Mike: If you are refering to the RSE, it will be next year. Since it is not mine anymore(I sold the rights to it), the market timing is not mine to make. I did reserve the right to make the pads for it though, so will be supplying those to the market in the very near future. I also get to be supplier to the Canadian market.

John, I did not have the resources to bring it to market. The manufacturer that bought the rights will bring it to market. Next year. I am making the pads for it.

Everyone has to make thing to turn a profit... but I think the OP machine is a bit over priced..... 3000 + for a the caddy of op and that doesn't include the pads... sure is a lot for a frame, motor, cord and switch... I'm sure now that they are in mass production... the price could go down a bit... I could probally get one made for 1500 cdn ...and 50 made for 500 cdn what does a 1 hp motor cost 350- 600 bucks?? |

You obviously are not a manufacturer Senor Steamer.
After advertising and sales there is NO money in the machine itself. Just like a TM, they are no more than chemcal dispensers. |

I know the cost to make them. Lets say it is not as low as you think, Mr Steamer. It is also not as expensive as John might want you to believe either. A manufacturer is entitled to a profit, as is a distributor of said product. John is correct that the main profit is in the pads and chemicals for this type of machine. Which is why for the RSE, I sold the manufacturing rights to the machine itself, but kept the option to supply the market with the pads and chemical sales for it. Edited by Superglide Ken |

You don't know the price to make them Ken, where do you get this stuff? You can sit and figure in your living room all day, but I doubt you have much of a clue as to cost. |

You forgot that you told me, John. Last March when I saw you down in Kentucky. LOL. Your memory is slipping. No need for any living room calculations. I also had costing done on your machine with the manufacturer of the RSE as well. It pays to know the cost inputs of both machines when deciding where to set price point for a machine that can pad as well as HWE carpet.

Oh there is money in it , Mr Steamer, but most of it is on the pad and chemical side. John makes money there. Now that he has volume sales happening on the machines these last couple of years, he is making money there as well. Why would he sell them if there was no money on the machine? Because if you don't have a machine, you don't need the chemical and pads either, now do you? LOL
