Alltec has a new model out porty 600psi called the advance, anyone have one yet?
-
Same spec as the Advantage - only difference is the pump and it looks a bit different.
It's aimed at hard floor cleaning hence the extra psi - you couldnt clean carpets at 600psi with twin vacs - unless maybe with a wonderwand, but then your tank would empty rather quickly :P
-
Has it got two or three vacs?Could not see it on there site...
-
Kev, the tank woudn't empty any quicker using the Wonderwand I thought the same when I replaced my Excel their no significant increase in water. Must be the smaller jets.

I find it strange you would want 600psi on hard floor areas? If most people checkd their pumps/flow/output at the t jet they would find a whole host of discrepencies. How many people are going throuh pumps evey six to 8 months? There is no way anyone could physically use 600 psi. the pumps are working on backpressure and are constantly pumping through the pumpheads which cannot handle these types of pressures/flows.
One day soon someone is going to invent a machine that dispells these myths and uses the correct flow/psi ratios. Or maye someone already has............

Just read up on the Rotovac 360 - a brilliant bit of kit.Check out the vids on you tube. I'm throwing the wand out of the van.....
-
The 360's not for everyone. I think its a case of you either luv em or hate em. Heavy and carpet is wetter than a wand, which means wanding to help drying - so I've heard, but a much better clean. Often see them for sale though. More suited to a commercial environment.
The RX20 is another option, apparently better but more expensive.

There is a variable speed rotovac
You can fit brushes but apparentley not a lot of good on grout.
They are about £1350 on World of Clean Website but you need to check parts are available from supplier as it is doubtful that Alltec will service them
.
To date Alltec have not reduced theirs, officially but might be worth asking as thy do have phrase
If you can find a machine with the same specification as an Alltec machine etc we will match price plus etc
So this clause might not apply to Rotovac
-
Gary,
Re your last paragraph. Do you not think that Alltec has thought this through and have applied a pump that has the capability of 600 psi without the back pressure issues that you mention. Higher pressure for tile & grout as it is controlled indoor pressure washing.

i have a rotavac 360 they are really good but if you dont turn the valve to control the presure hose it is fine and is just has dry if not drier then a wand does really good job but cant use in tile carpets .and i do have a number for a place who deal in repairs and spares if you ever need it .
and you sweat less with one alot easier then wand think of it 1500 rotations a minute to yours .
;D
