expanding business

Im looking into expanding my chimney sweep/dryer vent cleaning business and offering carpet cleaning also.  I cant afford a truck mount so it will have to be a portable.  I really like what i have seen with the steamin demon but is it worth the $$$ compared to other portables?  Also is it really all its cracked up to be, sure seems to clean good.  Also curious about vacuums, Would a pile lifter with a vac be best, like a host freestyle, im thinking along this line for pre vacuuming and being able to scub the prespray in.  Thanks for any hepl you can give.  Brian

Do you actually use all that psi for carpet???

I have a 500 psi Ninja that use with an RX-20 (it appears the Rotovac 360 is very similar). I use maybe 125 psi for carpet and only crank up the psi when I do tile. Otherwise, I'd be overwetting the carpet and having to refill the machine too many times.

Michael,

They both pay well Jack.

That's too easy. Give him something difficult, like paying the rent

For prevac, most of us just use a regular vacuum cleaner. I personally use a Royal. All metal construction and very simple to break down. When I was with Chem-Dry, I used a Hoover Conquest--more expensive but not as good, in my opinion. The RX-20 offers plenty of agitation, and I'd guess the 360 does as well, but maybe some of the guys here experienced with the unit can speak to that.
