Mr. Patel; this is an American made machine. I don't know why everyone immediatly thinks China when they see a new piece of equipment come to the market. I am thinking that India would be a much better choice to lower the cost of a machine. After all, they are a democracy over there, eh? ------------- Inventor of the Teflon Wand Glide and the Turboteck Rotary Air Duct Cleaners for TMs. |

The Activator is made for us in sunny California. The manufacturer wants to enter the market with big volume and set the price low to do so. Although I don't see the price staying there too long.

Actually Chuck, the Chinese don't even want to talk to any small manufacturer unless there is a Million dollars or more involved. The Idians have a very low labour cost as well, and will do deals as low as $20,000 or more, which is much more practical for a small businessman starting a project.I have looked into both countries for manufacturing goods, and the Indian prices are just as competitive on the smaller goods orders. ------------- Inventor of the Teflon Wand Glide and the Turboteck Rotary Air Duct Cleaners for TMs. |

Regarding checks: This is a bad testimonial to this Industry however, over the past years we have collected $45,000.00 of worthless checks. Enough to wall paper with. In fact, we still have every bad check to this day as a reminder and evidence just in case someone asks, "Why not, you can trust me!" Oh, absolutely. Therefore, please forward a bank check! (But, nowadays, we are much smarter.)
Good Fortune and sorry for the bad news Gentlemen; Ed Valentine |

Don't quote me on this, but when I asked Ted this question, I believe he said $12 each. That would be Canadian dollars. To you Americans that is near $10 in your currency. ------------- Inventor of the Teflon Wand Glide and the Turboteck Rotary Air Duct Cleaners for TMs. |

Steamer and doug, The Activator does not have a locking device on the handle. It free floats and a water tank may make it too heavy to handle plus the water may vibrate out of the tank. I sold one to a cleaner who came from Montreal on Saturday. He used the method of allowing pads to soak in a ringer type janitorial bucket and wrang them out before using. It works very well as I have found that if you do not use enough pre-spray the pad dries out very quickly due to friction.

I believe Padman can have a spray system because this unit actually has wheels touching the carpet elevating the weight problem. I feel we will be selling this unit soon. I first want to get a better feel for satisfaction with the http://www.kleenkuip.com/products/the_Activator.htm - Activator . Our web is now creating many Activator Inquiries from the U.S.A.
