Hey Russ , check out the trick manifold on this ... allows you to switch between series and parallel  ..

Thats very cool... the ability to switch between parallel and series... wonder if this feature will be the new trend?
Since i have switched over from a parallel machine to the Enforcer, i have had to change my wanding slightly... i tend to keep the wand on the carpet longer without lifting off in order to maintain the lift...
I used this method today using a teflon glide on my 12" wand and found the results to be impressive...

Nice van mounting ...  A petrol TM probably wouldn't have been much more efficient on that job .

Thanks John

Weather conditions were unfortunately terrible that day, freezing cold wind and shot bursts of snow making the job a real pain!

The remote control was struggling to operate when i was working in the basement which was to be expected, i would most definitely recommend using 2" hose with this machine to help maintain a good amount of airflow.
Even though the basement was a good 20' below the machine, it still managed to lift the water up the stairs and back to the machines recovery tank, leaving the carpets no wetter than they would be using any one of my previous machines.

In an effort to answer a couple comments above:

1.  Having a machine that has the capability of having either cfm or inches of lift is nothing new. This was available in the late to very early 80's. It did not become popular however, that old saying; "What's old is now something New" keeps on going around for time to time.

2.  In the States, having a machine with 2---3 stages with a 500-1000 psi pump would require 2 cords on a 120v circuit. Otherwise, it would be like fireworks on the fourth of July.

3.  Russ Chadd always has some of the most interesting videos in this industry! Many have always tuned in to them!

Best to all;

John, no need to rant and apply those types of labels. This is supposed to be a civil and Professional board where disagreements are dealt with in a more respectful way.
We will always try, as you,toward perfect perfection. However, once again, no one including most all manufactures and Suppliers in this fine Industry do not try to pull any wool over anyones eyes. And we should not be present to try desparately to point the finger(s) at anyone to prove an adjenda or try to "sell" ones brand over that of others.

Afterall, as Russ Chadd had stated in a recent thread, he purchased his equipment based on what it would preform on the carpet which is the most important. And as far as I am aware of, the JAGUAR 6.6 Industrial system never let him down.


Very best to you and others;

Taking the higher ground Ed , i don't buy it  ...

As you have  said if certain customers of yours like your machine i respect their choice and judgment  ...

I personally don't like the machine .. the body and waste tank mainly , based on my own user experience  ... 
I've seen little commitment to improve and develop the machine as I've observed with other manufactures .
There is someone in the for sale section looking for an Airflex , selling his Jag that he describes as ' god awful '   ....  so are we all wrong ?

We can agree to differ if you like  ...   but i will rate a machine on the merit of its design as i see it and who builds it makes no difference to me .

John;

Lets be fair about your opinions here.

I would be the first one to say that we can not satisfy everyone of the operators/purchasers of our equipment. And, neither could the other manufacturers out there, including the one you had named. In fact, as you already know, there are several operators of their machines that do not like them for their own reasons and may ike ours better; and visa versa.

So lets be honest once again.

You seem to put "us" to a different measurement. However, I would wager that YOU have not pleased your customers 100% as well. I'll bet you have had a few "callbacks/redo's, right? But, I wouldn't conclude that YOU are a bad cleaner or have bad equipment either because that would not be fair IMHO.
If you admit to satisfying all your customers (and they are local, not worldwide) who are only a drive away, then you would admit to me that you have had only a few limited customers.

So, come on lad, lets get real for once.

best always

If i was getting multiple repeat callbacks from different customers for mainly the same reason .. i would change my methods , invest in new equipment .. or pack the whole lot up .   
But I'm not  .

[Paul Moss]

Guys this is getting BORING now. All top portys are good and do the job thats why people are buying them. You can talk to death with your mates that a mondeo is better than a vectra or vice versa but at the end of the day they all do the same job,,,, and good.

Some will like one or the other machine or company. Thats people and thats life.

Enough now . Get over it.

Someone lock this thread now what started about nice service has turned into a discussion about the merits of different portables

Hi John what is your email address?

John sounds like he knows his stuff .....probably be on here with his own machine soon

Ha ha !  for his own use ...
there are probably others here that know as much as me about motors etc ...  they just don't bother posting it .

[Shaun_Ashmore]

I'm sure John has posted this before but I bet this would be a nice machine.

its a very good machine shaun with some nice features .. look at the waste gate , its unique .
But ...   It has no fresh water tank and its optimized for 120v vac wise ..ie the two stage vacs used are only about 250airwatts because 120v would draw too much current for anything more powerfull . But it could be refitted with better vacs for over here .

[Shaun_Ashmore]

It's a close to a TM I've seen as you would van mount it with a clean water tank and may be a burner, wonder if it could be done on 1 cord?

Shaun

[Russ Chadd]

Thats gonna require x2 13a sockets Shaun just for the motors... with the motors plumbed in this way you get high lift and high CFM... getting closer to TM performance
