It's funny, it looks almost identical visually and in spec to the higher priced 3-stage selling for £108.

I think it must be a case of you don't get what you don't pay for ???

It would be natural to think that you're going to get less life out of the cheaper one and it may even not perform as strongly.  Who knows?  Give them a call and ask would be the best thing I'd think.

If you mean the Hi-Trak, I've had one in my Ninja from Brush Systems UK for a few months now and it's been fine.

its a 5.7 inch most machines use a 7.2 inch. Will still work but you may have adjust the metal clips that attach it to the body. Not sure which size the powerflite is fitted with as standard.

Im not sure how you tell if they are any good.

I buy them  and then when it breaks I buy another.

At present I have an expensive one fitted and then a £45


but no idea how you prove if they give same performance. or last as long as that appears to be in the hands of the Gods

no Idea if they fit machine in question.

Horn is plastic  I do not know if metal ones give suppirior performance

replaced mine a while ago. Needs to be the type with the metal horn because they hang upside down and are bolted onto a foam gasket so need to be strong. The ones in my machine are Imperial motors not Lamb ones. My old Rhino had the same ones , expensive £140 plus vat , but last for ages and take some abuse.
