My personal take of CFX:

The unit has no way of injecting Rinse into the water which is required to neutralize the ph of a carpet.  And while it is simple to do, no change has been made to the system.

Also, what do you do for heat?  Hot tap is not enough.

Then there are all the hoses, etc.  Best way to use the CFX is start from where the machine is and then work outward from that point.

So, if they could create a small siphoning fitting and recommend a heater for inline heating, you could EFFECTIVELY clean carpets using a small car for transporting your equipment and chemicals.  You're not going to be able to handle just any job with the setup but you can do over half of them anyways.

Cross-America makes a good low profile unit although I don't know if it has auto-fill and auto-dump.
Are you in a high paying business or are you just a self employed low paid grunt who thinks this business provides dignity?

I have heard some good things about the CFX or at least good for a tiny portable. I mainly hear people using them with the rtv360 to make up for the lack of heat by the agitation that the 360 brings to the party.  I also hear its a pain to set up.  Good point on not having any chem injection duck. I wonder why they don't have that. Prolly a space concern.
