Thanks for the info I was just asking because with white or light colored carpets they tend to stain on the edges , but I guess my crevice tool can handle.

Steam King,
It can get close, because of the spinning heads, but I think using a wand may get into the corners, and along the wall a bit better, or at least more controllably.  The good thing about the edges of walls is that they typically are not high traffic areas.  In my experience anyway.  Your miles may vary.

How does the rotovac do on the edges of the carpet by the walls?

Jack, you could pants-clean carpets without the teflon. You're that good.

Would pads somehow treated with teflon remain absorbant? Maybe you'll find a workable solution, but I doubt I'd be satisfied with a pad driver solution on that machine. A 35 pound pad driver would seem gutless by any standard. I'm open to being proven wrong, though.

When my business partner and I expand, I'd like to get a truckmount and run the RX-20 off of that; the extraction will be beefier, so I don't think I'll be as dependent upon such a robust pad driver as my Hawk buffer. I can get the pad driver attachment for the RX-20 at that point, and I'm sure that would be sufficient. Then, I think I'd like to use the 360 with my portable set-up: 360, Hawk, Ninja 500. Big smile I don't mean to hijack the thread here . . . just using my keyboard to "think out loud," as it were. I really hope the 360 is as good as it appears, because I'd love for it to be part of my eventual expansion.
 
 
Michael: If the Teflon were applied equally all over the pad you would certainly be correct about a lose of absorbancy happening. However it is not necessary to do that. The area of the pad that gives the greatest friction to turning is located only on the outside edge of the pad. By treating only that portion of the cotton pads with the teflon, it is possible to reduce 1/2 the friction of the pad, but retain over 90% 0f the pads innate absorbancy. That is how we do it with our Superpads. They can easily be driven with this machine using a pad driver.
