no experience of them , but they look like good value at just over £2000 ,
 500psi   3000w heat  and clever passive preheater ,
+ two three stages in series  ...    good use of two powercords .

Yes I'd agree with John, there's one on eBay ATM not sure of condition of it though if you buy new you get warranty 2nd hand you may get a bargain a bit of a roll the dice moment.

I've had few machines over the years and this is by far the best machine I've used straight up. Mine is now about 5 years old and have only replaced two vacs. It has been going the last two weeks 5 days a week constantly. Mega machines in my opinion.

All machines made/sold by the major suppliers are good and work well. Its a bit like cars, some people swear by a Vectra and some like a Focus. At the end of the day they do the same thing and are all much of a muchness ( I like that word  :))
You have just got to learn how to use the machine to the best of its/ your ability and then get your head around cleaning/chemicals/drying/stain removal/odour removal/ etc etc and then your there  :D

I could be in market for replacement equipment and did like idea of these hen they first came out. I think Mark Roberts The irish one bought one but appeared to change equipment very quick  so made me think they may not be that good.

So how often do you need to clean filter. How do you keep cleaning chemicals working if you use in tank onces , how long could you clean without the need to refresh water.

Or does the machine come into its on when cleaning commercial

So I will probably go Jaguar as you do not have to buy tools  or airflex
