I have had the opportunity to only look at one in a showroom, but to be honest my attention was taken away from it (and the CFR perfect heat) in favour of the Mytee speedster.

No, I have not found noise to be an issue.....if anything customers have commented that it is obviously very powerfull, I guess they see it as a positive...

Not quite sure what you mean about back service...... ???

Due to the fact that I have only had the machine 3 months, it has not needed to be serviced, and I have yet to have any major problems.  I did have one brass coupling that cracked, and it was sent to me first class, and got it the following day.

Therefore, the jury is still out.....  However, I have found Matt at Cleansmart to be very good indeed, and I am confident that I will have no problems.

The wonder wand does take some getting used to, but you must stick with at....I am glad that I paid the extra.

Hi Dutch what did you think to the Alltec??? I am thinking of getting one.

Hi Dutch,
In answer to your question about how many feet of hose with the powr flite , in all honesty I have only used it with fifty feet so cant say what results are like with longer lengths, however it has  220 cfm from two 3 stage vacs and 240 inches of lift so I would think that even 100 ft should not be a problem  esp with a wonderwand.

Regards

Fred

Try the Raptor from Hydramaster great heat and extraction, or go for it with a T/m and clean as far away as you like...Simon

I would keep it if I were you; never know when you may need it! Like hard to reach places or the dreaded break down, what a back-up machine puts mine too shame. ::)

Cant get it on the van now so no good as a back up. If the tm does break downI can get the part out to me next day for replacement. :D
