Jeff;

Here is a recent e-mail from Mr. Jim McDannel (727-542-3412) who also uses a RX20 that may help answer your question:

Hello Cross-American,

The RECOIL-3 XPS machine has power, I gotta say thats AWESOME, I was only running the 50ft using the Rx20 on a pretty rough carpet, Im guessing 1hr dry time, I went back and check the living room when I was done with the Bedrooms and it was almost dry to the touch then..

You're unit runs great did a condo today, and got amazing results, simply amazing drying times, You're portable will give my P/C Legend a run for its money..
I don't mind doing the condo work now, before I hated it using a slow unit, man you can really blow through them now..

PS: If you need a reference for florida just let me know, I would be happy to show the machine for you..

Man Ed, I used your machine again today, Every time I hook that thing up Im still impressed, I have two truck mounts, One with a 3.5 blower and a 4.5 blower,
Your portable will give my legend a run for its money on dry times, the legend only cost me 12,000 in 97 if only I had your unit then..

If gas keeps going up, I guess I'll be buying options for the Recoil,

    Jeff-
You may want to rethink carpet cleaning as winter work, after December it slows down drastically. As for circut blowing. I use portys with Rotovac just make sure you do have a circut buddy to insure your on seperate circuts. Also when using the Rotovac you will be going through water fast enough that if you start with Hot water it will still be hot before you run out. Rotovac does a great job but uses much water. On older homes you will blow ciccuts so don't even plug in your heater. Most portys will run 10.5-15amp draws.
