How many of you have a Dri Eaz Rover

[Mikey P]

and at what point do you whip it out?

2-Rovers, 2-Extreme Extractors, we always whip it out!

Rover's are the first choice because they steer so much easier. The Extreme extractor may pull a little more but the speed of the Rover wins out because you can maneuver it so much faster.

a couple problems with both units I think, most of my customers want the pad out, it doesn't matter what I tell them, they want it out. also in basements where we work typically the concrete is so cool that its difficult to dry the pad without ballooning the carpet. so with that in mind I have a water claw that I use on small jobs and small jobs that the customer is having to pay out of pocket. unless you are extracting a lot of pad I would just buy a water claw

Steve, Not sure why you have such a hard time drying pad...

Sure a claw is cheaper, but who has all day to do a good job with it? Spending the money to buy equipment that does a better job... QUICKER only makes sense. A claw is fine, but you feel like poking an eye out after properly extracting a large basement.

I hear ya Steve," in place" drying a felt pad over concrete, under a Berber carpet in a cool damp basement can be frustrating.
I have both the large water claw and the hydro-x EE. The hydro-x removes a little more water, but to do a thorough sub surface extraction with either tool is a slooooow process.

I thought that was Cleavon Little from Blazing Saddles saying "Let me whip this out."
