Title: Prochem Steampro Powermax
Post by: Steve Weatherley on November 24, 2011, 05:39:04 pm: Is this machine any good?

I am currently using a Ninja 400psi but the running costs are just too high - for example a new pump head (only the head) - £222.50 + VAT. I have spent over £1000 in the last 6 months on this machine.

I am looking at the Prochem machine because I have a local supplier who can carry out repairs and a much more reasonable rate, not to mention the parts being considerably less

Was speaking to a guy yesterday who has a steampro and is moving to a Altec machine, but he did rate the steampro.

You say you have had machine for 4 Years depends on what else you had done in 4 year period.

If for your £1000 that included two new motors you close to reconditioning your Ninja

Apart from S teammate and heating element

£222 + vat is a lot of dosh for your 205 pumptec pumphead complete.
You can do a lot better from a Pumptec Agent
