anyone using the sx-15?

I have heard nothing good about the 15. if you have liked the sx-12 you will like the Turbo-Hybrid waaaay better. Better water pick up, lower profile = easier work.

It works like the sx-12 is supposed to. Has a lower profile so it can get under most toe kicks and it. Has better water retrieval. Lasts longer ........

The Turbo-Hybrid is the original tile spinner if I remember right and the sx-12 is just a bad knock off.

I actually have the original Turbo made by turbo force.

Oh yeah it is also not as flimsy as the sx12.

I have the sx-15 love it
Its sturdy has the 2in vac port gets closer to the edge oh yeah it's 15inches cuts my time in half

I love my Turbo Hybrid by Turbo Force- really a great tool.

I've got the SX 12, don't love it, don't hate it. Wish I had a turbo hybrid (because not being able to get under a toe kick is stupid), but I got my sx 12 off of craigslist for like $75. I bought it with about 5 other tools for $225. I got a gekko awhile back and that thing is amazing. I can totally see why Todd went the route he did, I was considering getting the 14" version.

I have heard that they lowered the height of the sx15. I looked at an sx 15 at my supplier and it looked just about the same (maybe they lowered the sx12's now?) I don't know how I would feel about that big of a tool on a bathroom floor? i always felt like the 12" was pretty fast, and if it had a fault it was that it was awkwardly tall.

I want to get one of those! that looks great. I like the brushes for doing travertine or anything that is a little uneven.

I can't recommend a small 5.5" gekko enough. I think I paid $150 for it on ebay. It was a huge help! I get a lot of bathroom floors and small kitchens.

I had gotten mixed reviews from people, some don't like them I guess. Once I got it though I knew it was going to be useful for the small spaces I tend to do.

The SX-15 cleans a 25% wider path. So the speed is a great advantage.

It has a new design for the vacuum and a new laminar water flow so that it gets the floor drier than the original SX-12 or any of the Turbo models. Drier floors can also save time.

The vacuum is adjustable with a toe kick for convenience.

The machine is heavier constructed.

The profile is lower than the SX-12 and lower than the Turbo Hybrid. This allows the SX-15 to get under any toe kick.

We have been getting good feedback since it was introduced a couple months ago.

The SX-12 is no longer being produced.

I think I'm going to sell my 14 inch gekko tool and get me of those PMF tile wands like Todd.

Hate that gekko with it short handle.

Did they put a vacuum release on it? I hated the SX-12 because it would lock down on flat tiled floors...the turbo let me control the vacuum

My SX12 has a vacuum break on the upright tube.

Yes, there is a vacuum break on the SX-15. It can be adjusted with your foot.

There is also a choice of a brush or a hard flat boot on the bottom. That will make a difference in how likely either tool is to suck down to the floor.

We have had the sx-15 for 2 months now and are very impressed with it on the large tile and hard surface jobs we have done. We cleaned an entire indoor track with 1 sx-15 and 1 turbo hybrid, the sx-15 did about a 1/3 more sq. footage than the hybrid. For small jobs the sx-15 is too much, but anything over 500 sq ft we break it out. I also like the quick change setup for the hard and soft rings. The only issue we have had is the hard ring seems to wear out prematurely.
