Regarding the Group and it's friendliness I didn't mention that we are a strict group. We don't allow negative behavior towards other members and have blocked violators. Actually, someone from here crossed the line with another member and got removed in their first few hours. It was...

I just wanted to invite anyone who is interested in sharing their pics, videos, and commentary to a new Facebook group open to anyone who has an interest. Don't let the title of the group discourage you, because it is for anyone who likes to clean things, and the equipment used to do so. There...

Eureka Powerline and Ridgid Buckethead (Emerson)

Ridgid WD1450 Wet Dry (Emerson)

I own an X-3 and a couple of the older Mighty Pro models. I have seen the newest RD at rental kiosks, and available on Amazon etc. It's more expensive than the X-3, and imho not built to the same standards at all. The RD company supposedly has changed their company philosophy, and is trying to...

Another thing to consider... A lot of professional rug cleaners (as a step in wet cleaning) turn the rug upside down on a clean smooth surface and vacuum from the back side. You want a vacuum that beats and vibrates the carpet to shake the dirt from the base off onto the floor. After carefully...

Another machine you might consider... I don't know how much you want to spend, but this is yet another small professional level floor scrubber that you can check out (and there are video's out there for it too). It's called the Powr-Scrub, and Powrflite sell it here...

tazcatsdad Bingo! I actually was kept awake for awhile trying to remember it. There are a few others makers of this type cleaner. The Italians seem to be one of the biggest sources of them for some reason.

Keep in mind though... I looked at the Clarke model before, along with another Italian model (the brand escapes me)and the Karcher. I talked to someone who had tried some of these professionally (the Clarke was the latest one he'd used. The thing about these machines is that they tend to break...
