Just wonder how (much) we would consider it "The Best" in regards to cleaning a carpet? Good thread, and good point made. I also sometimes shake my head in amazement.

Mr. Steamer: One hose for the livingroom, one hose for the diningroom and one hose for the hall. Lets see at $59.95. You can't go wrong? ------------- Just My opinion |

That's Mike Pailliotet's Vortex. He lives in the Santa Cruz area. Believe me, his jobs average WAY more than $100-200. He is hosting Winterfest this year. Tell you what, I get hot just thinkin' about playing with that machine! I've got a Vortex on my wish list...wanna cosign for me? lol. I'd also like one of Padman's machines, a Cimex, a weighted stone polisher, a GLS...and the income to buy them all. Oh well...too bad I'm just another BDCC. Take care, Lisa |

if running multi wands it would be great I guess
and you have the Tim Taylor affect
for one guy it's defineately overkill
but better too much than not enough I guess,the only thing I don't like about the vortex is it doesn't look like there's that much room in them with that big lobster pot in the back but I've never seen one in person.
they would certainly draw attention,but I bet it couldn't outclean one of my tm's with me behind the wand. |

In the GTA that truck would be hell for parking........ what would happen in the winter ??? frozen Vortex??? But I believe with that size of a truck it would be easy to get top dollar... The truck sells itself you guys have to stop looking at cleaning as a $dollar$ amount and start looking at cleaning as an experience.... with that good looking monster infront of your customers house thats one hell of an experience... something they would be willing to pay for ------------- www.mr-steamer.com |

I think there is one of the units in the GTA? I think it would be great to own one of these units. But to run to potential you need a crew. You need to work this unit to potential 3 wands, so. Three techs, 3 helpers unless you want to be continually stopping and moving hose. Now what if you have two good size jobs and one lagre truck? What if that large truck is giving you problems? I still think two smaller units with dual wand capabilites is a better deal for practical purposes. I know I wouldn't be able to get into alot places here. I think my 405's are an overkill for alot of my calls. ------------- Just My opinion |

It's a cab over truck with a big box on the back. Hows that for starters. You must have a difficult time when you park if you can't describe it. I think that is the first signs of something maybe old timers or the likes? ------------- Just My opinion |
