New Altec Machine
« on: September 15, 2012, 08:00:55 am »
Hi, I thought some would find this interesting.

These are the new Alltec Evolution basic specs:
Moulded fibreglass body on aluminium base.
Twin 6.6inch two-stage high performance lamb vac motors.
600psi pumptec pump.
3kw in-tank heater & 2kw in-line heater.

You'll need to contact them, I wanted to know if it was plastic or fibreglass. I had a Sahara machine before and it looked good for years. D

Build quality looks great as to does the Cleansmart that has same vacs in it.  Is it just the Jag that looks cheap n nasty.

Paul Pearce used it for the rug cleaning demo.

I was looking at Allan Simmons Get Booked Up Software and was impressed with how quiet it was.

even the old alltecs had a built in foam lined silencer molded into the fiberglass body , i presume thats why its quiet .. although the 6.6 motor may have slightly different tone too .

So the new machine is £3370 + VAT and a new Jag will cost around £2600 + VAT
How much better will the new machine preform for a lot more money?

Thats a fair point  ...

The heater will be included which jag buyers would have to pay 500 or so extra for ( or does it not need heat  ;D )
Jag has two cords no heat ( 3 cords needed for heat ... alltec just needs two cords )

The APO is optional  ... I know i could live with out it , can be fussy too .

Quality /design / appearance  is subjective but i know which i'd choose .

£4000 inc vat is to much for any  portable your better with the powerflight machines at nearly half the price.

The look/design of the alltec is also an ugly bugger!!

Alltec have obviously built a good, powerful  machine. But why the hell do they make them look like crap?

IMO
