I agree with you. It is good to hear both sides of every debate so that you can make up your own mind as to where the 3rd side lays. That would be the truth.

But can yours make a great cup of coffee or raise your IQ?
Are you in a high paying business or are you just a self employed low paid grunt who thinks this business provides dignity?

Hey Nathan112,

 I thought about the Ninja Warrior, great looking machine, heard some good things about it's cleaning abilities as well, but you cannot get Auto-Fill and you cannot get Auto-Dump Out, also, they will only put 2 vacuum motors max.

I need the extra vacuum power and the auto features because I do primarily commercial accounts.

Thank you for the suggestion though!

Make a TON OF MONEY!

Ken,

 I didn't realize that the TITAN came with the "heat" option....much less with that technology! 

Wouldn't the coils draw the heat/absorb the heat away from the vacuum motors?

Wow, the TITAN with close to, if not as much vacuum power as a TM and a built-in heater, with the heating boost system?
....I'm impressed even more now!

Let me make sure I have this right....

I can get the TITAN X5 extractor with the following standard features: ADJUSTABLE 500 PSI PUMP,  AUTO-FILL AND AUTO DUMP OUT CONNECTIONS WITH CONNECTIONS LOCATED RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER, 4-VAC SYSTEM THAT DELIVERS CLOSE TO; IF NOT AS MUCH SUCTION POWER AS A TM, AUTO FOAM DOWNER, CIRCUIT INDICATOR LIGHT, PNEUMATIC REAR WHEELS, 5-INCH LOCKING CASTERS ON THE FRONT, ALL SWITCHES ERGONOMICALLY LOCATED WAIST HIGH, MODERN, DURABLE AND LONG LASTING ROTO-MOLDED BODY W/10 YEAR WARRANTY, ALL OF THIS IN ONE UNIT "OUT OF THE BOX" FOR UNDER 3200? THAT'S AWESOME, LOOK FORWARD TO UP-DATING TO THE TITAN....very appropriate name!

OPTIONAL FEATURES/ACCESSORIES...I'M ASKING?

HEAT W/HEAT BOOSTER SYSTEM?
50' AUTO-FILL HOSE?
50'DUMP OUT HOSE?
25' VACUUM HOSE?
25' SOLUTION LINE?

ANYTHING I LEFT OUT?

Thanks Ken,

ac.

PS- You get more heat boost using the 4 vac system than they get drawing heat off only 2 motors.

Logically....of course you will.

 I have used a Black-Max with the "perfect heat" system....worked very well! I would add a fresh bucket of room temperature water and in less than 5 minutes; a steady supply of very hot water!

John,
 
In regards to my own opinion, I must pass on this one. Why? because I do not believe that it is the best interests whenever another manufacturer such as myself, makes (possible) negative comments on another product. My view has always been that as in any Industry, there are OK products; GOOD products. And then there are GREAT products too.
 
Therefore, I will not make my answers to your questions on a public forum. Just not honorable or respectful IMHO.
 
very best;

Ed or Ken, Whats your opinion on the Powr-flite BlackMax? A CCer on TMF bought
one and posted about it. It seems no other porty has that inline heat system.
Those coils heat up the water before going into the HE's but will they premature
the life of the vac motors from the coil heat? You both sell Portys so try to keep
it real. LOL! Stern Smile

Just remember the old adage Ed; "What does not kill me only makes me stronger!"
 
I know that I am a stronger person today than I was 10 years ago when 1 first started posting on the boards, as I am sure you are too. In a sense our critics are doing us manufacturers a big favor. By pointing out the deficiencies of our products, they give us the oportunity to improve them.  Once we do that the sales and value of our products improve and gain additional sales.
 
Although the slings and arrows directed at us are not always given in that constructive fashion, the end result of our improvements often is. It is the reason I continue to look for that silver lining in every cloud that comes my way. I know that it is there. It is up to me to make lemomade from the lemons that come my way.

Alex + Absolute = "Board Terrorist".
 
You two guys (or is it; "goffers"?) always do a wonderful job of ruining great Boards like this one. Hope that of great friends who run it will help identify your adjendas.
 
And, oh, btw, thanks for the compliments too!
 
very best;

LMAO!! I heard about some of Ed's shenanigans on this forum and had to see it for myself. He is threatening people again? Why did the Recoiler post up the private message anyway? It only hurts CA if people read more criticism toward it.

From what I heard, Absolute's criticisms are correct; the body panels disintegrate in time but I have not experienced this myself so I cannot confirm that it is true. The fact that Ed is flinging threats again is hilarious. Poor sob can't even help himself! LMAO! You go crazy Ed!
