Ok, I am in the same spot you are in. First, I was going to get a used Spitfire 4.0, for $4,500. I did some research they sold that same machine 4 times.
That means nobody is really happy with it. So, I checked into a panther 15, I was sold on it till, I got another sales manager at steambrite. To compare the Scout TM, to the panther 15. I have some interesting
e-mail's I could forward to you. I am buy-ing a Scout Brand New for $5,995. The panther 15 guy, gave up, after I forwarded him the problems with the panther 15. First thing it is false

creolecollins I have one of these sittting in a garage, good machine ,small and really easy to use and fix. A few drawbacks I found with mine. First the blower is a tad small and anything past 150' of hose the airflow drops fast. Second the system that is used to heat the water is not all that good and after 2 months I removed the heat box and used a propane heater to heat the water.
I would suggest you Look into the Prochem Blazer or the Hyrdamaster Spitfire they cost a little more than the Chem-tex but I think you would be happier in the long run.

With the esculating cost of fuel, have you ever considered an "Electric TM"?? One that can do double duty and can be utilized on high-rise; security jobs as well? You'd be surprised. (Pleasantly too)
Good Fortune to all; Ed Valentine |

Well am about to upgrade from a portable.But let me tell u don't spend tens of thousands of dollars on a machine.I think your customer would determine how much u wanna invest.Out of my research am not gonna spend more then 6 grand .U may get a nice used TM just to let your customers know you are moving forward they would be happy to hear the machine make noise outside then leter with increased bussiness you can sale or trade and by a new on. Just my thoughts.

I don't know if the Masterblend Eldiablo is fixable by a non mechanic but I do know it is very accessible. Check out the pics on Masterblend. It is all open and easy to get to.

Thanks, I'm checking them out. Does anybody know if there is a truckmount type that a mechanically-inclined owner could repair himself most of the time. I'm not very close to any dealership.
