Holed RX-20 Glides..........Impressive!!!..

I finally got around to installing these holed RX glides I bought a long time ago.   I hardly ever use the RX anymore so I wasn't in a hurry.

But w0w, they're really cool.  I was totally amazed how quick the carpet dried with them.

I had the yellow Mytee Banana glides on there, and carpets would be left considerably wetter than using my glided wand to clean.

But today I used these holed glides for the first time on cheap apt. grade nylon carpet, and I'm not kidding it was dry in 15 min.  And this was a carpet that was filthy, that I soaked with pre-spray, and then made two wet cleaning passes on, so that's why I was so shocked it was dry so fast. The RX cleaned just as well if not better with them too.

I've heard holed glides dry faster, but I had no idea, never using them how much better they were.......makes me want a holed glide for my wand.

New Holed glides.....




Old Mytee glide

I think I'll be using my RX more often now because of them.

I have holes on my RX from GG, but the holes aren't that big. Those look the size of an ink pen....that would explain the dry time.

I still bring out that machine on occasion and always end up asking myself why I don't use it more often? Then I lift it into the van....oh, that's why.

That's what I thought when I looked at the pictures, the holes looked huge, but really that aren't that big..........maybe half or 2/3rds the dia. of a ball point pen, really.

And you hit the nail on the head again, the RX's weight. That's the reason I don't drag it out much, it's just too heavy to load/unload for an old weak guy like me.

I've never used a Rotovac, but with it's lack of weight, I can't see it doing the job the RX does?

We should do a rotovac floater ? I'm definitely in for that !

We should do an RX-20 floater, for you young and strong guys like you, DP!

If you want to know what a real rotary cleaner is like!

The holes are a lot smaller than they look in the first pics.......

are those the ones with the screw stems on the back side??? do they take the place of the shoe on there???

and I have both the RX and 360i. A while back I broke the gear in the 360 at the start of 10 houses I was doing about 1:30 away from home (i just stay in a hotel, they can only be done from 9-3 so i do 3 a day)

Anyway, so I had to break out the RX......ummmm on houses, what a pita....360 allllll day, and just because its not heavy, dont think for a minute it doesnt dig in.....

Now I have never used the trex or the jr....I have used the Hoss...it was ehhhh ok....

But a check between the jr and the 360 would be interesting
