Title: New Machine
Post by: gary hall on January 21, 2009, 03:34:24 pm

Hi Guys - happy new year to you all by the way.

I have been trading for just over two years now and I use a cleanpro  injection /extraction machine  2 x 3-stage vacs, 130psi pump, 70 litres tank and a 3-jet wand
I am looking to get a more powerful machine - I can not afford a truck mount and I do not feel ready for one to be honest !! Is there any one out there with some ideas as to what I can start to look at ( heard the Ninja dual heat  400 psi is good )
I have a  budget of £2,000 - £4,000 .

Thank you for your help .

If I were in your shoes Gary that's probably what I would stump for.

I've had my 400 psi Ninja with built in heater for 18 months, and am very pleased with it.

I bought a Scorpion about 4 months ago and it's been fantastic. No inbuilt heater but that hasn't caused me a problem as yet.   Excellent power, superb suction, i'm leaving carpets much dryer than i used to with a lot less dry passes. Cost me £3000 with all the bits and bobs with it.

Ashby's although you may be lucky and pick up a decent second hand one.

Stump up a bit more and get a Prowler, top piece of kit  ;)

Look on Ebay for a 2nd hand Ninja.  Sometimes they appear in the buy-sell section on this forum.

but I reckon you would be very fortunate to find a 2nd hand Scorpion.

Hi gary

Same as the above really the new ninja duel heat looks a good tool to have and you can also get an extra vac booster.

The scorpion has had some great stuff written about it :)
