Just got our Cimex recently (Thanks, Rick!) so we have not had a chance to use it much.

I'm curious about how long drying times are for you guys. 1 hour? 2? 3? 4? Etc?

What do you tell customers?

You folks in dry, hot climates may not answer; I know everything in your areas can dry very fast!!

I'm in muggy, coastal Boston with relative humidity so high in the summer that fish can breathe the air with no problem!

I'm in Florida on the Gulfcoast, we have the Gulf of Mexico on one side and Tampa Bay on the other side. Our daily relative humidity is often 98%, I think I'm starting to grow gills. We generally get dry times inside of two hours here. Of course there are some variables, such as air conditioning, density of the fiber, etc. But two hours seems to be a pretty good rule of thumb here in our sub-tropical climate.

I have had the cimex for about 5 weeks now. And I have been finding that with no air movers it drys in under two hrs, with air movers 1 hr. I did a church that was not very dirty and it was dry in about 45 min(no air movers).

What is so owesome is I always used a RX20 with the Butler and last week I did my eye doc office. And they said last time it made the windows wet (and I do dry vac with the RX20)well they said it looked great with the cimex, and the carpet was very bad too.

In rainy Portland OR, the drying times average about 1 to 2 hours.

I have had 2 residential customers that needed really speedy drying, so with fans, I had it down to 30 minutes- and both cases were olefin Berber. I have not timed it on a plush residential carpet for speed, but commercial nylons without fans has been 1 to 2 hours.
