Very nice IMO The Apex diesel is a BEAUTY,very impressed with it.
actually demoed a Legend XL and was pleasantly suprised with the performance as far as heat and suction go.
design and build on these machines are impressive IMHO,alot of people knock them but I can see why they are a little more $$$ than some,alot of thought goes into them,and the finishing is very impressive. the new Prochems seem pretty simple......especially the smaller units.
I like that the engines are not screaming at full throttle and do not seem to bog down under load,they seem to heat up quick for a HX machine,the waste tanks are a work of art.
can you tell I'm going with a Prochem??

20hp sutorbilt 4MVL Cat 3 pump
aboot 17k Canuck bucks installed I know they are all too much money and yes a Freedom45 is the same price with a larger liquid cooled engine
but I do have my reasons for preferring the Prochem units

The Freedom is $17,900 lol the Prochem will have higher resale value IMO seeing as how there is only 1 distributor in Canada for Powerclean
and I really do not want to knock the Powerclean but I find the craftsmanship a little better on the Prochem
and they're PURRRRTY
there are a couple of things I like better about the Freedom though ------------- A.K.A. Andy |

I've been using Pro Chem turckmounts since 1985. I have had 6 of them including the two 405's I have now. The amazing thing is the old 100 and 800 A are still working. But not for me. The two BruinIIs are doing a good job for the people who own them. I got good money when I sold them when I was ready to move up. ------------- Just My opinion |

Owner operator of the dist. I was dealing with had some seizures and they dicovered some brain tumors.........sad........I really like the guy
so things were delayed a while
I just started using my shiny new Legend XL yesterday so far I'm thrilled
suprised at the heat I'm getting.........did a 1bdrm apartment today and by the time I was done the heat guage was pegged to the max reading
cant believe I chose the Powermatic over a Prochem to begin with,so far I love it quiet,plenty of suction,suprising heat............pretty sure I'll be happy
how's that? ------------- A.K.A. Andy |

not sure which got hotter,I don't have a temp guage and the one on the PM didn't work
the Prochem is much nicer to work with
the more I use it the more I like it,but I don't want to cry wolf,I loved the PM at first
trying to figure out why more people don't rave about their Prochems?
I've always heard how complicated Prochems are but looking at my Legend I have to wonder if most CC's are just too simple ------------- A.K.A. Andy |
