screw up... A beginner should have professional equipment...and quality cleaning products until they know what they are doing.... it's better you get into a used TM for 10 grand.... you'll love it so much...you'll end up buying a new one...

Go for the Prowler. I love mine! Buy it get open . Its going to be much more power than you will need. Plus the fact when you do most commercial jobs you have to use a portable anyway!
live it love learn it clean it

Please share pics I'm anxious to see the set-up You have with the Prowler. Do You have Auxillary tanks? Plastic or Steel? What Size? What H.P 12 or 15? Blower Size? Thanks In Advance, CHRIS |

maxima, If you look and re-read suggestions that pros have made to you over the last week or so and don't take them you may find yourself productive with more aggravation than you really need. Since you are not doing this necessarily for money I would now suggest that you scratch the idea and look for a more pleasant way to spend your spare time. The rest of us need to do this to survive. You still have an out. Take it. This is not an easy business. However you accumulated your money keep doing it. And tell us all how. We may switch. |
