With only 355 days to go THIS YEAR, not sure if I can hold my breath that long  ;)
If there isn't enough time to do the job right,  how do we find the time to go back and do it again when the customer is not happy ?   Do it right the 1st Time.

Come on give the guy a chance!

Extracta used to be the Rolls Royce of machines but like Silver Shadows (I once had a RR) they never kept up with the times and became dated and the industry moved on.

Extracta....crap

Many carpet cleaners on here who are now using TM's used Extracta machinery for years. Both Extracta & Alltec IMO are still the very best porty builders in the UK, why? because their machinery is made of fibreglass, look impressive with all the bells and whistles on!! O yeah, I nearly forgot, they perform well too!! Who needs to pump gallons of water on a carpet?

What do you use, a numatic? (only kidding)  ;D

No, I've got an Airflex. The best/most powerful portable on the market.

Its a second kinda cool yes, but looks play a HUGE part in this business!

He who looks to the past, is certain to miss the future! John F Kennedy said that before he got shot.

LOL

Interesting news about Extracta, lets see if they have been listening to what their customers have been saying and come out with a machine to suit, personnally I really liked my extracta exel, it needed a bigger pump and improved access to the pump and vacs was the biggest issue.

Well, I for one wish Extracta every success with their new 'Big Change'. John and Brian are very honest and helpful people.

If they'd had a Triple Vac 600psi at the time of me buying my Alltec Advance 600psi, I would have given serious consideration to buying from Extracta.

Ian

Whats the "lots of laughs" for mate?? :)

I mean come on! are you guys serious?!!  you trying to compare an Extracta with the likes of AirFlex in looks and performance!! that is truely worth a LOL big time!

Your blind in the eyes if you think Extracta is anywhere near as good as current 600psi, 3 vac motor machines on the market!

Ian or Nick (or who ever the Fck you are!) have you actually used an airflex? I have used an Extracta, three ningas, steam pro, galaxy, Powr-Flite perfect heat systems, alltec machines (not the newer 600psi ones) to name a few and the Airflex was by far supiror to those.

The Perfect heat is also a great machine, specialy the heat element but the ease of changing vac motors and pumps etc in the Airflex makes it No1.

Cant beleive i just wasted 10 minutes having to explain simple common sense to trolls!

I wonder if now is a boom time for portable suppliers. Lots of redundant folk with a bit of redundacy and an optimistic outlook.

It's not expensive, you just can't afford it.

In reality most porties are essentially the same, a couple of vacs, a pump and case to put it in !  ;)

it never ceases to amaze me the time spent & wasted debating which one is the best, just get on and use the thing  ::)

Extracta have survived along time with there machines so they must be doing something right, and there service is second to none, which in the broader picture is just as important as having the latest in thing with super duper gadjets attached.

With a little know how, you can tweak most porties to work the way you want them to !
