I still can't understand why you guys pay so much for your equipment in the UK. I bought a Prochem Everest HP (3000psi) dual wand for R280,000. Also I didn't import the machine myself but through the Prochem AGent in Johannesburg.
Consider that the exchange rate is 14 to 1.
This included 7 additional 15m Vac hoses
7 additional HP hoses
1 Additional Prochem quad jet carpet wand
Full reel for hoses
R57,000 was for the Trailer designed to house the machine
Import duties and VAT (which I got back)
I am considering getting the Prowler as another machine and expect that to land in the country at about R55,000 (still have some homework to do)
