What Our Customers Say about our Sidewinder System |

"
Zach,
I would like to take this time to thank everyone at Aztec for introducing me to the Aztec Floor Stripping Equipment. The combination of the Sidewinder, Liquidator, Guzzler and Automatic scrubber has cut my stripping crew from 4 employees to 3 on each of our jobs! We stripped a 46,000 square foot Hobby Lobby in just 2 nights. In the past, it took us 4 nights! We have 8 large supermarkets that have to be stripped every spring after the winter. And this system has almost paid for itself in the first season. My only regret is that I did not buy this system years ago! You can lay as much stripper in 2 minutes as you can lay in 10-15 minutes using the old bucket and mop method. Unbelievable! The Guzzler picks up solution so fast and efficient that I could not believe it! But the Sidewinder is the best!!! This machine, with the planetary action, gets everything up on the first strip! It strips low spots on floors like no other. It puts my old propane stripper to shame! My old machine had the same size engine, but just one scrubbing head that you had to use all your strength to keep it straight. After a night of running my old equipment, I was exhausted! BUT!!!! My wife who is 5’1” and 125 pounds, ran the 450 pound Sidewinder while helping me strip a small store of 6,000 square ft. She handled it with ease! Stripping used to be hard work......but not anymore since we purchased the Aztec stripping equipment. Thank you to everyone at Aztec!"

"We purchased a reconditioned Sidewinder from Aztec for a 115,000 square foot concrete project that we need to remove two coats of Cure N Seal from, so this is not your typical strip and wax. We started the project using swing machines and getting between 4,000 and 5,000 square feet done in a 12 hour shift. After receiving the 30" Sidewinder, we over doubled our daily production with our maximum so far being 14,000 square feet in one day. We are very happy with our purchase of the Sidewinder and can't wait to get it on a real strip and wax to see what kind of production we can really get out of it. "

"We’ve been using the Aztec total package for over a year. Let me tell you something, it is the best in the business. It has saved us money in manpower, materials and time. When we had to use 4 guys to do a strip job, now I can use 2 or 3. When it comes to putting down stripper [solution], the Liquidator can’t be beat; it makes it easier and faster than guys throwing with mops by far none, and there is no wasting of stripper. Picking up the stripper has become easier also with the Guzzler. Both are great because they have no motors to worry about; it’s all just push and go parts. Putting down the wax has become a breeze with the Grand Finale. I use one man to do whole entire stores. Plus by using the settings you can control the wax usage and save on wax. So if you’re looking to save on cost, labor and time, this is the system for you."

"Hello, my name is Adam Sparks and I own Sparkles Cleaning Service out of Columbus, Georgia. About three years ago I purchased a 24 inch Aztec Sidewinder propane powered stripper. Since the moment I received the machine my business has never been the same. The machine slices through multiple coats of finish like butter, you will never have to pass over the same spot twice; it is a super fast and reliable machine. It cuts my time on the job by over 60%, and it saves major time and money. I have done jobs for other contractors where the finish was too thick with no problem. The machine is everything Aztec says it is and more; if your company doesn't have one you are no competition to your competitor. This machine is hands down the best thing to come on the market for floor care I highly recommend purchasing one."

"Our 24 inch sidewinder machine has allowed us to expand our floor operations. It increases our efficiency by 30%. We are able to go into a retail store that closes at 9 p.m. and have time to put 4 coats of wax down and let it dry with time to spare before it opens the next morning. We love the fact that we do not have to stop to change out black pads anymore and that we can strip the floor with 1 pass. We've increased our efficiency by 30% by going with the sidewinder instead of swing machines."

"I started my business in 1990 and have been running Aztec Sidewinders since 1999. I have found nothing comparable to the sidewinder when tackling 40 to 60,000 square feet. I currently run 5 Sidewinders and have had only minimal repairs and the technical support has been excellent. I recommend Aztec products to anyone that wants the job done right the first time."

"Just how great is the Aztec [WorkSmart] system. I recently purchased a complete system. I live in Newfoundland where labour is being paid in excess of 20.00 per hour, thanks to the oil boom. My hope was to reduce the number of people that I needed to do large areas of flooring. Well, I am 68 years old, have had five bypasses and am a diabetic. I contracted this one job for 17,000 square feet [but] could find no labour so I started this job on my own. You will not believe this but thirteen hours later I had completed this job. Every piece of equipment was amazing to me. The Grand Finale saved me twelve hours in labour, each coat took me 1.5 hours, plus saving me 30% in wax. If you are a serious flooring contractor and want to improve your bottom line, phone Aztec Products or one of the dealers and ask for a demo today. You will not be sorry. Great company, great service, great gear."

"At this time I would like to let Aztec's Inc. know how their equipment has changed my business. By using their products my company has grown. I am going be honest, I have used Eagle Trackers, strip Machines, and Super Strippers along with a variety of Strip Machines over the Past 26 Years of my Business. However, when I started using the Sidewinder I noticed how DEEP it gets in to the tile and makes it cleaner than any other machine I have ever used.
The Aztec Sidewinder does a much better job than other machines with its 3 rotating brushes creating a stronger and faster way to remove dirt from tiles saving a considerable amount of time in floor stripping. Also, the edger winder is great for getting under shelves. I have to say the Sidewinder has saved my company time and money, made my jobs much easier and has done a much better job leaving the floors looking remarkable.
I would highly recommend the Sidewinder to anyone in floor care to do the best job imaginable.
Your Aztec Machines help build my reputation in giving great floor care.
Thanks Aztec for your great machines."

"My name is Kevin Gilliam, I have owned ShurShine Janitorial in Farmington, MO for 18 years. I have tried many floor cleaning machines over the years. The Aztec Sidewinder and the Aztec Edgewinder are the best machines I have used. Honestly, I would rate them a ten out of ten! I never go to a job without these machines. They have saved me a so much time and labor. They will pay for themselves in the amount of labor costs you will save. My customers are extremely happy with the results as well. Also Aztec's customer service is excellent."

"I’ve been in the cleaning and maintenance business for 26 years now and have used many different floor-scrubbing machines and none compares to the 30” Sidewinder. We use the Sidewinder for concrete cleaning, as our industrial floor care work has expanded over the last five years.
We just completed a concrete job that was 160,000 sq. ft. and we used three Sidewinders working all together. It was really a sight to see. Along with finishing the job on time we stayed on target for profit."

"I must say that the
Sidewinder System has cut my labor in half, at worst, and
by seventy-five percent at best. The thing that surprised
me most about the Sidewinder was it’s cleaning power.
The path of the machine is 30 inches and between inch one
and inch thirty, there isn’t a spot the brushes don’t
aggressively attack. I guess my only regret is that
I waited eight years too long to buy the System."

"The labor savings that I have experienced using your Sidewinder has been fantastic for my company. We re-finish an average of 3-4 million square feet of tile annually and having your Sidewinder is like having another employee that never misses work."

"A few months ago I purchased a Sidewinder, Liquidator, and Guzzler. I have used the equipment several times and am very impressed. The Sidewinder System has saved me a lot of time, which in turn has cut my labor costs, increasing my profits. With the three- piece System I am able to do in one night what used to take me two nights"
– Best Commercial Cleaning, Bryan Banks, Owner

"
We purchased the complete Sidewinder System and it has made a tremendous difference in our business. The System has saved us manpower, time and money. Not only has it been a savings, it has also given us the confidence to bid jobs that previously we could not handle in the time frame necessary. I did not know up front that we would also save in chemical cost. The Liquidator has made a big difference in the amount of stripper required to do a job."

"
The Sidewinder is truly a versatile piece of equipment. We recently used it on an industrial concrete floor to scrub fork-truck tire rubber off the concrete. We have also been very pleased with results from the Edgewinder as well. It makes cleaning under gondolas much easier."

"
We purchased the Sidewinder Stripping System, which consisted of the 30” Sidewinder, the Guzzler and the Liquidator from your company to use in our school system. I had heard how productive the system was. There was a lot of doubt by the custodians that this system was capable of stripping 30,000 sq. ft./hr. as advertised by Aztec. Of course our custodians were used to the other method using a 20” 375 RPM corded stripping machine and spreading the stripper by mop and bucket, not to mention fighting electrical cords on the stripping machine as well as the wet vacuum.
Well the first school the Sidewinder System was to tackle was a 120,000 sq. ft. facility consisting of around 65,000 sq. ft. of VCT. Keep in mind that this was the first time our crew had used this type of equipment. All of the tile in this facility was stripped and ready to wax in eight hours, and this includes moving lots of furniture as they went through this facility. I was amazed myself at the quality and speed of the System."

"
I have seen your equipment at trade shows over the years, which included the Sidewinder, Liquidator, ProScrub, Guzzler, and Ultra-Trak. I was very impressed with the Sidewinder propane machine. The EM2 emissions monitor and warning device was very impressive due to the fact that many propane machines give off high emissions. The monitor works well with this machine to the point that you couldn’t tell that you were using a propane machine indoors. Plus, the machine did an excellent job on the floors. Your System is well thought out for a fast and economical way to strip and scrub floors. It is clear that the Aztec Sidewinder System is going to save us a lot of time and money, because we can get more work done with fewer people and our floors have never looked better."

"Thank you for encouraging me to purchase my 24” Sidewinder. I had owned another brand of propane stripping machine when I purchased an Edgewinder from you about a year and a half ago. I found after using the Edgewinder that I was having to make as many as four passes over the center of the aisle with my other propane machine just to get “close” to how clean the Edgewinder was getting my edges.
So I purchased the Sidewinder. My employees love it because it is easy to use. I love it because it puts money in my pocket. I use less men on any given jobsite, and my results are, in my opinion, perfect.
I have one employee, an older gentleman who is semi-retired, and works with us on strip jobs almost exclusively. His response to the Sidewinder, and Edgewinder, and Liquidator, is that in the thirty years that he has been doing floors, he has never seen a better System.
I wanted to let you know that in addition to making large square footage jobs easier and more profitable, we have found that this System is highly effective for small square footage as well; even convenience stores, hair salons, and the like. This System give you an incredible advantage in both speed and quality."

"
Just a note to let you know how satisfied we are with our 24” Aztec Sidewinder. It does a great job and has cut our strip time as well as our costs down considerably since we purchased it seven years ago. It is easy to operate and we find that new crewmembers learn to use it quickly. This machine works a good today as it did when we purchased it and it has never once let us down."

"I have earned thousands of dollars stripping floors with my Sidewinder. This machine is a must for Janitorial Contractors. Every contractor in the floor care business should have one. Your cost will be reduced as much as 60% compared to conventional floor scrubbers. The Sidewinder is affordable, it’s a time saver, and repair costs are very low."
– J.J. Janitorial Service, Jerome Johnston

"Since we started using your machine, we have cut our scrubbing time in half. The concrete garage floor has never looked better. The Sidewinder scrubs so efficiently and the pad pressure is so good, that we also cut our cleaning chemical consumption by over 20%."

"
In April of 1984 I had the pleasure of stripping a KMART with one of the first three Sidewinders ever produced. Before my first lease payment was due I had already stripped over $4,000. worth of floors. My automatic scrubber and swing buffers went into early retirement. In late 1986 we replaced ICM Services “in house” strip crew, stripping up to 150 stores a year. Everyone who saw our Sidewinders wanted one. I also purchased Sidewinder #4. It has had the brush drive rebuilt once and the motor replaced once. It still digs harder and runs smooth as a new Sidewinder."
– Pro-Jan Services, Willie Najar, Owner

"
We at A.S.A.P. Cleaning would like to thank Aztec for the products provided. I have purchased several buffers, Sidewinders, and Guzzlers. Two of my personal favorites are the Sidewinder, which is extremely excellent for stripping floors, and the Edgewinder, which is great for cleaning underneath low shelves. I have found these machines greatly cut labor costs and save time and money. The customer service at Aztec is just as good as the products."
– A.S.A.P. Cleaning Service, Mike Jones

"
From the Sidewinder to the Guzzler to the Liquidator, Aztec’s products have proven to be reliable, well engineered performance machines. The equipment has given us everything we expected and more. Very rarely do products or service promises live up to their hype or promotion, but in the case of Aztec’s products and service you have not only lived up to our expectations, you have exceeded them."
– Turner Professional, K.J. Turner, President.

"
I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding service that we have received from your associates. They have been diligent, dependable and straight forward. Promises made have been promises kept.
I was frankly more than a little suspect when I heard what sounded like wild claims of labor reduction with your stripping system. But we ordered our first Sidewinder in 1999 and have made several more purchases of your equipment and plan to continue to do so."
– Bergensons Property Services, Mark B. Minasian, Chief Operating Officer
|
"
When I was first contacted by your company regarding your stripping system, which included the Sidewinder, Liquidator and Guzzler, I thought to myself that this was just another glorified scrubbing machine, which we presently own quite a few. After much thought I decided to purchase one of your systems and try it out for ourselves. I basically could not believe the way this system worked for us. We saved a tremendous amount of money by using this system."
– Eastco Building Services, Inc., Heyward Brown

"
The Sidewinder is the best machine that you can use for stripping old floor finish. I saved over 36 hours labor in doing four 12,000 sq.ft. grocery stores. Instead of going home at 5:00 AM my three man crew was able to go home at 2:00 AM. We were able to strip the floor & put down 3 coats of floor finish completing the entire job in 6 hours."
– Delta Janitorial Cleaning Service, Eddie Smith, Owner

| "
Since I purchased the Sidewinder System I have taken on jobs that I would not have even considered doing without the Aztec system. It has made it possible for me to take on larger jobs with less help and still finish twice as fast as with my old equipment. This is good because my company now has less labor expense and more profit.
Not only is the Sidewinder, Liquidator
and Guzzler excellent for stripping, but I have never used
any kind of edging machine as aggressive as the Edgewinder.
And the Ultra Trak makes putting down finish on large jobs
a breeze."
