Hey um Mardie mate...... Look I don't do this beating up on respondents thing, not my gig.
But your comment here kind of concerns me a bit. Looking at his video, there is just no way that he was insufficiently resourced to clean that carpet. You know I'm not in ANY WAY taking away from what he did because he's a titan and I'm an ant, but even as an ant I could have cleaned that job too, and I have a 175 and a Bissell Big Green. Now what would have happened if I had been given the job is that it would have taken longer and I would have had to have done a lot more manual work than he did. And the drying time will favour him too.
Now to be honest, I also happen to think you could have done that job. But the limiting factor for you will be volume of soil recovery. You will clean faster than me, I will clean deeper than you.
And Mikey has both of our strong suits in spades because of his gear.
Guys.....
Mardie was one of the first guys here to give me a warm welcome and a pat on the back. He's good for this board, as is Mikey (obviously) and Doc H. and Goomer and GCCLEE and Ron W. and so many others.
Let's just maybe think about ALL of us getting of each other's cases a. Little bit and getting back to really good discussion. I want o learn a few tricks today if I can.
Make fun of my machine if you like.......
This one.......
There you go, now the differences between you don't seem so significant anymore do they?
Peace.
