Thanks, so do they work in the same way as the powerplus, and how often do you get yours serviced?

I have had a couple inthe 80s but mine only had one vac so when ichanged to the ninja i found the cleaning power better.

I think they were (or still are) the biggest selling extraction machine of all time :o

Thanks, its a toss up between getting a new powerplus or the used steemeasy you see..  it has a new pump and vac too..

The power range of machines  would give you better performance than a steemeasy,you mention the powerplus which is the largest one in the range unless you need the extra capacity i think you are better of with the powermax.
Twin vacs 100 psi pump optional inline.I used to have a cheyanne too big and cumersome for the performance. only my opinion though.

I see, just that this Steemeasy is £500 with new 100psi pump new vac and heater, the powerplus is close to £1600.  Was hoping to get the cheaper option and when i earn a few quid i could get the Powerplus and use the Steemeasy as a back up..

In that case dave do as you say get the cheaper machine then get some cash togeather then upgrade. Just check the steameasy for any cracks to the body work.

I still use the 400 now and have never needed two vacs or more pressure then 100psi.
I service the machine myself no problem go on buy it and have a go contact me if you need any help.

Thanks Spickandspan, your not the guy selling it are you?   ;D

Seriously though what should i look out for when viewing the machine, also there is a Cheyenne going for a similar price, he says it has a new 135psi Flojet pump (doesn't mean much top me as just starting!)

Any advice would be great.  :P

Hi again,

What can you tell me about the Ninja 400?  Are they any good and anything to look out for in a used one?
