First and foremost the RotoVac® is an electric power scrubbing tool. Comparing the RotoVac® to a wand is like comparing a skill saw to a hand saw. We have converted a back and forth manual task to a much easier and more efficient rotary mechanized operation. Which makes more cleaning passes per minute than is possible with a manual scrub wand. In addition, the cleaning passes are from all directions rather than just back and forth. This is what produces better cleaning results for you.
Does the RotoVac® work on all types of carpet?The RotoVac® has a carpet pile height adjustment wheel which allows it to work on all installed over pad carpet, and most commercial glue downs.
What is the dry time of the RotoVac® compared to a wand?
The RotoVac® on average leaves the carpet about 20 times drier when compared to a manual scrub wand under similar conditions.
