rousec 14 Report post Posted July 11, 2006 I have a Landa Cyclone 20 inch surface cleaner that has turned out to be a POS. I have spoke with Russ Johnson @ South Side and he recommended a Whirl a Way 16 or 18 inch floater. I respect his opinion and would like to hear from those who have used the floater as opposed to a wheeled unit. I am running a hot water machine with 5 @ 3500 for power. By the way, I have spoke with Landa about the rotary union problem that I have been having and the only response was that they admit that it is a bad design. No offer to warranty or to upgrade to a different union. What a way to do business. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Kassander 26 Report post Posted July 11, 2006 Carey, I have had a 2 Steel Eagle's that I have used for the last 8-9 years at least 5-10 times a month and they have been pretty reliable. If you can keep from running them over or dropping them off the truck they also seem to require less maint.... I rebuilt mine once about 2 years ago, o rings and bearings, and it is still working great. My recommendation would be for the non adjustable arm height version. I had an adjustable one and it fell apart in about a month. I rebuilt it as a stationary mount arm swivel and have had no problems since. As far as wheeled or floater? I am a wheel guy, I like the stability of the wheels for all types of surfaces and not having to carry it around when not in use. I will say that I have never used a floater so I couldn't say which is better. I guess it is just personal preference. Sorry about your service issue, I always hate when that happens to me. If I can help you further or have any other questions please give me a call. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rousec 14 Report post Posted July 12, 2006 Thanks for the Input Paul. I believe that I am going to stay with the wheel version for the same reason that you state. Have a great day. Carey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
