I heard a horror story about cleancrafts eclipse portable firsthand from an owner. It dealt with customer service. you purchase the machine and then your on your own! Making me second guess the eclipse

Question is who makes the eclipse and what is their history, financial strength and product track record?  I gamble on the lottery but not my investments unless the rewards far exceed the potential risks.
Are you in a high paying business or are you just a self employed low paid grunt who thinks this business provides dignity?

Nice unit the Legend..Almost bought that unit 3yrs ago but wanted liquid cooled.. I'm running a Recoil-2HP with 3/3stage AmetekLamb vacs for anything that cant be rached past 250-300ft with the TM and highrise apt's AND a PowerClean Freedom-XT45..OH YEAH!  Party%20Banana

Now about the Eclipse being the best is up for grabs.. Ermm You have some competition like the CrossAmerican Recoil XPS the Timbuktoo Infinity and the Habitek Pelican.. All very powerful portables..
 
A friend of mine in Fond Du Lac WI has the Eclipse and does like it alot.. He also has the ProChem Cheyenne..Big%20smile

I run a pro chem legend and dream of the day when I can buy a dodge sprinter with a pro chem everest hP. Right now I'm looking into tapping the huge market of beach high rises around west palm beach with a portable. I don't want to waste my time and money isn't the issue, performance is. From the stats, it seems the cleancraft eclipse is the best. Any thoughts?

Have you checked out the Mytee or Timbucktoo line of portables. Spend the least on porty and save for the TM.

 
No offense man.. Just asking.. Your right I did mention buy a TM..

Whatever John L.

Did you offer any advice to help Maxima get started besides "Buy a TM?" I think not. I came to this site to get help from my peers on purchasing the best portable available. While here if I can offer others advice I will. Have you been to a Strategies For Success class? Probably not so whether I am payed by jon-don to sell their class or not its at least worth looking into for Maxima if starting a business in cleaning.  By the way, like I said I've been in this industry for 16 years and this past february I attended the tampa bay class and it changed the way I look at my business. I am forever grateful for the class and thats why I recommend it to anyone whether rookie or pro! P
 
P.S. I have nothing to gain by recommending the class. You can check out my attendance in the class this past february under Travis Popp
