Drymaster

Guys,

WOW,

I am using a TM.  But RDM is fine for portables you dont need much pressure, the RDM even limits water with an orifice.  I noticed three problems with the RDM.  The one people would complain about is the dark streaks in the carpet, due to the back and forth motion (the direction of the carpet).  This was caused by the base being so flat laid the carpet down. I was at the point where I was using a pet brush after each room raking both ways to try to remove the pattern, and still you could see the direction marks.  I would tell customers to look at the dark streaks from a different angle and they would be now lighter, but still they wanted it fixed.  I tested it on my house doing the same thing took 2 months to remove the streaks with vacuuming.  So gave up on the tool wan't worth the call backs.  People also said it wasn't as clean as before (was using the RX-20).  The third problem I was having with it was the body of the RDM would pick up some of the paint off the baseboards (like if you look at you solution hoses) and when you would run the tool up against furniture would leave white paint marks.  I would then have to go after the job with solvent to remove the paint off the wood furniture was a pain.  Tool did what it said was dry in about a half hour or less.  Now I just ask them if they want a deep clean that takes longer to try or a surface clean that will dry fast.  Most will wait out the drying time for better clean.  

You can use it with a protable, and it does a better job then a wand.  I however stopped using it, was getting to many complaints, and have gone back the the rx-20.  I still use it on area rugs works great, but wish I wouldn't have invested in this tool.  Would try it out for you self before you buy one.  Thats not a bad price for a used one think I pick mine up for around $1800.

The Drimaster is a great tool and very easy to use. Saves your back from wand fatigue. As it says it's unique method of putting down and picking up water is very efficient. Carpets dry much quicker than other methods allowing you to offer a quicker drying service. Many consumers are willing to pay more for faster drying service.
