I just bought a HydroMaster Boxxer XL with a Hydro Cradle with live feed. You have to have a TMU to compete. It might not get you business but if you don't have one you can't compete in carpet cleaning in Daphne AL.

Forgot to say Wecome here. Got at least a first name? If not your probably here for the short haul. Anyways, when someone with a Stealth profile comes on here posting testimonials for one of the worst pieces of crap in the industry, I'm going to challenge it. Now at least Amtex won't be getting any beneficial effect from this stunt. This poster has nothing in his profile or posts that confirms he is a real buyer of Amtex. Dont take it personal i copied it off Mikeysboard. lol LOL

I use truck mounts for AMTEX Equipment in Houston.  Excellent quality and a lot less expensive than anything in their class.  The owner, Ben Saney, actually answers the phone and is awesome with any help or service that you need.  It's the only truck mount we will use.  The best.

If they say pass then say no probs I can ring you up (record skype) and ask you a few feedback questions or would you prefer to fill out a feedback form? Again written consent important.

Customise the questions for your marketing efforts.

I say (which is true) I'm doing a 'video diary today, would it be ok to film?'

This was tested and found to be my best chance of a yes.

Hope this helps


 
Yea, Thanks man that helps.

Hi

Yes I phoned her first and when I gave her the invoice I got her to sign a clearance form.

I also having a video of me washing it, immersion style.

I used a Kodak Zi6 a bit like a flip. I wouldn't do it like that again but they were such good comments I've kept it. I didn't have Vegas then either so there's no edits.

It all gone tits up today. Been moving hosting to UK and it's not transferred all my stuff!Unhappy

Even a Blazer will seem like a quantum change in performance. I went from speester to blazer and I'm well chuffed.

Obviously bigger is better, er well hang on... in some ways.

A Blazer is simple. There's the key components and some bits that make it work and they are all straightforward. For a newbie you have lots of performance and less to go wrong.

If you are still in business 2 years down the line get a big complicated one with all the bells and whistles.

No arguement they are both great machines. I had the choice of buying the Prochem for $38k as opposed to the Powerclean for $36k and the main reason for me getting the Legend GT was the fact that the service agents are 25 minutes from where I live compared to 2 hours for the Liberty. The performance difference between these two machines really isn't that great in any case. 1200 psi will comfortably clean the grout without an increased risk of blowing out the grout lines with too much pressure ( 2000 plus psi ). The heat is more than enough, as is the vacuum. I dont do hard surface cleaning and never do large commercial jobs, so I dont need a machine capable of running 600 foot of hose or more than 230 degrees of heat. For my business ( mainly wdr and high end residential ) it's been ideal and a big step up after running a portable for so long.
Dont treat people like customers. Treat them like friends.

Freedom XT not so much.
Not to beat up on Powerclean
but Prochem is more reliable
and customer service is top notch.
Just my opinion. Whatever you do buy
local.
 
OK They are both great TM builders and great TMs...Big smile
so lets compare. My opinion will of course differ from others.
 
Legend GT has 23 hp air cooled (air cooled--great for motorcylces).. FreedomXT 26hp liquid cooled.
 
1200psi Shocked vs 2000 psi Approve on the Freedom with 2 HX, blower preheater and exhaust preheater.
This baby gets lava hot. The Legend cant touch it on heat or vac or psi. Unhappy
 
Redesigned and simple. Thats a good thing but not so simple to turn a wrench if you have to.. Its tight..
 
Freedom XT not so much. Actually more area room to turn a wrench.Approve
 
but Prochem is more reliable.. Says who? A Prochem dealer.. Confused
 
and customer service is top notch. Same with PowerClean were i bought mine.Big smile
 
60 gal wastetank -- 75gal on the Freedom..
2950rpms -- 3300rpm on the Freedom..
 
Just my opinion. Whatever you do buy local. I agree..Big smile
 
 
AND ONE VERY IMPORTANT FACTOR PRICE! Evil Grin
 
LEGEND GT = $16,272.00 Happy Shakeway overpriced for what you get.
POWERCLEAN FREEDOM-XT45 = $11,775.00 Wink You get more for less money.
and dont tell me it cost more because its better.. Its not..
SAVE $4,497 and get more hp, more psi, more heat, more vac.. Its your money.. Pimpin
