If you can, you want to have a chat with DriveMaster on this forum, he the one who uses this equipment everyday!

In my opinion, either will do the job to clean flat surfaces, but personally I would go for the mosmatic range because they are made from stainless steel, plus the large industrial ones go up to 5000 psi.

They also do a roof cleaner, and duct cleaning head!

Having been looking for a rotary cleaner myself it may be the few hundred pounds difference between the two which could be why people go for the Whirlaway.
I have now opted for the Mosmatic as I need one which can connect to a 5000psi machine which we hire for occasional work which I did not consider when looking at the Whirl-a-way.

Have a look on www.jet-wash-direct.com

They have nothing to do with me but they seem to stock all the models required and were certainly full of information.

I had a look at some American sites but they display slightly different models as the Mosmatic were 20 inch and 4000psi not the 21 inch 5000psi that I bought but probably worth checking.
I also needed it relatively quickly and could not be bothered with international postage and working out how much import taxes and delivery was going to cost on top of purchase price.

Might be worth contacting the Mosmatic company direct, to see who is the distributor for the UK market.

HI
I am also interested in buying a hard surface cleaner and found a guy in florida (via ebay) that sells 20" whirlaway for $325 which is about £165
Even after postage its still half the price you pay in th uk,
and looking at the spec the fittings seem the same.
I've emailed the seller and he says he ships to the uk frequently,
Has anyone bought one of these machines frome the us?
and if so have they had any problems with postage,fittings,tax etc ??
