Sorry to here that what the problem?

Think Steve speaks with some authority as he has now using the second most powerfulness porty going (it not his old Ninja that’s been sold to some one in my neck of the woods)

Gary
It looked and sounded ok to me at Wolverhampton.

Mike

I’m sure I heard you say life time guaranty!

GaryJ

30 min depends on the job or the kitchen sink syndrome, one of my porty/lm jobs took nearly two hours to set up I hate central London!

Steve whats up with  the T/M?

I give all the machines I sell a 5yr money back guarentee with free repairs

Mike

Ps Did I say 5yrs? I meant 5 minutes

 

.
Its only firing on one cylinder just don't have time to sort it at the moment.Been told its the coil but the engine needs to come off to get to it.

Gary it looked like this

[John Kelly]

Timed myself today, 1930s semi. Pulled onto drive, 7 minutes to set up truckmount, hoses out, wand on ready to go.
Finish, 8 minutes to coil hoses and I haven't got a reel, put wand, spotters away and gone.
I've seen some people in action including some of my ex employees, takes them half an hour to wind up a solution hose on a portable!

No just get one of these..top spec

Does that 7 minutes include the Vac and Pre Spray?

Neil

[mark_roberts]

To clarify my post to cleaning co I would not run over 50ft all day every day with the Ninja UNLESS I was using the booster which can be placed closer to the wand.  Ive the heavy duty vacs too.

Again you need to think outside the box.

Setup time can be as little as 5 mins.  Depends where your parked, design of house etc.  Prevaccing and prespray are done before setup unless its more than one room.

The setup time was just that, set up. Thats what the debate is about. The pre-sprays, stain removal, pre vacs would take the same whether using truckmount or portable.

[bobdaines]

Just to say that I run a 9100lx and it is an awsome machine.
Trouble is that I do not think that Alltec supply them anymore!
Porty vs Truckmount?
After 27 yrs in the business, 24 with porty, I would NEVER go back to porty.
Just my own personal thoughts,

[conallon]

Steve, might sound daft, have you checked the plugs ?

Conrad

[conallon]

Do you have a powerfull music system ?

Do you have a fast car with plenty of poke ?

Do you have a mans cleaning machine 

[stevegunn]

Steve, might sound daft, have you checked the plugs ?

Conrad

Already done that.

Gary

I would not say £800 was a vast amount of money.My ninja cost more than that and lasted 9 months before pump needed replacing.Eclipse cost £3300 so in comparison  £800 nothing

[John Kelly]

Gary

Days of rushing around are long gone.

[cleaning co]

 steve  i was talking about people who buy brand new,not lumps of rust lol

[Ian Gourlay]

Is John Flynns  Truckmount still for sale?

I do not want it but I just thought I would give him a mention?

[John_Flynn]

Thanks for that Ian.

It is still here and been used daily, but am awaiting a deposit from a prospective buyer!!

So I guess the answer to your question is "Yes".

Ian please give me a call on 01924 508781 I would like a chat with you.

[the red carpet]

for anyone reading this post and thinking of a set up like cleaning co has suggested iv just looked in the ashbys catalouge and a top spec ninja with.

400 psi pump
1, 3 stage heavy duty vac + 1, 3 stage standard vac
internal v2 steammate heater 0-110 c
auto fill with chemical metering
auto dump

£3108 + vat


cleaning co,do you use the chemical metering?
or do you add your solution to the tank?

also with the auto dump do you have a waste water tank or do you run a hose to a drain?

[cleaning co]

hi, i payed less than that including vat and mine has two built in heaters u would get min 10% discount of list price
 p.s u cant hav a built in chem meter with a 400psi pump , i made an external chem meter up but its just as easy to add to your water tank, no idont hav waste tank the auto dump comes with a 30ft hose

I love my T/M,  my T/M's the best,  the best is my T/M  IMO any hoo

Guys that are looking at rotovac's have you looked at RX20's B£$&*!y exspensive but fantastic and vac aswell, dont even break a sweat using it either (apart from getting it out of the van)

Cleaning co ive tried to stay out of this debate because ILL admit that im a bit biased, but there is no way that T/M's arnt quicker, I do like your setup It's ideal for domestics though, wouldent dream of using it on commercial jobs although i realise you dont do many, T/M's are over kill for domestics but your porty on a pub still on the van with 100ft of hose you got to be kidding (get your sweat on)

[cleaning co]

get your sweat on ?  lmfco whats that meant to mean? on that pub i do a wood floor and its fine ,u got to be kidding ? well no iam there for 1 hour get £150 and he asks me back every week  so that 100ft speaks for it self mmmmmm nice

[stevegunn]

A big thank you to Lee Grundy who put me on the right track repairing my t/m it was the coil like he said.Took about an hour to do but running like a sewing machine now.Once again thanks Lee you know your stuff.
