You'd figure they all do the same job....they are all using the same parts...
For residential all you need is a TM ...a vortex is overkill....if you buying a truckmount for commercial..encap is going to blow you out of the water...
Well at least in the Greater Toronto Area a vortex isn't needed...the wizard doesn't get anymore jobs out here because he has a vortex...
he has a nice wrap on his rig ..I will say thAT

Premier I think if you research prices the Ace Diesel will be less expensive than the Blueline. But you need to research the service delivery of both companies.
Butler PTOs are about as mainstream a PTO system as you can buy and have a very good reputation for quality and reliablility of the unit and their service. |

Steamer, no disgreeing with what your saying about the customer end. But I want to research to see if it will be significantly different than what I have now - The Aquatech with a 47 blower.

Personally I think that the machine alone doesn't make the job...it's all the variables.....detergent, dewell time, heat...
a customer's carpet can only come as clean as it can get no matter what machine you have it depends your experience.
For the show...it's nice...I'm sure it might get you more money...but your expenses will be high so you deserve more.
a shiney wand..
clean lead hose...
clean uniform.... and a white smile
is what the customer see's......most times the truck is parked out front out of sight.
The only way I would buy one...if it could do the impossible......and we all know every machine has limits...even more limits if you don't know what your doing Edited by MR. STEAMER - 25/February/2007 at 11:09pm |

Wondered when you would speak up on this. Let me ask you. If someone proved to you on your own terms of what you call proof and you found it worked way better would you buy one?

All I am trying to say is it would be very difficult to make those payments on say cleaning 3 or 4 300 sq ft' jobs a day? You would need a min of 6 to 8 hundred bucks a day with that unit to make it worth while 5 days a week every week. maybe you already do those nu,bers I don't know. Just don't sink yourself I know it is an easy thing to do when you get all tied up in conversations with all the big dogs?? Each area is different and I wish you well abd hope your area can support this unit?

Looking at the pictures above this is what I would do.
The side door would be a foot shorter. The tank would be against the cab wall of the box and the plant would be where the reel is or even a bit farther back. This is for the weight. They show a portable in there but just imagine that room being used for something else anyway. |
