    Well I have been using a portable for about 10 months now, and I always ask my customers what type of system was used in their home the last time it was cleaned,and most of the time it was by a truck mount, but they also said I did a far better job and I would get their business next time needed. I believe it's all in the person doing the job. I also look at all my jobs as a challenge to see how clean I can get it without over wetting.

Hasn't happened to me. Having the RX-20 probably helps. Being a carpet cleaner in San Diego who actually speaks English as his first language also goes a long way. Wink

Just noticed you are an incredibly experienced and undoubtedly professional person at the mature age of 26 years.............

You are clearly failing in your chosen profession, as you would not be on here sl*gging off others.

I'm sure you will also know that a guy with an o/p machine can knock spots anything you produce.

It's also highly probable that ANY competent operator with a decent portable and the experience to use it effectively will also embarass you, in fact it occurs to me that this is probably what's happened and you are on a mission to rubbish people who are a damn site better than you will ever be, no matter how big or powerfull your toy !

Just the way you come accross.   
we try harder and it shows

I agreeI don't even think Steampro has a truckmount himself LOL.  He hasn't been a member that long, so I have been able to read almost all of his posts and I believe he owns a portable now and is in the process of looking for a truckmount, so I don't know why he trying to downplay the portable seeing as thats all he owns right nowHits the fan. I think Steampro has way to much time on his hands to be a new business and have the capability to posts 232 posts(90% of those being nothing but illustrations) since he joined not even a month ago. How about this Steampro.... A GUY JOINS AN ONLINE DISCUSSION FORUM FOR CARPET CLEANERS, HE GETS SIGNED UP, HE GETS A PASSWORD AND HES TYPING AWAY, OH, I'M SORRY HE'S ILLUSTRATING AWAY!Thumbs Up.  THEN THE GUYS ON THE FORUM REALIZE THAT ONE OF THE GUYS DOESN'T CLEAN CARPETS Pad CleaningBECAUSE HE'S ALWAYS RESPONDING TO QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS ON THE FORUM ALL DAY WITH STUPID ILLUSTRATIONS, SO ONE OF THE GUYS SAYS, " WHAT THA  FUKKK!!!, I THOUGHT THIS FORUM WAS FOR "CARPET CLEANERS", AND TELLS THE GUY TO GET HIS SH#TTY LITTLE SELF OFF OF THIS CC DISCUSSION FORUM YOU F*#CKING LOSER!!

Well then maybe he should be seeking help and not putting down the way some of the guys including me make their living everyday, especially if he doesn't own a truckmount himself. What sense does that make??
