Rotovac are on-the-ball a well ahead of the curve. They have metal dentures to install and will be available very soon. This is simply to nice of a unit to be recieving bad press. Keep in touch with Rotovac, they or their distributors will look after you.

I believe that because the teflon shoes are been roughened up by the nails on the tack strips they do dot slide as ease as they should over the surface of the carpets creating to much friction and making the motor work harder. We will be better of if Rotovac address this issue quickly to prevent this great machine from delivering a trouble free service.

That is a good point. My teflon heads on my 360 are hacked up a little, but I think it actually seems to help a little. I filed mine down a little so they dont snag though. The new 360 motors seem to have a problem though. My first motor of 2 months ago bought the biscuit, and they sent me a new one under warranty. It seems they fixed a component in the gear box that makes them more durable. Well, my new one overheated one day. It actually stopped working for a few minutes. I guess this first gen of 360's needs to get a few kinks out. The new motor rotates a tad slower than the original. I am pretty positive of this because I used the original a lot, and the new "more durrable" motor rotates a little slower. Overall, it is money well spent since Rotovac told me I have a life time warranty on the thing. They have made good on this with 2 pretty costly parts shipped to me at no charge. Anyhow, happy rotovacing!

I had the same problem with my Rotovac. In just a few uses the glides were also very ate up from things like tack strip, etc. I think that this may actually be a benefit however, since it acts sort of like glides do, allowing the air to flow faster across those striations in the teflon.

THE TEFLON GLIDES ON THE ROTOVAC 360 NEED TO BE HARDER THAN THEY ARE BECAUSE THE TACK STRIPS NAIL ON THE EDGES WEAR THEM EASE. HOW DO YOU THINK THEY CAN BE IMPROVED?

Yes I am a distributor of Rotovac and other fine products in Toronto and owner of this website. The reason I am drawing you out on saying good things about the 360 is that other carpet cleaners are listening and will believe you.
Now, me being a salesman people will only think that I am attempting to sell them one. Most people look at purchasing as a cost to them as opposed to cleaning faster and better with less physical labour.
It's worth the drive to KK to check out the 360.

Alright man, this is the last time I am going to say it, The 360 is great. For those of you doubters, don't buy one, leave all the profits for us.
Tologist, where you out of? Why are you so gun hoe on the 360? Are you a distributor or something?

Celestialcarpet,
You are breaking your promise. You said that you are finished telling everyone how good the 360 is as you want to capitalize on the market and take customers away from wanders. I guess it is just so good you simply can't get it out of your mind and you just want to preach the gospel on the 360.
Good for you.

Now I think you have it. The only benefit to a portable is that you can close the doors behind you -ie banks etc. that might like that. A truck mount with added degrees is definately worth noticing.
My 360 is awesome with the portable, and I could definately use some more temp.
The 360 literally saves old carpets. My clients can barely believe it.

CelestialCarpet,
You just may be right. In my opinion a 360 with a portable does as good a job + maybe better depending on the operator compared to a truckmount & wand.
A truckmount + a 360...now you have the ULTIMATE, ULTIMATE.
Work Smarter, Not Harder

I think he was saying that some people would claim to wand with results
just as good as the 360, though others are more willing to admit the
benefits of the 360, especially employees who aren't typically as
willing to put as much into wanding as an owner/operator.

I think Ted was giving you a compliment because you have moved beyond the wand(what approx 90% of cleaners use) and getting superior cleaning results because of it.

I am sorry, I just don't understand what you are saying in your last post. How about my employees? They love it! The 360 is the cats meow, and I am done telling people about it, because I don't want competition. Hey all you old carpet cleaners out there - don't by the 360, it sucks. (Secretly, I going to take all your clients with my new machine)
