This machine is currently making us 100-150$ hourly on site, totally worth it before getting a truckmount...

Sweet!

[@Pitbull_expert]

Which model is it? He didn’t say

[@Pitbull_expert]

@@TruckMountForumswhich model is this one in the video?

[@MrSteamFranchising]

Wow, great video Rob. I've mostly promoted ESteam products but that TMF Heat Portable is pretty slick. I especially like the separate circuit indicator and how the electrical is routed so the cords wont get squished in the truck!

[@Jimmy_Moon]

Rob, you are on it. This is what we want to see and know. Thank You!

[@TruckMountForums]

Were setting our sites higher this year. Enjoy!

Do you struggle to find outlets on different breakers to run both machines in a house?

Good day. I'm so glad I found ur channel. What do you recommend for a new business' first tile cleaner?

[@mrjswartzy]

I can’t believe the difference when you use that booster! 😮 Another great video 👍🏼

[@TruckMountForums]

I think it’s a great addition to many Truckmounts on long hose runs.

[@mrjswartzy]

Great idea. You've got me almost convinced here that whenever my truckmount goes, I just need a portable and booster to replace it 😂 super impressed! @@TruckMountForums

[@pearlstinescleaning1395]

Sir, you are masterful at your craft! Your experience of carpet cleaning comes through, on video. Is it possible you can provide any info on the portable and booster you’re using? Make, models, whom ever, wherever I can purchase from. Thanks in advance, Derek

[@TruckMountForums]

Much appreciated.

[@nickc5085]

I bought the dually from TMF. Love it! I do recommend a booster for longer hose runs

[@walterorellana3852]

Very informative video. It is nice to have someone to take the time to give good information, that's why I'm a client of yours.

[@kevinmcqueen9180]

It's pretty easy when he's selling you his products the whole time nothing this man does is free. Lol. That wand is honestly a joke. Lol has a sight so you can look at dirt and water. Trust me without it there still is dirt and cleaner running through it hahah. Oh and the swivel this guy loves that. To do a job right you have to move the furniture anyways I rather take a second and move it then be in my knees like a peasant and have to move it eventually anyways to get it properly clean. He gives some good info but he also feeds some serious wolf tickets. Some people are just better using less.

[@TruckMountForums]

@walterorellana3852 thanks I appreciate that. I like to think while others talk about doing something or talk about someone who I’m busy getting things done. 😉

[@TruckMountForums]

⁠@@kevinmcqueen9180 don’t be salty. We all “sell”. Sales are the “lifeblood” of a business. No shame in that. Actually it’s a shame if one doesn’t sell. They end up short cutting themselves and their families income. The wand has 100’s 5 star reviews by independent cleaners. Most agree once you go swivel you can never go back. Personally I’m not in the moving business and esp I’d never move beds or hutches. But this wand gets under most all of them. So less work and saves time is good for customers and health. BTW, I make all these videos for free and I’m not ashamed to say I appreciate if someone decides to do business with us. Either way I always help whether it’s through our free 2+ million post forum, our million post free FB group or through private messages.

[@kevinmcqueen9180]

@@TruckMountForums well that was a scroll full of assumptions lol. Maybe that wand is a great as you say where can I review the 100s of 5 star reviews you speak of, From " professional cleaners". On your site I only see 20 or so. Where are the rest Bobby. Im interested. Is it better then the evolution wand? Or is it better because you get paid when people buy it. Please again Bobby Im interested.

[@TruckMountForums]

@@kevinmcqueen9180 shop.truckmountforums.com/collections/carpet-wands-tools and shop.truckmountforums.com/pages/reviews shows almost 7k reviews overall for ppl who leave on product pages or just a review in general without on product page.

And what do you do if you need to be moved, washed and cleaned in your place and delivered back? I haven't seen any videos on this subject.

[@john515beach]

Is this a multi part series? I didn't watch the video to the end but didn't see any mention of sales and marketing your business?

[@MONEYHUNGRYMAFIAMEMES]

Hello there How do most customers feel about using their water and dumping the dirty water at their residence?

[@harryknutts8428]

before anything , think about where u want to work and do u have the skills to talk with those people, to work for rich people u need a high level of comunication skill or they wont deal with u , blue collar people are easier to deal with and more willing to give a guy a chance , just my opinion after failing in carpet cleaning , oh and those big mini mansions with a portable will kick your butt , smaller working class homes are easier with a portable , just my opinion

[@Beluel]

Attitude goes a long way!

[@cazadordehumanos5930]

Attitude!!!! Facts. That’s true, even about middle class people. They don’t complain about the machine you are going to use, the only thing they care is the job, if is the carpet clean no problem at all.

[@GM-gj8hs]

So what would you recommend for empty homes or complex that have no water or power?

[@acking1502]

Hello, I’m planning to get a Ninja D200 by tomorrow. Would I be able to clean furniture and inside of cars with it as well? What equipment would I need most? Thanks so much.

[@Beluel]

The Ninja for sure will do the job!

[@TripleSFloorcare]

Hey Rob, our water pressure is really high, how do we lower that? We have tried several things.

[@GM-gj8hs]

Mr Rob, I’m looking for a quality trusted portable machine to purchase for cleaning mattresses, vehicle interior, sofas,and outdoor furniture. Would you recommend a model that would be best fit.

[@JayRider-bd6vd]

How tall and weight is that machine? Would u think it fits in the back of honda hrv ?

[@jeremyzanghi1342]

Just curious, this is the same unit as the "EDGE manufactured by KleenRite" "KleenRite Edge" I've had this same unit for years, only difference Visually is mine is all grey. Did you team up with this company on the build/Re-Brand ??

[@Pitbull_expert]

Can you clean carpets in businesses with these products

[@jcherrera104]

So you get the booster for the vacuum hose and run more then 50 ft now what about the solution hose does that solution hose need a booster or is the machine capable of running more then fifty feet

[@jimd9015]

Only way to boost your solution line is with a Heat Saber.

I’ve been spending on Facebook ads and leaving business cards at local businesses but still no calls, I have a website and Google profile as well. Can I get some advice on how to get calls? I’m also worried people won’t take me serious since I don’t have a cargo van. I’m all portable as of now

Hi, when you start is not easy just go house by house any office building and don’t leave without a number or email, good look.

Rome was not built in a day. The universe rewards the persistent. Keep plugging ahead. Deliver fantastic cleaning results and they will come.

Maybe try doing some free promotional work. One room in a home to convince the client. Do a good job and word of mouth may serve you well. Good luck!

I’ll check today. It’s a new item and sometimes it takes time to register.

Rob, is there a way to buy these 230 volt machines?

[@TruckMountForums]

Yes by special order and build.

[@BenR99]

Portable does not have enough suction. I had to get an airhog. it’s a struggle to find 4 outlets that work on older homes

[@TruckMountForums]

That depends. The ExtremeV we make has the power of a truckmount. Boosters were made for upstairs and long runs mostly.

[@nickc5085]

I agree and recommend a good generator

I am in Africa in Cameroon I really want to work and earn money to help my family

[@aarongallegos2957]

Whats the weight if these portables?

[@TruckMountForums]

Over 100lbs. Don't forget they are made with extra thick platforms so they don't implode and crack under usage or while loading and unloading.

[@Wallsfamilylegacy]

After purchasing the machine and attachments you looking at 7K-8k might as well find a truck already loaded for 10k 🤔🤔🤔

[@noface791]

Yeah those are few and far between though. This is very useful. Even with a truck mount you still need to have a portable for jobs that require it so starting out with one isn’t the worst thing ever. Probably the second best route.

[@WESLEYUSA23]

[@alextchuisseu1158]

Are at Ottawa ?!!

[@Hallahanify]

If you follow all these steps the prevacuum, crb, hwe, post bonnet and then groom with rake i feel like you would be at a house for like 6 hours. I see gurus saying theyre doing "premium carpet cleaning" doing a 2k sf house in an hour a half and charging $600. Something doesnt add up

[@TruckMountForums]

Actually over time you develop a system and things go faster than you think.

[@erickmartinez5194]

Hey Rob, THANK you for the video. Im new on this . I have a portable (snipper) Every time i connected to a plug, the breaker goes off. Any recommendations for this ? Thank you in advance

[@methodcleaningsystems4784]

This vid deals with topic of avoiding popping breakers: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3m4p42leZKfpckfeature=shared

[@Hallahanify]

You think that machine is powerful enough to leave in the truck with a generator if you're using a vacuum booster?

[@TruckMountForums]

Possibly. Heck you could even run two boosters. One on the porch and one upstairs. Be beast!

[@KPCC]

How much is it for all and do you take payment plans cause some people don’t have it in full

[@TruckMountForums]

We have a finance company at checkout.

[@mariowajrak3868]

Do you need to vacuum the carpet first?

[@TruckMountForums]

It’s ideal esp with a portable. The less dirt or mud you have to remove with liquid is surely advantageous.

[@duckonquack_5095]

So will the duelly have the extreme heat and vac as well?

[@TruckMountForums]

Not extreme heat but good heat.
