Jim Neal the best thing about your post is at least you kept it short this time instead of one of your usual rants that is a page long but you still come across as a right smart arse its a simple question £166+vat for a 3stage lamb vac its over priced in my opinion when you can get a smilar vac from Cleansmart for £125+vat also having to pay £18+vat for a bracket to fit the vac is a joke.

as I said in my other post they all stick together,why they know they are needed, simplez :

Not to leap to Jims defence, he's a big boy and can handle himself! But he's got a point - your vac motors are an integral part of your setup - it doesn't make sense to faff around to save a few quid when if you lose half a days work when it goes pete tong you'd be worse off anyway.

Plus, I have to add that I don't think jim comes across as a smart arse, he's helped me and plenty others in the past with his experience - and bearing in mind that aint his job, I'm always grateful for whatever help I can get.

My 2c worth anyway.

[Darren O]

Who"s faffing around we are talking about the same Lamb vacs here to me £40 cheaper is a big saving.

[AshWhite]

£40 is not to be sniffed at, the problem lies when you're ordering from eBay etc and you don't know what your going to get from one transaction to the next, I think that's the point Jim was trying to make.

[Darren O]

Never had any intention of ordering of ebay iam talking about the price difference between Cleansmart and Ametech Uk.

[Darren O]

Big Jim"s giving a Ash a length

[AshWhite]

Very witty. Ignore any opinions that don't suit what you want to hear, and spend 3 days shopping to save an hours worth of wages. Great plan!

[Darren O]

Ash take a chill pill and dont worry about wages some of us have more than one machine

Ashley darling you're my knight in shining armour!

Anytime sweet cheeks

Cleansmart sell the 116859-13 1200w
Amtech the 117123-13 1500w high lift.
different spec entirely, hence price differential.

Accessory planet usually stocks the 117123-13
at £100.
http://www.ncsonline.co.uk/57_HP_Lamb_Vacuum_Motor_3_Stage
£89 + vat

Nobodies talking about cheaper motors, or dodgy fakes, merely
value for money.

In Amtechs defence i will say the motor will be with you ASAP.
You don't HAVE to buy a bracket, make one.

[darren72]

AJB got one of Accessory Planet for £100incl delivery thanks just saved my self £100.

AJB

Read on here the other day about a water sealed motor  what number is that and who supplies them surely that is the one to have in future.Providing it has Super Turbo Suction also and back end turbo  drying power

[AJB]

Those motors are the 6.6 motors 12236-18
as yet nobody knows whether these can be
used in a series arrangement, probably not as
Lamb Ametek don't like series setups any more.
The lift is less than the 117123s, but the CFMs
are approx' 40% more.
I can't be certain but i think Amtech are researching
them at the moment.

[john martin]

They say this  ... 116765-OD  240v   is the best motor out there at the moment ..

its about half way down the page ...
