£6898.85 for a Carpet cleaning machine, you need your heads testing! Work harder with what you've got.

You could set up a viable little business with that sort of money, not p*** it up the wall on a declining market.

Matt

Getting a prowler makes this business more than viable with it being a cheap investment for return
Mind you if you got a prowler you would have time on your hands to research a new "viable" business as you wouldnt be so knackered and you would get your work done quicker


Why pay 4 grand more when this does an excellent job and increases your speed from a porti with no bucketing etc.

sometimes do as Stuart outlines.
if I can get the discharge hose to a kitchen/bathroom external drain I do.
if lots of shrubbery next to the drive it goes there.
I also have a smaller wheelie bin I have adapted to accept the 2" hose thro a hole. I am going to put a tap close to the bottom and connect to this ordainary garden hose which I can then run to a "dirty" drain.

After I have used an envirodri on some carpets there are always loads of loose fibres and general 'crud' from the carpet.
Does the prowler pump this out ok if it is drawn up the wand or would you need to use a vac on them

There is a filter box before the blower which collects the rubbish.
Its amazing what does get collected even if you used a Sebo or any other vac beforehand.
The filter may require cleaning during a job depending on how big the job is but that is a easy job taking minutes.

Most TM's have a button trap and the prowler is no exception just a quick clear and your off just like the filter on a porti, starting to wish I'd have got one now.

There is a lot of crud after the envirodri but that can be brushed and picked up, the rest as Joe says gets as far as the filter

I'm glad someone mentioned the 'steam' from the Prowler, gives me the chance to  show these photos i took  last week, I love cold mornings the steam attracts more interest than the noise of the machine :D :D
