inShoutout to the roofer in Phoenix who told me to drop my worst paying client
Man, I feel this so hard. My sister runs a cleaning business and had this one lady who paid the least but called her like five times a week about every little thing, then wanted a discount on top of it. She finally let her go and yeah, the next month was a little slow, but she picked up two normal clients who didn't stress her out at all. I get why people hang onto the steady cash, but there's a real cost to dealing with the cheap loud ones, like your time and your sanity. Dave's 80/20 thing sounds spot on to me.

inThat $200 rotary brush I bought lasted 4 jobs before the motor died
You ever try just replacing the motor on those cheap units, or were you set on getting it fixed under warranty? I had a similar thing happen and found the gear box was the weak spot, not the motor itself. If you're handy at all, you can get a replacement motor off Amazon for like 30 bucks and it's a 20 minute swap. But honestly, for the price of these things, you're probably better off buying two cheaper ones and keeping one as backup. The stiff brush method is a pain, but it never quits on you. I'd stick with manual for now and only go back to rotary if you find a deal on a used commercial grade one.
