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?

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

Mytee M-5 made for Greenglides with a Mytee hotbox for heat
 
only had it for a few months but it's really quite impressive for a porty
 
100 ft. is not an exageration
 
and I ran TM's for almost 10 years........................................I'm getting the same dry times

"I'm getting the same dry times".. Sure you are..? But not at the production time or hose lengths.. Have to put these things in perspective.. You've been around the Mikey Taliban too long.. LOL Confused

I'm managing an apartment building so i have a GOOD idea on the dry times
 
I DO make two drying passes just cuz I know I don't have the same lift as a TM
 
but as far as wanding,,,,,I really haven't had to change technique
