Anyone seen this. I think it's made by the same people that make the prowler.

We haven't decided whether to sell them or not. As said all the motors would need to be changed along with the wiring. Then it would have to be CE certified.

Certainly looks good. Whether they'd sell would depend on the price!

I'm surprised they don't offer a 240v version.

If its an electric prowler, then how much current would it need to be pulling?

Weight is 198 lbs, but it,s rated as a t/m and a major benefit of this machine, is the fact that IT DOESN'T NEED A WASTE TANK .

The waste is vaporised

In American format the electric version, cost is about 50% less than the Prowler, but that's in 110 v format.

I think it has a nice "industrial" look to it.

A lot of the stuff currently on the market looks too "plasticy".

The eProwler is positively pretty compared to this design disaster. It has four 2stage vacs though. 2 mounted together on each side in series then these two pairs mounted in parallel with each other. Its billed as an electric  tm but needs 4 power cords ???

It looks just like a Baby Burco!

not so much as can't be arsed, but more like is it right for the market?, for instance there is no heater on that machine, and lots of people want a heater.

Plus it's been surpassed you havent seen what i am picking up at the airport on monday, and due the fact you are far to quick to judge i'm not telling, plus john would break my legs.
