I've had two V2 steam mates before and found the heat produced was hotter and lasted longer but they are bigger and heavier.

A metal cylinder with one or two heating elements inserted ...
Def the amtech i use like this inside , a dual core id say , the fatter ones are dual core . Some also have two seperate cylinders connected together , the mytee i believe has 4 switches , each switching on/off a 600w element .
So whats different about the Ashbys , on the website they mention a copper coil heat exchanger , so perhaps they wrap a copper coil around the metal cylinder , thus increasing efficiency and accounting for the extra weight . ??

Perhaps , but im right about the steammate , actually it said it on their website when i looked

"Cleaning solution flows through a unique 15 metre copper coil heat-exchanger wrapped around a heated core. This design is dramatically more efficient than a regular hot box system, where cleaning solution flows rapidly through a channelled heated metal block, which then cools down. Our design produces high-heat, even when cleaning at pressures up to 600 psi – see the video."
