These look good value, may get a discount on 2 or more although at that price they are good price anyway.

As with any equipment, you get what you pay for. Some of the cheaper ones have inferior motors. May still work out cheaper but expect to replace them more often. Drieaz are probably the best make.

Cheers for the link Shaun, i went over to bury today and collected a couple, using  now to dry a 100% wool rug. well worth £100 imo.
Like John says tho suppose time will tell as to say how good they really are, i will only really be using on rugs that i clean in my garage, not day in day out, so hope they will last.

The one I got from Ashby's, which wasn't cheap, is 1.5hp and I've noticed most snails are usually only 1hp.

I don't have a problem with Ashbys but everything I have bought from them has broken within no time, perhaps I'm too heavy handed!

Saying that Ashbys have some very innovative products.

i noticed that ashbys have every concievable attachment needed for the ninja...........only thing missing is a toilet brush!!!

i like ashbys stuff ...................if you look on their website.think there is a small discount

If you ever have a trashed carpet and want to see miricles happen.

I bought two 5kg tubs of their solution tank powder I think it's about ph 12 with just two scoops. I've hardly made a dent in the first tub.

Stopped using it when I went over to m/s

[Shaun_Ashmore]

I have 2 drieze turbos and 2 brought electrical turbos and the DE's ones are alot heavier and they seem to dry marginly faster but I think I may get the Ashby's ones just because they are 1.5 hp and they should in theory get the carpet drier.

PS John Kelly is my sprayer ready?

thanks shaun

Just got one of these ebay blowers. Definately inferior to Ashby's offering, the lead is only 3ft long for starters. The Ashby one isn't stackable though.

Having said that for a ton you can't complain and I needed more for rugs rather than one mega powerful one.

[markpowell]

How much is the ashbys one mick

[John Kelly]

Shaun, waiting new hoses. Was told they would be sent out last week. Chased them yesterday and should be here this week.

Also bear in mind the ashby design doesn't lend itself to working in tilted and facing up position like most other snail designs.

The downdraft air movers are more expensive but worth the extra investment.

CFR are worth a try on offer at moment at:-
