truckmount or portable?

I can send you a pic but not the real thing, I don't play that much anymore but would never sell it, rather hang in on a wall and just look at it. I'll get a pic up on here soon.

HAVE NOTHING.  That's what you have, if you want to prove me and this forum wrong, post a pic of your fantasy truck with this months front page of a newspaper, and let's check on your credibility.                                                           Nightrider

Night Rider has a point in that marketing our business is probably more important than the machine or tools we use. So if you can make your portable system look good to possible clients, go for it. You will be in competition with a bunch of truckmounts and they will try to steal your future clients by showing off their equipment. Testimonials, industry knowledge, and  guarantees also play a huge roll in acquiring new clients its not just about the equipment.

I would tell people that it had 650 cfm, nearly 300 degrees of heat etc. and it went in one ear and out the other. We have only been using portables a few months and only one customer made a remark about it and even he changed his tune once he saw how well the carpet came out. I'm not using some 2 stage entry level Ninjas here.

I am selling the home I am in and had my company come and clean my carpets.

Seems like you do! it is very simple minded to make such an assumption just because I recently bought an M5 and booster. I even criticized both in some areas, although my overall impression of the machines is very good. I like John LaBarbera, all of him.!

unfortunately the everest cannot run itself because apparently you can't either as that machine should sell itself? Never send a boy to do a man's job?
