How long should it take me to clean, last weekend I was in a customers house who had 4000 sq ft. of carpet, I started cleaning at 11:45am and didn't finish until 8:45pm and I didn't have to move barely anything and I only took a break for 10 mins because she offered me something to eat and I took it cause by that time I was starving. That seemed way to long to be in that customers house even though it was 4000 sq ft. Is that amount of time in a home of that size normal? ------------- I got money in the bank, but E on the tank. |

You have to get this time factor out of your head. It takes how ever long it takes to do the best job you can with what you have. ------------- Just My opinion |

I just don't want this to become an issue with my customers, have you guys ever had a problem with upsetting your customers because you've been in their home all day? ------------- I got money in the bank, but E on the tank. |

There's no way you'll be able to be clean faster witha portable with 100 psi and single vacuum. Besides that, you can't compare with a TM, ever, if you have to manually refill and dump.
If you get auto fill and dump you'll have so many hoses and cords going through the customer's house that it will look strange to the customer, in addition to slowing down your mobility within the house. Not only do you have to hook up all those hoses, but you have to clean under and around them. You end up looking like a spider, with your multiple cords and hoses going in all directions, and you anchored in the middle with the box and wand.

Did you just describe the Titan 10,000 SXXXMMMII. Prototype? ------------- Just My opinion |

That one stays at your shop. You just bring the hoses to your custy's house, even if its 50 miles away. I think it's wireless too  -------------
