When it comes to deep carpet cleaning, few tools have stood the test of time like the RX20, which was a game changer when HydraMaster first developed it over 35 years ago.

HydraMaster’s RX20 NEXTGEN is the latest evolution of this legendary rotary jet extractor, and it’s redefining what professionals expect from high-performance carpet restoration. Let’s take a closer look at how our machine has evolved—and why it continues to dominate the industry.

Shawn Bisaillon, HydraMaster Product Application Expert and Director of Training, has seen firsthand how well received our clients are when they get a chance to try it out for themselves at our live demos:

“When I watch and coach a cleaner to run our rotary jet extraction machine, The RX20 NEXTGEN, a light turns on in their eyes as they are realizing how the machine will make them into super hero status with their customers. It’s like we have given them a gift of skill and a way to earn a living for life!”

The RX20 Legacy: A Brief History

HydraMaster’s original RX20 empowered technicians to clean carpets more thoroughly and efficiently than ever before with its innovative rotary jet extraction technology. By combining five spray jets and five vacuum slots on a rotating head, the RX20 delivered unmatched agitation and extraction power.

Over the past 3 decades, HydraMaster has refined the RX20’s design to meet the changing demands of the industry and leverage the latest technologies —culminating in the RX20 NEXTGEN.

What’s New in the NEXTGEN?

HydraMaster’s team listened to the input of professional cleaning and restoration contractors when developing our NEXTGEN, resulting in several enhancements including:

• Reduced fatigue and increased productivity:Easier to handle with a redesigned ergonomic, non-slip operator handle for enhanced comfort and maneuverability, reducing technicians’ fatigue during long jobs. It is also now operable with one hand thanks to a momentary switch for increased comfort and productivity

• Extends cleaning reach: The new On-board crevice tool with robust design and storage bracket increases your cleaning reach and allows for uninterrupted deep cleaning and vacuuming of edges and corners

• Easier training with user friendly layout and instructions: The redesigned and enhanced label artwork and color graphics provide detailed operation instructions right on the handle, simplifying training process so your technicians can get started sooner

• Streamlined manufacturing practices: 35 years of accumulated knowledge in manufacturing enabled HydraMaster to design and manufacture the RX20 NEXTGEN to last longer, clean deeper, and dry faster without compromising reliability.

Why Rotary Jet Extraction Still Reigns

Despite the rise of portable extractors and other cleaning methods, rotary jet extraction remains the gold standard for several reasons:

• Superior Agitation: The rotating head scrubs carpet fibers from multiple angles, lifting embedded soil that wands often miss at an impressive rate of 650 passes per minute
• Consistent Results: The RX20’s uniform spray and vacuum pattern ensures even cleaning across the entire surface.
• Time Efficiency: Technicians can clean large areas faster without sacrificing quality, boosting productivity and profitability.
• Versatility: From residential carpets to commercial spaces, the RX20 NEXTGEN adapts to a wide range of environments and soil conditions.

Many cleaning professionals report that the RX20 NEXTGEN has transformed their workflow. Whether tackling heavily soiled carpets or restoring high-traffic areas, the machine delivers results that impress clients and build repeat business.

HydraMaster’s RX20 NEXTGEN Rotary jet extraction works by combining and optimizing these elements:

• Mechanical Agitation: The rotating head agitates fibers to loosen dirt.
• Chemical Action: Pre-sprays and detergents are evenly distributed and activated.
• Heat: Truckmount systems deliver hot water to boost cleaning power.
• Vacuum: Powerful suction removes soil and moisture, speeding up dry times.
