Square Foot Cleaned by Max

We have had the Max out in the field for several months now and here is more of the feedback
we are getting:

"Square foot per hour depends on several things. #1 Are you pad cleaning or encap cleaning? #2 How dirty is the carpet? #3 How much stuff do you have to go around, i.e. an office with a lot of desks or a big open area?
If you have a large open area and are encap cleaning with the brush or with a synthetic pad that doesn't need changing much, and the carpet is moderately soiled you can easily get 3,000 to 4,000 square feet per hour, and 5,000 feet would not be that difficult. If the carpet is dirtier you will have to go a little slower, or go over areas a couple of times, then of course you will get a little less.
If you are charging 15 cents per square foot, and averaging 4,000 feet per hour cleaned, then you would average about $600 per hour. We did a movie theater a couple of weeks ago that was about 8,000 square feet. Using the Max we were done in less than 4 hours and averaged $375 per hour. the reason it took 4 hours was because of the stairs in each theater. If it wasn't for the stairs we would have been done in probably 2 to 2.5 hours. So I know we averaged almost 4,000 square feet per hour with the Max on that job. then we would have averaged between $600 and $750 per hour.
So I would say you certainly can average $600 per hour or more in an open area using the Max."
