I've been using it over the last 3 days under different situations (restaurant CGD, residential lightly dirty, residential heavily soiled) and give it a grade rating of a C. I discovered tha main cause of the problem, an inline water flow restrictor. After removing it, cleaning proficiency was greatly improved. |

| Looking it purchase this unit. Is it any better than previous unit (rx`s and drimaster units) Thanks for the update and the water flow reducer in the unit. The Drimaster unit look similar but does not have the flow reducer. Any further updates in this form are always helpful. |

| PURCHACED ONE LAST WEEK, GUYS USED IT FOR A COMMERICAL REST. JOB WORK GREAT. REMOVE THE FLOW REDUCER , BECAUSE OF COMMENTS FROM OTHER FORUMS BUT DON`T THICK IT WAS REALY NECESSARY. LESS FLEX HEAD MOVEMENT THEN FROM THE RX-20`S WHICH MEANS LESS MAINTENANCE ISSUES. WORTH THE PURCHASE FOR MY GUYS. |

How is it more powerful when the power and the heat are coming from the tm This is just a wind turbine design machine that gives it a zillion passes in a seconds and stands the fiber up deep clean) a restoration which also glides on carpet with very little effort. And they look very similar except tubing moved around which is preference. If anyone has a bad back you would absolutely love either of theses units. Mucjhj lighter than the RX20. Especially going up the stairs. I have been doing olefin carpet using the wand and spots kept reappearing in between visits and I Rotovac 360i them and gone the glass tube helps. Resolved.  |

Two thing are different.
First the electric motor on the Hoss is more powerful.
Second, the glide design is much more aggresive. That lets it both clean better and be more effective, especially in commercial cleaning situations. ------------- Inventor of Teflon Carpet Wand Glides.Free Glides for all Cleaners in June! |

Ok! This is what I would also look at the connection of how they run there chemical and vacuum hose (personal stlye) on you like your harley designed. When you use one for the first time you will know why I said that think , harley . The other reason is Cha Ching ! What is the price difference? I can tell you this rotovac has been great? So far the sapphire removing flow restrictors ?  |

For this $1000 extra the Hoss costs I would still prefer the 360i for most situations. It is still a very good machine. However, if my cleaning were 90% commercial or more, my choice would be the hoss. ------------- Inventor of Teflon Carpet Wand Glides.Free Glides for all Cleaners in June! |

Let it go! this post is for the Hoss 700. Who cares if you got the rotovac or hoss or what dollars amount. I buy for what this company needs for the moment, staff needs and for its quality and production, cost is secondary. I dont care for the child chat. This is a business for adults not children. Dennis

This is a forum we chat about it all. This is what we are here for to learn. Looking at your posts you really don't chat much at all. We all purchase what our company needs therefore I agree with you to a point. If you don't care about why or what, then why did you post that you have one. After reading the posts we have compared and have been discussing the product of pros and cons. Sometimes you have to do a little more than just be able write a check. |

Who in the ...   anyways . These are great restoration units. Lightweight and I have charged extra money to use them. Makes the fibers stand up giving it that deep clean after drying its like walking on a pillow.Tools like this makes you the best. |

Not as good John.
And you have to do all the work, which is the purpose to use higher dollar equipment in the first place IMO. ------------- Inventor of Teflon Carpet Wand Glides.Free Glides for all Cleaners in June! |

| The Hoss needs to be modified with full width nozzles or it cleans way too slowly. Once modified, it is much better on CGD than the RV360i and I agree with Ken, it is much better built. I also agree that, because of the 5 vac head design, is more suitable for a big TM than a small one or a 2-vac portable. |

| Too bad Rotovac could not put the type of quality into their RV360i that the Zipper folks put into their wand. Now that would be worth the money. |

Never heard of the zipper I just you tubed it and it looks more like a double vacuum wand with a a row of alot of jets. There is no turbine to it. It seems like one solid bad boy unit great for a tech that cannot get the hang of using a wand. I still like the rotovac 360 i  |
