  What is a good portable machine to start a business with? I need something  that's not  over 100 pounds. Do the ninja's work well?

                   Thank You!!!!

Ninja is still the world's best selling portable for good reason. Dollar for dollar, you get more for your money with a ninja machine.Get the one with the 2 3 stage vacuum motors and 500 psi pump for best performance. If you need to spend a little less than that one, get the 2 3 stage model with the 200 psi pump instead.

The most power is Recoil 3hp -- 2-3stage, 1-2stage. Mine has 3-3stage.

                                                OR

The Pelican --  4-2stage.

These 2 portys will blow away the ninja any time any distance.

Ninja is very easy to carry, better than Mytee.
 
but with 500psi and 2x3 vac you might start popping breakers...careful if you're going  into a lot of old homes/buildings.

Anyone running high powered portys should have onboard generator. Why run all them cords and pop breakers. Might never get them back popping breakers. Custy's are funny that way. Live and learn..Smokey

well for me the mytee works good im in vacant apartments so if i blow a
breaker its ok but i think its only happend 1 time.
i would never do a home with a porty. tm only.
only time i use porty is if tm wont reach.
if you are worried about breakers with the mytee just run only first half of
heater or no heat at all.

BLOWING BREAKERS is unexceptable, period. A great system should not be an inconvient one.

 

Just my opion.

 

Good Fortune to all;
