Hi does anyone know of anyone apart from Ashbys who repairs or sells Ninja Machines? Would be much appreciated for your insight into this matter!

Most janatorial suppliers will repair your machine for you.

The Ninja is an American import and any repairer of hwe's can repair them, in fact, there is so little to them, you could probably do it yourself and get an electrician to test it !

Thank you for your replies, I have a 100 psi model but have been told to upgrade to a higher psi asap. I use it for about 12-20 hours every week mainly properties do you think this is ok or should I get the spec enhanced? Your time is appreciated thank you in advance

Who told you to get iy upgraded.

It is very easy to believe you have got to have lattest toy

A Senior Carpet Cleaner instructor  asured me 135psi was adequate

Have you a power brush or mechanical agitator,

I used to be happy with a brush and my 18 stone

Interesting point Ian makes, I thought about getting a sebo duo but I can't believe it (or anything else) agitates as well as me manually doing it with well chosen hand brush.

p.s. here's a tip to save money on air movers

Get an electric pump that are made to blow up small bouncy castles they do the same job and are a fraction of the cost.

There is less need for high psi than you are led to believe, when I had 400 psi available, I rarely needed it with 200psi being adequate for almost everything...............even when faced with Black Top, or heavily soiled Chinese / Indian resturants, etc, it's the chemical and aggitation that does the work.

You could clean effectively, with as little as 70 psi, provided that you have suitable chemicals, allow sufficient dwell time, aggitate adequately and use good wand technique.

Some will say this is rubbish and they will get a far better result, with their 1000 psi T/M, but, they won't be using the massive power available, in domestic, or even in most commercial work.

A T/M will, in most cases, be quicker and it's handy, occasionally, to have the extra power available, but the addition of an INLINE heater and some form of mechanical aggitation will get you much better results than your current set up.

A fair number of people use the little Sebo, but, it's very light and there are other options worth looking at.

Anything over 150 psi leaves lines in most domestic carpets which do fade but it does'nt make a good impression on custy.
