But they aren't the same price as a Ninja ???
-
Do you think the ninja is a good cleaning machine and have you ever used one
-
I think most people on here have used a Ninja at some point and most people swear by them. I wouldn't buy one because I found them rude and unprofessional when I phoned them! I went to Alltec and the service there is fantastic and people always comment on the look of the machine. Nick's machines are a lot more powerful than mine, but they are also alot more expensive.
-
Yes i'm just waiting for some info from alltec it should be in the post i'll have a look and check them out
cheers for your info

Cheers for the advice i will give ashbys a call for a demo.
-
Have to agree with Len - it's a great machine but get the V2 steammate instead of the dry cleaning gear.
-
Machine not bad but aftersales leaves alot to be desired.Do a search on this forum for ashbys and see for yourself.

out of all machines i have used over the years, for good looks, value & price the extracta excel by extracta out performs other machines, the only thing i would say to extracta is why can you not put the same size wheels on the back as the front
any comments
-
If they put the same wheels on the back how would you pull it up the stairs?
-
a lot ? are u taking the pxxxs or being serious ?
-
Hi All
The Scorpion package is under £3000 and on demo Saturday during use we had 80/20 dry in 10 minutes, absolutley unbelievable, machine was outside, no inline heat used, and running 75tf of hose without the additional booster. needless to say demonstartion produced a sale.
Best regards Nick
-
perhaps it wasnt very dirty then if u needed no heat ? if i use my powermate with my ninja and steam plus over 100ft hose its dry before i leave the property, just another example of how diffrent setups can achieve fast dry times , allways c demos of diffrent machines before u buy

lol nick y the ???

I have a ninja , cant fault it - gets good results . I just went for the twin vac, built in heater , 135 psi pump , 50ft hose package, can't see the need for more
order a yellow one if you can - the blue one looks old and dated I think .
check out www.jsmcleaning.co.uk to see what it can do in the photos .

Only glanced at your web site but why have you mentioned that the Ninja is Ashbys flagship machine and you can add pc1001 which is a solvent capibility.
I dont think the customer needs to know this and maybe be taking thier attention away from your main message.
Just a thought.

I've been using Ashby's 400psi V2 ninja with 3kw element heater for over 2 years now, running 50 - 75' heat shrouded hoses. It stays outside the property with a silencer connected so the exhaust noise doesn't wind up the neighbours. This is an astoundingly well built machine. Some complain that its heavy - I dont attend a gym and I manage to get it around just fine. I've bought some really shoddily built poorly designed machines in the past (Masterclean) that have required some form of electrical or plumbing work on a weekly basis but I recon this Ninja has got AT LEAST another ten years in it.
As mentioned elsewhere on this forum - it isn't just the machine that produces good results, it's knowing how to use it and having the right attitude toward your work. I've had this long enough now to comment that it's a very good all rounder. Looking forward to Ashby's new high powered oversize vacuum motor built into a silencer to run inline with the two triples in the machine. (That should put the cat among the pidgeons!) ;D
Only one minor problem... I used to like using Chemspec powders but the foam generated by these kills off the pump head (and these are not cheapy heads). The inside of the pump head looks like it's suffered from an attack of woodworm (with titanium tipped teeth), this is a common problem with hydraulic equipment when air gets into the system. (It's recognised by a special name..........No, can't remember it.) Nothing wrong with Chemspec chemicals - its just that the V2 ninja has a recirculating system so that the pressure from the inline heater doesn't blow your plumbing to kingdom come and continually recirculating highly foaming shampoo starts introducing a lot of air into the system. Any way Ashby's changed the pump head (They do have good customer service, ... if you're pleasant then you'll always get looked after. Common sense really!) and I have used Prochem ever since with top results.
Serious kit for professional carpet cleaners. Buy with confidence!!!

Alan,
Welcome and good first post.
The Ninja has been getting some good reports of late but back up is sometimes critisicised.
I think i'll have a try out in 2006.
Cheers
