   Mr. Steamer, G'day back to you
too... one type of  Australian slang is to shorten and add an " ie
" to the end of words, you'd just be, "Steamie" around here I
think.  Steamy Mr. Steamer: Carpet & Rug Cleaner... there's a
really dirty limirick in there somewhere!

Adwa, thanks for the
welcome.  THe FX-88 takes two cords, but I'm on 220 volts, and I
can plug them in to the same outlet without tripping a breaker. 
The RX-20 then has it's own cord.  To get maximum heat, I 
use the customer's hot water, then run it through an electric heater,
so that's a FOURTH cord.  I usually reserve that for pubs or the
really grotty jobs.  I did a pub last night (8:30 PM - 3 AM
*whew*) where the manager had been there for 8 months and had not in
that time had the carpets cleaned.  This is a pub where the local
motorcycle gang hangs out all night, and the factory workers after
their shifts late at night are usually lined up at 7 AM when it opens,
and the vineyard workers hit it in the afternoon.  Busy &
Filthy.  All the cr*p melted straight off.  

I can't comment on how it compares with other systems, but I know this:
after 7 years of slamming portable users,  my dad mirrored my
set-up for his operation in California, and his old truckmount is now
rarely used.  To be fair, though, it was an older unit.  I
will get a truckmount at some stage, if our company survives!

Thanks again,

Allen

	Welcome Allen I see you have a sense of humor, which is good because you will need it from time to time posting here. How do you find using the FX88 and RX-20 together. I have heard the FX is pretty powerful and you would have to be using three cords. Are you on 110volt or 220volt?

	Been lurking for a couple of days here, and just thought I'd say hello. Our company, Surroundings, is based in South Australia. We started up in February, but my dad has a carpet cleaning place in California, so it's not 100% new to me. I've been here in Australia since '91. Got an FX 88 HP portable and an RX-20. Besides carpet, there's lots of slate floors and tiles that my customers have me clean. About half my work so far has been domestic, but I've got a couple of pub owners and winerys that have started using our company. I think they know that they'll get all their money back from me anyway.... -Allen
