Title: Ninjas for sale
Post by: Mike Halliday on October 08, 2006, 09:51:40 am
I know this looks like its in the wrong section but if anyone is after a second hand Ninja look in this months NCCA mag their are some for sale that are an absolute bargain, being sold by Chemdry, which were used by homeserve for their insurance section so have had very little use and are in great condition.

I looked at them a couple of months ago for a mate down south who was interested in one.

most of them looked like new.

£750

I have a question? would my Prochem Steempro attachments ie: upholstery, stair cleaner & hoses, fit onto the Ashby Ninja model?

we just got one of these ninjas,the heater seems not to work,should the
red light come on,when its reached a temperature,as we are getting no heat,made sure we filled up enough :-\ any ideas

If it's the internal Steammate, the red light only comes on when the pump is running and goes out when it gets to temperature.
The heating element manufacturer (Watlow) told me to expect only around 18 months from a Steammate element so it might have blown .

Usually only needs an element. Part number NFRL10A27A
I buy direct from Watlow (0115 964 0777)
I paid £41.25 + VAT each in August 05

I only have a Heatermate (I keep calling it a steammate!) not an in tank heater so not sure.
Sent something to the email address on your website, hope it helps.

Edit: just checked the manual  ;) the light goes off when it reaches temp on the intank heater.

Well Terry,
It was a false alarm with my Ninja! basically I hadn't initially put the correct amount of water in for the heater to kick in  :o
