Premier, one of the best people to talk to who has owned both is Dave Rampage of Executive Carpet and Rug Cleaning in Crestwood. He owned a Vortex which he subsequently sold to Wizard in Oakville Ontario. Dave then went through the process of evaluating both Aero Tech and Vortex and he decided on an Aero Tech.
I believe that the more powerful unit is the Vortex but it is more expensive than the top of the line Aero Tech. There is a shared heritage in both companies and Aero Tech used to make Vortex. There was a legal battle over patents and when it was all sorted out they both ended up making similar units. On very recent development is that Aero Tech has prototyped two Mitsubishi Fuso trucks and both manufacturers currently run Nissan UD 1400. The advantage of the Mitsubishi is that it has a wider frame and an extra gear in the automatic. The Nissan tops out at 70MPH and the Mitsubishi with the extra gear is higher speed. Aero Tech will now supply the Mitsubishi Fuso on request and at the same price as what they were supplying Nissans. Both units are very versatile units that many people will tell you are overkill. That’s like someone telling you that a Chevy Colorado is OK and a Silverado is overkill. There are many emotionally driven remarks about the financial viability of these units for single truck owners. The reality is most all of them are owned by single truck operators. I know of one person who had one and then got rid of it and went back to a standard truckmount and then regretted it and bought another "big truck" When I got past the biases that many people have against these trucks I started to believe that they were a good investment and worth the extra money. MikeFest will have both the new top of the line from both Aero Tech and Vortex in attendance. www.vortexinfo.com http://www.aerotechmfg.com/ |

I've read here an there over the years about the vortex being the top Dog, But what are the compelling reasons that it is rated so highly?
Not a slam at all. just an honest request for someone to enlighten my ignorance. |
