Turns out that the Airflex used in this demo was a year old and was taken into the Dartford branch for a small repair, an overheating plug ! from what i understand they delayed getting the machine back it had a PAT test and cable replaced something that could easily be done at Dartford, it was in fact at the main branch being used to make this video without the owners knowledge. this is of course third party but if the owner wants to confirm or Ashbys deny then feel free.
I have some serious doubts about the validity of this demo its hardly been carried out on neutral ground has it, Storm has the same motors and is more powerful than the Turbo i doubt the enforcer is the machine they are claiming. the specs in this "Ashbys" video are rather suspicious for the Airflex
Your never going to get all the machines in peak condition ie new all running alongside each other and have a scientific test carried out with an impartial adjudicator, i also don't think the suppliers want that either a fault on a machine could cost them dearly, i think the top flite machines are very similar and the thing that tips the balance for me after the spec is the ease of working on the machine, i'm a complete numpty when it comes to electrics and mechanical things but the Airflex is easy to work on because its accessible due to the flip interior workings, vacs can be changed in under ten minutes, the next thing i look for is reliability which has been excellent , then it's supplier relationship, Mat at Cleansmart goes out of his way he has never held it against me that i did not buy my machine from him direct even recognising the warranty and talking me out of changes to my set up at the expense of him making money.
Lastly it's the look of the machine, my Airflex looks professional and promotes my company so for me the Airflex ticks all the boxes and the other machine from down south ticks many boxes too.
