??? I was thinking of buying one of these mytee 450 psi twin inline heaters whats your thoughts please good machine or not thinking of spending £2000 ish thought of the 400 psi ninja steam built in steam ??? any one had one from woodbridge
-
Excellent machine, mine rarely comes off the van.
Had nearly two years with no problem,, easily runs 3 lengths of hose.
Only problem really is the heaters aren't all that.
-
Would agree with Andy on the heaters but mine did last 2.5 years. Great machine, easy to lift in and out of van. Watch cooling fan on front of machine. If you miss the clean water tank and it runs down the front it can short the fan. I just have a towel stuffed into handle to catch any drips. Apart from heaters, everything else is good.
Regards
Jon

Matt fit mine with a rubber 'flap' to stop it but I still do the towel in the handle thing lol
-
guys has yours got twin in line heaters as I am told this is a new thing there doing ??? and they produce constant hot true or not so ???
-
Mines 2 years old, the newer ones do indeed state 'real heat'
Basically the ones in mine are fantastic if the water is 'mildly warm' it really heats it up. if it's clap cold then it barely touches it
-
I have been to see one today very impressed they asure me its constant very hot being 2 heaters you can turn one off if you wish,
it also has clip on bars so you can carry the hose on the side its very well made bit of kit,I may well be getting this monday,it also has heavy
duty cables,pump gauge all for £2145 with tools it does look the dogs

Terry
I had the opportunity to "play" with a Speedster at a suppliers Open Day a few years ago. I must say I was very impressed with the performance and it seemed to work well with the AW29 wand supplied with it at the time. From this short experience, the only thing I was wary of was the very small aperture for filling the tank. Easy to spill water.
Since then, I have spoken to quite a few people who were displeased with their Speedsters, or new someone who was. The problems I've heard of are from overspilt water affecting electrics and premature component failure, particularly non-Lamb vacs and heaters, along with support from their suppliers. I know of one distributor who, so the story goes, stopped selling them for this reason.
It's up to yourself to decide what to buy, but I must say that your experience today may be an indicator.
Safe and happy cleaning :)

Safe and happy cleaning :)

??? ::) Help ??? ??? ???

Terry
Did woodbridge explain the problem?
Was it something they knew about and couldnt rectify?
-
Joe I test drove this on tuesday last week it would not get hot, I went bck next day they said a wire was off one of the heaters test drove again all good,saturday 40 mins into the job no heat all dead,sunday opened up machine to find the inline heater both safety buttons had blew out,this problem I had with another machine started to bring back bad memorys ::) took it back today
John very fair and helpful but he to did say inline heaters can have there moments,I just decided to give this machine a miss,for me somthing is not quite right ??? but fair play to woodbridge they are good people to deal with and found them very helpful and they were very understanding because they know of my problems with machines in the past, I now not sure what to get ???
-
Sounds like the machine has no kind of bypass on so when you stop work and the water stops flowing it still heats up until it trips the upper limit stat.
Prochem heat and run inline heaters do this too.
On a Ninja you can open the bypass valve if you stop wanding and the water goes back to the clean tank.
-
interesting I keep looking at the ninja I had one but I am looking at the 400psi
steam mate built i and a heater in the tank cost £3,100 ish in vat :o ???

the ninja is expensive but it is a brilliant bit of kit i have had mine for 18 months with no problems and the heat the built in steam mate generates even from cold water is amazing.
get some of them winnings spent you tight arse ;D ;D ;D
-
;D Trev m8 you going windex just sold my other machine 4 £750 and this saturday one bloody horse let me down 4 £6,000 :o another bad day at the office picked up £520 ;D :o :-*
-
Hi Trevor,
For what its worth i would recommend the Powerflite Perfect heat pfx1350. The built in heater has a 3 year warranty, it works very well indeed. If you still have the inline heater you picked up from Woodbridge, then this would ensure you get plenty of steam.
Give Karl a ring at Amtech their always helpful.

Agree with Joe had my Powerflight 1350 for a year now its a top machine the heat is great on it just make sure it comes with the Imperial Vacs.
-
some one told me that there is a problem with the dump tank leaking into the insides :-\
-
Never had a problem with mine leaking.
-
No problems with leaks at all. Main problem is slopping
water when filling. ???
Once you get the technique no trouble. In 3 years only
problem with heater is one bi-metallic switch broke, about
£2 for a new one.
Amtech stopped using Chinese vac's.
-
|Hi what model do you have ???
-
Terry although I am now trucky I started out with the 400psi Ninja built in tank heater and built in steam mate nothing went wrong in three years Brilliant bit of kit. I would not part with it still use it when I have to. The big advantage with having an in tank heater is you are then passing already hot watwer over the heat exchanger which makes a massive differance you won't be disapointed.

Hi Tony once had a ninja 135 psi heater I am now going to wait untill the show I am looking at the Powerflight which has same
more or as the ninja,the only thing I dont like about the ninja its looking a bit dated body wise I do agree with you they are tried
and tested and stood there performance well :-\ I may well get a deal at the show as the show people would love to sell there products
and take one less home ;D
-
OR go TM ;D ;D
-

I think it was Jim Neal who once said to someone who said that:
Do you want to clean carpets with it or shag it! ;D ;)
-
Terry i have the PFX 1350 Perfect heat.
Tap hot water in the tank, means burnt fingers
on the brass parts at 50'. :-X
Ninjas are good i have an old one as back up still,
but the Powrflite makes it look like a toy ;)
-
Thanks I have spoken to Karl at Amtec and I am going to wait now I will be at the show e said he would do a deal at the show
might get a good few bob off ;D ::) well they be happy not to take another one home :o
-
;D Trev m8 you going windex just sold my other machine 4 £750 and this saturday one bloody horse let me down 4 £6,000 :o another bad day at the office picked up £520 ;D :o :-*
yes terry i am going i will come and have a chat.
-
;D Gooooooooood! ;D
-
AJB at what psi does the steam/heat come through?
Shaun
-
I think they are 500psi
-
With steam?
Shaun
-
I find the higher the psi the hotter.
You don't get steam but it is seriously hot,
even enough to heat the wand as it comes
back out of the carpet.
-
AJ how much you pay for your one have you the wander wand ??? how do they perform I went and got teeflon glide the other day if I get this machine you dont need it :-\
-
I tried my Heat and Run with my Powerflight to see what it would be like it didnt work at all the water was far to hot from the Powerflight and the light didnt go on once on the Heat and Run i think the thermostat is set at 70 degrees.Terry i had a Wonder Wand didnt like it at all you use far to much water and spend most of the time filling and emptying the machine.
-
I know they are £490 ish just going to wait and see whats at the show I like the look of these machines but they are not cheap
so confusing as to what to get just want realiable machine,so I am still looking :-\
-
I paid about £3500 for mine, a complete package with
Wonderwand which was closer to £600 then. 5" CFR handtool,
2 x 10m Hide a hoses, TM conversion hose for handtool. I needed the package
as my previous machines were 135 Psi so no high pressure hoses etc.
Chose Powrflite as easier to load than Ninja, and i'm not getting any younger.
The day it arrived i thought s*~t what have i done, it's massive.
