Fine choice!!

Having used a few portable machines I can honestly say the Eclipse is easily the best and I've had mine a year without any problems, at the end of the day our tools are there to make our jobs easier.
The additional solution power coupled with the inline heater has increased productivity over lesser machines 3 fold at least, trust me 135psi is simply not enough if your up against real dirt!!
Another obvious plus with the eclipse is the build quality, I have no doubt this is the best built porty on the market, this may contribute to its weight which to be honest isnt as unmanagable as some make out.

3 fold!! yer right o :

grow up!!

Paul,

Can we try to keep it friendly , a 3 fold increase in productivity is a rather wild claim.

Cheers,

Hi Doug,

I'm serious!! On a dirty pub or club carpet the additional solution pressure and heat have allowed me to use 8001 jets, using (unless really bad) single wand passes, this combined with the eclipses increased tank capacity has cut the cleaning time drastically, I dare say a TM would give even greater efficiency. Take into consideration my previous machine was a prochem comanche with no heat!!

[Doug Holloway]

Hi Paul,

Fair enough ,

Heat is the absolute key on a  really dirty carpet.

Cheers,

Doug

Your not wrong Doug, heat does the business when sugary drinks mainly coke I expect are wall to wall.

hi paul    if iam using a 400psi machine with 100ft hose, heater that gets up to a very hot constant temp with burst of steam auto fill(with a 300 litre tank) auto dump never hav to take  machine out never hav to go back out to van to fill or empty  do all this of two leads  how can u claim  3 fold incres proud over portable other portble setups? thats just madness imo

All depends on the job, I agree in most situations that kind of time saving is never going to happen, the regular job I have in mind has benefited for the reasons I stated above.


Why on earth would I make something up

 mmm now i am lost : lol   are u saying u hav made your jobs faster and better to do as oposed to your old setup or just other portable setups   if it is becasuse of u old setup then u are 100% right  because a commache machine that u had although allright  its micky mouse compared to your new setup     freindly regards gary

Totally agree! The comanche is a toy by comparison, although the twin 3 stage vacs performed well over short distances the 100psi solution pump is the machines major downfall. As I stated before running smaller jets at higher pressures with heat have allowed for frugal but highly effective rinsing/cleaning, so considerably less time faffing about with buckets.

Its  arrived.

Got the eclipse today. I have only had a small play with it and  it seems to be a VERY NICE MACHINE

Hi Tihson

How are you going to get it in and out of your van? Nick got me a ramp and hose reel built for mine, but I have come up with a cheap way around this now, second hand wheel chair ramps, the manual types that you get on the back of minibuses. ebay would be a great place to start looking.

One other thing if you got the high pressure machine (500psi) then get a tap put on your pressure hose so it easier to change tools.

Good luck

Respect

[Bob Robertson]

Thanks Ian

I am looking on ebay for a ramp just now , also seen the one  Steve  Gunn has got from a previous post . What is a tap for the pressure  hose as i have the high pressure (500psi) machine ?

Thanks

tihson

[cleaning co]

hi its an on, off   valve    so u can change tools at the end of hose without going back to machine to release the pressure , a must if u hav pump over 200psi, i hav the ball valve type  on mine u, can get them for couple £ from your local hose supplier
