ninja vs exel

if you have a standed ninja the 135 psi one and a standed exel which would be better ???  they look to have the same spec so surely they would do the same job ?????

Yup. Adequate / insufficient. Go for the ninja if it must be a choice of these two. Better upgrade options.

Anyone planning on getting a new machine at EXPO? CFR are bringing out a new one.

Exel ways a ton! never used a ninja. The exel served me well for years I still use it every now and again but it kills my back. Within the next month or so I am going to get a Rhino as back to TM.

Ninja is easier to handle, by using a step I found loading/unloading  the ninja very easy and it takes up less van space.

I would have thought a Rhino from Mr Kelly would be the best option for a backup machine.

If you drop a Ninja it will survive a excel will not. Not that you are likely too, but what I am saying is the body work on  a ninja last a lot longer and looks better longer. A nicer colour too.

Never tried a Ninja but I still like my Exel, had it out yesterday to do a 3 piece suite that was down a little alleyway.   

If I'd just had the Prowler I would have had to park on the main street and run out about 150' of hose and even then not sure whether or not I would have reached.

from the new year ive down sized due to the t.m. doing very well ;D it does the work of two exels so now ive just got the t.m. and one exle out everyday  (apart from this month where ive got three portys out due to the t.m. being off the road )

ive so much on with other things  im not pushing the cleaning at the min and just booking work from regs,  we have had for years , ive got a cow shed to turn in too a house so im busy with the local planning dept. and stuff thers not engouh time in the day  :( 

ill have my eye back on the ball at the end of the month when the t.m.s back thats if the paint shop gets it finger out i may need a trip too avonmouth to sort them out soon  ;D
