Wonderful and VERY TRUE comment, Willy.

I know and have witnessed "many, many situations" over our 30+ years where it has been proven that "Money talks................................and bullshiz walks!"

(I will keep the specific companies and individuals confidential on this one!)

CRI is full of shiznit. You pay tour money, we'll certify. Think about it. A POS like the RD gets a cert, while much better equipment is not listed. The claim is the mills won't recognize anything else and void warranties. Now the crux is, I went out yesterday to remove some loom oil and fix some roll crush for a large mill. I no longer have IICRC certs as when they jumped in bed with CRI, I boycotted. But I have the skills they need. Didn't matter then or now.

Yeah. And another thing, RD brochures tell the consumer NOT to go over TWO passes to prevent saturation. So why in the hell does their gold cleaning system procedure require 4 passes??
Thats AFU.

Exactly what I'm saying. we've done some equipment testing in a controlled environment with real world dirt. Take my word for it, the RD doesn't even deserve bronze status. It makes the whole CRI testing program appear bogus. I wouldn't want my equipment tested and listed on the same site as something you can rent from the grocery store. It gives the consumer the wrong idea

The money grab wouldn't surprise me. But so you know, Rug Doctors are certified Bronze as an extractor. The only gold certification they carry is as a "cleaning system" When used with special products. I have no clue what a cleaning system means. But it requires 4 passes. RD only kicks out 32 PSI... that isn't good no way/no how.

You could have bought a RugDoctor if you wanted gold. The CRI SOA is nothing but a money grab. Send them money and they will approve your machine. Their testing procedure is bogus. No real world dirt.

Of course this is just my opinion

Willy,

Odd that none of your machines are Gold Rated by the Carpet and Rug Institute. Not saying they aren't any good, the specs look great.   I wanted a gold rated product. And I bought one after seeing a demonstration. Jump all over that if you want. I'm happy with it.
