Maxima kept us all in suspense. He sucked our brains dry and left us all hanging. Does anybody think he actuallly purchased equipment of do you think it was just nightrider pullling our chains one more time. Edited by Carpetologist |

Anybody have a pic of the Nordic 1 I keep hearing about?? Hey, Maxima ROI's vary in this industry. I believe the record for a one man truck is $357,000.00 yr. SS's around my area pull in close to $2,000,000.00 yr. |

I will keep You posted with regards to my equipment buying decisions. Yes, I agree with You. Did You know in board room meetings there is a terminology for that, it is called: " The Shot Gun Approach " They say its not good to have too many business's , Makes it hard to focus, the shotgun shell has a spread and has a tendancy to hit different objects, As opposed to the rifle, Bullseye, You can focus better at one target, Translation for that would be increasing the quality & Profitablility of the current business and making each individual customer happier. So the main decision for me is do I want to get into yet another venture. The 2nd decision I am faced with is the equipment. Thanks in Advance, Chris  |

Just go buy a Hoover and be done with. I think that will be even more than you are capable of?

maxima, If you look and re-read suggestions that pros have made to you over the last week or so and don't take them you may find yourself productive with more aggravation than you really need. Since you are not doing this necessarily for money I would now suggest that you scratch the idea and look for a more pleasant way to spend your spare time. The rest of us need to do this to survive. You still have an out. Take it. This is not an easy business. However you accumulated your money keep doing it. And tell us all how. We may switch. |

Go for the Prowler. I love mine! Buy it get open . Its going to be much more power than you will need. Plus the fact when you do most commercial jobs you have to use a portable anyway!
live it love learn it clean it

Of course you entertain his love for a prowler...it's what you want to hear. So many beginners fail because they try to be big on a small budget....
As a professional ..I know I can use a prowler(housewife's tool)...with Carmel for soap But as a beginner, you're just going to screw up... A beginner should have professional equipment...and quality cleaning products until they know what they are doing.... it's better you get into a used TM for 10 grand.... you'll love it so much...you'll end up buying a new one...

JTUSEO:
You seem not to have such a problem with the Prowler as many of these other members do, Why is that? Your Confidence in the Prowler makes me want to listen to what You have to say about it, Because I want to believe, I'm trying to believe it is the machine for me at the moment, in this particular time in my carpet cleaning career. To me it almost seems like a step up from a porty, but a step down from a truck mount. Which is exactly what I'm looking for, Unless, someone can convince me otherwise that I would be wasting my money and should just get the recoil 3 quad pack for NOW. What do You think? I just dont want to be confined to residential jobs and apartments, I want my advertising dollars to work the hardest for me, I wouldnt want to pay a $200 month phone book bill, only to tell my customers sorry I dont have big enough equipment to handle your school or restaurant. GET what I'm saying. I need diversity without commiting a truck to the job. Something I can put in a truck and take out on the weekends. Or maybe something Economical in price that I could put in a Enclosed Trailer.  Thanks, CHRIS |
