Any information on the Eclipse Portable Extractor?

Hi guys I am just starting out carpet cleaning, and can't afford a truck mount so have to go with a portable for now until I build my business. I have looked at many portables, but this one seems good to go. I am most interested in all the normal things like VAC, Lift (CFM), heat, but I do want a until that does autofill, and autodump. Both features make it more usable, approaching at least the efficiency of a truck mount as far as filling and dumping goes. Minimizing time. Time = money. What are you thoughts on the Eclipse High Powered Portable Extractor. It can be found below.

Any help you knowledgable folks can provide would be great. Please dont recommend I use a truckmount because I can't afford it. Thanks though. I will using the portable with a Rotovac 360, or RX-20 to clean carpets. Thanks for all your help.

That's what I've been hearing as well Griff.  Sounds like the solutions , and preparation are everything.  The machine just makes the job that much easier. 

I spoke to a gentleman today about portable, and he was not to happy with them, however he did use them for 7 years before he actually went to a truck mount.

I like the option in Eclipse to turn off one heater, and still keep the other one going so as to not use another 15-20amp circuit.  I also think about possibly using a generator to make the power instead of the customers power.  This may make the whole truck mount portable thing a non-issue. 

Have you lost any job due to having a portable instead of a truckmount?   If so how many would you say you lose in a given year, month, or week?  The guy I was speaking to may have only remember the bad times, when customer pushed him out due to a portable, but I'm going to be using the Rotovac as a marketing tool. 

I hope to extole the vitues of the Rotovac Powerwand as a superior cleaning tool negating the need for large, air-polluting, unsecure truck mount system.  Hopefully I will be able to mitigate at least some of the negative feelings of using a portable.

I have looked at the Recoil 3hp, and I can get one for $2150 from a guy, but I like the Eclipse for the money. Anyway.  Talk to you soon.

I use my Recoil as a portable and as far as I know I have never lost a job because of my equipment. But who knows. You can't worry about every job lost because you are going to lose some regardless of what you use. A truckmount will probably make life easier on a carpet job but most people I clean for could care less about what equipment I clean with as long as it cleans. Also by using electricity, I haven't raised my prices due to fuel cost. I live in a fairly small town and most jobs are within 2 - 10 miles. By the time you buy a portable, rotovac, and generator, I'm pretty sure you could buy a truckmount, especially if you look at some used ones.
