Andy I read your post about your new M5.. You'll see 125ft isnt a sweet spot..  Not with 2-3stage.. You'll run into some carpets and it will leave it soak and wet at 125 even after a few dry passes.. Sure, depending on psi.. Do 400-500psi..  Im talking wet man.. You'll see.. Its just a portable.. Nothing special like you all make it sound.. Just coming from 20yrs of portable use.. Big%20smile

by sweet spot I mean the furthest I'd go
 
9 times outta 10 I run 50' of 2" hose,,,,,,,,,I'm not going to pretend it's a TM
 
I DO realize it has wheels for a  reason
 
I also think it IS special in comparison to most porties

I run 25-50' most of the time when using mine which isnt very often.. Thats the sweet spot and faster drys for portys.. From the pics it does look like a nice little machine.. How much did it cost? I'm asking you here Andy because i dont post on Mikeys forum..

Your right 2" internally would make a diff ..
I run a 2" connect from the waste tank but not inside plum but i added a 3-stage for 3-3 stage.. Maybe I'll gut it out this winter and run 2" plum internally.. Don't use it that often..
