I'm selling my Steempro 200 Powermax for £500 if your intrested? Its clean and full working order. Had 2 new vacs put in it two months before i stopped using it. Also the pump is only around 4 months old.

Its sat doing nothing for the last 18 months as i upgraded machine, and i need to declutter lol

Comes with 25ft of hose and solution line, plus a 2 jet prochem wand and for another £60 i'll throw in the prochem upholstery hand tool. These retail at about £170.00 if i remember.

All you need then is a proper van! and your in business :)

if you intrested give me a buzz 07835 627 741

Cheers
Tony

Post by: Ian Rochester on April 16, 2011, 06:10:45 pm: It's not a business, it comes with no customers nor database, you're basically buying his gear off him. If you need it fine, if not why spend the money?

Post by: Steve Rothwell on April 20, 2011, 09:37:35 pm: Sorry but a Henry and Numatic do not make a carpet cleaning business..............

This is just the sort of thing that Simon was on about in another thread, someone who is not in the industry may buy that thinking that it is a "ready made business" as advertised, and then go and promptly ruin a lot of carpets and give us all a bad name again.
