Personally I have a couple of Lavors which have never been any grief - its the components around them that fail, flows switches in particular  ;D

That's fine but its just in a big box, I have the Lavor boiler in an Exchange box - again a very big box. I now have just a simple boiler, small frame, minimal plumbing with a remote tank which is all bolted to my trailer. If you have the room then it would be fine for sensible money - there are second hand machines. Where are you ?

I've been mulling over to build a trailer/van mount but to be honest I do like the idea of a hot box being portable. Same as the washer I use so can use them static or portible dependant on the job in hand.

What do you think?

I have a hot 21 ltr trailer and portable hot 15 ltr machine. Also about 5 other washers for gutters and washing the bike etc. I have about 65 m of hose on the trailer so I can get most things. 95 on the jetter

What jobs do you find work best using hot/steam as I've never used a hot box before so any advice would be much appreciated

Any job that involves paint removal and degreasing mostly. Anything else would be done with cold with the help of the odd chemicals

Thats true - I never tend to use the PW on gum because there never seems to be any water on the sites. I usually use the Osprey on gum

I'm looking at getting into masonry cleaning using low pressure steam cleaning which doesn’t damage the substrate that high pressure cold jetting would do.

What do you think of this as I know it’s just a boiler on a cart attached to a lower psi & flow rate pump than I currently use but does look the dogs nuts.

Nice site Chris ;)

What's the difference with a doff system and the one you use?

It would probably be less depressing if you ring the Samaritans.
