Ok gang I will no longer bash OP..... I just want to hear each of you have something positive to say about HWE....

THIS IS ME CALLING YOU OUT...lol

Y'all talk about OP bashing but you yourselves have nothing goood say say about anything other than OP

no no Diva... I need to see it in this post

I own a TM and a portable, don't use them much, but once upon a time I found them the only way to deal with heavy urine situations, now we have created products to do the job with padding.

I used my portable to clean furniture for 23 years, but now the new products make that unneccessary.

I clean carpet, furniture, wood, concrete, grout and tile, vinyl tile, vct, brick and do it all with the OP. Because I build them? Nope, because of the ease of use and the quality of the job.

I am not some guy who doens't KNOW HWE , I just don't prefer it.

With that said, a good HWE guy does GREAT work, but there are FEW great HWE guys around.

So there you have both, positive and negative.. now we got balance..LOL

HERE WE ARE....

Padman, Pad Mama and Pad Chic from the South

Pad Don, Pad Diva, and Little Pad Prince from the North

Your GREAT north American Pad Family

Here to Defend OP to no END

A Force not to be reckoned with!

LOL

See Diva.. I hate to say this but....you're a typical woman....

Men will try to compromise, they may even say things they don't whole heartedly believe to keep peace..

but a woman, when you get something into that brain, and you hold on to a fact, you've got what I call the VULCAN DEATH GRIP...

you'll never let it go...

Women don't know any better anyways, they think they are leading but they are doing what they where designed to do follow and support

praise god

VULCAN DIVA GRIP

Why is it that Diva et al think they are the only padders here??

I have had an OP machine for a couple of years now, I love it and will likely buy another one soon.

Sure won't be an Orbitec either

We no longer have our Orbitec Lee.  I agree with you on that one.  Doug and Steamer like to pull our chain and we do the same.  That's all. 

If you read our first response to Doug when he put his foot in his mouth regarding OP we said it was another tool to add to our arsenal.  I find it quite amusing that people have such a passionate opinion about something they have not even tried.  At least we are speaking from the vantage point of seeing both sides of the fence.  I wonder how p'ed off they would be if someone who never picked up a wand came on the board badmouthing truckmounts saying they soak carpets, damage carpet fibres because of the heat, and do an inferior job to portables (all false by the way).  Well maybe not the soaking part.

You see guys, we DO come from both sides of the issue, for experience with BOTH.

But we can talk carpet cleaning without bashing each other AS LONG as we understand we ALL CLEAN carpets and clean them well.

The fact is one works mans work is never good enough for the other.

This place is one big infomercial... Ted should get paid air time... at least we've had a little break from Kenny
