I've a Ninja with all the bells and whistles ie in-line heater/auto dump. And I do have found Ashbys a nightmare to deal with. But is it only me that finds the Ninja much to awkward to manhandle anywhere awkward ie up/down steps etc? So much so that I've a 4yr old Ninja gathering dust with only a years work down out of it.

The point we need to remember is our suppliers specialize in servicing our machines.

Hence they do charge a premium price because they know we only use them when we have a problem we cannot fix or the local washing machine  guy does not know what to do or we cannot find a part.

[Matt Seymour]

Have to say the Enforcer does bear an uncanny resemblance to my black recycling wheelie bin!

[jsm]

I felt they took advantage in my first year trading so sold the machine which was quite good but now have the Airflex turbo,better machine much better service and most importantly "trust" cleansmart look at the long term benefits of customer service rather then the quick buck that Ashbys seem to adopt

plus the cleansmart lady sounds nicer on the phone :-)

lol phone them both up and see for yourself lol   

[creighton foyle]

cleansmart lady is sarah i call her posh cos thats how she sounds, she's a really nice lady and matts a good guy too service is 1st class.

you did not say if they did a good job or not with the service? I know it was expensive but that was your choice you could have taken it to someone else like the guy in Watford.

I agree with what you say but the ninja is a great machine and is value for money. its just the service that bad. but that fixable

The service was ok but how good can service be if you do not have trust in them, being new to carpet cleaning i was in their hands as to what "needed" doing it was a steep learning curve but i learnt a valuable lesson, to this day i still do not understand any company behaving like that, i am totally happy with Mat at cleansmart a few times he could have sold me stuff that with hindsight i knew i did not need but he gave honest advice an opted for long term customer service rather that the quick buck option, well thats how i saw it.

[james roffey]

Sarah at cleansmart  very good at her job and sounds

Is anybody out there using one of these machines??

Mr B

[clinton]

Are they on the market yet

[Shaun_Ashmore]

What's the weight? are they 2 or 3 vac?

Not sure if most 3 vac machines are 5" vac motors is there too much voltage for the 7" ones?

You do have to look at what you want from a machine, Scorpion is the lightest, Airflex easiest to work on and maybe looks the best, Alltec have the most experience and they make a meaty machine, Ashbys Ninjas have everything from extra heat and vac boosters but Ashbys service can let them down although I have not been on the recieving end of it.

I guess that it will be shown at the cleaning show in March.

Before getting the TM I used the ninja with all the bells and whistles on never found it toooooo heavy and always worked great now a very good back up machine.
As for service from ashbys never needed any as nothing ever went wrong with it.

Sounds simular to most 2 vac machines but with another body, if I were to buy a porty for my main machine it would be a 3 vac machine.

Shaun

[brianbarber]

If you having demo, ask them to run the ninja with same spec side by side, see how they compare

I take it demo at dartford?

Mr B

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Aren't the Ninjas in parallel? the Enforcer should leave carpets drier.

Shaun

[carpet_care]

No shaun i have 2 ninjas there in series. The scorp and airflex or parallel  i think



 Andy Locke.

[Mark Slaney]

  Yes ninjas in series as well . They claim with the vac booster can opertate at 400ft.

[carpet_care]

I used to use the ninja with the vac booster and you could feel a reduction in vaccuum at 50ft i wouldnt even like to run my prowler at 400 ft so the ninja no way

What is the attraction to the 3 vac models?

Is it for longer hose runs, drier carpets or the ability to use higher psi or other?

[Joe H]

Definitely the first two you mention, plus cleaner and healthier carpets done quicker. (all depending on skill of operator of course).

High psi is not an issue really, most of time I am down to 300 anyway (but I suppose that could be classed as high compared to 135 a lot of 2 vac machines have).
