Rotovac for tile

[Ron Werner]

Just wondering if the original Rotovac with its tile brushes is worth considering as a tile tool?
I know a lot of people like the Turbo Hybrid, and some the SX12.

I tried it Ron, and they don't work so well, at least not for me. When I first purchased my Rotovac, I took it to my parents house to do their tile, and we weren't impressed.



I don't know if it's a weight thing or what, I always whip out the 175 for tile. Perhaps the 360 does a better job than the original, I don't know.



But those brush heads do a great job scrubbing carpet, and the weight issue works in favor of the Rotovac while doing steps. Any heavier, and you'd give yourself a hernia!



Another thing about the brush heads on the original, they only squirt and scrub, no vacuum ports like on the 360.

Ronnie, I was not happy with the results on T&G with the rotovac. Works great for encap in small areas and extra aggitation for prespray. I still haven't figured out why they installed the spray jets on the brushes tho, can't suck it up after spraying,

thanks for the feedback.
SOunds like they didn't think it through.
