X2 EncapMachine.

Rick, on your web site, for your x2EncapMachine, you say "12 point solution feed for even flow" Do you mean the machine have 12 plain solution holes, or 12 jets? Just look at Larry's and I can see two jets on the front of the machine.

Larry's machine sprays the detergent out in front of the machine using spray-jets.

The X2 has a header along the front brush roller with 12 removable tubes extending toward the brush. This allows for very even shower-feeding of the detergent. In our experience (and in the experience of many others too), encapsulation works better with shower-feeding than it does when the product is sprayed down. That's why we worked closely with the manufacturer to develop the proprietary feed system for the X2. It lays the solution down fast and smooth.

Is that the main difference between your machine and Cobb's?

How much coverage per gallon of ready to use solution with your machine?

Don,

The core of the machines are similar. However there are a few differences between the two machines... Our handle locks in the running position to stabilize the weight of the handle. Our machine has the red 4 gallon tank rather than a 3 gallon tank. The tank has a nice stainless steel filter that is inset into the mouth of the tank to keep debris out of the tank. Our vac slot design is different. Our machine also employs a really slick shower-feed design as opposed to a spray-jet system. And I think the X2 looks sharper too (but that's just my opinion). But either machine would be a good choice, it just depends on which version fits your cleaning needs.

Thanks Rick, sounds to me like you experience in the field has been tranformed into this machine. Look forward to seeing it in action.
