You'd expect me to say this, but it is a poor copy. Chemtex and Amtex who make the Prowler are based in the same place and are competitors.
This one doesn't suck directly through the blower like the Prowler as they haven't cracked how its done. It has a small waste tank on the back with a sub pump in it. Basically a small standard truckmount on wheels.
No innovation whatsoever.
Looks like it only has a 1/5" vacuum port as well.

I you would everytime someone metions it you stick your 2 pennorth in. How long do you think that small tank and sub pump would take to clog up.

thats what these forum are for!! so people can stick there  ' 2 pennorth in'

its just when someone says something silly like 'they haven't cracked how its done'  I have to chip in, lets be sensible do you really believe that?.... of course they know how its done.

does the prowler suck direct through the blower then?????  Do you have to run a hose direct from the machine to a waste drain?

that guy walking the Humber is a ft taller than Mike ;D 

He has done it on a couple of occasions for charity, I dont think that was filmed especialy for top gear  :-\ I believe it was incorparated whilst doing one of the walks.
His first walk was actually underwater, with a breathing tube attached to boat.
he plans to take on the Mersey and the thames I believe , if not already done  :-\
He is a custy of mine :) a big man indeed.
