Thread: Finally bought my equipment!!

I finally bought the RV CFX with the 360i.

I'm so excited to get started on my business!

Ill post the results of my 1st job.... our own Berber carpeting, when I receive the equipment.

Which CFX? 2-2 or 2-3? Did you get the brush head and or the bonnet head?

Good luck, I would recommend you to read as much as you can on your equipment that way no surprises arise.

Congrats on your new setup...I think that is a great setup too. I would like to eventually add those to my new business!

My dream of a CFX/docking station/360i set up was almost shattered yesterday while reading another post of the concerns of so many cords and hoses. Three cords to run the CFX and docking station, another cord to run the 360i, one solution hose, one vacuum hose, one drain hose. Cords and hoses everywhere! I really want this setup, but now I'm wondering if this combo is going to be more of a hassle than a back and time saver. Someone please, talk me back to buying the CFX package. Show me the light again!

Brad, you're the daddy! Congrats!

Its the RV CFX package

power pod w/ 2 - 3 stage vacs
360i
wand
upholstery tool
inline chem sprayer
groomer
all cords & hoses
box of chems
and the 'stuff' - dvd, marketing materials, etc

3K plus shipping

I was going to ask on here if it was a good deal....
But I thought it was and I didnt want any unwelcome bidders

RV rep quoted me 4600 plus shipping for same package.

They had it for 3400 but no one bid. They then relisted it for 3000...still no bidders. I bid on it with 15 sec left.
My greedy side wanted to see if they would relist a 3rd time for maybe 2500...I was afraid they wouldnt relist it a 3rd time though.
I would have been pee-oed!

I've been searching ebay and CL for a deal for 7 months!

So you bought the package on Ebay? New or used?

used

they claim to have used it 2 times...
who knows...

I know that exact listing your talking about. I was kind of considering it myself . However I wanted to "buy" the support of the rotovac customer service and I'm not sure if I would have gotten that if I didn't buy from them. Also I wasn't sure if that CFX was a 2-2 or a 2-3 and I really want to get the 2-3. Anyways you got a great deal on that setup, a good $1500 off.

Good luck I hope everything works out well for you.

Well...I tell ya... If I spent $35K on a truckmount set-up, I'd be telling "everyone" that truckmount is the way to go!

I'd have to!

You got that right. Having a Porty with all the hoses and cords can be a real pain. TM has to be easier and more efficient by far, not to mention look more professional.

From the little experience I have with the 360 and berber carpet, I would have to say using the wand on this type of carpet looks much nicer when done. I cleaned My grams carpet twice with the 360 and was never satisfied with the end result until I wanded it yesterday and it made all the difference in the world. Make sure you rake the 360 marks out before it dries or its a pain to get them out later. I found that out the hard way.
