It’s a world market out there, and everything is for sale in the free market. Like Brian3180 mentioned, buying Verizon may or may not be a good investment. I remember Mercedes Benz bought The Chrysler Corporation, and boy, did they ever step into a stinkydo on that one.LOL.

An old van with high miles and an old machine with high hours. Hmmmmmm. Let’s see.......$5000-$6000 if everything is working. The new owner gets to start paying for the repairs and upkeep from this point on.

Yes of course, you must comply with local laws. The pumpout hose can pump 100’ of waste water easily to appropriate drains.

I thrive on that 8 year old McDonalds hamburger.

The doctor was wrong. Stomach cancer is rare (200,000 cases a year). Now, lung cancer and heart disease I could believe. Lots of smokers still and a lot of fatties in our profession.

I don’t use a CRB but do prescrub with my 360i using a red pad. I will often leave the TM off and prespray using a pump-up, at least at the entrances,edges and transition points. Then switch to the swoop head. Turn on the TM, quickly finish prespraying with a HF, then run the 360i hooked to the...

I’ve actually amputated fingers twice in my life. It does suck, but you get over it. And adapt. I’m not even aware of these little life souvenirs now. Good luck in your healing process.

I get about a dozen spam calls a day. It takes me about .2 seconds to determine whether or not it is a customer or not, so about 10 seconds are wasted. The spam calls are useful simply to make sure my phone is easily accessed without fumbling, then I just hang up or talk dirty.

I answer my own phone. I used to have someone take the calls and book the appointments, and that was nice and stress-free, like being an employee. But it’s pretty easy nowadays with a small cell phone and pocket calendar if you try to always answer when a customer calls before it goes to voicemail.

Soap Daddy makes my favorite pet stain and odor treatment with their P-Sor. At 6-8 oz per gallon dilution and costing $32/gal it is an economical and very effective enzyme product with a subtle, fresh fragrance that eliminates urine odors. I love it.

My biggest challenge is the same one it’s always been throughout the decades I’ve been doing this work: keeping healthy and strong and injury-free. And it’s a good thing to focus on; here I am at 62, healthy and strong and injury-free doing the same hard work I did at 19. The business just runs...

This is such a bizarre thread. You have a contract to make monthly payments. You either made them or you didn’t. Something isn’t right. How hard can it be to verify 11 payments?

Here’s the 15 gallon version. I like to keep the machine outside to pump the waste onto the lawn or the foundation plantings and keep the noise and stank and humidity outside.

I highly recommend the dual 3 stage CFX. I’ve used one now for about five years, the first year was the original small tank version ( 5gallon recovery), but I went to the large 15 gallon recovery tank because the small CFX tended to blow waste water through the vac motors (and kill them). Hook...

My air hog had serious design flaws that were frustrating and infuriating and rendered it useless to me, but I really like and use the CFX frequently.

I have both the CFX and Air Hog. Both are dual 3 stage models and I wouldn’t recommend anything but the dual 3stage versions of either. I’m not looking to sell, just a random response about them. I use the CFX a lot, it is the 15 gallon model, and it is a decent backup to my truck mount...

Well you’ve certainly muddied the water Rob. I don’t use any Harvard Product other than the prespray they formulate for Mark Saiger, but their chemist posted they don’t use OB in in any of their products and didn’t update their one data sheet on the HD extraction product but did so after you...

Dang Rob. That's a nasty slander to imply that Saiger Sauce has optical brighteners when it doesn't. I've been using it interchangeably with Grease Eraser for as long as it has been on the market, on hundreds of jobs, and there is no OBs. And it cleans equally well as Grease Eraser as far as I...

I've been using both of these 360is for about 5 years now with their chinsy little motors and have put a few thousand hours on with just replacing the electric brushes one time each. One machine drives the 15" head which blasts through large areas quickly., and the other I use for encapping with...

And yes, I took the 175 off my truck after 35 years and only have the 360i. Actually 2 of them, one has the 15" head attachment and one is the 12"

Sort of, but for the metal swoop heads. A better alternative, and what I use, is the pad driver for the 360i, and I use 13" red pads for synthetic carpets, and white pads for wool carpets and rugs. This is a great system for encapping and bonnet cleaning with cotton or synthetic pads. The pad...

Amtex service department.

I certainly wouldn't use a single cord dual 2 stage porty with a 360i; that's a guaranteed disappointment. The two cord dual 3 stage portys have plenty of vacuum.Coming from long time use of my Pro1200 with it's 500 cfm I wasn't sure the CFX would work with the 360i, but I bought one on EBay and...

Wet for days. LOL. That usually indicates something went horribly wrong. People with TMs can leave the carpet wet for days also. All they have to be is stupid. I think the key to using the 360i successfully is the keeping the felt ring moist. I soak them in water in a Tupperware and put on a...

I really like my CFX, the 15 gallon version, (The 5 gallon model I have sometimes spits waste water out through the vacs). It has plenty of power for the 360i, even with the 15 inch head attachment, and using the Recoil in addition is probably superfluous unless the carpet yarn is very thick...
