Can you say a bit more about the steamer with this unit (I've seen the leaflet) and perhaps comment on what type of jobs its suitable for tackling ??  I'm also keen on the Ninja, amongst other options.

Cheers

If i was to get another portie i would take a serious look at the powerflite PFX 1350,
Saw it at the cleaning show and it seems good value at £2650 with the wonderwand and tool.
Cant wait to see the new Alltech machine tho must admit.
What machine you using now John?

Do you get steam all of the time? if you key your wand the back pressure will provide steam as the water is sat in the heat exchanger but as it flows through will it provide constant steam?

Think its just a v2 steamate built in also you caint have the in heater on and also the v2 at the same time

[Shaun_Ashmore]

I don't think you'd need a heater with a V2 although they were very prone to breaking though.

Alltec is made for you Clinton.

The one that keeps catching my eye is the CFR perfect heat, 1 cable only, refilters its own water so very little bucket work, 500psi.

Attach a rotavac 360 and you've got yourself a TM clean.

Clinton WHY would you want the heater element on and the v2 ?? The idea is that while you get the job ready vac pre spray etc the water in the machine is getting upto about 60-70% when you are ready you switch over to the v2 steam mate passing already heated water over the heat exchanger this system works very well indeed. I have found it to be a great asset and trouble.

I wouldnt want both on jsu for newbies they might think you can have both running at the same time.

Did fancy it for another portie but didnt like they set up at the distrubuters :

[Tony Gill Carpet Smart]

Right I see what you where getting at. Yeh I know what you mean about Ashbys but they are better for knowing and have treated me OK  : ish

Can,t really see what advantage new ninja with built in steam has.
I have old type with v2 portable and to me is much better system.

When I am using 75ft or 100ft hose you can put v2 at the end of 50ft ,25ft so is not loosing as much heat through the pipes and v2 is nearer to you to adjust the temperature saving my poor old legs.
 

[Tony Gill Carpet Smart]

Maybe Maybe not as the water reaching the heat exchanger would have cooled prorata THINK that's the right spelling I just like it as a tidy package witout someting else to plug in EACH to HIS OWN

Having something else to plug into a different room or different floor if need be  is  a big advantage, with these new houses that trip so easily even if light bulb goes.

[Tony Gill Carpet Smart]

Never Ever had a problem get it PAT tested you might have an earth leak

[Roy Edwards]

I mean't running 2 heaters off 1 socket,never meantion my machine tripping out.
Do they run both at same time Tony.

[Tony Gill Carpet Smart]

Sorry thought you mean't yours No you can't run both together it is switched that way.

Do you get  steam on longer hoses,I am sure new  built in V2 must be an improvment .
Problem I find  is portable V2 doesn't work that well when connected directly to Ninja when you go beyond 50ft.
There is no question it is hotter when i connect V2  higher up the pipes.
