I use the Domel too. I change the brushes every two years and the motors never go out.

VAC MOTOR LEADED 120V

Is that the only Domel everyone uses, or is there another? They're kinda pricey. Do they have better suction?

Not combo, jist regular vacs. Wpuld like 3 motor, or w/ Turbo feature.
Anyone got good advice on great working, solid & easy to work on, new vacuums?
Kleen-Rite site is so confusing on regular vacs. But my sons live right by it, so i can h3et free shipping.

I have 3 and 2 motor vacs in different locations and I do not really see much difference in the 2 but if you can up charge for three, Then Why NotI I suspect that most places only have a 2-3 of vacuums that do the heavy lifting and the other ones Handel the overflow. if you keep them clean they should work pretty much identical. I think the only difference is when they start getting really dirty. I’m lookin at upgrading to a combo unit but I do not see one that has a robotic Detailer that pops out At $5 a min! But I’m guessing it just a matter of time before the do. Haha , But all kidding aside would like A combo unit with vacuum, blow dry and carpet shampoo & fragrancewith bill exceptor, coin acceptor, pre drilled credit card acceptor spot and hold at least $200 in quarters. J.e. Addams does not have one like that. I’m thinking of getting the j.e. Wit the 3 options and a blower on the side at my busiest vacuum to test my customers reaction and see what is really worth buying and what is not. anyone out there with a combo vac? I would love to see the percentage of revenue related to each product. I would think vac is 80-85% and all the rest is 20-15% But I do not have any experience with combo vacs to back that theory up. I do like the simple vacs and A Bunch and of Cash paying customers definitely enjoy the simple pay and vac aspect of it. I have blow dry in the bays and I have spray fragrances in the vending machine but I don’t have any carpet cleaners on site. I was always told The revenue is not worth it considering the extra problems.

If you are shifting to 3 motors , Easiest way is to use 240 volt That way your existing wiring can handle. I have done that at 2 locations , with new vacs .

Great idea. Cost less to operate as well?

Perhaps the higher voltage will help on the demand load, otherwise reduced electric cost is unlikely. Where it saves money is in not having to pull out the old wire. Usually, the vacuum wire runs are the longest ones at the carwash
