I would be grateful for the experience and not expect to be paid, but that's just me.

The US Products machine is $2700. I know the guy sells them, but he seemed very sincere when I asked which machine he would buy if he could have ANY portable. He said the CleanMaster. ($3100) John, what do you think of the Cross-American Recoil or the Ninjas?

Sooooo, does no response mean nobody uses either machine? I did approximately 5,000 sq. ft. yesterday with the US Products machine. It is an exact copy of the Advance Aqua-clean 15 I used years ago. Right down to the sh**ty gasket on the waste tank that kept falling off, getting sucked in, etc. Please forgive my ignorance guys. As I said, I'm new to the business and these were the first machines I have had a chance to really look at. I'm here because I want to learn as much as possible from the pros who have been cleaning carpets for years. I'm even trying to find a local company that would let me do a ride-along to see how it's done right. Kind of touchy as we would be competing against each other, but worth a shot. Thanks, Dave
